And we would be able to tell by the sudden onset of anti-social behavior, delusional narcissism, and debilitating paranoia, as these would be a stark contrast to his current behavior...

Well clearly you are well qualified to make that diagnosis then.

Not true. He's on 1 pirate station and then he has a show on Sundays on 590 am for 2 hours, that's it. The true freedom lovers here can't stand AJ because of stunts like this.

Those who are converted from mainstream media thought by Alex Jones are like those converted by hell-fire and brimstone preachers. When the initial 'I'm-going-to-hell-tomorrow' fear wears off, they go back to what they were, or maybe even become LESS receptive to truth. That being said, I think he has some of the most interesting things to say and covers a lot more news than most media. And he DID predict 9-11 months before it happened.
If it weren't for Ron Paul, I would have never heard of Alex. I think the first I ever heard of him was when I clicked a link to his show to hear Ron Paul. I didn't like him to begin with, cutting off the radio almost every time I listened, but I've gotten used to him. He likes to be the one with the info, and feels like he has to overtalk anyone who says anything remotely related to the topics he always covers. He's a self-professed conspiracy theorist, so I always take him with a grain of salt. Its his personality that makes him aggressive and territorial about the info he disseminates.

More qualified than most people on here yes.

Anti social behavior? Alex Jones is incredibly social and loves people.
Delusional narcissism? It's called pride.
Debilitating paranoia? Yes his paranoia is so debilitating that he can host a radio show, make documentary films, do countless interviews, and raise his two small children, among many other things.

No he didn't. What he did predict that at some time in the future that there would be a terrorist attack and that the government would use this to justify laws which abrogate the fundamental rights of the people.
All those in the patriot media were saying the exact same thing from the mid 90's on. Anyone who was even mildly informed back then was predicting the exact same thing.
His predicting of 9/11 is simply another example of Alex Jones twisting the truth, exaggerating and taking things out of context in an attempt to make what he says credible.
You know what? I predict that in the future there will be another terrorist attack which will be used by the legislature to justify the increase in government power over the people.

Is it better to be stuck in a false left/right paradigm or to be stuck in a lunacy/fear/sensationalist paradigm?
Alex misleads people every day.
Examples of him misleading people?

You mean like the video in this thread where he talks about how the co-intel pro people at the rally? when in fact they were known liberty activists? and IIRC even members of this site.

I'm talking about him misleading as far as the information he covers.
Him "crashing" a gun rally and saying the people were co intel pro is not one of Alex's finer moments, but he is human. We all make mistakes and we all lie from time to time.

So you agree, he was misleading his listeners in that segment?

"We all lie from time to time"?
Really?
I mean... really? That's how low you're willing to sink to defend this scumbag?

He could have been. He also could have really interpreted those people as co intel pro. We don't have all the details. There could be an explanation that rationalizes his behavior at the gun rally.
I lie. You lie. We all do. Even if AJ flat out lied about thinking those people were co intel pro, that's one lie. And it's a lie that isn't even about the information he covers, which is what I really want you to provide me with.

How the hell is lying about a rally he attended, and lying about those who opposed him, not lying about "information he covers"? And please don't tell me you're so immature you don't understand the difference between "everyone lies" and committing what is arguably libel on your nationally-syndicated radio show? A show were you claim to be the paragon of truth revealing the lies of everyone else?
Face it: you're trying to defend the indefensible just because he shares your political views (and mine for that matter). Just because someone is a libertarian does not make them immune from human fallibilities or from standards of moral and ethical conduct.
Jones is at best a fool, and a dishonest fool at that.

huhuh. he misled and lied...and furthered the conspiracy theory paradigm by making people think there are enemies everywhere. you can't even trust your local fellow liberty activists because they are obviously co-intelpro....even though it was their event he was crashing....

His crashing a gun rally and saying people were co intel pro is what leads me to believe that HE is the one who is co intel pro.

I used to think I liked the guy, but no more.
Are you doubting the fact that government agents show up to gun rallies and We Are Change meet ups?

Nope, but pushing the thought that everybody is suspect and inproperly labeling good people, creates division and mistrust. It is exactly what a government agent would want/do. When people don't trust each other / work together nothing happens.
In this instance AJ served to cause harm.
