Dear Editor, Alex Jones is a Nazi turd – an arrogant, narcissistic, megalomaniacal, power-mad, piece of filth – an Auslander, a foreigner, a punk, a fake! Alex Jones is a bucket of feces, a piece of trash! Alex Jones is a fascistic boot-licker, a pathological liar, a pus bag! Alex Jones represents everything that's wrong with America! Alex Jones is a Nazi death-camp operator, a eugenicist, a sociopath! Alex Jones is a total bloodthirsty murdering invading criminal! Alex Jones is a deep occultist, an adherent of Adolph Alios Hitler! Alex Alios Jones ... Adolph Alios Hitler! If I sound deranged, it's because those are not my words. I was using Alex Jones' own words against him. Those nasty names are direct quotations from Jones' InfoWars show on PACT/ACTV. They are all things Alex has called people – mostly innocent people. So Noam Chomsky is a “mongoloid idiot.” Our mayor is a “pathological liar.” Bono of U2 is a “little idiot,” “a globalist, an Illuminist.” One of our former mayors was “a police-state maven.” The governor is “effeminate.” Arnold Schwarzenegger is a “Nazi turd.” I myself “represent everything wrong with America.” It goes on forever – a breathtaking legacy of verbal slime. "Nazi turd," indeed. Alex Jones has been feeding at the public trough of our community access channels for about 10 years now. In this time he has almost certainly called you and everyone you know a Nazi or a fool. We've got to get this guy off of PACT. Please e-mail the City Council immediately and demand they throw Alex Jones off of PACT. And don't give me any First Amendment jive. Free speech does not cover incontinent slander. Alex has totally shredded his First Amendment rights through prolonged abuse. Call the City Council now, or you're a Nazi turd.

[Louis Black responds: When it comes to any of our basic freedoms (affirmed but not bestowed by the Bill of Rights) the most dangerous word I can think of is "but." As in "I'm in favor of free speech but ...." I'm not citing the First Amendment here, but free speech is an element crucial to a healthy society. In order to defend free speech we must be most militant about protecting the speech that we disagree with the most. It's not "even if we find it the most offensive" but especially if we find it so. Listen to the flying right wing of the Republican Party. "We believe in free speech, but 1) since we have the right, and soldiers died to preserve those rights, how dare we speak out against the war; 2) you have to be prepared to suffer the consequences; 3) it shouldn't offend me; and/or 4) what you're saying about Iraq is treason. It gives aid and comfort to our enemies." Let's work to bring more voices to the public discourse and not try to shut any of them up.]
