What is a moonbat?

I've referred to moonbats several times and almost every time I do, someone asks me "Hammer what in the hell is a moonbat?"
.
I'm not sure there is a standard definition in Webster so I'll just lay it down for you the way I see it.
What is a Moonbat?
A moonbat is a staunch proponent of free speech as long as they approve of the message.
A moonbat says that a hate crime cannot occur against a straight white Christian male
.
A moonbat does not see any discord when they claim to be pro abortion but against capital punishment
.
A moonbat thinks you should be forced to give up whatever they decide is better for the common good.
.
A moonbat thinks your rights stop where their crusade begins.
.
A moonbat thinks that the unwashed masses should be disarmed while they themselves live in gated communities and have armed body guards.
.
A moonbat says nothing about the thousands of US soldiers that died during Bill Clinton's UN campaigns but calls Bush a murderer
.A moonbat thinks it's imperative to give up your constitution and national sovereignty to a international organization that appoints countries like Saudi Arabia and Rwanda to the commission on human rights.
.
A moonbat thinks it's imperative for our public schools to politically indoctrinate our children into "proper" thinking about the environment, sex and social issues even though parents may have differing moral and religious convictions.
.
These are but a few examples, but basically, it's someone who pushes their unfounded, unscientific and unreasonable beliefs on others by deception, bullying or legislation.
.
Yes there are extreme right wingers who do the same and they are called "wingnuts" or Jack Booted thugs but we can talk about those later.
.
If you are offended by this post you might just be a moonbat. ;D

I've heard of moonbats and fucktards but never wingnuts. I like that term.
I prefer wombat......but isn't that an animal of some kind;)
Definitely NOT a moonbat, but have run into far too many of them in my life!
I didn't realize I knew so many Moonbats. Thanks for giving them a title.
I am a boonmatt. Cheers!!
I'm definitely not offended by this post...I love it! Great, great post.
I didn't know what they were called, I always just called them "fuckers"....
Thanks for giving them a name for me, Hammer.
never heard the term "moonbat" before, nice to have a definition (or several)!
No offense taken here. I assert my position, once again, that you should run for some kind of political office!
i get called a "wingnut" by the "moonbats" all the time - just been trying to please them for a little over four years - you'd think they'd thank me, but nooooooo.
<^--^> ahooooooooooooooooooo!
They're all just labels that seem to have been created as our country became increasingly divided. Now for those damn wingnuts Hammer, let's hear about them too.
Great explanation!!
Also named for their high-pitched screeching about... just about everything.
They make me want to smoke cigars while revving the hell outta a HMMWV, praying to Jesus and counting my ammo...
I was called an 'old bat' once, and it was NOT used as a term of endearment :)

I'm surprised when people have to ask what a moonbat is since Wikipedia and many other sites have definitions. Just Google it.
Yours Hammer, is probably the most straight forward, nail-on-the-head defintion I've actually read, though.
Can't we all get along? ;)
I'm annoyed at anyone who will stiffle my view just because they don't agree or it offends their sesibilities.
If it aint yours keep your damn hands off of it.
Not offended at all ... it's good to identify the moonbats, and call 'em on their b.s.
Wingnuts too, when they're beyond the pale, alhough the lefties routinely call me a wingnut, or a nutjob, so I guess I'm pulling my weight. LOL!!
I can think of a couple more lists you would be great at writing.

"A moonbat thinks that the unwashed masses should be disarmed while they themselves live in gated communities and have armed body guards."
So if I believe that we should give back the arms of the unwashed masses so that they can wash the bodies of the guards, then can I be a moonbat too?
Cheers
I thought the Jack-Booted Thugs were the ninja-clad agents of the gubmint, 'cause somebody, somewhere is afraid you might be enjoying yourself without their intervention. In addition to the ninja gear, they can be identified by the "alphabet soup" agency on their chests.
The only thing I can add about moonbats: they refuse to listen to counter-revolutionary propaganda, no matter how logical and fact-filled it may be.
Yup. I think that about covers it.
Except! You have included no instructions on the proper care and feeding of moonbats which is kind of important if you're like me and want them to be sold and kept as pets.
Wikipedia actually has an article on moonbats, but I think your explanation leaves very little room for any, "Yes, but how do you know one if you see them?" Great post!
I drank an expensive starbuck drink this morning...I just might be a moonbat...
*giggles*
Im so stealing this word...
heheheh
I think you should take this out on the road. You could replace Jeff Foxworthy with your "You may be a moonbat if..." line.
Bravo!
"how do you know one when you see one?"
they are of the armpit hair and pasty skin - yes, recognizable.
now, on the subject of wingnuts, wingnuts is one thing, but when they call you a "stupid, effing wingnut" - it's on!
Great phrase! Right wingers needed something catchy!

Thanks for the explanation, I didn't know what was a moonbat, and I didn't even think at checking on Google, so maybe I am part of a moonbat, and I don't care.
To paraphrase Churchill; Anyone under the age of 30 who isn't a moonbat has no heart. Anyone over the age of 30 who isn't a wingnut has no brain.
