Empowerment Through Ownership

Posted by Bill

A proud moonbat:

Recently Right-Wing Conservatives writing on the 'Blogosphere' have taken to insulting anti-War and anti-Bush activists as "barking Moonbats." Sites have been dedicated to "Moonbat Alerts" exposing any outragious and controversal quotes (usually taken out of context) by anyone they have conveniently labeled as "Leftist." What the Right hasn't realized yet is the peace movement is quite adept at taking any insult thrown at 'em and turning it into a badge of honor. As such, I'm willing to take this opportunity to say on the record and in front of the world that I am an unrepentent, unashamed, and self-confessed Moonbat.
...and I can't wait to howl at the next full moon!

Own it, brother. Though I feel the need to counter that it's pretty hard to take signs that read "9-11? Cheney did it!!" out of "context."

PS - The Latin designation for the generic, common moonbat is Macroglossius lunarius commonus. Don't forget the commonus, though it can be replaced with other words in order to designate more specific species. For example, do you like to incessantly bang on plastic buckets? Macroglossius lunarius fligerius. And so on.

What's good for the lizardoid is good for the moonbat, I suppose.

Should we read the PS in an Australian accent?

I boke up when I read this one. ;-)
"You may be a left wing moonbat if you wore a Che Guevara t-shirt to work."

Nope I never wore a Che shirt to work, but boy did I ever get some strange looks the day I came to work in my McLennin's "The Party is OVER!" tee shirt. ;-)

You can see it here online I picked up mine in St Petersburg, no not Florida, the one that used to be called Lenningrad.

"McLenin's" is what the T-shirt says on the front of it, while the back print is quite equivocal: "The Party is Over" (with a Soviet hammer and sickle star frying). Will make a great gift to anyone interested in either McDonald's� or Soviet history.

Wow is right. If all moonbats come out of the trees maybe they'll see the light of reason. Wow, again.

The above mentioned Moonbat is over at Rightwingsparkle trying to get a date. He really needs to work on those meds.

Recently????

Where have these moonbats been for the past 4 years?

Old, old news.

Personally, I can't wait until they start actually wearing tin-foil hats to MoveOn meet-ups and International ANSWER rallies...

...as a badge of honor, of course!

Badge of Honor. Heh.
I hear Clintoon call his Impeachment a Badge of Honor. Here is Kerry calling Clintoon's endorsement a Badge of Honor.
Gotta love those "Peaceniks".

I'm sure there's some nuanced, deconstructionist context in which this sign clearly demonstrates why its creator isn't completely insane, but my head would explode if I had to listen to it.

HTML is hard. Let's try that link again:

This sign.

Lloyd, excuse me? Does one need meds to do that?

Bill, Did Jeff G. tell you I gave him this link for you? Thought you would get a kick out of it.
