RAWSTORY — Right-wing radio host Alex Jones posted a report online today in which he urged listeners to seriously consider the truth behind Joan Rivers' statement that Barack Obama is the first gay president because his wife, Michelle, is a "->-bleeped-<-."

Does anyone think these professional bloviators actually believe half the crap that comes out of their mouths? 

I mean, I could probably be convinced to say some pretty stupid-ass sh*t if there was a fat enough paycheck involved.  As long as there's money to be grabbed, there will be media whores to grab it.

LOL! Of course Alex Jones thinks there's actually something to those comments Joan Rivers made. The man is utterly obsessed with conspiracy theories. His entire living has been made off of them. I'd hardly consider this a "new low."

Alex Jones is a first class, grade A moron and BS artist. I can't believe that he not only has stuck around but thrived considering the stunt that he pulled back on New Years Eve 1999 when he attempted to convince his listening audience that we were going to be nuked by Russia and some people actually believed him.

I have just enough right wing friends to keep me up on crap like this.  Reading it is another example of how uneducated people view transgender and those markers some of us dread.  Yes, I do have big hands and they give me a grip on the reality that some would rather ignore.

Obviously them saying a trans woman is less of a woman (or "really" a man) than a cis woman is transphobic...but I can't help but find this whole thing hilarious. I mean, wtf, who thinks of this stuff? Why transgender of all things? And what is it about this that made someone else pick it up and keep it going? hahaha.

Alex Jones is a sucker for conspiracies. He's probably the only person who would have taken Joan Rivers' poor excuse for a joke seriously. Well, I hope.

Naw, not just Alex Jones. I can't wait to see if Fritz Springmeier makes something of this and starts making the predictable allegations that the Obamas are subjects of Marie Antoinette programming and are Alpha Monarch Slaves and are being cajoled by the Luciferian Illuminati into giving ~teh gaysss~ rights.

Can Luciferians even be cohesive enough to form an Illuminati? None of the Luciferians I've met are even remotely capable of getting along with each other.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Alex Jones has never been particularly trans-friendly or educated about trans issues.  I don't know if he is actually anti-trans, but I do seem to remember him making comments that weren't favorable towards trans people.

I think the bigger issue is that Alex Jones is anti-reality and has many who believe every word he says.

This is the same dude who believes that there's a conspiracy to make children gay by adding estrogen to the lining of juice boxes. The man is mentally ill.
