#16. To: Obnoxicated (#12)
Furthermore, the folks who watch CNN already have their minds made up.
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. A people unwilling to use force, once diplomatic efforts have been exhausted, in order to preserve or obtain their liberty deserves the tyrants that rule over them.
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. 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. I don't think Jones lost any true believers - and he planted seeds regarding pharmaceuticals, low murder rates re: semi-automatics, genocide where guns are banned and the tyrant always bans the gun. Somebody has to get angry - the 2nd Amendment sits precariously on the edge of death. Someone has to "SCREAM" the communists are coming, the fascist are coming, and wake America out of its CNN coma. That being said, you are right that Jones tries to place to much info into the conversation all at once, which may be too much for the comatose. However, these folks aren't going to resist anything govt mandates. (Are they ?)
This could be precisely the reason Piers had him on the show. He knew how he would act. I agree in part and have stated many times that Jones is often obnoxious. To his credit though, the TV hosts take advantage of a restrained or timid guest, and he know it. (There are a kazillion examples of so-called conservative hosts like Bill Is'Raeli, Scam Hannity, Michael Scurvy, Glenn Buck, and the Russian Jew, Michael Mevedev, walking all over someone they've invited to debate. I'm sure Jones saw this as a live opportunity and may have over-played his hand a bit. He made many points that NEVER get made on MSM.
The point is, you're not going to win on their turf and on their terms. 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 !
Ha ! Let's not get violent. All it looks to me like they needed to do was fry up a Wimpy Burger and let the aroma waft out onto the stage - whereby Jones would have appeared to have fled the scene ! Man, he hasn't missed a meal in awhile - and he constantly claims to have lost 47 pounds ! I'll gladly debate you Tuesday for a burger today !
In some very few instances, even I might recommend psycho-tropic drugs. Hehehehehe.
Yep, true indeed. My political mentor, many years ago, told one of the more rotund members of our circle that you can't fight the NWO if you can't touch your toes. He is a man who as a 17 y/o kid landed on Iwo Jima and spent 47 days in hell. How right he was about being in shape and fighting the enemy.
This made me laugh :)
Joyce Riley is taking calls re: AJ's rant last evening.
“The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken As usual scrapper, a dead on assessment!
Good morning Jim and thanks. This should be interesting.
Most people don't know how to debate and aren't prepared for traps and pitfalls. Alex walked into this one willingly and hung himself out to dry. We 'get it' that Alex wanted a piece of Piers Morgan's hide. That is perfectly understandable, but the same passion that drove Alex to seek a piece of Morgan's hide and keeps Alex's listeners tuning in was also his undoing on Morgan's stage. “The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken 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 “The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken haaaaaahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
that's exactly what Bill and I said. i was actually cringeing.
bullseye
CNN or shows like it would never ask someone like Edwin J. Vieira to appear.
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.
Did you "feel sorry" for him as well when he ambushed Larry Pratt of GOA? I guess Alex should have just acted meek and let Morgan walk over him. During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.
Dershowitz feels uncomfortable, are we supposed to care? Yep, getting Viera on CNN isn't going to happen. Most CNN audiences don't know history very well. The US was born in Revolution and the Right To Revolt was preserved for the people. Here's a fun exercise I did some time ago. Take a look at the Bill of Rights in order and then think about how a rebellion is planned. The First Amendment guarantees you the right to sit with people and discuss it. But what if you get caught? The Fifth Amendment allows you to remain silent and ensures you can't be tried twice for it. Its a very strange document laid out in a peculiar order. A people unwilling to use force, once diplomatic efforts have been exhausted, in order to preserve or obtain their liberty deserves the tyrants that rule over them.
Now there's a freaking tagline ! We should all be fucking livid. Stop acting like docile, mentally castrated pussies and grow a pair. It's time to get in their face. Why should we speak in hushed tones and act all polite when we are being metaphorically raped in the ass every day?
I've never seen that version or interpretation of the BOR. Hah and thanks!
You'll never be able to enjoy the yummy goodness of kosher-slaughtered deep fried Esso. Godfrey Smith: Mike, I wouldn't worry. Prosperity is just around the corner. But what if you get caught? The Fifth Amendment allows you to remain silent and ensures you can't be tried twice for it. The Sixth Amendment guarantees you a speedy trial so you don't languish in prison forever - guarantees you a lawyer and to a jury so they can acquit you. The Seventh Amendment allows juries to set rules and guarantees common law courts and that the jury gets to try the facts The Eighth Amendment guarantees you won't be boiled in oil or tortured as an "example to others". The Ninth Amendment guarantees your right to go forth and do it again if you fail. Its a very strange document laid out in a peculiar order. Brilliant. We should all be fucking livid. Stop acting like docile, mentally castrated pussies and grow a pair. It's time to get in their face. Why should we speak in hushed tones and act all polite when we are being metaphorically raped in the ass every day?
I have known Larry as long as I have known Jones. It was Morgan that did himself no favors by trying to belittle him. He made himself look bad. Jones had a pefect opportunity to slam dunk him. There is a way to debate. You do it like any politician. You acknowledge their point and continue with what you want to make a point about. He was "acting" for his audience. Not trying to convince Piers audience was a mistake. People are conditioned to vote for the best actor or performer. Sad to say but it is what it is. It's called situation awareness. He came off like a complete ass***e. Years ago Mark Koernke and myself did a couple interviews/ He did Sam Donaldson of ABC evening news and I did McNeil/Leher Report on PBS. I told Mark to dress up and kill Donaldson with kindness and smiles. He did and it and destroyed Donaldson. This was on the issue of Militia of which was a powder keg. We did this to perfection. Marks interview was live and mine was taped and they still could'nt make me look bad. The AJ/PM circus was an abject disaster.
AJ does his homework, and I'm always impressed with his recall on a pretty wide range of issues. He's got very little self control however, and his lack of self- possession often reveals itself at critical moments and in critical encounters. I don't harbor some of the darker suspicions of this man that some hold, but at this juncture I'm patronizing cooler heads as far as sources of information go. A little less bullhorn and a little less bull is in order. 1st off, you should admit that you don't like Jones. Jones competes with your network so knowing him and Larry Pratt the same length of time really has no bearing on anything. Piers Morgan ate Pratt's lunch, and if anything Jones ate his own lunch, but he didn't let Piers Morgan run all over him like he did Pratt. 2ndly, you say Jones was "acting" for his audience and maybe he was. However, you mention dressing Koernke up and coaching him to respond with nice talk and smiles. Isn't that "acting" ? Look John, you and Jones have different styles for sure. I actually prefer your style to his, but I'd be a liar if I didn't admit that I sometimes might haul off and punch somebody's lights out when I'm fucking sick of yacking about something. Whether one or the other of you two guys (Jones or You) is more productive remains to be seen. I don't hold out much hope for you two to ever see eye to eye (though I wish that were different). But I do know this much about the two of you. Neither of you are gonna give up your guns because Obama or the entire gang of thugs in D.C. order it. Piers Morgan's show on CNN doesn't have a very large audience. His audience last evening may have been more Alex Jones listeners/viewers than those of Piers Morgan. Whatever the viewership was composed of, gun owners left or right are fairly certain of their right to keep and bear arms and their determination to turn them in or not will not have been affected by Jones' big mouth. Maybe Jones witnessed the treatment given to Pratt and decided to do the same to Morgan. I know that Morgan abused Pratt without concern for the audience or truth. Jones may have abused the audience but he did it with the truth. I have had times in my life where I was so pissed off that I welcomed the ass- whippin if the other guy could deliver it, haven't you ? Last of all, I don't think it hurts anything for an enemy to think I'm a little crazy ! We should all be fucking livid. Stop acting like docile, mentally castrated pussies and grow a pair. It's time to get in their face. Why should we speak in hushed tones and act all polite when we are being metaphorically raped in the ass every day?
I highly dislike jones. The y2k broadcast alone should of had him removed from he air. The trinidad incident demostraited his complete untrustworthyness. The parking lot incident shown him to be a petty liar and a weak fighter. LOL The Austin gun show protest was distressing and eye opening for many. The charlie sheen thing... that got ratings through antics. But did little to oppose the tyranny... in fact I think it made the tyranny lol... which I loath because the system as it stands is foul and corrupted. It uses controled media. Propaganda. Tools like alex jones and Rand paul to identify dissidents and contain them through their medias of their choice. So I am not very surprised at all by this latest ill performance on Ajs part. He serves the tyranny well to have him puppeted around as a kind of leader.. He has even made front page yahoo. But is he really doing all that he can in opposition of the tyranny? Or has he done more to help it... That's an opinion call I guess... for now... I'm still a very big Jack Blood fan. I even got another fellow turned on to deadline not so long ago. :) I hear John Stadtmiller is pretty enlightening too but I wouldn't know as I have never listened to his show. ___FIRE
You missed my point. The point
is Pratt and Jones. The battle for hearts and minds is most important. Any
opportunity to demonstate to people the soundness of your arguments is what you
are really after. "Jones may have abused the audience but he did it with the
truth." They couldn't hear the truth because it was lost in the the theater and
drama. Otherwise why do it. Yes you are correct, I don't like the man. It was
the movement that he hurt.I was was one of the people that signed his
petition.Why,because I hate him? BTW, He lied again. He is not on 140 radio
stations, he is on thirty eight stations. Otherwise that petition would have at
least ten times the signers and he pays to be on those stations.
hehehehe. funny. man, alex is being lambasted all over the net today. i'm seeing comments about him from otherwise silent on things political folks on Facebook. he did us no favors.
john, i totally agree....in addition to helping the gun controllers argument, alex also helped the promulgators of the 9/11 LIE. it was a disaster. it really turned me off.
I agree that the battle for hearts and minds is the goal. I support both yours and AJ's efforts to attain the goal. I also wish that we could all get along well enough to establish a huge contingent in opposition to the globalists.
We should all be fucking livid. Stop acting like docile, mentally castrated pussies and grow a pair. It's time to get in their face. Why should we speak in hushed tones and act all polite when we are being metaphorically raped in the ass every day?
Big amen. “The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos.

it was a disaster. it really turned me off. When I watched that "interview", a horrible sense of dread came over me causing me to realize exactly how far gone this country is. The people working to enslave & destroy this country are so very skilled, and 99.9% of the K-12 prison/indoctrinated dumbed-down sheeple are far too weak to resist it. I often wonder how I and most of the 4um posters were able to resist falling victim to the propaganda & brainwashing like everyone else has. It certainly would be a lot easier being a member of the herd, right up until the time you're led into the slaughterhouse, I guess. Godfrey Smith: Mike, I wouldn't worry. Prosperity is just around the corner.

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.
