That is because he acts like one. I think Jones is a ringer. I think his role is to deliberately make anyone who tries to seriously discuss the things he brings up sound like a fool. Any issue he touches immediately goes into the "Nut job" file and can no longer be seriously considered.

You’re probably right; or at least that’s how he’s used — he could be sincere, he could also be ‘planted’... heck, I wouldn’t put it past The Powers That Be to have several “conservative”/”Tea Party” sites [like FreeRepublic] as a “pressure relief” — let `em vent, just so long as they don’t get “worked up” enough to really do something about it. (i.e. the Frog in a Pot metaphor.)
