(This is awesome!) Conan O’Brien shows what you didn’t see in Alex Jones’ crazypants CNN interview

Tuesday night on TBS’s “Conan,” host Conan O’Brien showed a snippet of the now-notorious Piers Morgan interview with gun-lover and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones of InfoWars.com. Somehow, the fact that Jones was brandishing and firing a loaded pistol for emphasis didn’t make it into most newscasts.

Morgan, for his part, stayed remarkably cool “under fire.”

I want the suburban moderate Republican woman who has always been lukewarm or indifferent about these fucking gun nut fuckwads to really fucking despise them, and watching that dumbshit gun nut act like a crazy person on teevee does just that.

Morgan absolutely sliced and diced him by just letting him go on and on like the gun nut fanatic he is. These people simply cannot be in charge of public safety policy. They are fanatical, exactly like Alex Jones. Yes, all of them. Some of them just mask it better at times, but Morgan revealed the essence of every gun fanatic in America.

11. Yeah, even Jones wouldn't be firing a gun multiple times while waving it around

John Bolton, maybe, but not Alex Jones.

There have been plenty of people killed or injured because they mistakenly assumed that "blank" meant "harmless".

But, of course, it's irrelevant here since the gun was CGI-pasted into his hand.

10. Alex Jones is a good example of why not everyone should have a gun.

He obviously has anger problems, and came across as very unstable in the interview. It's not comforting knowing there are more like him out there.

Alex is a picture book example of an unstable character who should not only have all his gun removed but should be sporting one of those skin tight white jackets with the extra long sleeves.
