23. Infowars is newly linked to the page. It appears someone edited the page to smear Democrats.

Here's the video when he showed up at the Occupy event and the guy filming is likely a Paulie, makes Ready look quite sane. He doesn't look like a killer but with radical groups. Here he is in better days:



Unless he takes his link down, Alex Jones is being associated with a member of the Nazi party. He's had the head of the John Birch Society on his show. Which turns out to be a creation of the Koch family, so that makes Infowars = Disinformation?

But his followers are definitely NOT Democrats, but members of the Tea Party and support Ron Paul.

Apparently the Wiki page was edited by someone as a smear against Democrats like the one made about the man who shot Giffords, also not a Democrat. But it's been edited out again. Ready was GOP and a member of the Nazi Party.

Did he know these people he killed? southernyankeebelle May 2012 #1
