The far-right can't hide its disdain for a parody of one of their own, while plenty of others had no problem enjoying the jokes.

The Onion released its first clip of the new and, for many, improved Infowars since taking it over. The parody news site released a skit on Saturday by Comedian Tim Heidecker where he imitates conspiracy theorist Alex Jones and his too-loud, raspy voice, and pretends to sip human blood to mock Jones' frequent hawking of questionable health supplements.

Jones, a right-wing television personality and court-adjudicated conspiracy theorist, took to social media over the weekend to issue an alert about InfoWars being shuttered.

“Appellant does not argue that his appeal waiver was not knowing, intelligent, and voluntary, and he has not shown that the waiver is otherwise unenforceable,” the ruling reads. “Consequently, this court will enforce the appeal waiver and dismiss this appeal.”...

There must be something about InfoWars correspondent Dan Bidondi that invites scorn, ridicule, and profanity.

New Hampshire state Rep. Stella Tremblay (R-Auburn) believes that Alex Jones' website Infowars has revealed the truth behind the Boston Marathon bombings.
