Why do you guys keep saying Alex Jones invented the Sandy Hook hoax story?

Within 30 minutes of any national event such as Sandy Hook you can see videos on YouTube talking about how it was a hoax/false flag/whatever.

Disgusting, too-stupid-to-breathe people. Unfortunately they exist.

Nearly every conspiracy is just that; a conspiracy. A nonsensical claim that can only stand when held up by a sufficient level of paranoia.

People used to think the USS Maine was set fire by the US government to justify the Spanish American war. Odds are, many posters will have to look that up to even follow what I'm talking about. The reason: it was a nonsensical story, made up to generate hype and supported by crazy people.


Some people simply can't grasp that sensationalist communication styles and truth are two different things - and correlate negatively besides.

All you want is to continue with your histrionics and make things up about the reasons why people are discussing Sandy Hook.

There are a lot of Alex Jones/InfoWars fans on here. He is the one responsible for starting rumors that the shooting was staged, alleging that the murder of 26 people, including 20 children, was faked.
No it's a sad ridiculous and hurtful conspiracy theory.

The fact that Cons are on this PR campaign about "Fake News" yet worship at the altar of Trump favorites like conspiracy monger Alex Jones tells you all you need to know about conservatives and Trump.

ZERO CREDIBILITY.

again, jones' direct quotes:

" the whole thing [ sandy hook ] is a giant hoax and the problem is how do you deal with a total hoax? how do you convince the public something is a hoax?"


" it took me about a year to come to grips that the whole thing was fake."

Denial is the first feeling to creep in when events are too horrible to comprehend.

No, Sandy Hook was not a hoax. Maybe I'd be better off if I believed it was.

Playing devil's advocate here but the video belongs to the public. The taxpayers of Connecticut bought it. It's theirs.

Again, if you believe in this whole idea that we are the government and they serve us.
