There are two types of actors in the world: good ones and bad ones. A good one can make an audience forget he’s even acting, while a bad one reminds them every second that he’s putting on a performance.
Antigay conspiracy theorist Alex Jones definitely falls under the latter category, especially after this…
This week, Jones got a little too into playing a crazed hate monger on his radio show. The 43-year-old loony tune was pretending to be furiously upset over a New York Times article published back in May that talks about the growing trend of drag queens reading stories to children at public libraries.

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“They show up and they have their way with your children in demon outfits,” Jones rants. “If you’ve got men that look like 400 pound goblin demons with your children, there’s nothing you won’t put up with!”
He becomes increasingly unhinged as he goes on to suggest that drag queens may be aliens from another planet:
Imagine if somebody in a demon outfit showed up next to a baby giraffe and said, ‘Hi, I’m a demon be inclusive don’t be mean to me. Let me wear demon horns and come up and look like a complete alien from another planet.’ Let a space alien–and by the way this is a program–they dress up like space aliens all over the United States and all over the world in horrible demon psychopath outfits that make Pennywise look beautiful!
The temper tantrum climaxes with Jones jumping up from his seat and throwing a chair at his camera crew.

Watch the temper tantrum below. Or don’t.

I believe it’s this thing which upset him: http://i.4cdn.org/pol/1508184921172.jpg

Then he is as small minded and ignorant as you are.

I’m sorry, I got that wrong…you are as small-minded, ignorant, and simple as he is! Whew…glad I got that cleared up. I feel much better. 🙂

Lvng1Tor,
Okay… seriously, open your eyes.
mhoffman953 didn’t say anything about it… merely posted a link.
As a member of the LGBT community, I can look at that picture and say “that’s f’d up!”, without any sense of self-righteousness, irony or hate.
And that picture is f’d up. I don’t want to be represented by freaks like that. I don’t want my community to be represented by freaks like that. Freak like that are a bad representation.
I am not small minded. I am far from ignorant. I am not simple. Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence are garish representatives and I would be hesitant about exposing my children to them. Not because they are bad people (they do wonderful charity work)… but instead because I don’t want my children to believe that it’s okay to look like a freak.
IMHO

Unfortunately dsharpark, who ever you really are, we know Miss Hoffman and her hatred of drag queens, transsexuals, and pretty much anything else in the gay community.

@Juanjo
I don’t hate gay people. I am gay. Also, I’m male, so I’m unsure as to why you keep calling me “miss” and “her”. Seems odd that you’ll preach about respecting pronouns but then go ahead and call men by female pronouns. I’m not sure if you think being labeled as a woman is an insult or if your old age is effecting your thinking
Regardless of all of that, you can’t deny that whatever that is in the picture I posted, is frightening

If that’s what has people upset, they better keep their kids home on Halloween.

@Juanjo
My name is Don Sharp. Nice to meet you, “Juanjo” (if that is your real name).
@gaym50ish
Halloween is a celebration where EVERYONE dresses up in costumes for ONE, SPECIFIC DAY. Why don’t you spend a random Sunday explaining to a child that it’s normal for people to dress up like that Sister of Perpetual Indulgence (it’s not a simple “drag queen”)… and then follow that up with trying to explain to them why they can’t go to school dressed up as a pirate on Monday.
@mhoffman953
I agree with a lot of what you say, but that bothers me a little because you come off a little bit like a jerk. Don’t be a jerk. Diplomacy.
@Juanjo
You’re definitely a queeny jerk… whoever you really are.

Jones is a total hysteric.
dsharpark
Yeah, right!?! I just keep waiting for that nutjob to have a heart attack, aneurysm or stroke… I mean, look at him… he’s gotta be high risk for all three. Given time, this is a problem that will take care of itself.
JessPH
That drag queen does look horrendous.
dsharpark
Sister of Perpetual Indulgence
Now you know… and knowing is half the battle! Go Joe!
dsharpark
But yeah… you’re absolutely correct. Hallucinogenically horrendous. Just awful.
