In his defense, if their weren't people so willing to eat up the crap he peddles, he wouldn't be relevant. He simply sells to the crazies what they want to hear.

I agree he should be ignored, but those who benefit the most from his message are those who need that little extra nudge to go over the top.

Those people are too deep into their hatred, you will never be able to de-program them.

Alex Jones is all hot air and would probably jump a mile at the first bump in the dark.

Maybe we should use those words to describe some of the RW radio/tv shows because it sounds nasty. Label the Rush Limbaughs, Jones, Hannity, Coulter, et al., and make the public aware of what they are doing. Of course, that would titilate those who are waiting in the arena for the lions to arrive for the big battle, but it might open others' eyes.

Stochastic terrorism. I like that nasty term. Thank you!

Talking heads seem loathe to use the "terrorism" term, no matter how apropos.

I thought this was the first time they clashed on air. But after a brief search of Youtube, I found several encounters; a year ago, 3 years ago. Didn't see this week's.
Thom must need the ratings, because I'm sure he don't the headache!

I admire his ability to share "conversations" with such a-holes without losing it.

Bill Maher lets his guests scream over each other. Ticks me off.

I can't watch those crazies and I can't listen to hate radio. Never ever ever.
