Alex Jones says that homosexuals are created by the government...



Can we PLEASE stop with the Alex Jones threads now?

I do not care *HOW* relevant to current events Alex Jones is; he's a fucking lunatic that does not deserve to see the light of day on Democratic Underground with thoughts as presented above.

Period.

Enough already.

Especially posting the somewhat bigoted stuff too...

I'd love it if we could all stop ourselves.

That's pretty far out...

But not as far out as my theory...

Alex Jones was created by the government!

C'mon

Alex Jones is full of shit. He's only a threat to the minds and pocketbooks of his listeners. If his "enemies" rewally existed, they'd be doing everything they could to keep him alive and ranting.

Beck, Palin and Limbaugh, as foul as they are, aren't even in the same league of crazy as Jones. The others are mainly just grifters. Jones really drinks his own koolaid.

The essence of a good CT, a grain of truth. This is what irritates medical professionals, a little bit of knowledge. Simple people want to make complex issues simple so here comes Alex Jones.

it's the people who hang on their every insane utterance as if it had been brought down from the mountain, inscribed on stone tablets.

And, I guess, people like us who love to deride and ridicule and be outraged by everything they do.

These are the people standing on a streetcorner, raging to the heavens, that everyone used to pass by and think to themselves "there, but for the grace of God..." Left to their own devices, they'd be sitting in a corner playing with their own poo within a month.

for years, then he grew up.

He used to rant and rave about how alex was right about this and that. Until one day, I couldn't take it anymore and I explained to him, in a nice way, about how I had worked in the same access station as jones and that he was basically a full of shit grifter nut.

Once he understood what a grifter was he got quiet, but didn't respond.

It's been a few years now and he hasn't mentioned him again.

I'm stating a position and using an example.

A damn fine example of why AJ should be confined to the DU blacklist.
