Compare "Credulous Personality Disorder (formerly Pseudoneurotic Gullibility):"
"The lifetime prevalence of Credulous Personality Disorder has been reported to be between 0.1% and 99.9% in the general population, but it is not known whether such reports can be trusted since there is evidence to suggest that a large number of these studies were performed by researchers suffering from the disorder. At present, it seems safe to say that the disorder is very common in the general population (perhaps approaching 100%). The severity of the symptoms, however, differ dramatically across individuals. It seems that the disorder is very common in both in-patient psychiatric settings and out-patient mental-health clinics, but it rarely represents the presenting disorder. Many clinicians also suffer from Credulous Personality Disorder, which makes diagnosis and treatment of the disorder very difficult. These clinicians not only tend to believe the overly credulous pronouncements of their clients, they also are much more likely to believe that untested or falsified treatment modalities actually work.... In almost all cases, Credulous Personality Disorder has a chronic course. Few remissions of symptoms have been observed in people who are fully or partially conscious. In the few cases of recovery that have been reported, there is reason to suspect that the reporting clinicians were suffering from the disorder and, thus, the accuracy of their reports can be questioned."
Presumably this diagnosis would apply to partisans who believe their preferred politicians' promises that another government program will solve everything.

A real Internet radio badass would have covered the posse comitatus and ended the broadcast screaming, "Die, motherfucker, fucking die!" and ripping apart an Obama cut out with automatic weapons fire.
Ah, the Amerika the founding fathers envisioned!

This guy is a business man.
Jones might be a nutjob, but his facts are still better than your buddy Piers Morgan or Rush Limbaugh. Still haven't seen you address where he has been factually incorrect.

They are all just savvy businessmen, targeting a specific audience. That he is being discussed here there and everywhere is evidence of his acumen.

Hilarious.
The only thing that is sane or curious about video is how many people ONLY see a crazy person screaming, instead of recognizing the many valid points given in his monologue.
This is a sad observation of most people's listening skills today?

This study...
That's as far as I can get in any article that talks about a "Study".
A study has become to mean a Liberal assertion.
I don't even hold them in the same esteem, I held the "Mayan Apocalypse" fear mongering, that the Liberal media got people who play Scientist on TV to tell the world was going to rip apart back in December.

Notice Liberal propaganda ministry always says "Study" so nobody challenges them on their bullshit. If they called it "Research", then people would want to see the facts, instead of listening to opinions.
Reminds of an Asshole talking to me last year, he told me he compiled a "Database". I was impressed, because this guy didn't seem technical. So I asked him, "what Database did you use?"
He said, "Oh no, uh I mean I've been saving emails, that support my research."
I just didn't have the heart to ask him what he called "Research".

"Since comparatively little is known about Anti-Government Phobia at the present time, a government-funded health commission should be set up to oversee, and help focus, future research"
LOL! Brilliant!

Lack of facts and valid points combined with his behavior is why he is a nut job.
We live in a modern democracy where the people can change the government every 2 years. Yet there are people who think the tyrannical government is coming with swat teams to take away their property. This is bizarre and irrational thinking that can only be attributed to paranoia and mental illness.
Use your vote to overthrow the government, not assault weapons that stand no chance against tanks.

Why would you even suggest that citizens would face off against tanks? Like that is a possibility???
Wait, oh yeah.... There was Waco.
Not exactly the kind of thing any of us wants to see ever again.
What will the next crisis be and why would our government ever need to behave that way?

Stalin and Hitler had the same idea too, if you didn't love their big government, than you were sick, and needed to be put into the death camp or gulag.

The government already behaves like this on a daily basis. Ever seen a raid on a raw dairy farmer who was "not in compliance" with the crony FDA laws? Did you see the military style raid on kim.com (founder of megaupload) on his family's house in NZ?
I think too much trust in the government is a mental illness and a sign of lazyness.
Shouldn't he of titled it Government phobia?
A phobia is a fear of something, so anti-government phobia, would be the irrational fear of all these "well educated" statists smuggards that blame tea party people for everything that's wrong all the time.

I claim to be victim of the politicians you dumb motherfuckers are putting into office.
The two Bush wars cost this country thousands of lives, $1.5T of past costs over the previous decade-plus and about that if not more over the next few decades.
Unrestrained free trade and our strong dollar policy has eviscerated the socio-politics here, increasingly making this place a country of haves and have-nots.

Conservatives getting things deregulated in the 1990s and then letting their business buds run free in the 2000s resulted in the US running up a historic debt leverage ratio:

well shit i tried
Reading the title of this thread, I initially thought it was about people who either had a fear of people who had a fear of government or about people who had a fear of being anti government. Shouldn't it just be called government phobia?
