Daily Kos: Are birthers also "moon-landing deniers"?
When scientists point out to evidence about global warming, one of the many pieces of evidence they use is remote sensing data. And in the US, who provides that data? You guessed it - NASA! And therefore, the "birther, global-warming denier" loons know that they have to do everything to give NASA a bad name. And what better way to do it than to discredit NASA on one of their greatest achievements (indeed one of the greatest achievements of humanity) ever?

Or something like that. However, I still think that there is a very high degree of overlap between the "birthers" and the "moon-landing deniers".
