Alex Jones admits he's only joking & should not be taken seriously

Even if he were serious he would still be a joke
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.

I've always seen him as a character. His show never fails to make me laugh.

I file Rush Limbaugh in the same category -- a buffoon playing to his audience's weaknesses.

One of my brothers was watching Rush Limbaugh when I came to visit (years ago), and I heard Rush talking about "...Obama's totalitarian regime...". Crazy stuff, and people eat it up.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

As far as I know, my Dad isn't a fan of either, but he ate up all of the "Obama wants to take all your guns away" rhetoric. You would think his education would provide some prophylaxis from this kind of bullshit, but as Dad earned a Ph.D in marine biology, perhaps not. It appears to me that there's a demographic that's just prone to paranoia (I'm using "paranoia" in a colloquial sense, not clinical).

One time driving to work and listening to Limbaugh's show, I heard him assert that marine vegetation worsened global warming because they "released greenhouse gases" in respiration.

I about lost my liver laughing so hard.

If you're dumb enough to give your money to Alex Jones... um... yea... your fault.
“Love is the only bow on Life’s dark cloud. It is the morning and the evening star. It shines upon the babe, and sheds its radiance on the quiet tomb. It is the mother of art, inspirer of poet, patriot and philosopher.

It is the air and light of every heart – builder of every home, kindler of every fire on every hearth. It was the first to dream of immortality. It fills the world with melody – for music is the voice of love.

Love is the magician, the enchanter, that changes worthless things to Joy, and makes royal kings and queens of common clay. It is the perfume of that wondrous flower, the heart, and without that sacred passion, that divine swoon, we are less than beasts; but with it, earth is heaven, and we are gods.” - Robert. G. Ingersoll

There is research that shows that conservatives have a stronger fear reaction than liberals. This has actually been known for quite awhile.
https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/the...tudy-finds

In itself, this is neither a positive nor a negative as sometimes it may be bad NOT to be fearful.

However, think about what this means if you want to manipulate a large group of people. Seriously give this some thought. 
The right wing politicians and the right wing media absolutely rely on this psychological difference in order to stoke fears with nonsense like that spewed out by Jones, Limbaugh, Fox news, etc... knowing that the fearful don't have any natural defenses against this kind of fear mongering. 

It's an easy strategy for the cons to follow and it surely is getting the results they want.
If god was real he wouldn't need middle men to explain his wants or do his bidding.

While ignorance is often willful, rarely is stupidity. It's pretty closed-minded of you to blame the victim for being stupid.
