re: #95 talon_262
AFAIK, “moonbats” have always referred to left-wing nutjobs (example: Cynthia McKinney, George Galloway, etc.), just as “wingnuts” refer to right-wing nutjobs.
I think initially it was a term for any person not sensible enough to follow on his/her beliefs to unpalatable extremes. Only then it acquired leftish tones. At least that’s what I read.
