Poll question: What is your opinion of Alex Jones (www.infowars.com)? |
|
I ask that you not answer the poll if you have never heard of Alex Jones.

1. I voted for the second one... |
|
But he too often comes down on the side of Bull Goose Looney. It's like he made a conscious decision to pick up the hoary mantle of "Uncle Miltie" Cooper, as truly an insane person as has ever walked the earth.
I sure do wish I had saved some of Cooper's drunken postings on alt.conspiracy and Fidonet before that.
HuhBoyee. Phew.

3. Since he first made the scene I've thought I'd not buy him |
|
but I do.
His absolute candor cuts a lot of ice with me, even when he's skating the thinnest of it.

5. In some ways he's a disservice to his cause |
|
Edited on Tue Nov-30-04 08:38 PM by lightbulb
If he would just calm down a bit and keep the buzzwords and fanfare to a minimum he'd have much more credibility. He often makes valid ideas look like the ravings of a lunatic. And he's got some serious paranoid right-wing leanings. Still, I voted for number 2.

7. The reason people think Alex Jones is crazy is because laughter |
|
helps to swallow the kool-aid,if he's crazy then it can't be true.I think the reason he gets so worked up is because no matter how obviously scary things get, the majority of people want to stay asleep.After all its only evil he's fighting against,it's not like it's satan himself.

8. So when is telling the truth considered "nutty"? |
|
Here's one guy who dares to expose the soft underbelly of the New World Order.
If you people had any gumption at all you'd march on Bohemian Grove en masse when they gather there for their annual meeting...

9. Prisonplanet.com is one of my favorite webbies |
|
I agree with most of what he says. The repugs and dems and the media work together and take their orders from the unseen rulers of the world and none of them give a damn about america.

12. I voted for absolutely and completely nuts |
|
But only because "He's a hyper-paraniod insane conspiracy-theory mongering lunatic loudmouthed idiotic absolutely and completely nuts pompous bullying asshole" wasn't a choice.
He gives the black helicopter militia tinfoil hat crowd a bad name.

13. i can't say we have the same aims entirely |
|
and I can't say that his showmanship appeals to me (i think a calmer facade would get more accomplished) and I know that he thinks that I am part of the vast satanic conspiracy because I'm a flaming dyke.
But when he's right he's right.
It's frightening that I trust AJ more than CNN.
