(Houston Chronicle) Alex Jones — a man best known for claiming the Sept. 11th terrorist attacks were an inside job and hosting Charlie Sheen’s phone-in program of choice — led a group of about 100 people, initially, to the wrong chamber as they protested the failure of the anti-pat down bill Wednesday afternoon.

After discovering their error, they left the House and headed over to the Senate, the chamber the measure is stuck in. There, Jones claimed that the state senators had sold out the country to foreign banks, were “enemies of the Republic of Texas and the Republic of the United States” and had sided with “King George III.”

As the small crowd listened to his speech — some of them wearing t-shirts that declared, “911 was an inside job” or “Live Free or Die” and they held signs that exclaimed “NO TSA Gropers” — several of them followed the radio host in chanting “resistance is victory.”

Jones, in a shrieking voice, complained about TSA officials of “groping children.” He also complained about the “new world order.”

Cross then implored the crowd to go to Senators offices and “tell their little boyfriends” (who are, apparently, blackmailing the Senators about their sexuality in order to prevent them from acting in the interest of the nation) to vote in favor of the ban on pat downs.

When asked about the demonstration, Sen. Dan Patrick said that he was pleased that Texans had turned out to protest the failure of his anit-pat down legislation, but said that Jones was in no way affiliated with him.

“I don’t know who Alex Jones is… No idea,” Patrick said.

Later, Jones led what had almost become a mob from the Senate to the House because one of Jones’ supporters said that a member of the House staff hadn’t expressed concern about the pat downs.

One of the members of the crowd identified one of the doormen who stand of the House, who are typically instructed not to say much of anything to people, had made the remarks.

Jones and his cohorts, then proceeded to chase the doorman around the capitol dome and then yelled at the young man for the offense of not showing great enough concern for their cause.

“You think we’re your slaves,” Jones yelled at the doorman.

“You think you’re going to use big government to have your way with us, you parasite?! You’re going to be defeated!,” his yells devolving into screams.

He promised to bring 50,000 people to the Capitol next time.
