There are different classes of crapola here. Each one has his/her own
special features, but in many ways they are sadly predictable.

Class 1:
"My role is to be the little kid in the story about the emperor's new
clothes."
"My ideas are sound despite the fact that I've had no physics training
at all. In fact, they are sound BECAUSE I've had no training at all."
"I only want to share the gift of my insight with the world. Some day I
will be granted the courtesy of recognition for my contributions."
"There's no reason for me to read books or articles about physics. If a
concept is important enough, it should be explainable to the layman in
a concise, well-worded paragraph. Making things harder is just a way
for physicists to preserve the status quo."
"There's no need for me to calculate anything. My explanations are just
vastly superior, but the math is obviously the same."
"There's no reason to compare my ideas against experiment. Experiments
are not done by truly creative minds. Experiments are cooked up to
support the latest theory in fashion. Common sense and intuition and
logical argument are all that's needed to establish the truth of an
idea."

Class 2:
"I have an idea for a black-hole-driven power generator. Wouldn't that
be COOL?"
"I have a design for a fusion-powered iPod. Wouldn't that be COOL?"
"Let's talk about antimatter-matter bombs. Wouldn't they be COOL?"
"I have an idea for getting around the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle
and getting 300 miles to the gallon. Wouldn't that be COOL?"

Class 3:
"Any electrical engineer knows that transmitters radiate electric
fields and not magnetic fields."
"SR fundamentally assumes an ether, and assumes that the observer has
the lowest absolute motion in the universe."
"The Schrodinger equation says that the uncertainty in the position of
a photon is infinite, and so the position of a photon can never be
measured."
"NIST says that the speed of light is based on the charge of the
electron."
"LBL says that the mass of the photon has been measured to be nonzero."

Class 4:
"Einstein was a crook and a huckster. He never used the word 'inertial'
in his SR paper."
"Einstein was a half-wit and a jew and a God-hater."
"Einstein is glorified as a god by synchophant physicists, who would
all lose their jobs if the scam were uncovered."
"Mathematics is a conspiracy, a private coded language that physicists
use to befuddle the common man from applying his native understanding
of things."
"If the physicists were to admit that the World Trade Center could not
fall the way they did without deliberately planted explosives, then
their whole house of cards, including that nonsensical crap about
curved space and time dilation, would collapse in a day."

I'll steal some of these :-)
