Conspiracy belief prevalence, according to Public Policy Polling is as high as 51%
Posted by Mark on April 5, 2013 And it may even be more when one considers that there is likely non-overlap between many of these conspiracies. It really is unfortunate that their isn’t more social pushback against those that express conspiratorial views. Given both the historical and modern tendency of some conspiracy theories being used direct hate towards one group or another…
Is the holocaust denial/climate change denial comparison apt?
Posted by Mark on May 18, 2012 Many of the climate change denialist sites have been up in arms by comparisons of climate change denial to holocaust denial. In particular Marc Morano at climate depot has had multiple articles attacking and expressing hysterical outrage at these comparisons. We know they don’t like the comparison, but the question is, is it apt?
The New Scientist Debates Denialism
Posted by Mark on May 24, 2010 Luckily they don’t make the mistake of actually debating denialists. The feature of last weeks issue, “Age of Denial” is a series of articles by skeptics and one laughable rebuttal, discussing the nature of denialism and tactics to use against it. They do quite a good job covering the basics, starting with Deborah MacKenzie and…
Holocaust Museum Shooter – Anti-semite and conspiracy theorist
Posted by Mark on June 11, 2009 Orac has already pointed out the disgusting hate behind the Holocaust museum shooter and his holocaust denial. Others around the internet, in particular Pat at Screw Loose Change have pointed out he was an example of crank magnetism. Not surprisingly, he was also a 9/11 truther (which as Pat says, “scratch a 9/11 truther and…
Expelled as Holocaust denial
Posted by Mark on April 23, 2008 I’ve been reluctant to write about Expelled from the perspective of their abuse of the memory of the Holocaust. Ever since I learned that they were going to recycle the ludicrous Darwin-caused-Hitler argument I’ve been sending out emails to asking other experts their take on whether or not it constitutes a serious affront. Now reading…
The latest example of crank magnetism – Ahmadinejad becomes a Troofer!
Posted by Mark on April 18, 2008 Yes, that’s right, the Holocaust denier who brought us the international meeting of Holocaust deniers has slipped naturally into trooferism. Earlier Wednesday, Ahmadinejad called the 9/11 attacks a “suspect event” in a speech at a public rally in the holy city of Qom. “Four or five years ago a suspect event took place in New…
Can someone explain to me why the neo-nazis love Ron Paul
Posted by Mark on December 26, 2007 I’m so confused. I’ve got Ed telling us that the neo-nazis are claiming them as one of his own, which I would usually dismiss since they’re usually just lying about everything. But then I see Ron Paul supporters blame a Jewish Cabal for the allegations? That, and David Duke coming to his defense? I prefer…
Holocaust Denier David Irving at Oxford – A report
Posted by Mark on November 27, 2007 I actually had thought the debate with holocaust denier David Irving and racist Nick Griffin at the Oxford Union had been canceled, but via Deborah Lipstadt’s blog it turns out they made the mistake of giving the man an outlet for his nonsense. An account is offered by attendee Jonny Wright that I think supports…
