Alex Jones Downplays Connection To “Boston Bomber”

Source: buzzfeed.com

WASHINGTON — Alex Jones is not surprised that the media is reporting that Boston bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev was a fan of his Infowars website, he told BuzzFeed on Tuesday.
<snip>
Jones — whose site has peddled conspiracy theories about the Boston Marathon bombing and suggested that Tsarnaev is innocent — conceded that Tsarnaev "may have actually been a listener."
"He could be a listener," Jones said. "It could be true. I've talked to the family and most of them are listeners. My show is anti-terrorism and my show exposes that most of the events we've seen have been provocateured."

Lots of people who do these things are driven by their beliefs in various CTs.

You have McVeigh, the holocaust museum shooter, the guys who shoot cops because they think Obama will take their guns away, religious delusions.... It's why loons spend a lot of time trying to convince us that these things aren't done by loons.

The stupider he sounds, the more people associate republicans and Teabaggers with him.
