The debate about who's more antiscience has flared up again. See these two pieces:
"The Republican Party Isn't Really the Anti-Science Party," by Mischa Fisher, The Atlantic.
"GOP is an anti-science party of nuts (sorry, Atlantic!)" by Sean McElwee, Salon.
I've written and spoken about this subject fairly extensively, and don't want to repeat myself. (Interestingly, the overall debate tends to repeat itself quite a bit, with the same statistics.) To make a long story short, my conclusion is there are problems of hostility and stupidity vis-a-vis science on both sides of the political aisle, and currently they're worse on the right.
