GLEN BECK holding a 12" striper...

Was watching fox news today at 5pm and glen beck was trying to illustrate a point about something smelling bad, and he had a dead striper that was tiny... looked like a fresh water hybrid though, because it was so wide... I thought my cabin fever was really screwing with eyes... but there really was a striped bass on fox news

An unthinking or insane leftist -- in other words, most modern leftists.

Another possible definition of a moonbat is “a smug liberal who adopts a smirking tone without really knowing what he’s talking about.”

All that is necessary for evil to succeed is that good men do nothing.

I think this thread is heading for an early grave. Can we close this before it gets out of control?

A moonbat is the name "affectionately" used by another conservative talk show host from Quinn and Rose in the mornings, referring to those of a liberal mindset.
Sometimes even though moonbats mean well, they often "want to make everyone happy and have the government provide free health care and more benefits" not realizing what it will cost "Higher tax and taking liberties from all of us, in order to make these things available to all". Many of them believe that each individual should put into the government what they can afford, and each individual should receive from the government what they cannot afford.
"To each according to his needs, and from each according to his ability to pay." quote from Karl Marx

moonbat

An extreme leftist, throwing aside logic for political
convenience. A caller to the Howie Carr radio show summed
it up as "These people wear winter clothes in the summer".
Characterized by men in ponytails, sandals with socks,
and 1.20.09 Bush's Last Day bumperstickers. Often seen
at global warming marches that take place during snowstorms.

Someone on the extreme edge of the political left who has long abandoned fact & logic in the pursuit of spewing their scocialist crapaganda. (ie Al Franken, Michael Moore, and Janeane Garafalo, to name but a few.) Ann Coulter is the absolute antithesis of a moonbat.

A mentally unstable Liberal who tires to hijack the true meaning of a word and turn it to their advantage. Just as they have with History.
The true definition of Moonbat is not a compliment to Liberals. It is a term used to describe their mental instability and lack of knowledge.

The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope. ~John Buchan

Leave it to a liberal to reduce a persons worth to their physical appearance. Shame, shame. And you guys are supposed to be the ones with compassion for the less fortunate.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

my comment lacked any semblance of class because i believe she lacks any semblance of class.
besides, it's the most accurate way to describe her.


for example

“I'm afraid, based on my own experience, that fascism will come to America in the name of national security.”

So, you're admitting that you have no class? You haven't posted anything on this site to prove otherwise.

I'd agree with Bones that use of the C word isn't very classy under most any circumstances I can think of, and certainly not in a public forum. It would be like Buck dropping the N word.

As much as I think Coulter leaves little to be admired, she's just another smear merchant out to get rich by demeaning others. A fantastic role model she is not...
