Alex JONES. Words fail (me. Not him.)

If this is late and has already been posted, excusez moi. I won't use psychiatric terms as a wrong vehicle to attempt to demean him. How about "jerk" and "asshole" and the shame on a whole state (Texas). In the third video, where he typically for a wingnut blowhard dissolves into self-pity and victimhood, I hope somebody can do a screenshot of his face contorted into disgusting hatred, the face that must have been shown by the KKK to countless minority members.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Jones_(radio_host)

Alexander Emerick "Alex" Jones (born February 11, 1974) is an American talk radio host, actor and filmmaker. His syndicated news/talk show The Alex Jones Show, based in Austin, Texas, airs via the Genesis Communication Network over more than 70 AM, FM, and shortwave radio stations across the United States[2] and on the Internet. His websites include Infowars.com and PrisonPlanet.com. ....

Reception
Mainstream sources have described Jones as a conservative[4][5][6][7] and as a right-wing conspiracy theorist.[8][9][10][11] The Southern Poverty Law Center Intelligence Files assert that he has "exploit[ed] racial animosities" to "appeal to the fears of the antigovernment Patriot movement."[25] Jones sees himself as a libertarian, and rejects being described as a right-winger.[12] He has also called himself a paleoconservative[13] and an "aggressive constitutionalist".[14][15] Jones has been the center of many controversies, and has accused the US government of being involved in the Oklahoma City bombing[16] and September 11 attacks.[17]

Works
Jones has directed and produced a number of videos detailing his theories of a "New World Order" and his concerns that U.S. national sovereignty and constitutional rights have both been eroded as a result. They also address his views concerning the misuse of government power, corporate deception and collusion between disparate power structures

[font size=5]‘1776 Will Commence Again If You Try to Take Our Firearms!’: Watch Alex Jones Lose His Mind on Piers Morgan’s Show[/font]

Hours after he was arrested for refusing to take off his shoes at a TSA checkpoint, Alex Jones lost his damn mind during an interview with Piers Morgan on Monday night. Jones, the conspiracy mad radio host who helped start the petition to have Morgan deported for his gun control advocacy, said all sorts of amazing insane stuff — it definitely merits watching in full — but here are some highlights.

When Morgan asked about the relatively low level of gun-related violence in Britain, Jones barely let him finish before launching into a bizarre rant that somehow managed to include references to Mao, Castro, Stalin and the recent gang rape in India.

“Britain took the guns 15, 16 years ago. Tripling of your overall violent crime. True, we have a higher gun violence level, but overall, muggings, stabbing, deaths — those men raped that woman to India to death with an iron rod 4 feet long. You can't ban the iron rods. The guns, the iron rods, Piers, didn't do it, the tyrants did it. Hitler took the guns Stalin took the guns, Mao took the guns, Fidel Castro took the guns, Hugo Chavez took the guns, and I'm here to tell you, 1776 will commence again if you try to take our firearms! It doesn't matter how many lemmings you get out there in the street begging for them to have their guns taken. We will not relinquish them. Do you understand?”

Jones then went on to insult Morgan's reputation, challenging him to a Chris Jones-esque fight.

“Why did you get fired from the Daily Mirror for putting out fake stories? You're a hatchet man of the New World Order. You're a hatchet man! And I'm going to say this here, you think you're a tough guy? Have me back with a boxing ring and I'll wear red, white, and blue, and you'll wear your Jolly Roger.”

Here's part two of the exchange:

[font size=5]Fresh Off Completely Sane Piers Morgan Interview, Alex Jones Says Mayor Bloomberg is Sending Crackheads to Kill Him for Speaking Truth to Mafia[/font]

Neetzan Zimmerman

If not for his tin-foil political views than at least for the breakneck speed with which he can spin a web of conspiracy so thick with heavy-breathed paranoia it makes Robert Ludlum look like a historian.

Just one hour after filming his instantly infamous interview with CNN's Piers Morgan, Jones was on his YouTube channel claiming the "panicked" producers pulled the plug early and kicked him out with tears in their eyes, and he was now scared for his life because Mayor Bloomberg had sent undercover cops dressed as crackheads to kill him and his crew.

"The way this'll work is, 'oh, see here they were protesting gun grabs and some crack dealers shot them,'" Jones told his 344k subscribers. "If something happens to us, we're killed by crackheads, it was the NYPD or the mafia [Bloomberg] hired."

Hey, it's not paranoia if the Bloomberg mafia's army of crackhead cops is really after you.

RENDELL: "The NRA's power is vastly overrated. 74% of reasonable NRA members agree that nobody should be able to get a gun without a background check."

(eventually changed the channel, it got too annoying)

He's always been a nut, but I've never seen Jones quite as unhinged before. Is he really this crazy? It kinda made me think that it might be an act. But I really don't know. He has a loooong track record. I've only watched him infrequently.
