It has been obvious for some time that Republicans suffer from (or enjoy) factophobia. They fear the facts.
They hate science and distort, deny, or subvert it at every opportunity. They claim there is no global warming (or if there is, it’s caused by chipmunks, or something). Remember when Ronald Reagan asserted that “trees cause more pollution that cars”.
It’s wacko science! Asbestos, smoking, air and water pollution, the fact that abstinence-only sex education fails kids—you name it, they deny it. If the general population knew the facts, the GOP would be in real trouble. Oh, wait, they are.
Despite the lie factories such as Limbaugh, Coulter, Beck, Rove, and the Astroturf (fake grassroots) organizations such as the FOX-TV-organized, corporate-sponsored, so-called Tea Parties, the general population doesn’t seem to be drinking the Kook-Aid anymore.
Still the factophobes are out there, dancing around with their “I hate Obama” signs waving. As long as they keep moving, bobbing, weaving, and spinning, I guess, they don’t have to face the inconvenient facts.
