After watching the Piers Morgan CNN interview with Alex Jones this week I was sorely disappointed in the way our pro-second amendment message was portrayed by our libertarian brother. I do not mean that we should have someone with the fluffiness of Joel Osteen as an advocate for our gun rights, as I rather enjoyed watching Ted Nugent and Jesse Ventura put Morgan in his place on the guns topic. I always prefer a hearty discussion on controversial topics, in fact I seek it out. After all, I am a huge Coulter fan.
This interview, however, was more resembling of Uncle Ted after ten shots of Jameson and a pound of beef jerky at a bar fight. Jones was not letting Morgan get a word or question in edgewise and when he did, he would vaguely answer the question and then go off on a rant about “Suicide pills! Mass murder pills!”
Maybe I am alone in this with my Clash Daily following but I would be embarrassed to show anyone this video as a defense for the second amendment, or watch it in public lest someone begins to wonder if I am clinically insane. While Jones makes some really good points, they are all muddled by his belligerent delivery. At one point, he even challenges Piers Morgan to a boxing match! Because there is no better time to challenge your national television host to a fight than when our country is debating whether people are sane enough to have guns.
