Alex Jones calling for violence against libs

[oleDirtyBast4rd]

SPOILER ALERT: I don't even care if the Russia thing is bogus (it isn't as a proven by Junior's emails) so long as it takes trump down it could be fake for all I give a fuck

At 1st I thought you were trolling, but now I just think you're very VERY salty

Not sure why there hasn't been a thread posted about this, considering every radical right wing extremist in the WR claiming that Libs are violent.

Sorry libs. It looks like Alex Jones wants you dead.

Would you go to war against your fellow Americans to show your support for President Donald Trump? For the last several months, that’s exactly what broadcaster Alex Jones—a favorite of the president—has been calling for.

In his radio show, on YouTube and on his Infowars website, Jones—who never met a conspiracy theory he didn’t like and who has pushed the notion that Sandy Hook was faked—has been announcing that the United States is on the verge of a bloody second civil war. Like the radio DJs in Rwanda, Jones has been egging on his conservative listeners and viewers—an estimated 2.7 million people monthly—to kill more liberal fellow citizens over their political differences.

Jones is hardly alone in promoting this scary, emerging narrative on the right. The theme gained momentum after the shooting at the congressional baseball game last month. The day before the attack, on June 13, right wing broadcaster Michael Savage, host of syndicated show The Savage Nation, warned that “there’s going to be a civil war” because of “what this left-wing is becoming in this country.” After the baseball field shooting the next day, he said that he “knows what’s coming, and it’s going to get worse.” Savage also said of the shooting that “this blood is on [Democrats’] hands.”

After the shooting, Newt Gingrich opined on Fox that “we are in a clear-cut cultural civil war.” Former GOP speechwriter Pat Buchanan wrote that the appointment of a special prosecutor and political street clashes presage a “deep state media coup” and that the nation is “approaching something of a civil war,” and it’s time for Trump to “burn down the Bastille.”

But few commentators can match the relentless hysteria and reach of Jones. His recent YouTube video titles telegraph the tone: “Get Ready For CIVIL WAR!” and “First Shots Fired in Second US Civil War! What Will You Do?” and “Will Trump Stop Democrats' Plan for Violent Civil War?”

Jones’s followers have already turned broadcaster words into violent action. Last year, Edgar Maddison Welch drove from North Carolina to Washington, D.C., to fire on a pizza restaurant Jones had been saying was a front for Democratic pedophiles and Satanists. Court records indicate he had been talking to his friends about Jones’s theories before he went on his mission. In 2014, a right-wing couple, self-described Infowars fans Jerad and Amanda Miller from Indiana, killed two police officers after posting screeds on Infowars. Jones later theorized that the shooting was a false flag intended to discredit the right.

Media Matters for America (MMA), a progressive research organization, has staff assigned to track Jones Infowars shows daily. According to spokesman Nate Evans, right-wing media has been advocating violence more since Trump was elected, but Jones “has been particularly crazy about it.”

Among the statements MMA has culled from his broadcasts in recent months are the following:

On June 23, he accused “the left” of starting civil war and offered to personally execute convicted traitors because, he said, “I’m not going to sit here and just call for stuff without actually being part of it.” In the same broadcast he said, “I don’t need some coming-of-age deal to kill a bunch of liberals,” but “we have to start getting ready for insurrection and civil war because they’re really pushing it.”

On June 15, he warned “you kick off Civil War 2, baby, you’ll think Lexington and Concord was a cakewalk.” The day before, he implicated himself and his listeners: “You’re trying to start a civil war with people. You’re taking our kindness for weakness. Do you understand the American people will kill all of you? You understand? We are killing machines, you fools.… But I can shoot bull’s-eye at 400 yards, dumbass. I mean, they have no idea who they’re messing with."

In a May 13 broadcast, he warned that "leftists want a war," so “cry havoc and let loose the dogs of war.”

Jones has also called for extrajudicially arresting former FBI DIrector James Comey and Hillary Clinton and has encouraged Trump to use the military against dissenters. "I'd support the president right now moving against these people physically,” he said in a June 13 broadcast. “I mean, let's be honest. We're in a war. I would support the president making a military move on them right now."

This is not the first time Jones has attracted attention by advocating violence against federal officials. In April, he let loose with a rant on California Democrat Adam Schiff, the ranking minority member of the House Intelligence Committee looking into Trump’s Russian connections. The profanity laced transcript was also homophobic and included an explicit threat of bodily harm.

“I’m not against gay people. OK. I love them, they’re great folks. But Schiff looks like the archetypal cocksucker with those little deer-in-the-headlight eyes and all his stuff,” Jones said. “And there’s something about this fairy, hopping around, bossing everybody around, trying to intimidate people like me and you, I want to tell Congressman Schiff and all the rest of them, ‘Hey, listen, asshole, quit saying Roger and I’—and I’ve never used cussing in 22 years, but the gloves are off—‘listen, you son of a bitch, what the fuck’s your problem? You want to sit here and say that I’m a goddamn, fucking Russian. You get in my face with that, I’ll beat your goddamn ass, you son of a bitch. You piece of shit. You fucking goddamn fucker. Listen, fuckhead, you have fucking crossed a line. Get that through your goddamn fucking head. Stop pushing your shit. You’re the people that have fucked this country over and gangraped the shit out of it and lost an election. So stop shooting your mouth off claiming I’m the enemy. You got that you goddamn son of a bitch? Fill your hand.’ I’m sorry, but I’m done. You start calling me a foreign agent, those are fucking fighting words. Excuse me.”

Tim Johnson, a Media Matters for America Research Fellow, who tracks Jones says that the civil war theme is a new one, and probably related to the fact that Barack Obama is no longer president, offering a clear, single enemy. “He needs something new, and so it’s that criticism of Trump equals civil war,” Johnson said.

An attorney with expertise in federal law told Newsweek at the time that Jones’s threats at Schiff appeared to break a federal law, U.S. Code Title 18, Section 115, which makes it illegal to threaten to assault a U.S. official and provides a penalty of up to six years in prison.

After Newsweek published that legal analysis, Jones publicly pulled back, and posted a video attempting to clarify his remarks as “clearly tongue-in-cheek and basically art performance.”

Federal officials are not known to have contacted him or looked into the matter.




He must've eaten too much chili before he went on that rant.

I don't listen to Alex Jones and the main reason I'm even aware of him is because of people like you clutching their pearls about him. But I've skimmed your article from liberal rag Newsweek and am unimpressed. Jones is a clown, but he's talking about self-defense. And as far as I can tell his followers are not going to left wing protests and assaulting people who are peacefully protesting. This is more left wing propaganda intended to slander people on the right. If anything it is fueling the more excitable members of your cadre who are in fact committing acts of violence against peaceful people in the name of opposing fascism.

Good to see you admitting that you don't care about facts or the truth, just power.

 

[Pale Man In Black]

Oh no!

 

[TheStruggle]

Didn't a Bernie Sanders supporter shoot to kill Republicans like a month ago?

 

[Devout Pessimist]

Liberal detected!

Alex Jones called the election for Trump from day 1, while Newsweek prematurely ran this issue:

Stay mad fake news

I don't know if I can spell it differently so that conservatives can read it, but I am not a lib. I'm as independent and rational as they come.

You radical right wing extremists need a better comeback lol. Nice spin too. You did what most radical right wing extremists do. You took what the subject was about, and then said it was about something totally unrelated.

Besides looking like a big toe, or rowdy roddy piper after drowning and floating for several days, this man is a fucking goof. Why is anyone surprised? I can't wait for the day when his "ultimate male formula" makes him keel over on the radio.

 

[P4p Islam]

I seriously just lold

Jesus I butchered this post. Your roddy piper comment made me lol

The support for Spence from the new left is both surprising and perplexing.

Sure, you are not a lib, just someone who promotes lib propaganda for no particular reason. And I responded to your post, not whatever crazy fantasy you left out of it.

Alex Jones can say things but republicans aren't out there destroying property in ski masks and whacking people with bicycle locks.

No.. they are just shooting up pizza parlours...

 

[kahiljabroni]

I didn't read every word he said but the idea is not that crazy. There is obviously the makings of a civil war going on here. The country is completely divided and one side is attempting a soft coup to overthrow a duly elected official. That's about 60 million, already disenfranchised Americans who are having their votes voided (if it works), by the left and the vengeful media.

The only reason a civil war seems unlikely is that apparently we are too civilized. We're too comfortable. Our bellies are too full.

At the very least we should dissolve this government and restart it anew. ..Unfortunately, we could never agree on what to replace it with because we are so divided

 

[PrinceOfPain]

No.. they are just shooting up pizza parlours...

Not good with numbers, are you?

 

[Seano]

No.. they are just shooting up pizza parlours...

Which example do you suppose is more common place, yours or mine?

 

[ShinkanPo]

I think we should love our liberal neighbor. They may eventually calm down from the Hillary loss.

But if they're gonna try to hit you with a lock in the head, you gotta practice self defense.

What if the neighbors are peeing on your lawn?

I've seen radio hosts and media personalities warning of "civil war" for decades, on both sides of the political spectrum. Is this somehow supposed to be news?

This "progressive research organization" sounds like an absolute joke. They legitimately have people listening to Alex Jones's rantings & ravings on a daily basis. Sounds like something that would've been done in the good old USSR to keep tabs on any potential "revolutionary" forces.
