Did "Truthers" get nearly as much coverage in 2002-2003 as "Birthers" have in 2008-2009?

I'm not trying to be provocative or even insightful, I actually can't remember. Does anybody have a way to reach into the memory hole?

1. well, those of us who asked for the Truth about the WTC thing

have been, and continue to be mocked and given no time whatsoever in the MSM, as opposed to 'birthers' who have no case whatsoever and are given near constant coverage.

2. crap, even here on Democratic UNDERFUCKINGROUND...it is sent to a dungeon

so I say NO ... THE BIRTHERS HAVE FREE REIGN IN GD/GDP..THE TRUTHERS ARE INSTANTLY SENT TO THE DUNGEON!!!

3. i don't believe so nt

i paid attention. even here on DU the discussion would be sent to the dungeon.

4. Not even close.

5. The Troofers had to resort to pissing-off Bill Maher. Fuck no.

Code Pink couldn't get on TV unless they got arrested.

6. No. Not from our corporate media. n/t

7. Not usually a conspiracy theorist, but I still think those fuckers had something to do with it.

And I don't believe the "Truthers" got anywhere near the coverage as the "Birthers".

8. Remember how Daniel Hopsicker & Michael Ruppert were constantly on cable news shows in 2002-03?

No?

Me neither.

Not. One. Fucking. Time.

The comparison is ludicrous.

I know you're not trying to be provocative, I'm just saying anyone else trying to draw an analogy is WAY off base.
