* People who subscribe to ConspiracyTheories are often able to jump from one belief to another, without ever admitting they're contradictory or that the original was wrong. There's an organization called "Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth", which claims a membership of 1,500 professionals in those professions. When debunkers point out that more than their entire membership enters the labour force in those professions each ''year'', and that there are over a ''million'' people in those professions in the US, the Truthers often promptly start whining about the Appeal To Authority fallacy.
** Not just ConspiracyTheories; people seem to have a knack for this when it comes to politics, atheism, religion, philosophy, or just about anything you can hold an opinion on, really.
* A cornerstone tenet of the Church of the [=SubGenius=] is to "pull the wool over your own eyes" -- if you're going to believe in bullshit, it better be ''your own'' bullshit. One mark of a [=SubGenius=] sermon is that it {{Lampshades}} its absurdity while preaching it with the most sincere conviction.
