Alex Jones has jumped the shark.

I know, I know, he already has, but he really has jumped off the deep end with this racist drivel.

"I'm gonna kill you you whitey?"
Dialogue straight out of a 70's Blaxploitation movie.

Alex Jones: Obama Is Promoting Black Youths To Kidnap White Girls

New World Order proponent Alex Jones says that Obama is giving black youths the green light to kidnap white women.

Ben Stein's ludicrous assumption that Obama is the most racist president ever has inspired conspiracy huckster Alex Jones to take that one step further. He is promoting the age old racist trope that black men are coming for your white women, only this time he's saying President Obama is giving black youths the green light to kidnap your women.

Alex Jones is the sort of person the Secret Service would have wrestled to the ground in earlier eras...but the modern Republican Party's madters will stoop lower.

6. Classic Goebbels. Accuse others of what you do, the more outrageous, the more it is true.

So the massive racism of the Republican party and Fox News is deflected by accusing the target of the racism as being the truly outrageous racist....but it is backfiring, the folks have gotten the Fearbola bug and are heading to the polls to cast out the witchcraft and propaganda spells.

Maybe the fear mongering fuckers cried wolf once too often, too far from Election Day, the Villager folk got wind of the lie too soon.

7. Maybe it's an homage to the Car Talk guys?

Remember Tom and Ray's two guys theory of "out there" thinking? One guy, by himself, will only go so far in diagnosing some tough car problem. But if there's another guy, he'll encourage the first guy and maybe advance the thinking a little further out there on the limb. Then the first guy picks it up, and goes even further out on the limb, and so on until they're spinning crazy ideas about gremlins in the clutch housing.

This sounds like Ben and Alex are doing a Car Guys routine. Look for Stein to come back with something even stupider, but don't be surprised if someone else (looking at you, Glenn Beck) weighs in with ever more lunatic thinking.

It's the double-face palm of shark jumping.

9. Alex Jones is the garbage in the 12 trash cans that Fonzie jumped in his first stunt. To compare him

to Fonzie jumping the shark is invalid. His shit show was never as successful as Happy Days.
