Should FR continue to blacklist Infowars articles? [JimRob reply at 47]

Posted on 07/01/2013 11:31:10 AM PDT by grumpygresh

Sources such as NYT, Wapo, Politico are permitted on FR and those organizations are not exactly unbiased or accurate. Generally speaking, I think Infowars presents a libertarian and constitutionalist perspective and has cleaned up its act over the last couple years.

The out of the box approach is more of what we seem to need. Jones, like Beck, has been FOR YEARS saying that a NWO, or elitist statist cabal, is out to get our individual liberties view freedom. I see nothing to invalidate THAT view, just plenty of proof from everywhere. If that makes me anathema, then ban me too!

The boss has made his stance abundantly clear:

Alex Jones is just a useful idiot who makes tons of money selling this stupid crap to the gullible.

Jim Robinson has been a crusader for traditional all-American values of God, life, family, guns and liberty. When there's any doubt in a matter, I've found it wise to stand with Mr. Robinson.

Alex Jones is a despicable pig. See him terrorize Michelle Malkin at the 2008 DNC convention in Denver in this youtube clip.

You forget one little thing, the only reason many go to a site is for the links to an original article as a citing source. You don`t need to post there for that!

There are now many sites that do that. And as you ban people, people who perhaps would donate, you encourage longer donation cycles, which are getting longer, why is that? Now this site can go Darwinian if it pleases, some will still use the links to original citing.

Now you can make them poster only, that`ll only encourage those to leave and not visit at all, further marginalizing this site. I don`t care, I`m after the info, and not an acolyte of this site or any another, so do as you please, the free-market, such as it is, will still decide.

Yup, Jones is one of those brilliant crackpots.

They can sometimes suck you in because they sound so smart and then BAM here comes the crackpot theory.

Jones is perhaps 25% crackpot 75% normal

Ron Paul is perhaps 10% crackpot and 90% normal.

Pat Buchanan is also a brilliant crackpot IMO.

I tried to post something one time from the Huffington Post. Little did I realize that nothing of any value ever can come from the Huffington Post.
So I went and found the identical article somewhere else and posted it here. Problem solved.

Alex Jones is a Michael Rivera class crackpot. Makes up conspiracy theories on the fly.

Yes. My computer actually screams “ewwwwww...ick!” whenever I inadvertently click on one on Drudge.

Also that seems to be a big site for trojans. That and Breitbart, for some reason.

Just because a broken clock is right twice a day doesn’t mean you should rely on it to tell time. At the risk of offending some and being politically incorrect, Infowars went full retard years ago, and they have never tried to take it down a notch.

Yes. Jones’ wacky 911 trutherism is pure leftist idiocy. The man is a raving lunatic and you can tell him I said so.

bears repeating. He is a wacko.

This is Jim Robinson’s call. Not open to debate. It is whatever he wants it to be. FR is not a commune.
