Rand Paul on The Alex Jones Show today

[Travlyr]

I'd question anyone on this board as to where your true intentions lie, should you dislike Alex Jones.

You've either not:
1. paid enough attention to his show
2. read his homepage for current news
3. considered how sincere he is
4. listened to deep interviews of top notch current political figures including Rand and Ron Paul to name the most obvious
5. watched his movies promoting liberty

He's so spot on and defiant in the face of tyranny, that should you renounce him for being passionate and pissed off, or for the 9/11 attacks, and don't go to his website to review his material and see for yourself at www.infowars.com;

I will question your sincerity and lack of intelligent consideration.

Oh, come on. Some people just don't like beer, so to speak.

I don't like the rants and presentation. I can't even get to the content. I don't need to disparage him, but I have no interest, ever, in watching him, either.

 

[Travlyr]

I'm sure that I agree with most of his positions on the issues, but I'm not going to take anybody seriously who claims that world bankers are trying to kill off 80% of the world's population.

You do realize that there are a lot more people living in the streets today than last year, right? Some will not survive the winter, and there are many more on the way to the streets through foreclosure. Many people have not made preparations for economic chaos. They may not get 80% eliminated before we stop them, but it sure looks like they are trying.

I don't blame you for that. Nobody has to listen to AJ. But to claim AJ is not a sincere liberty guy is wrong.

 

[Son of Detroit]

I don't really believe AJ is as passionate as he seems. I think he's just in it for himself, such as Glenn Beck. I wouldn't doubt if it's all a facade.

6. Questioned and researched many of the topics he's promoted and found them untrue.

Please share.

What I really like about Alex Jones is his emphasis on the reality that there is a push toward rule by scientific elite. It is a very real movement and has been happening for decades.

One of the things I want to hear atheists speak out on more is a rejection of rule by any elite, scientific or otherwise. Tyranny is tyranny.

This. Lots of people aren't interested in loud angry rants, whether it's from people who are on our side politically, or whether it's from Keith Olbermann or Ed Schultz.

I watched The Obama Deception and found out about the Federal Reserve and Ron Paul because of his films. Didn't even watch news in 2008 and certainly had no clue who Ron Paul was.

Think of him what you will, the guy has had a pretty big effect on the news in this country. Drudge top linked his stories for weeks and made the TSA outrage what it is. Drudge is now linking Ron Paul speeches on the TSA and also mentioning him more often it seems when it comes to the Federal Reserve.

Anyone who wants to play politics go right ahead. Are country is going to h*** in a handbasket and it is hard to hear some of you on here whining about Jones being to over the top. He's got a big mouth, he's got plenty of viewers and his fight is our fight.

Grow a pair, we aren't gonna win this country back by cowering to the mainstream media or anticipated smear tactics! We need ALL the allies we can get and Jones, in my book, is certainly one of them.

AJ may make mistakes like any human but he is a huge positive for liberty.

 

[jmdrake]

On now, though only for one or two segments. Seems that Rand is trying to limit his liability.

Most guests on the show are only on for one or two segments.

+rep! If all of the Chicken Littles on this forum were right, then Rand shouldn't have been able to win his senate seat as he went on the Alex Jones show before and during that race. For the record I've never seen any actual evidence of any person who otherwise would have voted for Ron Paul being turned off because he went on the Alex Jones show or was associated with "truthers". Please not the part that I put in bold. There are a lot of people who didn't like Paul for other reason. "Conservatives" (those brainwashed by the neocons) didn't like him because they support the "warfare state" and liberals don't like him because they support the "welfare state". Alex Jones, like him or not, has help many people break through both the "warfare" and "welfare" state mentality. Forget the idiots like Michael Medved who hate Ron and Rand no matter what they do. And anybody who takes a clown like that seriously is too far gone to reach in the short term anyway.

It was certainly a fun line of attack for the neocons back in 2007:

RedState, HotAir, LGF: all of them slammed constantly Paul's frequent interviews with Alex Jones.

That zooming sound you hear is the point I made that went right over your head. RedState, HotAir, LGF and Michael Medved (who I already mentioned) do not represent objective and reachable voters! They are hacks who had already made up their minds against Paul (largely because they are in love with spilling Muslim blood) and would have come up with any excuse possible to attack Ron! What I'm talking about is when I went door to door canvasing for Paul or making phone calls for Paul I never once heard anybody say "I'd vote for Paul, but he's associated with 9/11 truthers". Not once! I did hear people say "I don't like Paul because he supports gay marriage" (NOT true by the way). Or "I just don't like his foreign policy. I think we should have overthrown Saddam." Or from the left "I don't like him because he's pro life and against the welfare state." But that's ok. Keep kidding yourself and letting these talking head bloggers that hate you anyway set the agenda. Meanwhile Geraldo has started realizing on his own that these latest "terror attacks" are staged. I doubt he would have figured that out with the WTC 7 campaign.

Wasn't Alex Jones the catalyst that got Ron Paul to run for president a few years back in the first place? Haven't they both been saying that fiat currency is garbage and to end the fed for years and years? Right now, I think we are seeing conspiracy-minded anti-NWO and anti-Fed libertarianism (Mises Institute, Alex Jones) win out over corporate funded, pro-central bank D.C. thinktank 'libertarianism' (Reason, CATO), and that is a very positive development in my opinion. Why should Ron and Rand not go on Alex Jones' show when he's been their greatest and most loyal ally in the media since day one? The mainstream attack machine doesn't work anymore, and they'd find other garbage to try and assassinate Ron and Rand regardless of whether they go on a radio show anyway.

It was the excuse Beck used to blindside Medina about truthers, as if ALL AJ's guests should be expected to be truthers. She stumbled over it, not because she is a truther (which she isn't) but because she didn't want to insult supporters or condemn free thought and speech. But her meteoric rise cratered at precisely that point.

However, I'm confident Rand would have an answer more ready to hand. Not everyone who goes on AJ's show in good faith to give their message a chance to get out would be prepared for the kind of poison their OPONENTS inject.

I'm not advocating dumping AJ at all. I agree he and his audience work hard for liberty candidates and deserve respect for that, even if I don't agree with all of AJs views (nor know them all, frankly.) I respect a lot of people I disagree with on specific areas. I do not believe in forcibly marginalizing people who work on your behalf (nasty.)

Moreover, the way I am made, I respected Ron MORE when he refused to pander and distance himself from PEOPLE just because they had different beliefs on some subjects. He would explain his OWN position, but wouldn't condemn others for thinking differently. Those are the actions of someone who truly believes in freedom of speech and thought, and, in the case of 9/11, in transparency of government.

But not everyone analyses things the way I do, and some do scuttle away, frightened, if it is pretended they are associating with nasty people. The constant charges of 'racist' are about the same.

Actually her rise cratered when she took the bait and went ahead and insulted her supporters on another show by calling them "despicable". At that truthers and not truthers saw her as unprincipled. I'm not blaming her for what she did. She was trying to fix a campaign that was more in trouble based on perception than on reality. Her answer should have been consistent. "I've never taken a position on that. I have no reason to believe that's true. But I don't believe in thought police either. This country stands for freedom of thought and speech and if you don't like that move to Russia."

However, I'm confident Rand would have an answer more ready to hand. Not everyone who goes on AJ's show in good faith to give their message a chance to get out would be prepared for the kind of poison their OPONENTS inject.

Rand made his share of verbal slip ups too. He just didn't implode again on the intervening interviews. And he learned to go on the offensive against those attacking him.

I agree.
