Alex Jones is a good man who does more good than harm.
That is not something I can say about 99.9% of the political commentators in the media.

It's really telling that all the AJ haters seem to have their own agendas. Relying on YT'er "LiquidMetal Band" is just another example of not doing your "due diligence" with regard to sources.
This "contributor" has been responsible for hacks on AJ's servers (as documented here on ATS) - and no I won;t link to the article, because somebody has to motivate you mindless trolls to actually do some research instead of just jumping on the hate bandwagon at every opportunity.
This thread just shows the depths to which some keyboard warriors will stoop to promote themselves. Well, get used to the fact that those of us who CAN think know you for what and who you are. EPIC FAIL!!!!edit on 30-11-2010 by Tholidor because: (no reason given)

At least Alex isn't a perpetual liar like CBS News or MSNBC.

This thread if anything shows Jones followers are willing to Ad-Hom' people who disagree with them. You're being awfully rude and confrontational. This forum has rules on manners and decorum.

Everyday the mainstream press continues to spew lies about global warming.
Everyday the mainstream press continues to spew lies about terrorism.
The list of lies spewed forth by the mainstream press is endless.
Yet you chose to get worked up over inconsequential stuff that Alex Jones has exaggerated.
We all know he is a shock jock, that's what he does for a living.
At least Alex isn't a perpetual liar like CBS News or MSNBC.

While the noobs class themselves as either "followers" or "haters" or whatever labels you put on yourselves, I'll go down for the record and say I am none of those.
I am just a random dude who likes to think about, talk about, and look up random stuff.
It's all random to me!
And I only follow one person, ME. I am a Muzzleflash follower. That is the only acceptable label I suppose.
I have reviewed the claims against Alex Jones, and there is a lack of EVIDENCE to prove any of them. And often times many of them are completely hypothetical.
If you want to Discredit someone, you need hard evidence. Character assassination is weak when only rumors and baseless accusations are used to fuel it.
Get some evidence, and post it here or U2U it to me.
Until the hard incontrovertible evidence is provided, I consider the attacks against Alex just personality conflicts and has nothing to do with actual data/information provided or discussed by him.

If you don't like him, that's your business.
If google and youtube ban him, that's their business.
However, google and youtube's actions in this matter should concern you given their ridiculous amount of power to control information flow on the web.
Obviously this matter doesn't bother you at all.
I'm not sure why you are in here bashing alex jones. You must have some reason. I don't go around bashing Mike Malloy or Al Franken or any of the other communists that fill the airwaves with drivel. So I have a hard time understanding why you feel the need to fill this thread with hate for Alex.

"UPDATE (Please read below): UPDATED DEC. 1, 2010 2:20 PM CST — You Tube issued TheAlexJonesChannel a notice reversing its PREVIOUS DECISION to freeze the account. In the newest contact, You Tube writes that "Upon additional review we have reinstated the material and removed any penalties that had been applied to your account."
Only two days ago, YouTube responded to our counter-notification challenging the removal of a Wikileaks massacre video posted by literally hundreds of other media outlets by ruling to freeze our account. Now, thanks to outrage from our listeners and articles slamming the unfair ruling, You Tube has taken the rare and nearly unprecedented step of taking a second look, restoring the video and removing all penalties. Credit goes to You Tube for listening to our criticism.
Ironically, though, even this reversal contains its own spin. Below the decision [see full letter below] is a message recommending that we "appeal the strike" in any future incidents we feel are unjust. However, this appeal process, known as a "DMCA counter-notification" is the exact venue we used to challenge the video's original removal. It was when we DID appeal that You Tube ruled to freeze our account; the removal of the video itself was only a strike that would not have closed or frozen our account."

NONSENSE. "You Tube has taken the rare and nearly unprecedented step of taking a second look, restoring the video and removing all penalties. Credit goes to You Tube for listening to our criticism."
That's the biggest load of hogwash I've ever heard. Again, Jones is deceiving people who don't understand how Youtube works.
I've had hundreds of videos unblocked, by contesting the copyright claim. It's not unprecedented. Jones talks so much rubbish. I cannot believe people go with him on these claims. They're so fallacious and moronic that only someone who's never had a Youtube account could possibly buy them.
Unpercedented, roflmfao.
