'Freedom lover' behind 'Obama Joker' posters

If you're offended by the startling images of U.S. President Barack Obama smeared with clown makeup posted around Toronto, American libertarian radio talk show host and "alternative news" blogger Alex Jones says brace yourself.
"People are getting more aggressive because they realize being nice isn't getting them anywhere," said Jones, 35. "This is just the beginning."
