With such an extreme lack of response, my first thought was that the guy must come off really poorly. He's either creeping people out, scaring them, or they think he's a random lunatic.
Where are you getting this story from?
The only reference I seem to find indicates it to be the retelling of something that occurred in 1951, and that Hunter died in 2003 at the age of 87.
I don't understand the point of the thread. What do you think this means?

Nobody trusts anybody anymore. If someone on the street I don't know asks me to sign something the answer is no. I need time to evaluate and understand what I'm signing.
I'm afraid they are going to end up selling me something or signing a petition for some law that going to cost me more taxes.
It's not so much what it says, I don't like feeling pressured into signing something.

Especially the Republicans.
My goodness, I've fallen for the internet trap I criticize others for. I thought it was current.

Understanding the OP is not a recent development, but considering about 25 years ago the asked college students to identify various historical figures like Ben Franklin who many said was the first president of the United States and also asked who is George Washington and they got more than one response that he was the first man on the moon...and a search of the internet on similar topics show it has not gotten better...... none of this surprises me at all

It's getting harder to avoid. There have been a few topics I've went to research on a quick Google search, and number of credible sources on page one has dwindled and almost evaporated. Even things such as environmental laws are not bringing up pages from the EPA or other relative government agencies, but stupid blogger spewing alarmist nonsense (Think Progress ran a piece that supports the false idea of it being illegal to collect rain water), falsehood and lies, and contradictory information on the link below. Not that Google is a premier search engine for credible sources, but the amount of rubbish and refuse is definitely on the rise. (last I knew Holocaust denial is pretty popular on Google).
Doing a bit of math (assuming 25 years made this during '91, roughly putting the average colleger then born ~'70 give or take a few years, with a good chunk perhaps born before the first humans arrived on the moon), it's abysmal that people born around the time of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landing on the moon thought George Washington was the first.

Like Jesse Watters and Judge Jeanine do? That's GOP media you're watching do that.
The difference is normal journalistic outlets don't go into conservative areas on national TV and ask them 'gotcha' questions and then cherry-pick the answers you want.

I agree. I would be hesitant too, thinking it was a scam.
