there's no link yet. it just finished. i'm sure it will be on youtube. lord. he gave his detractors so much *ammo* against the anti gun controllers. he behaved like a raving maniac which left viewers most likely thinking that if he'd had a semiauto with him, he'd probably would have shot everyone on the set.

Someone should have tazed Jones and dragged him off the stage.

I don't watch or listen to Alex Jones or to Piers Morgan. So I think I can be pretty objective in my impression of this interview.
Alex Jones had all the facts at his finger tips - he was well prepared, I'll give him that - but because he tried so hard to squeeze every fact in, obviously fearing he would not have a chance, he'd be cut off - Jones does come across frenzied and frazzled - Piers Morgan plays Jones like a piano.
It's too bad. I agree with you, JT.
I think the anti-gun folks won re: this particular interview because Jones was too intense, too fearful, too emotional - symbolizing the type of irrational gun owner MSM wants to show as justifying gun control, ie. not wanting the Jones kind of person getting his hands on lethal weapons.

Precisely.
The proper way to win this debate is to just say, "We have a Constitution. It is the highest law of the land."
That throws the ball back and makes it very hot for them to touch. ANY response along the "Well nothing is absolute" or "They didn't mean an M16!" is met with, "Well, the First Amendment didn't forsee obnoxious Cable Talk-Jocks either. When are you terminating your show?"
The point is, you're not going to win on their turf and on their terms. You have to play the Schoolteacher Game with them and leave them with a binary choice -- the choice you want and something nobody wants.

That's about the size of it.
I couldn't bring myself to watch the posted videos because I don't want to pop a gasket before I've even had my coffee this morning. I know I'd get just as mad as AJ listening to Morgan ooze out the predictable blend of cant and recrimination we've become familiar with that's always directed toward 2nd Amendment folks.
But "temper, temper" Alex Jones. It's the motormouth Welshman in him. The man cannot introduce a guest without launching into a number of war stories and rendom digressions. He simply cannot shut up strategically and listen strategically which is part of effective debate.

All of the above !

I believe that the psychologists at Communist News Network thoroughly discussed 'what would/might happen' and came to the conclusion that HE would be perceived as the one with the GUN in his hand. 'crazy one withe the gun,'

When cnn began, 1 June 1980 (I looked it up), it was fresh and different and we had no internet like today.
Thirty-two years later, it sucks like all the rest of msm. imo

This is likely true. Jones almost always tries to jam too much info into a short space of time and it does make him look aggressive.
