I think Alex Jones is basically disinformation for Republicans. I can't help but wonder if he wasn't paid to bring back the people on the right who really were anti-war and not fond of Bush, back into the corporate Republican fold?

I know kind of makes me like Alex Jones himself, but for him, it's a job, and he's probably well paid for it.
