I hate it when AJ goes on the MSM and says he's a libertarian (early in the first video).

He probably is philosophically libertarian, but when guys like AJ claim they are libertarians, it reflects badly on those of us who are rational libertarians.

We'd be better off if people thought of rational libertarians like Ron Paul or Justin Amash when they hear the word "libertarian," rather than flashing back to a demagogue like Alex Jones and one of his angry rants.

Loud and angry does not mean one is necessarily irrational.

Me too, Alex Jones is definitely not a libertarian.

He sure as heck seems like one to me.

Me too, Alex Jones is definitely not a libertarian.

I believe I heard him say that he was a constitutionalist/classical liberal.

He sure as heck seems like one to me.

He's not an anarcho-capitalist, but he's certainly a libertarian if it's defined as 'a person who values liberty.'

He sure as heck seems like one to me.

Ah, let me clear things up for you. According to "Libertarians" nobody is actually Libertarian. We're all really closet statists.

Well Said sir well said.

I can't say I disagree with that as an opinion, but there is more to it as we have seen with some of the positive results of AJ's rant.

But tell me, does a "rational" Libertarian vote for Obama and increases his campaign donations to Obama just to spite members of RPFs?

[FreeHampshire]

Am I missing something here? Last I checked, AJ had a radio show. How are you "viewing" that?

He does have an internet TV show, you're able to watch his show if you pay monthly to Infowars or Prisonplanet.

I'll admit I haven't seen a lot of his stuff, but I don't agree.

I disagree with many of his beliefs, but from what I've seen, the guy tries to carry on rational debate. He doesn't shout, he doesn't talk over people, he doesn't threaten, he doesn't bully, he doesn't twist people's words.

We could use more people like that, even if we disagree with them, and less of the loud mouth blow hard types who seem to dominate the debate (on both sides).

we need more Libertarians (ahem) like Glenn Beck and Alex Jones...i'm sure that will attract more people to the movement hahaha

really these guys are just for entertainment, they shouldnt be look upon as serious people

I've only watched the first video in the OP. I hate Alex Jones but he did fine in this interview.

I think the Piers Morgan appearance was a mutually beneficial spectacle for both Jones and Morgan. They both gained some listeners/viewers from it.
