Carl Jackson is a fundie wingnut commentator, radio show host (he may have gotten a bit of a career boost from filling in for Larry Elder during the latter’s California gubernatorial run), and columnist for the WND. We could, in other words, end this entry here, and yes: Jackson is the kind of guy who blames “liberals” for school shootings because they push the separation of church and state thus preventing schools from teaching students how to pray to God (also “You don’t stop evil by banning guns! You stop evil by killing evil people! The left can’t understand this” and yes: we’ll have to admit that we are among those who sort of suspect that ‘kill the evil people’ is unproductive as a guide to combatting violence). That type.
But Jackson has written about a range of issues. For instance, insofar as the 2026 FIFA World Cup is reasonably fresh in mind, we could take a look at Jackson’s take on the 2014 version, in which he basically tries to argue that the World Cup is a plot to bring America down and “advance a globalist mentality” that could lead to “world integration”. Otherwise, Jackson’s programs and columns are characterized by much standard red-baiting, election fraud conspiracy theories and typical wingnut misinformation such as anti-vaccine misinformation. We really can’t be bothered with details.
Diagnosis: There are just too many of this kind of wingnut nonsense factories to remotely keep track, and they all seem to have a number of followers. Carl Jackson is probably not particularly silly, but yes: he is silly.
