Interestingly, way back when Alex Jones was first getting his start on Austin public access, he called into the Atheist Experience show (which also appeared on Austin public access at the time).

He was a wingnut in the clip then (this was many years ago). (4:35)

In conventional political terms, Jones was all over the map then, as now. His show had some appeal to local lefties because of his attacks on the military, law enforcement, corporations, and the Bush family. His brand of anti-science also emphasized new age woo like UFOs and ESP over religious right anti-science like creationism. Libertarianism was not a well understood concept among the mass audience at that time. He was also publicly agnostic then, which certainly did not endear him to conventional wingnuts. It is a subject he avoids these days.
