I said he was the only one that I know of personally. Since I don't watch Fox, or TV at all for that matter, I don't know what they said if anything. Jones is at least entertaining, and his umm spin is interesting. He mixes RW BS with "the Illuminati bankers" and real conspiracies that I first heard on Pacifica that the right poo pooed as "conspiracy theory". (specifically Contra/Cocaine, when the proposed Operation NORTHWOODS became declassified, Tonkin Gulf incident that wasn't).

Why haven't *you* read it, if it's such a vital source to rebut RW conspiracy theories? friendly_iconoclast Sep 2012 #20

LOL. You haven't read it, and yet you're pushing right-wing conspiracy theories. DanTex Sep 2012 #22

Your devotion to the genetic fallacy is almost admirable in an odd way. friendly_iconoclast Sep 2012 #25

Your devotion to buzzwords is amusing. DanTex Sep 2012 #26
