This becomes rather disturbing/fascinating/hilarious/unusual. A bit of particular insanity begins at 5:40, lol: |

Do people like Alex Jones not realize how unintentially hilarious they are? |

I've never even heard of Alex Jones before reading his petition to deport Piers Morgan had enough signatures for the White House to act on it yesterday. |

Alex Jones is the BKB of libertarians, he's good for creating attention and awareness, but the guy is a fucking idiot and the 3rd closest thing to a real life version of an Internet troll, behind Trump and Skip Bayless |

Does anyone think Alex Jones believes most of the bile that he spews? I think he does most of it for the $$$. He knows that there is a part of the population that likes to hear that kind of stuff so he turns it up to 11. 9/11 truthers, doomsday preppers, gold standard types, etc. BTW, he played a similar role in A Scanner Darkly. A raving loony. |

Whoever wins, we lose. Although this nutjob manages the difficult task of making Piers Morgan seem sympathetic. |

I love Alex Jones. Unfortunately, 99+% of the population are too uninformed to even be ready to listen to him. It is also a bit unfortunate that he gets over-emotional and he interrupts way too much. This damages his ability to be invited to debates and be taken more seriously. He needs to learn to subdue his radio personality in external situations like this. Piers is a total stooge though and I have no respect at all for him, even if he clearly came off in this as the more rationally-minded one. He is all opinion and corporate news controlled and very poorly informed. |

I get what he's going for but I don't know. It's just as easy to always believe you're being screwed and misled by the government than to believe everything you hear. And when the most prominent conspiracy theorists are Alex Jones, Charlie Sheen and Jesse Ventura, you're not going to sway the level-minded. Also, my bullshit meter goes full tilt when I hear that he's armed to protect his family... with over 55 guns. |

Haha. Well that's 19 seconds very much out of context. You have to have followed the guy for quite awhile to appreciate something like this. He's not talking about nerds like any of us - he's talking about the kind that go into finance, big business, and government, and specifically the ones that get to the highest ranks. If you take Jones with healthy grain of salt he's very entertaining and knows a hell of a lot more than people give him credit for. |

As long as Alex Jones is a ranting, raving lunatic, I'm not going to believe he knows more than most give him credit for. Entertaining in a circus-act kind of way, maybe. But not more intelligent than most. |

| Author: | Proud Ryu [ Tue Jan 22, 2013 6:28 pm ] |
| Post subject: | Re: Alex Jones/Piers Morgan interview |
Intelligence and knowledge are different - Alex is pretty smart but his knowledge outstrips his intellect. Say what you will about his speaking style and tact, and of course some of his conjecture is going to be more satisfying of entertainment than fact, but the guy knows his history like few else. I don't want to burn too much fuel defending him, but he deserves more credit than he gets - for most people it's just easier to stereotype, point, laugh, and ad hominem than to consider a well-informed viewpoint other than what is spoon fed them by the corporate controlled media. |

Proud Ryu, You should never defend an extremist, and Alex Jones is an extremist. Extremists can often be very intelligent, can sometimes be right, and may even share opinions similar to more sensible people. Knowing what makes you different than Alex Jones is very, very important. |

| Post subject: | Re: Alex Jones/Piers Morgan interview |
I hear you Eagle. Alex often makes it difficult to defend him. At the end of the day he is a radio show host and he falls into the shock jock category sometimes, so it makes it easy for people to cherry pick videos like the one above. It's unfortunate because his knowledge of history and current events is vast and he has a lot of great things to say. I've listened to him quite a bit and find about 80% of what he says very much worth hearing, and the other 20% as fear-mongering, conspiratorial conjecture, or conservative nonsense. I characterize his interpretation of events as overly cautious, though I wouldn't argue too much against anyone calling him an alarmist or accuse him of fear-mongering. He's not for everyone, that's for sure. I like him because he's one of the very few who will call out both parties almost equally and for valid reasons which he will explain. I just use my own mental filter to ignore the sillier things like the above video. In contrast, there is not a single purely conservative political pundit that I can stand to listen to - can't stand Limbaugh, Hannity, O'Reilly, Beck, Coulter, etc. I can listen to some of the liberal ones only because there's usually less venom and more general intelligence and humor. But I'm less and less apt to follow them either because of the one-sidedness. Political tribalism and lack of self-criticism is a massive problem. |

Is Alex Jones Goldie? Or at least that Super Saiyun/Alex Jones sound bite reminds me of Goldie |

Even if someone was brilliant but 20% of what they said was batshit insane... I would not want to listen to that person. Ever. |
