Infowars is home to Alex Jones, a blowhard conspiracy theorist crackpot who fits in perfectly with the blowhard anti-government crackpots who dominate the extreme right wing of American politics, including extreme right wing Senators like Rand Paul. In an effort to sure up their shrinking base Republicans have made a decided effort to not dampen the spirits of anyone who is angry, not since McCain corrected a woman in 08 who thought that Obama was a Muslim, since then there has been zero effort to reign in the rantings of angry people saying crazy shit at Republican gatherings and townhalls. Of course, it helps when mainstream right wing hacks like Drudge help circulate flat out crazy conspiracy theorists like Alex Jones and Glenn Beck. Over and over we have seen conspiracy theorist republicans asking their GOP politicians about the conspiracy theories they fear, either regurgitating McCarthyistic dog whistles by Bachmann, Allan West and other crackpots over things like conspiracies about secret muslims taking over the government, FEMA camps, looming hyper-inflation, dead voters led by ACORN, Obama's birth certificates, death panels and other paranoid nonsense with no basis in reality, over and over the GOP politicians nod and say "yes", never once will the GOP politicians stand up and correct misinformed voters if they blame the guvmint. Every death panel is imminent, every black helicopter is right behind those trees over there.



They actually made this book

Hell, Dick Morris has a new book called "Here comes the Black Helicopters: UN Global Governance and the Loss of Freedom" Are you freaking kidding me? If you think the UN is going to take over the United States of America you are a fucking nitwit, the UN can hardly takeover a Disney Cruise ship. These are the pants on fire true believers, every death panel is true, every lie is swallowed, these are the most gullible assholes in America and they are ALWAYS WRONG.

Alex Jones is a crackpot. Dick Morris is a crackpot. There really isn't much difference between these two. I live in a reality based world. Going on the Alex Jones show de-legitimizes you as far as I am concerned, and he is only one step down from Fox News and Drudge and Rush Limbaugh. Glenn Beck is the bottom. These are the lying conspiracy theorists, the hyperventilating pants wetters, the demagogues and snake-oil salesman driving a rabid and conspiratorial niche viewer into buying more hate, more fear, more bullshit, and they are now not just a significant part of the GOP base, these assholes are the GOP base. Sucks to be you, Republicans. This is what you get for taking 30 years of totally false bullshit and worshipping it as a strawman idol called RayGun. This is what you get for pandering to the fears of the ignorant and prejudiced. The Conspiracy Theorists within the GOP are winning, the GOP Senate Candidate in Texas is a homophobic conspiracy theorist, Rand Paul thinks the National Weather Service is out to start a civil war, between some of the nutjobs in the Republican House of Representatives there is no one capable of actually governing America but combined they have just enough yokels for a dangerous cult. And that is all the GOP has become, a cult, watching Fox everyday, listening to Rush, reading Drudge, a cult based on who you hate and who your favorite rightwing pundit is. At this point the conspiracy theorists are winning. We couldn't do shit to stop global warming even if it is going to cause our extinction because the anti-fact conspiracy theorists think the UN is going to takeover the Department of Wildlife Preservation or some stupid nonsense, we can't reform anything anymore without it being labelled a death panel or a secret government takeovah, we are being trolled to a standstill by liars and idiots, and that isn't just tragic for the once proud GOP, it is a tragedy for America.

Congratulations, Republicans, and particularly GOP Senator Rand Paul, once again you have sunk America's Senate to a new low. Just when I though the GOP couldn't better embody gullible foolishness, you go and prove me wrong yet again, GOP . . .

Remember, this is the idiot who said that just because a few Supreme Court justices declared something Constitutional that doesn't make it so.

If the stupid does burn, this is a record wildfire.

This is your modern Republican Party. A pack of liars, charlatans and know-nothings who rally around a loosely connected pack of anti-government pundits and conspiracy theories, otherwise known as the Tea Party.

I award you no points, Rand Paul. We are all slightly dumber just for hearing you.
