Political commentator Jack Hunter, FreedomWorks Director Austin Petersen attack Alex Jones

[jmdrake]

I think the listeners he gains will not be from watching last night, but from those who have a morbid curiosity after listening to his crucifixtion in the media over the next 24 hours. They are not likely people to have their minds' changed. Hope I am wrong.

Anyone with "morbid curiosity" enough to listen to a couple of Alex Jones shows and then follows up with enough "morbid curiosity" to actually look up some of the "crazy" information Jones talks about will likely change their mind and quit supporting big government. I look forward to more "curious" people looking up the Saudi Visa Express program.

your claim appears to be truthful.

To be fair, there were quite a few negative comments as well.

Piers Morgan knew what he was doing to get Alex Jones on his show because Jones IS a right-wing zealot living in his own conspiracy theorist world. The LAST person you want arguing a 2nd Amendment case for us gun owners is Alex Jones. The dude is a liability that everyone needs to distance themselves from.

Alex Jones LOST because he LOST his temper. Alex Jones has some good facts and then he says “How many chimpanzees can dance on the head of a pen?” Geez, Alex, why are you talking about great white sharks or jumping off the top of the Empire State Building? Suicide pills?? Alex can’t stay on topic!!

Serious question: Is Alex Jones mentally insane?

Yeah, unfortunately Morgan won. Jones made the gun rights side look bad.

It did seem positive overall though. Nevertheless, although I'm not a fan, I don't have any problem with Alex doing what he wants.

I'm surprised that Jack Hunter has not already written a blog about how stupid Ron Paul is for going on AJ's show tomorrow and the damage he is doing to the movement.

Alex Jones blamed the problems in American society on what he called “mass murder pills” and immediately attacked the corporate sponsor of CNN whom he tried to characterize as poisoning people with antidepressants so they would be motivated to commit murder. Although it is strange that Alex would make that claim as America always has been a statistically more violent nation compared to the UK even since before antidepressants were commonly distributed.

And here we go again. Just because Alex Jones talks about a lot of different "conspiracy" theories does not make everything he says automatically invalid. Jones is bombastic, but the danger and role of prescription drugs in these mass murder cases needs to be addressed. The manufacturers know what the side effects are. It's printed on the damn label! How can that be a "conspiracy"?!

I can't wait for the return of the Hale Bopp comet so AJ and all of his "awakened" followers can put on their Nikes and be gone.

the statist are the ones drinking the kool-aid.
The AJ people will have proper water filters.

Exclusive coverage of Alex's last trip with his followers to chase bilderbergs latest annual meeting...I wish i could find video evidence of when he had his followers running for the hills when he said the russians were setting off nukes in 2000.

Sold to them of course by Alex Jones.

well, he doesn't own the company, but he will make a cut.
He is getting their product in front of people, people get paid for that...
Unless you also have a problem with people getting paid.

You were one of the back stabbers, and you can't admit it. I know you'd love to talk yourself back into being able pretend you were in the right again. Feel free. I won't read it anyway.

Ron was happy about the rule change. He was probably in on it. He didn't want to be nominated. You and some others just didn't give a hoot what he wanted.

LOL!

Not at all. I just think when you get to the bottom of it all, last night was all about Jones being his bombastic self to get more people onto his website. He could have very well been mild-mannered and stuck to the 2nd Amendment issue alone - but if he did, no one would be talking about him today. I believe, the whole of the events from yesterday from the TSA incident to him flying off the handle were all carefully orchestrated.

Jones is a showman first, a pitchman second, and a commentator third.

everyone is also talking about the 2nd amendment, and people are feeling emboldened in general by the interview.
at work, people never heard of Jones or any of the other things he was talking about-
today, i have them looking all the stuff up.

I sent the tube to one guy at work. He apparently sent it to everyone else... and it has been topic of the day.

Here's a rule from the forum guidelines:


This does apply to being antagonistic against the campaigns that we are promoting when they're going on. People who want to do that may be able to up through 2014. But once Rand becomes the flagship here, then, yes, they will be pushed out. You probably know this already.

Each subforum has a mini mission statement, but this is the mission statement:

Mission Statement: Inspired by US Rep. Ron Paul of Texas, this site is dedicated to facilitating grassroots initiatives that aim to restore a sovereign limited constitutional Republic based on the rule of law, states' rights and individual rights. We seek to enshrine the original intent of our Founders to foster respect for private property, seek justice, provide opportunity, and to secure individual liberty for ourselves and our posterity.

If Josh decides to make Rand 'the flagship' here, so all who post mustn't say anything about the way Ron's campaign ended even if it doesn't include Rand, as what I posted wasn't about Rand at all, that would certainly be his option, but right now you are simply making things up, as far as I can tell.

Right - all because Jones was being Jones. Some guy files off the handle at Pierce Morgan - come see the freak show.

The event won't move the debate an inch one way or another. It was a mutually beneficial ratings ploy for both parties. Like I said if it was a calm and mild-mannered interview than no one would care and it wouldn't be on the front page of Drudge. Both Jones and Morgan got exactly what they wanted - attention. And honestly, I highly doubt that anyone is going to turn from pro-gun to anti-gun (or vice versa) because of this.

 

[erowe1]

You just keep telling yourself that.

I don't expect you to get the boot, since you haven't yet. You obviously have some kind of special arrangement here, not sure if you're Josh's mother-in-law or what. But you and I both know that others of your ilk will need to find ways to be more supportive of whatever official campaigns we're rallying around by the time doing that becomes important.

If you haven't checked where the url randpaulforums.com takes you, it's worth a look.

Entirely true. There's no need to panic or rejoice over it.

It takes you to Rand Paul's subforum, as it has since he started to run for Senate. I noticed it then.

I will likely end up voting for Rand if the lineups are what they seem likely to be at this point, and barring some other liberty bear coming out of the woods so to speak. However, he will have to motivate me between now and then to make it more than that. That could happen, as I have said he is one of our best senators, and he has three years. But you are the one making this about Rand, not me, your statement was about RON, and about those who supported his campaign through convention, and I was defending him, and our support of him, not saying anything at all about Rand.

 

[CaptLouAlbano]

Entirely true. There's no need to panic or rejoice over it.

Well you can rejoice if you own the storable food company that advertises on his show - because for them their pitchman did a great job last night.

 

[erowe1]

your statement was about RON, and about those who supported his campaign through convention, and I was defending him, and our support of him, not saying anything at all about Rand.

Those who supported Ron supported his decision not to pursue the nomination. Those who tried to force him to were not supporting him. You banned people for not joining you in your efforts against him.

But no, that's not what my statement was about in the post you quoted in the post of yours to which I was replying, to which you replied with the post to which I am replying here.

Anyone who disagrees with you is just a Coincidence Theorist!
