And even if that is not so, it would be not be difficult for their detractors to portray them as such.

Hire a bunch of people to post online as various people to spew garbage that makes the desired group look like morons.

Hell, the Tea Party was consistently derided in the media while Occupy Wall Street was treated like the second coming of Christ...even though the Tea Party rarely had anything negative to say about how they conducted themselves and OWS were pretty much a bunch of anarchists leaving behind a trail of destruction wherever they went.

Media perception is everything.


You could probably take any culture or group of people online (including, unfortunately, autism) and label them with something harmful. So I see your point. 9/11 truth didn't really have much ground to it outside of the internet though, did it? I personally don't remember them having any sort of formal gathering or any legitimate protest.

??? OWS had about 3% bums * and that is what the media focased on. Many were low level brokers! Also, when camping out one looks ragged and that is what the media focused on.
Of course the media was given orders to destroy OWS because it was threatening their corporate masters.
As for 911 truthers I think their evidence is unconvinceing. However, after the government shredded the constitution by removing our right to a trial, I can believe they are capable of anything.
I think attacking the government is silly. It is like attacking the puppet (government ) as the puppeteer (international corporations, banks etc) laughs.
* Every organization has at least 3% unsavoury members.

The irony is that the tea party began as a reaction to the Wall Street criminals. It was grass roots! Unfortunately, it was taken over by big money (Koch brothers ) and now represents the interests of international corporations (less corporate tax, less regulation of Wall Street etc).
