It took the parents of two slain boys to extract a long-awaited — albeit partial — admission from a notorious radio talk-show host and conspiracy theorist.

Alex Jones has been yapping and yammering since 2012 that the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre of 20 children and six teachers didn’t happen. It was a hoax, he said, and the parents of the children have been portrayed by “actors.”

He’s now been sued for at least $1 million by the parents of Jesse Heslin and Noah Pozner, two of the children slaughtered. They are suing for defamation relating to Jones’s continual idiocy. According to WHSU Public Radio: The lawsuit alleges Jones’s misinformation led conspiracy theorists to make death threats against the families of shooting victims.

Now we hear that Jones has gone on YouTube to say the shooting did occur. But here’s another kicker: Jones contends the plaintiffs are being used by the Democratic Party and the news media and he has invited them to appear on his show to discuss guns.

Sure thing, Goofball. That’ll happen.

I cannot know how this lawsuit will play out. Jones might settle for a lot of money before it ever goes to court. That would be OK with me.

The parents of those precious children and the loved ones of the heroes who died trying to protect them from the madman who opened fire in Newtown, Conn., deserve significant remuneration from the source of those moronic rants.

To my way of thinking, Jones had better get ready to dig deeply into his pockets. He is going to owe those parents a lot of money.
