Alex Jones going nuts on Piers Morgan

[DinoDoc]

Sanctions are pretty much Lima Delta foreign policy feelgood tools.

I would like to introduce you to the Obama administration. Clearly you've never heard of them.

[regexcellent]

Which are pretty much irrelevant. It's not like the Revolutionary Guards have their bank accounts down at your neighborhood Chase or BofA branch or they're applying for visas to come visit Disneyland. Sanctions are pretty much Lima Delta foreign policy feelgood tools.

I agree, sanctions are dumb (mostly). But that's a double-edged sword; if they're so meaningless, why wouldn't Hagel support them?

[Aeson]

How sad. Standard ploy for the hacktastic talking heads be they Sean Hannity or Piers Morgan.

1. Find a deranged person with opposing view.
2. "Interview" them, allowing them to expose their lunacy.
3. Claim victory as a voice of reason.

This is of course the only reason to post on Poly

His weakness is that his record is one that projects weakness abroad and shows that he's more than a bit homophobic. If the nomination fails it's going to most likely to die due to liberal opposition.

Sounds like your kind of guy.

The Palestinians set their end-goal for the negotiations as preconditions for negotiations.

If they were truly interested in negotiating they wouldn't set preconditions to merely talking.

They weren't happy with '67 borders then and they still won't be now.

Worth the wait.

[Al B. Sure!]

I would want Israel to do more for peace too if it weren't blindingly obvious that the palestinians don't actually want peace. Israel has made a lot of concessions and and has never gotten anything for it. Even the Oslo accords have been violated as of the UN bid.

Israel violated the Oslo accords by settling in the West Bank

[Al B. Sure!]

If they were truly interested in negotiating they wouldn't set preconditions to merely talking.

Just like America doesn't want peace with Iran because if we truly were interested we wouldn't set preconditions... oh wait.

[Alexander's Horse]

I saw this in a hotel lobby with the sound down, even then he seemed nuts.

[Lonestar]

If by "got what he wanted" you mean show that the guy who wants him deported for using his free speech rights is completely insane and unable to make a coherent argument then yes but other wise no.

He wanted someone to create the perception that gunowners are completely insane, and he got it. He didn't get it with Penn Jillette or Ventura(who, to his credit, stayed on point) so he got Alex Jones on the show.

[Docfeelgood]

I don't disagree with what AJ said but he sure could have used some xanax before the show.

[dannubis]

You are funny.



In a weird way.

White House won't deport Piers Morgan

The White House defended Morgan's First Amendment right to free speech regarding the Second Amendment right to bear arms.
The White House officially responded to a petition to deport Piers Morgan on Wednesday by defending the CNN anchor's right to free speech regarding the Second Amendment right to bear arms.
"Let’s not let arguments over the Constitution’s Second Amendment violate the spirit of its First," White House press secretary Jay Carney wrote in the response. "Americans may disagree on matters of public policy and express those disagreements vigorously, but no one should be punished by the government simply because he or she expressed a view on the Second Amendment — or any other matter of public concern."

Morgan tweeted in response, "President Obama has officially decided I am NOT being deported."
The White House has promised to officially respond to any petition that garners more than 25,000 signatures on its We the People website. The petition to deport Morgan, a U.K. citizen and CNN anchor, has almost 110,000 signatures. Carney, in his response, thanked signers for "participating" by speaking out on the White House petition site.
"We demand that Mr. Morgan be deported immediately for his effort to undermine the Bill of Rights and for exploiting his position as a national network television host to stage attacks against the rights of American citizens," the petition reads.
Morgan has used his CNN show "Piers Morgan Tonight" as a platform to promote gun control in the aftermath of the mass shooting in Newtown, Conn. Concern over gun regulations following the elementary school shooting there prompted several other petitions on the We the People site calling for the administration to act on gun legislation.
Obama responded personally to those petitions last month, in a video that Carney linked to in his response to the Morgan petition.
"We recognize that the tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut, sparked an intense, and at times emotional, national conversation about the steps we can take as a country to reduce gun violence," Carney said. "President Obama believes that the Second Amendment guarantees an individual right to bear arms. However, the Constitution not only guarantees an individual right to bear arms, but also enshrines the freedom of speech and the freedom of the press — fundamental principles that are essential to our democracy."
One of the people behind the petition to deport Morgan is Alex Jones, a syndicated radio host and pro-gun advocate. Jones on Wednesday challenged Morgan to a moderated debate on the subject of gun rights. The invitation follows a contentious appearance by Jones on Morgan's CNN show Monday night.

I'm somewhat disappointed. I was hoping it would start a trend of sending irritating foreigners that other countries send us as a form covert warfare back from whence they came. I would have started the next petitions to deport Celine Dion and Justin Beiber.

[Dauphin]

After the phone hacking, insider trading and fraudulent photos debacles (to name a few) I'm deeply disappointed that rather than him being in jail he's a U.S. network anchor.

Can we simply trade the UK, Geraldo?

Nice troll. Everyone knows that it's only in dictatorships (relgious/military) that the constitution isn't debateable. In a true democracy as US parts of this can always be discussed and even changed if nessecary.

Rigth ? ... yeah come on, we can at least mention it - what, I can't talk about it ? but there are free speech ... noooo, don't shoot ...
