Whoopi Goldberg questioned the original moon landing on today's edition of "The View." Goldberg, a co-host, wondered who shot the footage and why the flag was "rippling" if there was no wind.

We are committing suicide by stupidity and ignorance.
I can’t believe anyone would listen to the MOON BAT! She is 100% wacko......I was upset at the disrespectful way she treated John McCain last year...Of course he should have known better than to go on “The View”.
I’m just dazzled by Whoopi’s brilliance.
I wish Jamie and Adam would prove that Whoopi is a myth.

Yes, The View has a large pool of intellect to pick from.
The Clueless leading the clueless. The math does not compute, but perhaps, for Whoopi, among others, it most certainly does.
She is a shining lighthouse on the bay of stupidity.
“Whoopi,” who received her nickname because her flatulence is remarkable,ranks as one of the largest pinheads in the nation.
Although, it is surprising how many people around the world believe in this nonsense.
There is simply no way such a conspiracy could have been kept so quiet, for so many years.
a friend of mine I known a while that always been a little off is turning into a truther and I can not seem to get through to him either.
A little information twisted in different ways with omission of major facts seems to be all it takes.
I don't get it.
MythBusters spent a whole show debunking fake-moon-landing myths. They set up a flag in a vacuum chamber, and tested 4-5 others. All busted.
University of Maryland physics professor Carroll Alley was the project's principal investigator during the Apollo years, and he follows its progress today. "Using these mirrors," explains Alley, "we can 'ping' the moon with laser pulses and measure the Earth-moon distance very precisely. This is a wonderful way to learn about the moon's orbit and to test theories of gravity.What Neil & Buzz Left on the Moon
She is the prime example of $hit-for -brains.
took me all of 10 seconds to find this from here http://abcnews.go.com/technology/story?id=97589&page=2:
In Edgar M. Cortwright’s book, Apollo Expeditions to the Moon, astronaut Buzz Aldrin recalled what happened when he and Neil Armstrong tried to set the flag up.
“It took both of us to set it up and it was nearly a public relations disaster,” he wrote, “a small telescoping arm was attached to the flagpole to keep the flag extended and perpendicular. As hard as we tried, the telescope wouldn’t fully extend. Thus the flag which should have been flat had its own permanent wave.”
The wrong coating had been applied to the telescoping rod, so it wouldn’t fully extend, which is why the flag looks like it is waving in the wind. Ironically, that famous picture of Buzz Aldrin posing next to the flag is often cited as evidence by conspiracy theorists as proof the mission to the moon was a hoax.
Hey Whoopie, ya stupid moonbat, the flag waves for the same reason there is no wind: There is no air. See, it’s air resistance that quickly stops things such as the flag they used (metal poll with metal crosspiece to hold flag out) from oscillating here on Earth.
Take a first grade science class, Whoopie, ya gasbag, to find out what those words “air resistance” and “oscillating” mean...
