Even Moon landing hoaxers toe the party line. Who knew? A study reported on
by our sister site Live Science reveals that the polarizing rift between Democrats
and Republicans hits conspiracy theorists, too. The report by Bad Science
debunker Ben Radford states:
As one might expect, the more far-out the conspiracy theory, the fewer
people endorse it. Dean Debnam, president of Public Policy Polling, which
conducted the research, noted, "Most Americans reject the wackier ideas
out there about fake moon landings and shape-shifting lizards."
Even so, 20 percent of Republicans believe that President Obama is the
Anti-Christ, compared with 13 percent of Independents and 6 percent of
Democrats who agree.
