Signatory: Leftist Historian Howard Zinn

Claim: He's not really a Truther

Evidence for His Claim: He says so

Evidence against His Claim: He's really a Truther

Fact: He's really a Truther

...

Signatory: Leftist Rabbi Michael Lerner

Claim: He's not really a Truther

Evidence for His Claim: He says so

Evidence against His Claim: He's really a Truther

Fact: He's really a Truther

...

Signatory: Leftist Agitator Van Jones

Claim: He's not really a Truther

Evidence for His Claim: Howard Zinn and Michael Lerner claim they've been somehow misrepresented, so maybe Van Jones was misrepresented too

Evidence against His Claim: Howard Zinn and Michael Lerner were not misrepresented, because they're really really Truthers

Fact: TBD*

* But note, pace Charles Johnson, "Truthers lie."

What can we glean from this?

That Trutherism is something you only engage in with like-minded fellows in the darkness, like those organized jockey-underwear trading rings that men go to, where they trade their used underwear with other men just to "see what other guys' underwear feels like." *

* What, no one else does this? Come on, tell me I'm not the only one.

Incidentally: I was rushing to finish the last post to head out for dinner, so I forgot to 1, close the tags and 2, h/t Ben Smith for eliciting this bogus denial from Zinn and Lerner.

He also let it drop that Lerner had said "weird things" about 9/11. I was already getting to Lerner next, but I moved faster once I had confirmation of what I'd already suspected, i.e., that Lerner would prove out to be just as big a Truther, and as big a Truther-Liar, as Zinn.
