I stopped visiting Crooks and Liars more than a year ago over this issue, even though I enjoyed their liberal attitude on all other topics. But 9/11 Truth has become my barometer on most everything, from politics to media to personalities.
John Amato also seems to be itching for pundit fame, as I used to notice his brazen hawking of his upcoming media appearances on C&L. but widespread fame seems to have eluded him thus far, and I can’t say I’m sorry about that.
I used to try and slip 9/11 Truth into the open threads before I was banned, and my experience was quite different than you describe. The moderator comments were always arrogant and even personally abusive.
You say it is possible to sneak things in if you are subtle about it, and I do hope things are changing, however slowly, at the site. But I guess I don’t believe one should have to cower and pussyfoot around in order to speak the truth.

Some very good reasons we should bother with KOS

There are some very good reasons we should bother with KOS, using guerrilla tactics against a strong and well financed foe:
1 - They have a large readership; I suspect some are from the mainstream media
2 - You should endeavor to take the fight to the enemy, then fade away when they counter-attack
3 - We can reach many more eyes if we can get things such as this onto KOS, presumably by stealth
4 - They can ban an account, they can delete the post, but the message will have been seen
5 - If it is a well-crafted message, it will make some people think
6 - Not all of those reading KOS are part of the club, they are not all KOSsacks; they may just be strolling past

I intend to expose the above post to my readership. I suggest others do the same. We win by increments. Maybe some day we will will by an exponential growth factor.

And even though I adore Rachel Maddow and Keith Olbermann for their stances on all other issues, neither seems willing to put themselves on the line for 9/11 Truth, which really breaks my heart.
Just goes to show the stranglehold the elite have on the corporate media. Thank God for the internet. Now the game is to keep it and keep it free.

btw, here's a direct link to the COTO Report
http://coto2.wordpress.com/

I know about the purge at OEN, I am a member at COTO and may well be a member at COTO Report, I don't remember. In any case, I visit there often, and sometimes comment. So, I have my personal views on OEN, but find that it is a very useful site for promoting 9/11 truth. Not perfect, but probably the best of the mainstream progressive sites when you consider the size of the audience and the willingness to publish our articles and to permit a pretty wide range of comments. There are a lot of regulars on that site who are on side with 9/11 Truth, and post articles on a routine basis. No other similar site with a substantial readership does that to my knowledge. I would sure like to know of more such sites. COTO Report is growing, but OEN has a big head start. I would be happy to see Daily Kos, Huffington Post and others dive in membership, into oblivion. I have no wish to see Kall's membership decline. I would love Rady Ananda's site, COTO Report, and my site to increase. Rady has a better chance than me, she is more web savy. There are other good sites that post a similar mix - Flyby News is one that comes off the top of my head. (I am not looking at the mainly pure 9/11 sites such as this one in my comparison).

Camusrebel,

Your description of the OEN purge is very accurate. I should know, I gave COTO their name.

I was going to inform those reading this blog of the events which lead to the purge, but there's little to add of your concise description.

I. like most, when first commenting on OEN was pleased to have found a site that allowed open discussion on 9/11, without the usual juvenile name calling that may sites seemed to descend into, especially having been frustrated from doing on many of the so-called "progressive" sites.

It has been interesting to have been banned from so many sites (I just got kicked-off my local newspapers site yesterday) for simply engaging in discussions of 9/11.

Well, the worm seems to be turning as the truth wills out, as it always does. For as more and more evidence comes out, and as more and more people get exposed to it, the sites that have made 9/11 a taboo subject will become as irrelevant as the MSM has become.

I still explore sites looking for places to inform those that may wish to learn, for I don't think there's much value in preaching to the choir, but, there are certainly enough smaller Truther sites springing up every day now, for the same reasons COTO was formed, because we found that the only way to bypass censorship was to simply make a site of your own.

I'm flattered that there are those of you that know of COTO. We are a rather eclectic group of radical free-thinkers, who each in our own way strive to keep one step ahead of those that would wish to dispose of us.

I'm glad to say, their efforts haven't worked, quit the opposite, we grow as they sink, and the day will come soon when will stand in the dominant light of the Truth, and we will witness a new dawn of enlightenment as we bury those that committed this crime so deep that we won't see their likes again for another 10,000 years.

For those wishing to view some of my efforts:
