Infowars.com founder Alex Jones heckles FOX News commentator Michelle Malkin as she tried to take a photograph of the Denver Mint during a protest on Monday.

DENVER - Alex Jones, an organizer with a national conspiracy theory group, chased controversial Fox News reporter Michelle Malkin from a student-organized protest at the Denver Mint Monday, accusing her of advocating that U.S. citizens be detained at Guantanamo Bay.

The CU-Denver Student who organized the protest followed Jones and Malkin down the block with a bullhorn, yelling, "Peace, not war."

The protest, called "Shake Your Money Maker," was organized to levitate the mint building -- lift it up and shake out its contents -- and decry capitalism.

Jones' presence at the protest disrupted the message and drew nearly all the media attention from the demonstration, as reporters followed Jones when he chased Malkin nearly two blocks down Colfax Avenue, calling her a "monster." Spagnuolo said the intention of the protest was to stop the mint from printing money for a week.

"How often does the United States stop making money?" he said to the crowd of about 70 protesters.

I certainly have to agree with you, Michelle. She claims that she's doing the job "White men refuse to do." What job is that?

She also stated, in defense of the Iraqi occupation, that the video that showed a U. (Continued…)

Michelle Malkin is a Neocon mouthpiece, and a liar. Alex Jones is reporting the truth. See and hear him at www dot inforwars dot com.
