Who is crazier? Glenn Beck or Alex Jones
They both seems to spew the same crap and act like they are trying to save us from either globalists or communists.

They both seem to like to capitalize off the fear that they spread to their audiences.

They both consider themselves patriots for exposing the so called truths and conspiracies that they talk about on a daily basis while twisting facts and articles to suit their agenda.

1. Crazier, probably Alex because he actually believes
his conspiracy theories (though he may actually have gotten some of it right). Beck is just an asshole profiting off the ignorance of others.

2. Definitely Glenn BecKKK
He wouldn't have the balls to do a joint broadcast with Thom Hartmann or Mike Malloy.

6. I heard that simul-cast with Thom Hartmann. Thom peeled Jones like
a bananna. But what's funny and crazy about Jones is that Thom took him apart without Alex even seeming to realize it :D. Also, Jones has no qualms about going live on Russian or Iranian TV and castagating those whom he targets.

4. Man, that's a tough one. I actually used to listen to Beck regularly on
the radio. Not because I liked him but because when he was sounding crazy to me, he really, REALLY sounded crazy. I listen to Alex Jones quite often because even though he's batshit crazy, he sometimes gets it right but, more importantly, it's fun to mock and make fun of him when he's wrong, like about Global Warming or Peak Oil. Jones is also surprisingly fair politically, though many will express dismay over his Obama Deception film, which I have admittedly yet to watch. Beck, on the other hand, is a corporate shoe-shining tool.

5. Alex Jones knows something is wrong. He just blames the wrong people.

Glenn Beck on the other hand, loves the status quo and automatically opposes any attempts to change it.

11. I think Jones is smart enough to realize he is exaggerating . . .
. . . and yet he still does it. What he wants is to be a Messiah to the conspiratorial Right. Glenn Beck is quite stupid and may actually believe everything he is saying. So he's probably less mentally healthy. Alex Jones, when (not if) he gets a nationally distributed radio or TV show, will be much more dangerous.

14. Its professional wresting vs. Olympic doping.
One of them knows their putting forth entertainment and runs with it, one of them claims to be the real deal, while hiding deceptions.

16. Glenn Beck is so fucking around-the-bend-insane that he's lapped himself.
Hope that doesn't make him cry.

18. Jones is a shameless corporate whore
who sells faux-subversion and revolution for a quick buck.

He had no problem cozying up to FOX News and Beck, who used to demonize him, earlier this year.

He's now a welcome guest on Rupert Murdoch's network.
