Infowars founder Alex Jones and longtime Trump associate Roger Stone made an appearance outside Google CEO Sundar Pichai's hearing before the House Judiciary committee today.

Jones, a far-right conspiracy theorist who's accused the nation's leading tech companies of anti-conservative bias, railed against Google for "censorship" in the halls of Congress minutes before the meeting began.

"Sundar and Google are absolutely the most horrible corporation on earth," Jones said.

Jones was flanked by Roger Stone, the longtime associate to President Donald Trump.

1. Oh poor, misguided Alex. Conservatives aren't getting censored becuase they're conservative.

They're getting censored because they're hateful assholes! Don't want to get censored? Don't post hateful shit! See platforms like Google have this thing called a "terms of service agreement" that you probably didn't read. And if you did read it you would know they have a rule against being hateful. So, easy solution - stop being hateful!

2. Agreed, the companies are not censoring conservatives rather they are simply

censoring out the assholes that most of the nation cannot stand.

4. Yup, hate content definitely favors conservatism.

Racism, sexism, misogyny, xenophobia, homophobia, transphobia - all of that generally tends to bring out the worst in humanity. And those people almost always have conservative viewpoints.

9. Everyone has a different definition though of what conservative means though I

will agree that by appearances the majority of Repugnants have embraced the definition as you have described it.

8. And Alex Jones is NOT a conservative

He is a radical fringe nut-job. Jones along with many republicans have hijacked the term conservative, but the only part of conservative that applies to them is "cons".

10. Never buy hair-regenerating supplements from a balding man

One of the many whack-job remedies he sells (sold? I haven't been there for years) on his site.

11. There's also Alpha Power

"Vital Male Androgen Biosynthesis Promoter" or the ever popular Super Male Vitality Dietary supplement! Seems to be targeting a certain demographic, doesn't he?

3. More to the point...

If conservatives can afford newspapers and TV channels and think tanks and advocacy groups, why can't they set up their own online community where they can safely live in their pro-Trump bubble?

7. They already have

Think of it this way: when someone goes to YouTube they see a list of recommended videos. RW types want their videos to be in that list, and being just on their own websites won’t do that.

12. I thought they already had at least one

13. Clearly they're not investing in that platform either...

5. They can hang out on their own carefully curated web sites but...

...the moment they wander off the reservation they're confronted with a lot of irritating facts. How do you maintain a cult these days with all that reality flying around, free for the taking?
