Good news! Happy to see this lying asshat isn't winning in court.

Families of Sandy Hook shooting victims win legal victory in lawsuit against InfoWars, Alex Jones

Six families of victims killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School won a legal victory Friday in their fight against controversial radio and internet personality Alex Jones.

A judge in Connecticut has granted the families’ discovery requests, allowing them access to, among other things, InfoWars’ internal marketing and financial documents. The judge has scheduled a hearing next week to decide whether to allow the plaintiffs’ attorneys to depose Jones.​

I hope they milk that asshat for all he's worth. People like him make money off of misrepresenting things for profit and don't care who they hurt. Now if someone could just go after Limbaugh and Coulter for all the strife they've stirred up in the name of their own profit. And then there's Fox News.

Did I say this? No, I did not. What I did say is that I think the man is disturbed. Should I explain what I mean here to you?

I thought he claimed his thing was all an act in court once already?

The worst part is Jones knows exactly what he is doing.....Trying to cover for his creep is inexcusable....But under trump regime even some Neo Nazis are fine people , good people

Some of Jones's listeners , followers actually harassed the families of Sandy Hook on the street......If it was my family I can honestly say my response to that would be violent and brutal

Good for the judge, hope they find enough to nail that dirtbag to the wall.

I'd have to Google; I don't keep up much with crazed conspiracy theorists.

Not on any attack or such, but disturbed can have many meanings

Look it up......Or do they electricity in the State of Jefferson?

Its customary for the person who is making the assertion to show some sort of source.

With all the politically and profit motivated fake victim reports these days I like to see real proof, and their word is not proof.

I never heard of Alex Jones until years after Sandyhook. I do remember watching the news in the days after the shooting and being grossed out at how some of the parents were actually using the deaths of their own children for political ideology advancement. They defiantly seemed like the types to make allegations up.

I'm pretty sure that most understood that my delicate phrasing meant "bat-**** crazy." ;)

I think you're wrong on this one Mr. Saladin. I believe nota bene is trying to say that his mental illness may be the primary factor behind his statements. I don't she's absolving him of being a liar, as there are instances where one can say he has lied. However, mental illness may make the statements he makes exponentially worse than whatever lies you think he has said.

Of course, that statement isn't based on any existing diagnosis of Jones' mental health. It also ignores the planning involved in his shows, as he has to research this information, and then come up with whatever he feels is an appropriate theory for the 'facts' he uses to make up his arguments. 'Facts' which his followers then read up on, and repost all over the web - even here on our very own Debate Politics.

Repostings which usually come with easily searchable links which they not only agree with, but that they also want others to believe in. Hell, if you typed up 'infowars' on the search function you'd find a lot of conservatives nota often agrees with. You might even find me making fun of the guy and his supporters cause they want to pick and choose when that broken clock is right.

So what is my conclusion? It's that you're wrong. This should be about the insulting way he has treated those parents. There is simply no other person on television who meets the level of craziness Alex Jones sells, and many people on both sides - but mostly the right - think possitively of the guy. There are idiots on the left who probably agree with his views on vaccines, but overall the man is a product of right wing myths and nuttiness.

I disagree.....Jones knows "exactly" what he is doing...He is in to make money....He is a deranged scum bag but not somebody to be pitied...By any means....The Parents know this and so do their lawyers
