How is it Austin has given Alex Jones a platform to spew nonsense (Dallas: racism, best)

Again, that's your opinion. You can decide for yourself and your family but not for others. I wouldn't do (or not do) what you tell me to do any more than I would do what Alex Jones tells me to do.

I think for myself.

What is the "reach of the first amendment"?

Why do you keep asking questions I have already answered? And there are several instances where the first amendment does not protect you. "Fighting words", inciting violence, threats, libel and slander are some that I can think of off the top of my head.

Unless you're an immunologist, we all get our information from somewhere else. As between a former nude model for Playboy and the CDC...I'll go with the CDC.

He isn't exactly alone in that belief.

Look, I hear all kinds of nutty things - usually every morning when the usual parade of leftists show up on Morning Joe. But I listen, because the best way to understand your beliefs is to burnish them against the other side of the argument. I would NEVER label an opposing view as "dangerous" because I don't share it. The original premise of this thread seems rooted in an embarrassment that Alex Jones could even be associated with Austin. I find that association as further proof of our well deserved reputation for tolerance and diversity - which must include thoughts we don't agree with.

So a woman who has posed nude means that any of her opinions, thoughts, or beliefs should automatically be discounted? I just love how you chose to post that picture. Did you take the time to read any articles out there on what she's talking about or did you just run to find the most "taboo" photo you could find to prove some sexist point? Shows just how closed minded you are.

I'm not saying Jenny McCarthy is right or wrong with what she believes- I was just using her as an example of someone who is so opposite of Alex Jones but shares some of the same beliefs.

At least Glenn Beck is not based out of Austin. He's right up the road in Dallas however right?

I'm still waiting on the govt to present their evidence that 911 was carried out by Osama bin laden... They said they would release this information back in October of 2001...what's the hold up???

Every one of those celebrities is a political lunatic, IMO.

If I were a conspiracy enthusiast, I wouldn't want my name connected to any of those nutcases.

I can assure you that was not the most "taboo" photo of Jenny McCarthy I can find.
