I’m more than a little weirded out that I find myself largely in agreement with them on this one matter. When Infowars commenters sound saner than the people running for POTUS…

It would seem easy: vote Libertarian Party if at all.

re: #1 CuriousLurker

Sometimes a thread on infowars will be completely sane and reasonable, then somebody brings up the Jews….

and you can guess where it goes from there.

I don’t like government spying, the drug war, or the militarization of police, but blaming it on Jews and calling it a day is just plain lazy. In the world of Alex Jones the truth is always hiding in the shadows. The way I see it the truth is right in front of us. You don’t have to look to hard to find government corruption, erosion of constitutional and civil liberties, and police misconduct. But it shouldn’t be packaged so neatly as a tidy “New World Order” conspiracy. Just look around, the people in charge are as incompetent as anyone else. We live in a society where a president can’t even get a blowjob without the entire goddam world finding out. Sorry, there are no lizard people plotting to overthrow mankind.

re: #3 Boondocksaint

I’ve never actually read an Infowars article, including the one you linked to. Having seen a couple of videos of Alex Jone’s red-faced, spittle-flecked, shouting rants was enough to convince me that nothing he or his fan base had to say on his website would be of value to me in any way.

As for comments, there are very few places where I read them, so even if I’d ever bothered to go to Infowars, it’s highly unlikely that I would’ve wasted additional time reading the comments. Antisemitism existing at such a site isn’t surprising in the least. Mainstream news sites’ comments are typically filled with racism & bigotry, even when no ethnic (or other) minorities are the subject of the articles—I’d have to be a fool not to expect that a site peddling conspiracy theories would be exponentially worse.
