References

I have a problem in that there are actually very few references to show that these theories are significantly believed, even by the standards of conspiracy theories. There are plenty of references backing up their falsehood, but references to show their acceptance are few and far between. DJ Clayworth (talk) 20:53, 8 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That problem has been addressed now; I added a link to a study by the University of Georgia which measured the theories' popularity during 2008; belief in the United States reached nearly 20% at one point. I haven't been able to find any studies from 2009 or 2010 yet, although I'm sure there are some. The article is still a work in progress, for sure, but it's a start.

I would like to add something. On this page I see nothing about the viral videos that have claimed to hear voices saying "thank you satan" or "serve satan" in various Barack-related speeches. I just think that this would be valuable to add. March 16, 2010 (EST)
