What is a "moonbat"?

[orleans]

there was a thread last night talking about the freeper site and their referencing "moonbats"---

what the hell is a moonbat???

(it sounds hysterical, i'm assuming they are referring to democrats, but can someone explain to me what the connection is exactly???)

1. I wonder that too, since a replier to Rep Conyers mentioning us on his

blog called Conyers a "moonbat and DUmmie" so I have to assume it's not complementary LOL

[AmBlue]

5. Well, if Conyers is a moonbat...

.......then I am too. And damn proud of it.

I can just see the headlines: "MOONBATS IMPEACH CHIMP!!"

6. I'm with you -- proud "Moonbat!"

7. Appears to be an insult leveled by bigoted asshats

“Powerful bombs”, my aching butt. Wait until the ragheads get a taste of the 2000-pounders, much less a little thing called BLU-82 (12,600-pounders). Boom! Boom! I can only hope they’re holding them back to use on Syria for harboring these shiite-heads.

9. Interesting: "someone who sacrifices sanity for consistency".

Sound familiar.

Amazing how those who are dependent upon their sliver-thin perspective of life project "moonbat" on anyone unlike them.

I hadn't even heard of the term until this thread. I can't imagine applying it to anyone other than those who proffer it, frankly.

4. For cryin' out loud

everybody knows what a moonbat is. Ask Mortimer Lintball what he sees flying around his head at 4:19 in the morning after snorting 75 grams of hillbilly heroin. Them be moonbats!

10. what makes freepers so fucking retarded?

Did they all eat lead paint chips as children in defiance of "scienceism" or something?

[Gemini Cat]

11. Yes, and they enjoyed the paint chips with ketchup.

They wanted to get a vegetable in there.
Now they enjoy sniffing paint thinner.

12. Insults lose their sting if you have to look 'em up...
