Why are you trying to articulate that this is somehow a partisan issue?

Flat earthers and 9/11 conspiracy theorists don't discriminate last I checked. And if you want to get partisan, perfect example for moronic liberals would be vaccines... And that takes it to a whole new level of stupid - but at least theirs ends with death so that thoughts that stupid don't get passed on.

Meanwhile, this topic was covered in another thread and the person arguing what you're arguing got owned.

This was my challenge:

Here is a challenge for you.

Name a major, mainstream left-wing politician, news outlet or political commentator who is anti-vaccine, a climate change denier, evolution denier, conspiracy theorist or pro-woo.

As for right-wing we have

Alex Jones (all of the above)
Trump (All of the above)
Brian Kilmeade (Fox and Friends anti-vax, climate change denier, general conspiracies)
Tucker Carlson (anti-vax climate change denier evolution denier)
Michelle Bachmann (Anti Vax climate change and evolution denier)
Rick Perry (anti-vax apologist)
Rand Paul (Anti-vax apologist and immune "overload" conspiracy pusher)
Mike Huckabee (anti-vax apologist disguised as "choice")
Sarah Palin (Evolution and climate change denier)

This is a short list that stopped growing only because I'm bored.

The point is this: The GOP has mainstreamed anti-science conspiratard thinking. The left wing has not.

Where in any of what I said did I state trump wasn't retarded? This whole partisan association with you guys has gotten bonkers to the level of retardation.


Yes. California has a large ultra conservative, anti-vax, anti-science pocket in Orange County. Guess where the breakout was? Disneyland. Guess where Disneyland is? Orange County.

You are wasting your time. Facts don’t fit the narrative.

You should also be able to answer my question then. What is the Liberal equivalent to Alex Jones? We've had posters on this very form cite Infowars as a source, so we got the Republican one down.

And finally, I give you the mainstreamed snake oil salesman, conspiratard, and frequent Alex Jones and Fox News guest, Mike Adams of "Natural News."

https://geneticliteracyproject.org/...s-favorite-uber-quack-1-anti-science-website/

Michael Allen "Mike" Adams a.k.a. The Health Ranger (born 1969 or 1967 in Lawrence, KS) is publisher of Natural News (formerly News Target) which promotes alternative health and natural lifestyle products online. It's estimated that the site gets 6.5 million hits per month, with 31% coming through organic search.

Adams is an ardent anti-technology, conspiracy theory promoting pro-organic advocate who claims biotechnology scientists "are the most despicable humanoids to walk the face of this planet" and that they promote corporate "junk science" and are anti-human.[1] He has promoted such causes as AIDS denialism, 9/11 truther conspiracies, Barack Obama citizenship 'birther' claims and is believer in 'dangerous' chemtrails and vaccines. He aligns himself with President Trump, portraying the 'mainstream press" as purveyors of fake news in an attempt to suppress truth tellers, like himself, and has emerged as a rising star in the alt-right movement.

Oh and the anti-science, snake oil salesman "Food Babe" featured positively on Fox News LONG after she has been discredited by the mainstream media for her utter ignorance of basic chemistry, nutrition and science.

Yep. The right-wing has mainstreamed conspiratards, woo peddlers, anti-science, anti-vax, climate change denial and evolution denial.

Oh wait. Just one more for shits and gigglefarts:

Guess who is featured favorably on Conservapedia as a health guru?

None other than the internet's leading anti-vax, anti-GMO, anti-science alt-med quack and snake oil salesman, Joe Mercola:

http://www.conservapedia.com/Joseph_Mercola

While there are plenty of batshit left wing voters, it is the right-wing who has mainstreamed batshit. Fully.

That is an undeniable fact.

I wish you guys would lighten up on the flat earth society, I love those guys. They have some great videos proving beyond doubt that the earth is indeed flat. I'm talking real science stuff, with math and charts and even a bar graph. It's pretty hard to argue with a bar graph.

Let's just sum this up, shall we?

Just how mainstreamed is anti-vax, evolution denial, science denial and conspiratard thinking in the GOP?

The very leader of the GOP, Donald J Trump is all of the above.

Plus my list.

Plus the weak ass attempt in the other thread to say there are just as many left-wing leaders/media when only two fit the bill.

It is an incontrovertable fact that batshit is mainstream in the GOP. Full stop.

If this is your summary, you learned nothing in the other discussion.
