Gerard, I see denialism in all its manifestations as simply another trait of Rightwing psychopathology. This type is nearly always a slavish idolator of the Market Fundamentalist cult (which collapse explains much of the Denialists' current increasing hysteria, I believe. They are really pissed off that part of their religion has been shown to be both vicious and stupid)and of brutal power politics, so worship the US Moloch. They are generally very arrogant and seem to believe they can order reality about as if it were some serf in their employ. This sort of 'magical thinking' is seen in Creation Science as well, with similar, if less species threatening, dire results for learning and culture generally.
