Alex Jones And Roger Stone Interrupt The Young Turks Republican National Convention Coverage

[demmiblue]

Holy shite!

[krobar659]

1. WTF!

I would not have stopped Cenk.

[MuttLikeMe]

6. Cenk shoulda just popped that bitch in his jaw one quick time

then got back to his show.

[Equinox Moon]

2. Cenk took the bait

[MuttLikeMe]

4. big time.

[MuttLikeMe]

3. That is exactly what Jones wanted

damn smh.

[yuiyoshida]

5. holy Shite is right ..

go get em' Cenk!

[demmiblue]

7. The way Jones was pawing, patting and invading his space... ugh!

[yuiyoshida]

8. Cenk looked like he was ready to go

two rounds with Jones, and for a knockout!

[demmiblue]

13. Cenk really didn't get going until Jones insulted Ana (and brought up Saudi Arabia).

As a woman, the thought of having his sweaty, meaty paws on me in the first place would have set me off. Gross!

[Dustlawyer]

9. Yet another example of the childish, unprofessional P.O.S.!!!

I worry about our country when so many people fall for the hate propaganda. They cannot contain themselves to the point they go prank The Young Turks. What are they, a college fraternity? Politics and the news media used to be civil at least. Now it's Jerry Springer 24/7 when Conservative hosts like Alex Jones and Bill O'Reilly have this need to physically interfere with another broadcast. That just shows the maturity level of their audience.

[Pauldg47]

39. Interfering w freedom of press....can Cenk take this to court?

[Dustlawyer]

42. Not exactly my area of expertise, but I will say that what he did may qualify as an assault

when they come on like they did and get up in the face of Cenk and the others.

I am glad Cenk didn't just take it and act like Alex Jones's audience think "Libruls" act, all wimpy. He took Alex's microphone and then got up and took his jacket off. The look on Jones's face at that point was priceless!

[OhZone]

10. Idiots that belong together. nt

[Cooley Hurd]

11. I wish Cenk punched CT-nut Jones in the throat!

...and picked Jones up and beat Roger Wife-Swap Stone to a pulp with Jones' lifeless body!


...and he called Ana an Iranian?????????

[2naSalit]

12. That

producer/director of TYT should have physically turned the AJ camera guy away and Cenk should have taken the mic and flung it as far as he could and said nothing, or maybe dunked it in a glass of water. Maybe they'll sue the fuckwads... I would.

What a shitshow.

[HuskyOffset]

23. what they should have done

was deny AJ what he wanted, which was exposure to TYT audience and to have some kind of commotion that would generate hits. As soon as that jackass showed up and stepped into camera they should have cut to that TYT at the Republican convention title sheet that was up a couple times during the ruckus and, just as important, KILLED THE AUDIO. No way they should have let any more than a few seconds of AJ's idiocy go out over their airwaves. Once those two things were done, security should have been called and nobody from TYT should have said anything. Had they handled it that way AJ would have come out looking like a total jackass and the TYT crew as professionals. As it was, it looked like a zoo, and while three of the four TYT hosts kept their cool, Cenk definitely didn't, and while I totally understand why he lost his cool, you simply can't because that is just what AJ was after.

[Midnight Writer]

36. Nah, this is good for the ratings of BOTH shows. Conflict sells, blood leads.

[Locrian]

41. not sure I agree they should have turned it off

I believe there were other cameras / cell phones. So they would be subject to other "versions" possibly edited to not show the whole scene.

They got passionate - but still came out looking strong.

[7962]

29. Thats right. They had no right to invade & shouldnt have gotten ANY airtime nt

[Bucky]

14. Awwwwsome!

a Cenk would say

[Mc Mike]

15. Well, that was something else.

Hopefully, nazi bircher Jones and spouse swapper Stone will get caught pulling their brave hijinks without their paparazzi camera people around some day.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

16. Took a bit to select a familiar meme....

......and keep it clean.

[Cooley Hurd]

17. The aftermath:

[dpatbrown]

21. Thanks for the video.

[phleshdef]

18. Seeing Cenk make his ass back up made me smile... hate to admit it but its true.

[LiberalLovinLug]

19. Love the retort by Cenk: "Do you think that the lizard people are in charge?"

what a dipshit Jones is

[calimary]

32. With the Alex Jones crowd, yep, the lizard people ARE in charge.

Certainly the lizard brains are.

[Onyrleft]

35. Have you actually seen

the David Icke stuff Cenk is referring to there? It's a bizarre hoot.

[ToxMarz]

20. That was rude of Alex and Roger

I don't get to worried when rude people are rude to other rude people.

[womanofthehills]

22. Cenk was great!!

[billhicks76]

24. Alex Used To Be Very Anti-Bush

At some point he became a Republican stooge. Must be the guns and racism.

[7962]

27. He's an Alex Jones stooge!

[Mrdie]

28. He's an opportunist

In the 90s he was just as much against the Clintons as he was against Bush in the 2000s. Whatever gets people to buy his stuff. Also most of those who buy his stuff are the type of people who think Trump is the savior of America, so he can't afford to alienate them.

[TonyPDX]

25. I haven't been moved to join the Young Turks until now.

I've watched their commentary the past couple of days and they keep it real. I watched as Jones and Stone derailed their program today and TYT's handled it with both passion and restraint. I wouldn't have been so cool in that situation, and would probably have gotten the shit kicked out of me by someone. Respect for TYT.

[7962]

26. Alex Jones is such a fake blowhard. Makes a ton off of conspiracy theories.

Fleecing the gullible

[LongTomH]

30. What a load, rude motherfucker!!!!

[kacekwl]

31. 1000 bucks that shirt was made in Viet Nam.

Giant jerkoffs.

[Feeling the Bern]

33. Cenk showed more restraint than I would have!

[rockfordfile]

46. Same thought on that

[Onyrleft]

34. I have irrefutable proof

that Alex Jones is conspiring with dryer lint to turn white America into Astrozombies who will serve as forced labor to make rubber duckies for the ghost of Harvey Lembeck. My DVD is available that will reveal the suppressed information that will save you from this fate. It's just $39.95. Isn't that a small price to pay for your freedom?

[Midnight Writer]

37. My conspiracy minded view? Alex Jones is a DEBUNKER of conspiracy theories.

Example; I think there are many unanswered questions about the September 11 terror attacks, including info our government is intentionally withholding. Alex Jones steps up and uses his media power to declare that the Twin Towers were destroyed by particle beams fired from a satellite in outer space.

Conversation shut down.

Example; I think that governments and bankers around the globe are knowingly making money from the international illegal drug trade. Alex Jones steps up with his theory that lizard like aliens from outer space are masquerading in human form and controlling the world drug trade.

Conversation shut down.

Example; I think that there are rich and powerful interests that favor fascist type government in what are now democratic republics. Alex Jones steps up and claims that German Nazis (including Adolph Hitler himself) escaped Germany in submarines and built an underground base in the Antarctic where they are secretly controlling the world's business affairs.

Conversation shut down.

See a pattern here?

[zebonaut]

38. Vile Despicable Childish and Brutish Right Wingers.

[Enrique]

40. where was security?

TV hosts are left to fend for themselves when someone barges on their live set?

I hope Jones is banned from any situation where he can do this again.

[Rhiannon12866]

43. That's an awfully good question!

When I went to see The Daily Show, everyone had to go through metal detectors. And they went through my purse! And I'm not exactly known for threatening people...

[mucifer]

44. I think they have a whole bunch of radio and tv shows next to each other

It's not like they are in a studio. They are at the convention. They all got searched and screened before coming in to the convention. alex jones and that other fool had their press credentials. It was just assumed press people would respect each other.

[rockfordfile]

45. Jones and Stone are just un-American right wing idiots

[Initech]

47. To call Alex Jones a "horse's ass" is an insult to horse's asses.

[byronius]

48. I smell total desperation from frightened rightwingers.

It's what they do when they know they're done for -- try to bully their way back.

But no. That's not going to work. They can bully, they can wave their AR-15's, they can threaten -- but history is done with Republicans. Off you go, dickheads, into the haze of rump party dissolution.
