I'd really like to see the actual videos that support the claims allegations they've made... seems others are asking the same questions... maybe Alex will post them somewhere else so we can all see.
I did see a video where he was claiming the Govt. is drugging the water supplies to turn Heterosexual men into Gay men as a method of population control...

He also had multiple videos up purporting that the Sandy Hook school shooting was all staged, the kids were actors - that's what he's being sued for now.

I feel bad for Alex Jones. Maybe about 1% bad. But is there any doubt this is what he's been trying to achieve from the beginning? Twenty first graders and 6 adults slaughtered in class and he says that kind of garbage? F him.

Yeah and there are consequences for his speech... the Sandy Hook story was/is sic.
He's going to pay for it in court. If you break the law let the system in place take care of it.
We don't need some moral arbiter running major communications companies telling us what we should hear see or read.. but the left mob has spoken including these Social Justice corporations.
I don't like this regardless of the way I feel about this knucklehead and his conspiracy crap.
Still censoring and agenda driven I believe...

not saying you Mike or anyone here agrees with this... but it's not a good thing.

Just heard on NPR the Alex Jones ap available on Itunes... was trending at 43 before he got shut down... it's no.3 now.

There are now uber-right video outlets, and Jones has moved (or is moving) a thousand of his conspiracy, racist and hate-mongering videos onto it. That should pleas everyone who considers what FB, etc did 'censoring'.

Again I don't have to agree with what Alex Jones promotes... just his right to say it. This was a real litmus test of the protection of free speech... and I'd say we failed. Not a good direction imo.

I would like to inject my 2 cents worth here.. Guitar Mike keeps harping about they are PRIVATE companies and the owner can censor as much as they want to.. but in reality Guitar Mike, the fakebook is a publically traded company and believe they should at least hold a vote amongst shareholders to decide the degree of censorship they want to put into place / statutes etc.. ha ha

Policy decisions at large corporations are made by a board of ranking officers and are not routinely put to shareholders.

If the shareholders are unhappy w the decisions made by the ranking board members they can make that known.

You got to love how this just keeps happening...
Jo Bernstein credited with the take-down of Alex Jones has quite the history on twitter kind of like Sarah Jeong...
Joe is a BuzzFeed Reporter
Here are a few of his tweets...
Kill a straight white male on your way to work tomorrow
The Straight White Middle class Male needs to be dethroned
or
Being a Jew is never having to say sorry your white...
My dogs anal gland smells bad what do I do
Keep staring at my dogs ass trying to see a viral meme
an anagram for doughnuts is dog nuts
Would you rather name your child Samus or Tugjob
Serious? This is the guy that championed the downfall of Alex Jones?
sic sic M'Fers
Would you call it at least a violation of the standards you hold others too?
naaaah... he was just being funny like joking around and chit...
He's probably on a short list for the next opening at the NYT.
You can't make this chit... please please continue...

Bingo.....looks like the Democrats have found their next Presidential candidate!

You guys who keep screaming "censorship" don't get it.

I'm not saying Alex Jones doesn't have the right to express his views, I just wouldn't allow him to do it from my porch... MY porch where I might allow someone else whose views I didn't find wack, or offensive to speak from.

That's not censorship. Nor would it be censorship had I allowed an "Elect Clinton" sign in my yard, but didn't allow Trump campaigners to put an "Elect Trump" sign in my yard.

It's MY property so I get to decide what gets communicated from it.
If I don't agree w your mssg or if I find it offensive.... You have every right to speak it but you're going to have to share it somewhere else.

Slice it however you like, that's not censorship. That's me EXERCISING MY RIGHT to have the final word over what gets said from MY PROPERTY.

More examples of hypocrisy.


That is exactly the same defense that the Christian bakers in Oregon had for not making a cake for a gay wedding that promoted homosexuality. Do you remember your position on that? I do and it wasn't consistent with what you just said.

Which is it?


It's blatant and obvious that Democrats have a problem with consistent integrity. The law and any rules of decency only apply to everyone else
