Paleoconservative conspiracist radio host Alex Jones has, well, captured the nation's imagination after yelling at Piers Morgan that "1776 will commence again if you try to take our firearms!"
Pennsylvania's leading right-wing figure, state Rep. Daryl Metcalfe, appeared on Jones' show in 2010.
Notably, Metcalfe failed to respond to Jones' assertion that "Israeli art students" were involved in the 9/11 attacks and then in Nevada undertaking surveillance against the National Security Agency. Metcalfe, as I discussed in my 2012 profile, has led the charge to dismantle gun control and implement voter ID in this state. And he has ties to the far right and white supremacists.
Metcalfe's agenda has made him a number of friends and fans on the political fringe. In October 2010, he decided to appear on the radio show of popular conspiracist Alex Jones, who believes that 9/11 was an "inside job"; who promotes the idea that Obama and a secret global cabal of bankers is going to round up Americans in FEMA-operated concentration camps before setting into motion a eugenics plan that will wipe out 80 percent of the human population via poisoned food; and who claims to "have the government documents where they said they're going to encourage homosexuality with chemicals so that people don't have children."
During his appearance, Metcalfe did not contest Jones' statement that "federal Homeland Security is fully infiltrated" by the Israeli government and that "Israeli art students" involved in the 9/11 attacks were now in Nevada undertaking surveillance against the National Security Agency. Instead, Metcalfe responded that Obama and other political enemies "embrace these socialist leftist policies of the Eastern Bloc nations that when I was in the military, we were prepared to go to war against during the Cold War."
Watch the Jones-Metcalfe interview here:
Just because Rep. Metcalfe insist upon illegal immigration, and speaks at speaking events where others have racist views, doesn't mean that he share the views of the other speakers.
Furthermore, look at the many, many times that Morgan has yelled at his guest, such as Larry Pratt, or John R. Lott, Jr. Why should the Alex Jones event count as something that is unusual for the Morgan program?
When it comes to the events of 911, what can I say: two planes hit, yet three buildings collapsed that faithful day. Remember, building7! Do the math! 16,000 architects and engineers agree there are questions, some of them are working Philadelphia. Why aren't these professionals consulted on the issue? This not conspiracy theory, it's fact. For more information visit: http://www.ae911truth.org/— Robert Taylor- Sorry I meant, "Rep. Metcalfe insist upon legal immigration".— Robert Taylor
