I remember talking about the deadly dust killing people in the World Trade Center and they covered it up for decades and now its admitted. They do that and they hold it up. But the First Amendments pretty important but I dont know how theyre going to say Alex Jones is mean, hes making people come be deposed, Alex Jones is mean, hes put P.I.s on the street. Alex Jones is mean. Because see, Im the one under assault. Im the one being misrepresented. Im the one that people are speaking through my voice, holding a picture of me up, and then saying Im saying these things and all Im saying is metaphysically I didnt create this, I didnt start this, so I cant give you quarter. But Ive tried to give the whole thing quarter and have been your biggest ally for years in saying, No, I think it happened. And if Im so dangerous and so bad and so many people listen to me, so many dangerous people, then please dont say that Im saying your children didnt die or that mass shootings dont happen or that Parkland didnt happen or any of this because you know thats not what Ive said, lawyers. And you know I didnt sue the families. And you know I waived attorneys fees that no one has ever done. But, see, just like [special counsel Robert] Mueller does these fake indictments, thats the proof of collusion, its the same thing. File a suit, say the things in the suit, and then say that all of its true.
Umm, Alex? You said that. On tape.

We also found that in another episode, in December 2014, Jones called the shootings "a giant hoax."

(82,849 posts)Instead of further antagonizing your victims, why don't you use your vast media empire to go after the people who parrot your rantings about Sandy Hook? You may have apologized (I don't recall that) and you may have "done it all" (whatever that means), but it seems your fans continue to propagate the hurtful things you said. Why don't you go after them? Why don't you tell them to stop repeating your demented rantings, which you now are trying to disown? Would that take a lot of time? Probably. Would that cost you personally a lot of money? I sincerely hope so. Would it teach you a little lesson in taking responsibility for the irresponsible things you say? That's entirely up to you.
Otherwise, fuck off, Alex.

(11,736 posts)they are so bold, but once the opposition uses market forces to battle back, they start whining and saying that it isn't fair to use their own words against them. They start, FALSLEY, saying that their rights are being trampled. It isn't your rights idiots, it is the market speaking about you being provided a platform and audience to spew your crap. That is not a right. I don't have a radio show or television show. I can't just go on Fox and start talking about progressive values, because it isn't a right. I can go to my city council meeting, to a political forum at my representative's office, my state and US Senator, etc.. and redress my grievances there because that is a RIGHT.
I may have the opportunity to do a radio show or TV show, but it certainly is not my right to have one. The GOVERNMENT is not stopping you from speaking, it is the majority of the people who are willing to stop patronizing your sponsors or visiting websites, or using social media because they no longer want to put up with your shit.
It is private citizens using their right to sue for the damages your vile messages have caused them that are causing your advertisers or people who let you spew on their sites to have second thoughts.
That is democracy, not infringement.
