All Alex Jones did was talk about the Sandy Hook crisis actor and Pizzagate conspiracy theories from the perspective of someone who thought they might be legit. Then he got his ass sued because supposedly by doing that he was encouraging morons who sent some of the families involved in Sandy Hook threats and that guy who was planning to shoot up the Comit Ping Pong pizza place, even though he never told anyone to do any such thing (and no, his generic
"1776 will commence" rants don't count as direct incitement). Don't expect that standard to ever be applied in the other direction, where simply reporting on something dubious that might anger people makes you responsible for what someone in your audience might do.

I can understand going from libertarian
to fascist, but claiming to be both at the same time? They aren't compatible. Like, at all.
I'd like to point out that this goes both ways. Many anti-government groups cite Eustace Mullins or people basing their own work off of his, and sometimes wackier antisemites and Nazi apologists turn up as well. Of course Mullins' most famous work that anti-government groups like to cite doesn't name the Jew, but one could easily go from Secrets of the Federal Reserve to the rest of his bibliography and it's not hard to see where that leads. So this is a bit of a chicken or the egg situation.
