Info-Wars isn't the ALT Right. That title belongs to FOX and Bigotbart. InfoWars is the Conspiracy News Source.

Richard Spencer, who coined the term "alt-right," also voiced his displeasure.

Actually, I miss when Fox was the preferred news source of the right. Nowadays, they're far too mainstream.

Calling FOX mainstream is like calling crack a recreational drug. The network is controlled by a bunch of Oligarchs, and they are anything but mainstream. Remember their promotion of Tea Party rallies, actually going to sites around the country to promote them.

The funniest thing about Fox is that Fox used to be very anti-Trump. Then when it became inevitable that Trump was going to be the nominee...everything changed.
 
It's obvious that Truthers have gone full-bonkers over this. Just look at the threads about the strike. There's a Unabomber Manifesto or two in each.

I despise the alt-right, but I don't think Alex Jones and his infowars nutbags are alt-right.
 


The full video for review.


All those CFR people need to get canned.

It's worse.

Fox >>>>>>>>>>>> Breibart >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> InfoWars.

Not a very scientific assessment, but the gulf is vast.

Linking to an InforWars hack like it means something. :lamo

If he hates Trump, then I guess Trump is a tad less terrible than he seems.

Earning the hate of nutjobs is a good thing.

"nuff said" is right. However, Trump has quoted infowars as legitimate journalism quite often, especially during the campaign So who's the wacko?

Trouble in paradise? Can Trump survive without the alt-right?

This shouldn't really come as a surprise to anyone. Trump spent most of 2013 Tweeting his displeasure about Obama's actions in Syria. Hell, just last week he and Tillerson decided that Syria was on its own. I think Trump is going to start seeing the reality of when his loyal fan base turns on him, like when a quarterback that used to get cheers from screaming football fans all of a sudden starts to suck. It stings.

That said, I fully support what President Trump did in Syria, but there's no question his isolationist promises to his fans are pretty much worth as much as the rest of his promises.

Isn't it funny? Trump brags he was going to bomb ISIS, and his very first Tomahawk Attack bombs the enemies of ISIS. Gawd, we're in a mess. :shock:

There's a fair number of Trumpettes who are big fans of Info Wars. In fact, I'd bet that had they been complimentary, we'd have a few posters here using them as absolute truth. Even in this thread, the video posted showed one of their articles as a "source." That was part of the point here, Trump voters turned on him over the strike, and many of those voters are regular Info Wars listeners.
 
The waning influence of Bannon, about time!!

Speaking of which, where's his plan to defeat ISIS in 30 days? It's been about 70. Is he waiting for something? :Spicer: "Well, he never said which 30 days." Waiting for that quote)

It's interesting that this comes so soon upon the heels of Bannon's removal from the Security Council. It hasn't been a good week for the alt-right.

I don't think it matters to Trump. He was disgusted by the baby killers and their war crimes.

Pelosi and Schumer were both supporting this attack and will do so until the political wind shifts if past history is a guide.

I wonder if Lavrov is laughing at this re-set...

We can probably expect to see more of Putin's pects. Will he be fishing or riding a horse? The world is watching...

It should matter to Trump. He's going to need his coalition if he wants to get re-elected.

As far as Pelosi and Schumer, pols gonna be pols. If the political winds change on it, I'm absolutely certain there will be a few Republicans jumping ship too

Trump knows more about ISIS than the Generals do. I know this because he said it. He's probably spent the last 70 days educating them on all that he knows.

Bannon underestimated Ivanka and her man, I give Bannon another month before he is ejected from the WH. Trumps press coverage is terrible, a shake up is in order, even Trump realizes a shuffle is necessary. The less influence Bannon has over Trump, the better.
 
So many confused Trump supporters, god emperor wears no clothes.

Apparently the plan consists of taking out the nearest airbase used by the Russians and Syrians to combat the ISIS stronghold in Homs.

I don't recall the about faces from the republicans in the same number as the Democrats following the Iraq invasion, but it was comical how this was presented by the Dems.

The Dems would float a trial balloon opposing the war and if it was shot down, they's abandon the approach. Then it was slowly working and they were on the spot to oppose the war.

So they were for it until they were against it.

I think Trump would like to be a 2-termer, but it probably is only a point of pride to him. He likes to win.

His self image is probably more tied to the gold leaf used in the remodel at Mar a Largo than to living in the White house.
