In terms of information and promoting an open mind towards alternative media, they do a lot of good. A lot of people see AJ as a nutcase though, the same way they view Paul. So the association doesn't help a lot of the time. I am a fan of Alex and love how highly speaks of Paul, but the reality is, most people aren't seeing it this way.the alex jones crowd does more harm than good? no way... i'll never believe it.

Exactly. After all the shit this guy's talked about Ron and anyone that supports Ron's positions, he's the last one to preach down to us from a moral high ground. The only type of a supporter that the call-screener of that show let on are people that Beck can jeer at in order to feel good about themselves. He's a arrogant, elitist ass of the highest order.Glenn Beck should stick his forked tongue back into his mouth. He's no friend of Ron Paul nor his supporters. People like Beck will find any reason to diss Ron Paul, and this is no different. He calls Paul's supporters "crazy", and notice that that was a blanket statement. He didn't say that some of us are crazy, or that a few of us are not all there, but that his supporters period were crazy. Oh yes, we're the crazy supporters who want another war, this time with a country that poses zero threat to us, we support a man who said we might have to go back to Iraq, and we support people who believe that it's the job of the US to police the world. I'm sorry, but Beck is the lunatic here. The only thing he's consistent on is calling Ron Paul's supporters terrorists or crazy.
Saying you don't like Ron Paul because of his supports is like saying you don't like Star Trek because of the nerdy fans who play Klingon Bobble every Tuesday night.
But that's the point. Whether that caller is the standard Paul supporter, the standard Paul supporter who calls onto radio shows, or an anomaly doesn't matter. Every one of us has an obligation to the movement to be more knowledgeable, more empathetic and more respectful than supporters of any other candidate.
Really, we've got to know better than to fall into 9/11-trutherism, Joooos Control The World-ism, Israel Runs America-ism etc etc. The media LOVES saying that all Ron Paul supporters are either drug users or nutjobs. We can't play into their hands.

No, Alex is pretty nuts. Sometimes he says things that are true, sometimes he exaggerates, and sometimes he's just flatout wrong... but his show is based on conspiracy theories, so everything has to be a conspiracy. When all you have is a hammer, after all...
But Paul isn't a nutcase. Paul is rational. He doesn't sensationalize things. He just speaks the truth.
Amen-rep
Alex Jones has done more for this movement than a keyboard warrior such as your self ever will. He was supporting Ron Paul before you even knew who the man was. Many of those oh so horrible "truthers" have been some of the hardest working supporters in this movement from the very beginning. Stop attacking your allies to appease a bunch of neo-con hacks who will NEVER be with us. All you are doing is being needlessly divisive & counter-productive. Fuck Glenn Beck & to hells with his approval or support. Thanks for using the same old tired ass "he's nuts" attack, because that's not used enough in this country in place of polite political discourse. I especially expect more from a supposed Ron Paul supporter.
“What they’re doing to Ron Paul, these supporters like that,” said Beck. “Is they’re making him less attractive to the average person because no one wants to be in the crazy camp.”
