Infowars Versus Faux News

Alex Jones takes on neo-con blogger Michelle Malkin in Denver

If they’d publicized it in advance, they could have sold tickets. Alex Jones versus Michelle Malkin on the streets of Denver.

Neo-con blogger turned Fox News reservist Malkin, whose political analysis is so spot-on that she had to issue an errata for her book In Defense of Internment, had been hanging around the outside of the Democratic National Convention. That’s where Austin’s own conspiracy theory connoisseur spotted his nemesis. Well, one of his many nemeses, frankly, and started dragging her over the coals about, well, pretty much everything she has ever done, written, or espoused politically.

“You think you’re going to get your message across by shouting?” asked one cameraman (who obviously had never met Jones.)

“Absolutely,” replied Jones. Malkin then asked Jones to stop shouting. Jones replied by asking her to stop supporting torture. Seriously, go get popcorn. This is awesome.

More Malkin YouTube goodness below the fold.
