Did you guys see Alex Jones on the View just now?

I agree completely. However more than a small minority would look him up if AJ hadn't acted like an obnoxious ass. If he would get invited back to more shows by acting like a normal rational intelligent well-behaved civil human being then he would turn a lot MORE people out in his / our favor.

Make this my stock response to every AJ rant, every loud person booing at CPAC, every person throwing snowballs at Hannity...

Acting like a normal rational intelligent well-behaved civil human being is all well and good.

In normal rational intelligent times.

That is not what are living in...we are living in a crazyhouse where uniformed government goons are sticking their hands down the pants of nine year olds "for our safety", where illegal wars are being waged on three fronts, while the nation goes into debt by the trillions and banksters loot the treasury to bail their sorry asses out, where settled law states that a government bureaucrat can sign a piece of paper, send out armed men to snatch up a US citizen, whisk them off to some foreign nation to be tortured, tried and executed by military tribunal with no constitutional safeguards whatsoever.

That's where we are in 2011.

I'll start being calm, and "rational" and mild mannered, when some of this shit starts to come to an end, not before.

I like AJ because he wakes people up, he helped me wake up to the facts. Even if the facts he spews are half facts and half complete hysteria he does get his point across which is good for Ron Paul and liberty. I think thats part of his charm is his overblown intense in your face offensive attitude towards everything. He is crazy but he does have good information.

I was surprised he was so calm on the joy behar show after watching the view. I'm sure the producers told him to tone it down because Behar may have a seizure if he spews too many facts and real news in her face.

Finally, someone with a rational response:) Why should we debate like we are talking about the merits of different ice cream flavors when like you say AF "goons are sticking their hands down the pants of nine year olds 'for our safety'".
 
^ Alex says @11:15 he was supposed to be on Laurence O'Donnell's MSNBC show but they ended up cancelling. Maybe The Collins is right? :D

:collins::collins::collins:



I doubt his View appearance had anything to do with it though.

Meh, it's gotten us this far.

And it's worked well for me, I've handed out hundreds, if not thousands of his videos and had many, many, many people come back to me, sometimes years after the fact to comment how much that one video changed their outlook on things.

Which is not to say, if you don't care for him, that's somehow "wrong". Whatever blows people's skirts up.

But he has been a long time, tireless advocate for liberty, limited government, the constitution and Ron Paul.

And he has a very large and growing audience.

won't sit well with my circle of engineering/biochem masters and soon to be medical doctors is all i know. start a topic and they often voluntarily carry on with further inquiries, even if they may not be that interested at all. many educated people have a curious mind by nature. loudness and abashing attitude serve here no purpose.

edit: well, the view won't have their viewership. small justification.

The first part was decent. But wondering off topic in a belligerent and random attitude is rude and perceived of as crazy. My first thought was "this guy is unstable and hasn't taken his meds today". It's exactly how / and why he gets written off into the "irrelevant" corner because of his behavior like this. Again, I highly doubt he'll be doing any major media interviews again in the near future after his antics. He basically tried to hijack their show, hosts and producers HATE it when guests do that.

If he could behave rationally then he would be invited on a lot more shows I'm sure. Michael Savage is kind of the same way.

I'm in the same boat Matt. I like AJ, I really do but he comes off as "crazy" for starters. He is always breaking REAL stories and presenting facts but he (often times) will the facts and string them together to support his reality and by that I mean that he will twist the facts out to support an absolutely ridiculous conclusion. Again, i like the guy but he comes off as crazy and it EMBARRASSES me to have to explain why I listen to "that crazy guy."
 
He might get more attention acting the way he did, but it comes at the cost of looking like an insane person who has no grasp on reality....charlie sheen......He could have tried to lead the conversation towards some of the things he really wanted to talk about in a better way.
 
My take is that if you're going on The View, you might as well come out swinging and make it memorable. I hate that show so much, its so full of mindless drivel and pro-government propaganda, so I was happy to see him mix it up with those dumb bimbos and take over their show. Any other show, Collins might have a point, but this is The View we are talking out. It's different than doing your typical one-on-one interview anyways, those yentas talk over each other all the time, its to be expected.
 
Wow, I’ve never seen an interviewee take over an interview so well. What a show of impeccable timing and speed and volume! They were hijacked by a master, who replied and stayed on topic just enough to pull it off. I’m sure the ladies went to commercial thinking they should have known better than chancing the radio-show host that he is. Now I’ll be watching for hints of an AJ Show on FOX business, since I believe he just passed the audition.
 
That was probably the most entertaining interivew ever seen on that show.
 
Like William Kostric said; sometimes you need to expose people to the other extreme of their thinking in order to shake them out of their apathy. Alex woke me up -- first time I heard him I thought who the hell is this guy, I checked out his website, got to know Ron Paul and the rest is history.

Now, I don't take everything Alex says as gospel but I suspect he's the most effective out there in waking people by an order of magnitude compared to any other libertarian (with the possible exception of Ron Paul). People will always listen to emotion over logic, Alex hits them with both. He's doing an excellent job, IMO.

Staying out of the mainstream has worked wonders for his credibility.

I haven't seen the interview yet but absolutely agree with you on this. If he would have been mild mannered they would have eaten him alive. I would venture a guess that anyone who watches that show regularly wants to know more about a man (and his opinions on the issues) who doesn't take crap from women like those that host that show.

I'm sorry, but where did he "wonder" off topic? ;) I didn't see him "wander" off topic either. His theme was "Charlie Sheen isn't the bad guy here". Part of that theme includes the fact that Sheen has (along with Jones) been standing up against some really bad actors like those who killed 1 million in Iraq and the TSA for putting its hands down people's pants. That was a very clever slap at Whoppie Goldberg and she richly deserved it. Rude? No. Being rude would have been calling Whoppie the butt ugly terrorist that she is. I'm sorry but when Whoppie Goldberg went permanently on my crapper list when she compared "opt out day" protesters to terrorist. She's much less deserving of respect than Ron Ramsey or Gov. Haslam or Bob Corker or anyone else you've ever been rude to. Think about that.
