7. Not surprised. (Here on DU, we've got the climate doomers and Obama bashers.)

Unfortunately, there's also plenty of people who believe that missiles brought down the WTC buildings & the Pentagon, or that Israel controls American Middle East policy,
and that climate change is either a hoax, or, on the other absurd extreme, something that will destroy all civilization and/or end humanity, and that the IPCC is deliberately covering up the true extent & severity of climate change.....and, speaking of nuttiness, I've even seen some real nutty New Agey B.S. being thrown around, especially by some of our nuttier members(including, for example, one Speck Tater before his ass got zapped), particularly involving sudden quantum climate shifts(without corresponding increases in greenhouse gas activity), David Wasdell's "Earth Systems" crapola(don't believe me? He threw out a climate sensitivity number of 7.8*C per doubling!) and other such complete fucking nonsense(there was even one wacko who claimed that global warming was causing an increase in autism cases! Can't remember his name, though.).

You've also got plenty of people who claim that Obama's a secret Republican out to destroy the 99%, and let's not get started on the other, even more radical extreme B.S., on the right-wing side(you know, Obama is a secret Muslim/Communist/Fascist, that sort of bullshit?).
