If you ever had any doubt that Alex Jones was a thug, a bully and a jackass, events this week in Denver ought to lay those doubts to rest.
It all started with a protest put together by the anarcho-hippies of Recreate68 and some of their allies. They planned to go to the Denver mint to hold a nonviolent protest in which they were apparently planning to use their positive psychic energy to levitate and ultimately destroy the mint in a protest against global capitalism. As they had hoped, this protest attracted some attention. A number of right-wing bloggers were there to film and scoff at the hippies, including prominent editorialist and blogger Michelle Malkin and Steve Green AKA Vodka Pundit who was acting as a reporter for Pajamas Media and who we have to thank for the best of the various videos to come out of this fracas.
Of course, since the protest was at the Denver mint, it was almost inevitable that Alex Jones would be there with some of his supporters, what with the mint being part of the power structure of the diabolical New World Order and the Zionist bankers who control it, or something silly like that. As quickly became clear, there's not much love lost between Alex Jones and Michelle Malkin. He's convinced that she's going to round up every conspiracy nut and Pakistani convenience store clerk in the country and put them in (nonexistent) FEMA death camps while torturing Iraqi babies and whoring herself to the Gnomes of Zurich at the same time - she can multitask. She seems equally convinced that he's an irritating blowhard who she's too short to shoot pictures over. Well, a picture speaks a thousand words and a video speaks about a million - or in this case shouts them - so see the accompanying clip for what I'm talking about.

That's a strong video: well shot and produced.
Alex Jones richly deserves the epithet of thug; Fascist fits him pretty well, too.
3 - Lumpy
Apparently Jones is only for free speech when he approves it and doesn't mind using terror tactics to silence those he doesn't like. He's no gentleman either.
4 - Andy Marsh
It's really hard to say anything but WOW! to this video. What a nice guy!
5 - Christopher Rose
Dave, whilst not being a fan of either Malkin or Jones, I'm equally unimpressed by your own attempts to make this out to be more than it was...
Andy, will you be handing your title as the Ugliest American over to Jones?
6 - Dave Nalle
I tried to keep the overall tone of the article relatively light, Christopher. Certainly this isn't worldshaking news, but I think it provides insight into the character of this person who has a great many very vocal followers. I'd do the same (and have) with the antics of leaders of the BNP.

CR - I don't think ugly adequately describes Mr. Jones!

Dave,
You are terribly misinformed writer who chooses to take a stance rather than review the facts and engage in resoponsible journalism. Jones confronted this monstrosity with the passion of an Andrew Jackson confronting the foreign bankers. Yeah, he was loud and he was MAD! But that trash deserved no less. Now the allegation of him calling for violence is absolutely false. Video footage supports this. The crowd you hear chanting were not part of Jones' group at all. Your other article about Georgia truley shows how ignorant you are of the facts. Georgia ATTACKED S. Ossetia peace keepers and tried to ethnically cleanse the region. They killed innocent women and children. S. Ossetia doesn't want to be part of the American client state and puppet regime of Georgia. Georgia attacked first and Russia went in to defend S. Ossetia. These are facts you choose to ignore. If you are looking to be a true journalist, you need to INVESTIGATE rather than REGURGITATE!

I'm no fan of Michelle Malkin either, but there was no mistaking a very real panicked look on her face when interviewed about it later.
10 - LOL
Wow,
What a slanted article. Misinformation. Cute.
11 - Jordan Richardson
Did something happen to the clip? I can't see it.
12 - Bev Reiswig,
I cannot see the video!
13 - Bob Dobbs
Let me get this straight, Michelle Malkin is the one advocating Nazi style detention camps in the US, and Alex Jones is the thug for calling her on it?
You my friend, are the jackass.

A little background on Michelle Malkin. Michelle was nothing like this when she went to Oberlin College. As a matter of fact, her earlier writings portray her as more left leaning (not a compliment) and open minded (a compliment). But then she met Jesse Malkin (her hubby) and that's when she turned to "THE DARKSIDE". Jesse is the ULTIMATE NEO-CON and the voice behind Michelle's rhetoric. Jesse is from the RAND CORPORATION, the infamous think tank of the military-industrial complex. Jesse hates the limelight and is aledged to have slapped down a female photographer who was merely trying to photograph him. I guess he has a social anxiety disorder. Anyway, that's where Michelle comes in. She is the face behind the man and the spokesmdel for his agenda. I guess you'd call her a journalistic STEPFORD WIFE.

You are funny Davey boy. A typical hate filled article by you. Poor lil Michelle, awww.
You are obviously obsessed by Alex, and I do get a kick out of your numerous attempts to paint his as a bad guy. You have even gone so far as to copy his website and call it idiotwars, I call that obsession! hehehe
Anyone who calls for internment of american citizens for their political beliefs, endorses torture as an interrogation technique, and writes a book on how the illegal detention of american citizens of Japanese dissent was justified, should be hounded wherever they go. Should Malkin be unlucky enough to get within 30 meters of me, I will make Alex look tame bubba.
Of all the political machinations going on, and there are lots of them, it is amazing to me how you choose so many stories on Alex, and attempt at every moment to denigrate and smear him. A typical example of your smearing is the video that you showed in your previous article about him, from some obviously deranged individual emulating Hitler. You as usual only show your own prejudice and hate bubba.
Just my two sense worth.
16 - Pablo
Oh yeah Davey boy, I see you also plugged her book here. Hahahaha.
Yer funny dude.
17 - WhatATotalCrock
Ha! This is the pinnacle of hypocrisy!
We're whining about Michelle Malkin being shouted at and berated for her views when she spent years on the other end of the stick serving as the pitbull terrier of Bill O'Reilly? The same Bill O'Reilly who gas bags, lies and shouts at his guests all the time!
What a load of bull!
BTW - It's been proven on video that Alex Jones never said "kill Michelle Malkin". It was the stooges wearing jester hats and acting like buffoons that were actually associated with Malkin that were saying this to blow the confrontation out of all proportion.
18 - Dave Nalle
The video just takes a little while to load - it's the nature of YouTube, I'm afraid.
And hey, Infowars Zombies. Could you be more predictable or less objective? Pablo, you're the worst of the lot.
Watch the video. Remember these are fucking human beings, or at least some of them are - Jones I'm not so sure about. Have some empathy.

Michelle is a TRAITOR who advocates the coverup and murder of 3,000 Americans by domestic enemies residing in the Bush Administration. She also advocates prison camps for Americans. What kind of scumbag would CARE for Michelle at all? Certainly not an American. I think Michelle set this up as a trap for Alex and he was smart enough not to take the bait. Alex is the good guy in this. He's not the one supporting a traitor.
20 - Pablo
Oh Davey I almost forgot. The photographer for Malkin in the midst of the altercation went over to the Denver police and filed a false police report, saying that Jones was saying "kill Michelle Malkin", how utterly surprising that you did not include this in your smear. Here is the link
Malkin photographer lies to Police
I also noticed how you attempt to link Alex with the dumbass mickey mouse levitation of the mint, and the Recreate68 folks. Alex has been talking for MONTHS about these people and how they are agent provacateurs.
Your overt bias, and smearing will only work with your minions such as Clavy and his ilk, you twist, lie by ommission, and smear, with every breath you take bubba.
21 - Pablo
Oh here is a quote from Geraldo Rivera, whom I cannot stand either, but the quote is revealing.
"Geraldo Rivera:
“Michelle Malkin is the most vile, hateful commentator I’ve ever met in my life. She actually believes that neighbors should start snitching out neighbors, and we should be deporting people. It’s good she’s in D.C. and I’m in NY. I’d spit on her if I saw her.”
Poor lil Michelle, awww, such a tiny innocent lil angel. awwww
22 - Dave Nalle
Oh, and Pablo. Of 500+ articles in a couple of years this is the only one I ever wrote which was essentially about Jones and his behavior.
And I have to say that the comments here are a great monument to the blind and self-righteous fanaticism which I have noted previously in Jones' followers - and that I have written about before.

Re#20. Pablo. I have to ask. Are you functionally illiterate or did you just not read the article as usual?
Dave
24 - Pablo
Dave says
"Pablo, you're the worst of the lot."
Coming from you Davey boy I wear that with my tin foil hat, and consider it a supreme success that you would characterize me that way, I am proud that you think that. I am just getting started with you bucko, and I will not be going away in the near future. I look forward to exposing you for what you are, a fascist pretending to be a libertarian, that goes for your brother in arms Barger too.
Keep smiling Davey, cuz I love how you show your true face occasionally, as in this hit piece bubba.

Is this Malkin chick the same shithead that thought Rachael Ray was wearing a "a jihadi chic keffiyeh" on a fucking Dunkin Donuts ad?
