Man behind ‘Deport Piers Morgan’ petition has meltdown on Morgan’s show

[jimnyc]

Alex Jones, the conservative talk radio host who launched a petition to deport CNN prime-time host Piers Morgan over the British citizen's views on gun control, had what you might conservatively call a wee bit of a meltdown during an interview on Morgan's show Monday night.

Jones, whose petition has generated more than 100,000 signatures since being posted last month on the White House's "We The People" website, lashed out at Morgan over his public calls for tighter gun regulations in the wake of last month's shootings in Newtown, Conn., where 26 people—including 20 children—were killed by a gunman at an elementary school.

"The Second Amendment isn't there for duck hunting," a relatively calm Jones said at the beginning of a two-part, 15-minute interview. "It's there to protect us from tyrannical government and street thugs."

But things escalated rather quickly, with the interview becoming a one-sided, pro-gun tirade. Jones cut off Morgan at nearly every turn.

"I'm here to tell you," Jones yelled, pointing his finger at the talk show host, "1776 will commence again if you try to take our firearms!"

And for those wondering, I still think Jones is beyond being a nutter, even if I applaud his stance on the 2nd amendment.

I can't stop laughing, that video is hilarious!

I still think he would be a better Presidential debate moderator than Candy Crowley.

I just finished the entire segment. I don't care for Morgan, but that poor bastard couldn't get a word in with Jones ranting! LOL

Wow. This video shows a man that is really into the 2nd amendment and is rather vocal about it. But he went further and further and further off the deep end as the discussion went on, ending with his 9/11 conspiracies and mimicking Morgan like a child. I should have watched the entire segment prior to posting. This guy is certifiable, and I knew that already, and still posted it! LOL

Starting a conversation doesn't mean you support the premise of the conversation, just curious about what the rest of the forum thinks about it. And I would STILL take Alex Jones over Candy Crowley.

Yep. And at least for the first half, his stances and facts weren't half bad, it was just his delivery. I actually started giggling at the way he was talking after awhile. I don't think that's the response you want from those tuning in!

I used to respect Jones. In the beginning (I mean when he started rallying against stuff) he had a point.

He has been ranting so long now though, he has gone a little nutty.

I could see about 1min in, Piers Morgan's face had a "WTF are you going on about?" look on his face.

Jim, while I don't like extremism, from any side .... is was interesting to see the tables turned. Usually, it's the extreme, progressive left that are ranting like this. I would love to see Jones vs. Matthews do a segment .... well, no, I don't think I would....would just be yelling over the top of each other.

I think what Jones has to say is right on ... just that the way he tries to make his point makes him seem like a nutter at times.

I think the bit where he made fun of the English accent particularly cringe worthy.

Place both men on a rowboat, just above the Falls Niagara Falls, and televise their Argument until they both go over the edge.

IF..either of them manage to survive the fall. The people responsible for dragging their bodies from the water get to decide WHERE THE BODIES go.

Personally. I would just allow them to remain FISH FOOD.

If a plane crashes there EXACTLY on the US-Canada border, where do you bury the survivors?

The debate on gun control is going to have to be conducted by US citizens. I am dubious about a British citizen (as far as I know Morgan is a British citizen) making statements about it. I do wonder what Jones will have to say when Gabby Giffords and her husband start promoting their gun control measure. Hardly possible to deport her and her astronaut husband. I am not in favor of more gun control. I am in favor of debate. Unless we want to create another Civil War type division in this country we will need to achieve some common ground on this issue. I think the major issue may come down to how to keep illegal guns out of criminal hands. The measures proposed that I have seen so far don't seem to focus on that. Until they do, no real debate or progress is likely to happen.
