Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones slammed conservative personality Glenn Beck on Monday, attacking his supposed libertarian credentials.
Glenn Beck is despicable, Jones told The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur. He has five guys watching everything I do, taking my news articles. Listen, four or five year ago he wouldnt talk about any of this stuff. Now he takes it but spins it in a neocon way, and Im sick and tired of him. Hes a punk. He called me a fascist. This is a guy who made jokes about torture and said it was a great thing. This is a guy who supports drones. This is a guy that supports the PATRIOT Act.
On his radio show last week, Beck claimed Jones was not a conservative and also said Jones was being used by the media to push for more restrictions on firearms. Becks comments came after an eccentric interview between Jones and CNNs Piers Morgan.
Im a constitutional libertarian who loves freedom, and my views are my own, and that little piece of trash needs to know this, Jones continued. You jackass mainline conservatives dont speak for me. Youre the ones that have discredited true conservatism and libertarianism. Thomas Jefferson would spit on you, you little bastard, you little piece of trash. Thats what I have to say to Glenn Beck. Im sick of him.

(2,086 posts)it's not hard to take one slightly paunchy old white guy, add another slightly paunchy old white guy, and have the result be a slightly paunchy old white guy.
Of course, nearly all Republicans are slightly paunchy old white guys. The party seem to have cornered the market on them.

I will agree with Alex Jones that Glenn Beck is a sadistic asshole who enjoys torture.
During Occupy he kept watching the video of the protesters getting pepper spray in their eyes and sprayed down their throats...and just laughing and laughing.
He actually said "I could watch that video all day, it was hilarious" What a fucking psycho, and I don't think he cares about the Constitution if that is what he thinks of people peacefully expressing dissent.

(31,706 posts)Jones is trying to make his play to be the next great hate radio star...he's going after his competition in hopes of syphoning away listeners from Dreck and the other hate merchants. He's also making a play to get on more stations that means more $$$. The broadcast industry blogs are full of ads for his show...trying to strike while the iron is hot.
Hate radio is going through a lot of downscaling and changes these days. The fall out of last year's election was these stations are losing listeners and advertisers. The hopes are shitstains like Jones will "rejuvenate" the dying medium. The fun here is to see the upcoming pissing matches between the "heavyweights" (literally) of the genre as they try to stay relevant on a medium that is dying.
