Alex Jones Has Meltdown On Piers Morgan's Show
More: http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/alex-jones-piers-morgan-video-140201992.html
Alex Jones, the conservative talk radio host who launched a petition to deport CNN prime-time host Piers Morgan over the British citizen's views on gun control, had what you might conservatively call a wee bit of a meltdown during an interview on Morgan's show Monday night.
Jones, whose petition has generated more than 100,000 signatures since being posted last month on the White House's "We The People" website, lashed out at Morgan over his public calls for tighter gun regulations in the wake of last month's shootings in Newtown, Conn., where 26 peopleincluding 20 childrenwere killed by a gunman at an elementary school.
"The Second Amendment isn't there for duck hunting," a relatively calm Jones said at the beginning of a two-part, 15-minute interview. "It's there to protect us from tyrannical government and street thugs."
But things escalated rather quickly, with the interview becoming a one-sided, pro-gun tirade. Jones cut off Morgan at nearly every turn.

Was that a meltdown? Watching it left the impression that was/is his typical state of mind.

The mind of a paranoid imbecile that is.

They played part of it on the Stephanie Miller Show.
Jones is a clear-cut case for the Baker Act, if I've ever seen one.
