Alex Jones on Piers Morgan Tonight, Jan. 7, 2013
Nuttier than squirrel crap
Jan. 8, 2013 - Man, this is hot stuff. Alex Jones was on Piers Morgan Tonight yesterday, and sparks flew.Here is the full video of that encounter, below, which was taped in CNN's studios in New York.
It was one of the best drubbings that Morgan has experienced since rock legend and gun rights advocate Ted Nugent kicked his arse back in May, 2011.
There was a table between Morgan and Nugent, but on Monday there was no barrier between Jones and Morgan. They sat inches away from each other, and for much of the encounter Morgan actually looked frightened, as though he feared that Jones would physically attack him at any moment.
Unfortunately, Jones came of (as usual) as a complete nutter. He's one of those guys who, no matter what he says, it tends to sound crazy. His verbal style is, well, crazy. But the fact is that Jones is a dishonest fear-mongering opportunistic egoist, with a delusional paranoid personality that is either real or very well feigned. VIDEO BELOW.
Ted Nugent on Piers Morgan Tonight, CNN.
"Suck my machine gun."
Dec. 24, 2012 - Here is the full 29-minutes of Piers Morgan's interview of Ted Nugent on CNN on May 19, 2011 (video below). Legendary rock star, hunter and gun enthusiast Nugent held his own in the discussion, effectively destroying the British fop's weak arguments against the Second Amendment. This interview seems even more poignant today, in the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, CT on Dec. 14, 2012.
The interview is wide-ranging. The good stuff - the fireworks - starts at 10:30 minutes into the video. The verbal exchange was good-natured intense, but Nugent was in no mood to take Morgan's liberal spewings without hitting back. Nugent is often underestimated by people who assume he's an ignorant redneck rock 'n' roller, but as he has proven so many times, he again proved that he has a strong command of statistics and history. Nugent doesn't mince his words, either.
"Anybody who wants to disarm me can drop dead," Nugent told Morgan. "Anybody who wants to make me unarmed and helpless, people that want to literally create the proven places where more innocents are killed, called 'gun-free zones,' we're gonna beat you. We're gonna vote you out of office. Or, suck on my machine gun. You can take it whichever way you like."
Morgan's weak come back: "Much as I'd love to suck on your machine gun, the whole point of your defense is a lot of people do drop dead precisely because you are armed to the teeth, much as you would like everyone else to be."
"Not true at all," said Nugent. "Piers, break this down. See, you're so British..."
"No, you write this down," Morgan interrupted, "80 people a day die in America from gunshots."
Nugent to Morgan: Kiss my ass.
"And 75 of them, to 78 of them, statistics by the Uniform Crime Report by the FBI and the UN Study on Violent Crime, 78 of those 80 are let out of their cages by corrupt judges and prosecutors who know the recidivism is out of control, know that they'll commit their crimes again, and they let them walk. From plea bargaining, early release and programs. Kiss my ass! Where you have the most armed citizens in America you have the lowest violent crime rate. Where you have the worst [strictest] gun control you have the highest crime rate. Piers, choose one. Do you want a lot of crime? We have it, gun-free zones. Do you want less crime? We have that. More people with concealed weapons permits. Why do you guys resist [those] statistics?"
Morgan, of course, had no good reply to Nugent citing facts from the FBI and the UN. He could not comprehend Nugents facts. Instead, he took the well-worn Liberal anti-intellectual path of letting his feeling overrule reality. No wonder Morgan's ratings are in the basement.
Morgan asked Nugent, in an accusatory question, if he wanted everyone in America to have a gun.
"What I want," said Nugent, "is the Second Amendment. We the people, free individuals, have the right to keep and bear arms for self defense. Find fault with that."
"Well, I can find lots of fault with that," replied British citizen Piers Morgan. "You end up with what happened with [Congresswoman] Gabby Gifford in Tuscson."
"That guy," Nugent said, referring to Jared Loughner, the man who shot Gifford, "went through the cracks of the mental health system."
I won't spoil your fun by giving away any more of the conversation. It is well worth watching the full interview. It was relevant in 2011. Now, at the end of 2012 and with the gun-control debate at a fever pitch, it is even more relevant. Sadly, the anti-gun crowd comes at the issue with cherry picked statistics and a lot of emotion, clouding their ability to reason and use logic. Like many of the ignorant Leftists who oppose the Second Amendment, Piers Morgan has cited his native Britain as a model for gun control as a way to reduce violence. That's amazing, because the facts and numbers show that strict gun control in the UK has had exactly the opposite effect. Like Nugent said, "Do you want a lot of crime? We have it, gun-free zones."
Anderson Cooper of CNN has come out of the closet to admit that he is an albino. "Pigment challenged, actually," Cooper said at a press conference today.
UPDATED 2024: He's still an albino.
Anderson Cooper is a lifelong albino
Cooper doesn't mind the term "albino," but thinks it carries too many negative connotations thanks to Hollywood's portrayals of albino people as evil freaks. It's "all about albino pride," he said.
"Albino-American is kind of nice too," he said, "although I guess we're not really an ethnic group. We should be, though." He went to point out that albinism is nothing to fear and is not contagious. "You cannot catch albinism," he said, "no matter how hard you try."
Albinism, or "hypopigmentation," is not a laughing matter, says Cooper. It's a genetic disorder that has no cure. "I'm not aware of any 5K runs to help fight albinism, are you?" he asked rhetorically.
Albinism is not a fatal disorder, it does make it difficult for albino animals to blend in with their surroundings. "The up side, though," chuckled Cooper, "is that we're more visible to drivers at night."
He said that revealing his albinism makes him feel "more free to be myself," and that he can now "stop wearing blue contact lenses to hide my albino condition."
Some people are shocked by his pink eyes when they first see them, but Cooper just gives his award-winning smile and tells them to "think pink."
Most people, he says, do not have a problem with his eyes. "They match the rest of me," he says, "which is so obviously lacking any pigmentation that my pink eyes just seem more normal, if you will." That's why he wears blue contact lenses on air.
"Didn't everyone already suspect that Anderson was an albino?" asked one of the reporters at the press conference. "I mean, come on," she said.
December 1, 2011 - Herman Cain's attorney Lin Wood stood his ground nicely this evening as a guest on "Piers Morgan Tonight" (CNN). Effete Leftist water boy Morgan interviewed Wood, concentrating on the recent allegations by Ginger White of having a 13-year "affair" with Cain. Morgan, unhappy that Wood was not caving in, was contentious and actually called him "naive" more than once. Morgan seemed unable to comprehend Wood's repeated argument that none of the accusations against Cain have been proven to be true.
"I'm sorry if you find me naive," Wood said, "or if you find my statements about Mr. Cain preposterous." Referring to What I find naive is the failure on the part of the members of the media to be asking the tough questions of the accusers.
Wood said several times that the media should be asking equally tough questions of the women who are accusing Cain of wrongdoing, Morgan kept shifting from feigned indignity to partial stupor. Great back-and-forth here, worth watching. Lin Wood held his ground nicely.
Hot Video: Wow, I don't often agree with Jack Cafferty, but he hit the nail on the head with this op-ed. Speaking on CNN's "Situation Room" recently, Cafferty lambasted Obama and Democrats in Congress for their hypocritical criticism of Arizona's recently passed tough immigration law. Said Cafferty, "Washington's position on illegal immigration is patently dishonest from the top down. No enforcement, no border security, just pandering to Hispanic voters and the corporations that hire the illegals." He went on to say that when Arizona, a state "being ravaged by the presence of 460,000 illegal aliens inside its borders does something about it, the President says that's misguided. What a shame." Cafferty chastised Obama by saying, "What's misguided, Mr. President, is the Federal Government's ongoing refusal to enforce the laws that are already on the books. Read the Arizona law. Parts of it are word-for-word the same as the federal statutes, which continue to be all but ignored."
