As a good illustration of how extremism on the right is amplified and extremism on the left is ignored, compare all the noise over Jones' appearance to the defeaning silence that greeted this:

Of course, Infowars is silly to believe that this represents an actual threat. But while all these sensible "moderates" seem to be greatly amused by the thought of shooting Alex Jones, Jones wasn't openly fantasizing about violence beyond wanting to punch Piers Morgan in the face (nothing that St. Jeremy Clarkson didn't already do, and he didn't even wear a boxing glove).  It takes a lot of fucking crazy to out-crazy Infowars.

Am I missing something? Because I thought american media portrayed Obama as far left...
