I think there's a feeling that NDT is representing himself as some sort of ambassador for "science" when quite a few pro-science people find him a bit pompous. Or maybe there's more vitriol because a lot of people used to like him and have now changed their minds.

With Alex Jones, he's just someone that no one with half a brain could take seriously. Of course he's an ass, but also that's just kind of a given.
