Test: How to tell if you’re a moonbat

Boston Herald ^ | August 3, 2008 | Howie Carr

[afortiori]

For those who came in late, moonbats are trust-funded, medicated, middle-aged, white-guilt-ridden blogging lefty losers who inflicted Deval Patrick upon the working people. The moonbats now yearn to elect Sen. Barack Obama, a Deval on steroids.

If you are a guy with a ponytail, chances are you’re a moonbat - if you have a wide-brim leather hat too, the odds rise to 100 percent. If you’re a woman and you bring knitting to public meetings, consider yourself positively ID’ed.

Like most people, I know ’em when I see ’em. But if you are wondering whether or not you are a moonbat, here are some of the most obvious traits:

[afortiori]

Some of the references may be a little parochial to Massachusetts, but funny nonetheless.

[afortiori]

FYI: State Senator Jim “Aqualung” Marzilli from Arlington is facing numerous charges for allegedly accosting women, at least once while “sitting on a park bench” as he inquired about the woman's personal shaving habits.

[clintonh8r]

You might be a moonbat if....you don’t think there’s anything wrong with Little Bobby Wexluh.

[clintonh8r]

You might be a moonbat if...you are Cynthia McKinney.

[STONEWALLS]

....he forgot to mention grey haired pony tails on men and women

....professors that teach in blue jeans; or any professor actually.

....the “Coexist” bumper stickers with all those little symbols spelling out the word

....people that dress in hiking boots and knapsack to walk around town....the trekking chic look.

[John123]

You might be a moon bat if you think Obama/Hugo Chavez is a dream ticket...

[Mr Ramsbotham]

You might be a moon bat if you think Obama/Hugo Chavez is a dream ticket...

Or if you think Dick Armey is a gay militia.

[Texas Eagle]

Heh, heh. This article is begging for additional examples.

You might be a moonbat if...

you think American kids should learn Spanish but Mexican kids in America shouldn't have to learn English

you think sex education should be taught in kindergarten

you think you can lower the sea levels by switching to compact fluorescent light bulbs

you think you can save as much oil as drilling would produce if you just inflate your tires properly

you call yourself a Citizen of the World.

[Texas Eagle]

You might be a moonbat if...

...you actually understand what "Change We Can Believe In" means.

[Zevonismymuse]

the “Coexist” bumper stickers with all those little symbols spelling out the word

I just got my order of "is gay" bumper stickers so I can repair all the Obama bumper stickers in Santa Barbara. You can get them at www.isgay.com

I'm not kidding.

[vietvet67]

LOL

[LiberConservative]

I have a wide-brimmed hat. But it's for rain and sun protection. I'M NOT A MOONBAT! HONEST!

"Test: How to tell if you’re a moonbat"

...you consider Fairey's artwork "cool".

From Barack Obama's official website:

“I wanted to make an art piece of Barack Obama because I thought an iconic portrait of him could symbolize and amplify the importance of his mission. I believe Obama will guide this country to a future where everyone can thrive and I should support him vigorously for the sake of my two young daughters. I have made art opposing the Iraq war for several years, and making art of Obama, who opposed the war from the start, is like making art for peace. I know I have an audience of young art fans and I’m delighted if I can encourage them to see the merits of Barack Obama.”

-Shepard Fairey

See? It's all about "peace, love, togetherness" and "change".

Here are some of Fairey's other masterpieces. No joke. Most of his works are along these same lines. Check the link.

From a 'thank you' letter Barack Obama sent to Shepard Fairey:
"Dear Shepard, I would like to thank you for using your talent in support of my campaign. The political messages involved in your work have encouraged Americans to believe they can help change the status quo. Your images have a profound effect on people, whether seen in a gallery or on a stop sign.'"

That would be applicable to people living in Atlanta. LOL!

Or if you live in her district. When I was house-hunting one of my pre-conditions was no house anywhere in THAT district.

[Arrowhead1952]

Earlier thread Test: How to tell if you’re a moonbat

Here is what a real moonbat really does.

[fkabuckeyesrule]

****...you actually understand what "Change We Can Believe In" means.****

It means whatever you want it to mean. That's the hideousness of leftism.

[fkabuckeyesrule]

Do you know what the OBEY shirt means. There a person in my condo complex that wears that shirt sometimes.

Nice Howie rant

Michael Moore is one of your primary sources for inspiration.

Michael Moore (quote), from his website, April 14, 2004...

"The Iraqis who have risen up against the occupation are not 'insurgents' or 'terrorists' or 'The Enemy.' They are the REVOLUTION, the Minutemen, and their numbers will grow -- and they will win. Get it, Mr. Bush?"

My Vote's for Obama (if I could vote) ...by Michael Moore

Friends,

I don't get to vote for President this primary season. I live in Michigan. The party leaders (both here and in D.C.) couldn't get their act together, and thus our votes will not be counted.

So, if you live in Pennsylvania, can you do me a favor? Will you please cast my vote -- and yours -- on Tuesday for Senator Barack Obama?

http://www.michaelmoore.com/words/message/index.php

[Starboard]

...you thought Obama’s presidential seal with “vero possumus” on it was clever and sophisticated

[Smokin' Joe]

Yeah. I find it more convenient to tie my hair back than try to get to a barber often enough to keep it out of my eyes. It has the added bonus of helping keep my neck warm in winter, and is a holdover biker thing as well.

Definitely not a moonbat, even though my old Stetson has a wide brim, too.

This must be for city folks.

[calex59]

Be really careful using them, liberals think it is fine for them to trash conservative property but take a dim view of anyone doing the same to them, and they are far more violent then conservatives. Just sayin’.

[ETL]

Do you know what the OBEY shirt means.

It's apparently a bit of leftist "reverse psychology" about *not* obeying the laws and principles of the United States.

[eyedigress]

You might be a moonbat if your the pilot of a stealth airplane.

[calex59]

If you actually believe a light will shine down on you from somewhere when Obama speaks you are not only a moonbat but certifiably insane.

[wintertime]

A fish bumper sticker with little legs is definitely a sign that the owner is a moonbat.

Wall Mart protesters are moonbats.

[xmission]

Yeah, but he’s bipolar.....

[Starboard]

It's apparently a bit of leftist "reverse psychology" about *not* obeying the laws and principles of the United States.

Unless its ruling handed down by the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals

[calex59]

The thing is there are a lot of old hippies(not bikers)running around with long gray hair in pony tails, I believe they outnumber the ones who just wear their hair that way because it is easier than going to a barber(actually when I get to that point I shave my head, it is easier and cheaper and I don’t care what I look like any more). I am sure no insult was intended to old bikers(me being one of those)or cowboys(have never been one of those)or people who simply wear cowboy hats. :)

"You might be a moonbat if..."

You believe Jane Fonda is someone to be admired.

November 22, 1970 -- During a fund-raising tour for GI deserters, Vietnam Veterans Against the War and the Black Panthers, Jane Fonda is quoted in the Detroit Free Press as telling a University of Michigan audience:

"I would think that if you understood what communism was, you would hope, you would pray on your knees that we would someday become communist," and "The peace proposal of the Viet Cong is the only honorable, just, possible way to achieve peace in Vietnam."
http://www.wintersoldier.com/index.php?topic=Timeline

Fonda made the following statement at the University of Texas:
"We've got to establish a Socialist economic structure that will limit private profit-oriented businesses. Whether the transition is peaceful depends on the way our present governmental leaders react. We must commit our lives to this transition ...... We should be very proud of our new breed of soldier. It's not organized but it's mutiny, and they have every right." --Karen Elliott Dallas Morning News December 11, 1971

From 1972: "I am not a do-gooder, I am a revolutionary. A revolutionary woman."

Source for most of the Jane Fonda material:

TODAY: 2008! Fonda is STILL supporting revolutionary communist causes!
She's one of many endorsers of the World Can't Wait movement.

To find Fonda's name, click on the WCW link just below and see: "Endorsers of the Call to Drive Out the Bush Regime Include". Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, John Conyers', endorsement appears right after Ward Churchill's. Al Sharpton's, Maxine Waters and Jesse Jackson Jr's endorsements are also on the list:

World Can't Wait--Drive Out the Bush Regime is a Maoist-revolutionary movement/organization initiated and controlled by the Revolutionary Communist Party. (scroll down the list that appears (after clicking link) to find the World Can't Wait organization --rwor.org is the website of the Revolutionary Communist Party):

I'm thinking the first comment at the site posted sums it all up nicely:

from: doglessMike

Talk about stereotyping! The only difference between left and right in this country is what type of speech you want to suppress.

What the rambling deuce? Conservatives love it when moonbats like Cindy Sheehan are front and center. Nothing better to bring people over to your side than let the other side demonstrate that they are stark staring mad.

Quite a few atheists are conservative.

I'm not getting the segue here.

And there's no such thing as an antiwar march, because at the last "antiwar" march I saw, at least 95% of the protest signs had nothing to do with the war.

Perpetually aggrieved moonbats protest everything, all the time, because they are spoiled rotten trust fund brats just like Howie Carr says.

[Zevonismymuse]

Be really careful using them, liberals think it is fine for them to trash conservative property but take a dim view of anyone doing the same to them, and they are far more violent then conservatives. Just sayin’.

Please....I am a native Californian. I understand my situation better than most. Desperate times call for desperate measures but there are rules of engagement. I never put stickers on paint...only on top of existing bumber stickers or glass. Paper signs are always fair game.

Is Gay Stickers

Get to work my fellow patriots. Lets put Obama on the defensive on something besides race.

[hosepipe]

You're a MOONBAT IF....:

You think American Social Security IS NOT PURE SOCIALISM..
and those receiving it ARE NOT WARDS of the STate..

[Publius6961]

You might be a moonbat if your the pilot of a stealth airplane.

I wonder what that means in English??

[Mr Inviso]

Now, wait a min. I walk around here occasionally in my hiking boots, but mostly to get them worked in for the hunting season. Mine are marsh-grass camo Brownings, though.

I’ve had a few non-moonbat professors, too. Mostly in the hard sciences or in Criminology, though.

[karnage]

I don’t care who y’are. That’s funny right there.

[Dr.Deth]

I just got my order of "is gay" bumper stickers so I can repair all the Obama bumper stickers in Santa Barbara. You can get them at www.isgay.com

Do they have a stylized 'D' that fits over the 'H' in 'got hope'?

Remember when those "I (heart) _________" [NY/my kids/my dog/my cat/etc] bumper stickers were all the rage? There was a gag store in my neighborhood that sold stickers of a screw that fit perfectly over the heart. I don't care who you are, that's funny right there.

[Our man in washington]

Top ten moonbat reasons 1+1 can not equal 2:

10. Many rich white males say that it does, so we have to consider their real motives.

9. Integers emphasize the corporate model of the separation of things rather than their fundamental unity.

8. The number 1, from its phallic shape to its association with monotheism, is a patriarchal concept. Implying that duplication of the partiarchy equals the more feminine 2 is an attempt to redefine feminism in the male experience.

7. The use of the number 2 is an attempt to denormalize and silence polygamy.

6. The equation only uses so-called positive numbers, and therefore negates the experience of 50 percent of the integers.

5. Furthermore, the use of “positive” numbers shows a state of denial when so many negative things are happening under the Bush-Cheney junta.

4. The use of addition posits a model of unlimited growth in a world that is already straining under man’s domination.

3. It is racist and sexist to talk about equality in a world where inequality is the norm.

2. The equation is a distraction from the crimes of the Bush-Cheney regime.

1. It’s teaching to the test!

I am a Californian also, that is why I warned you, just trying to be helpful. I an not a native however, having moved here when I was 3 years old, couldn't help it, my mother moved and insisted my brother and I come along with her!

I was just letting you know not to get caught, however you seem to have it well in hand and good luck. I am going to order some of those myself, so if you see any that don't look familiar, maybe, just maybe, I put them there!

[Zevonismymuse]

I don’t care who y’are. That’s funny right there.

It is funny. Even my many Pinko friends can't help but giggle. My husband just set up my email address on my cell phone so while I am out "campaigning" today I will take some pictures and send them to myself so I can post pictures this evening.

[Zevonismymuse]

I was just letting you know not to get caught

I appreciate your concern. Just rest assured that I am able to find the good in any situation and if I get caught I will insist that they arrest me and I will get maximum publicity and fully exploit the situation to make me look fun and them look small and mean spirited.

"You might be a moonbat if..."

You consider college professor Ward Churchill a great intellect.

August, 2003: Ward Churchill Caught On Tape Advocating Terrorism [vs Fellow Americans]

Audio link at Michell Malkin's website (included below)

Question from audience:
You mentioned a little bit ago, "Why did it take a bunch of Arabs to do what you all should have done a long time ago," that's my question.

Churchill: I'm gonna repeat that, tell me if I got that right: Why shouldn't we do something and how do you you move so they don't see you coming.

As to the first part, not a reason in the world that I could see. I can't find a single reason that you shouldn't in a principled way —there may be some practical considerations, such as do you know how (laughter from audience)

—you know, often these things are processes. It's not just an impulse. And certainly it's not just an event.

And the simple answer, although it probably should be more complicated, but I'm not being flip and giving the simple answer, is:
You carry the weapon. That's how they don't see it coming. You're the one...

They talk about "color blind or blind to your color." You said it yourself.

You don't send the Black Liberation Army into Wall Street to conduct an action.

You don't send the American Indian Movement into downtown Seattle to conduct an action.

Who do you send? You. Your beard shaved, your hair cut close, and wearing a banker's suit.

There's probably a whole lot more to it, you know that. But there's where you start. ..."

Churchill, 1 day after the 911 attacks...

"As for those in the World Trade Center... Well, really, let's get a grip here, shall we? True enough, they were civilians of a sort. But innocent? Gimme a break. They formed a technocratic corps at the very heart of America's global financial empire - the 'mighty engine of profit' to which the military dimension of U.S. policy has always been enslaved - and they did so both willingly and knowingly. Recourse to 'ignorance' - a derivative, after all, of the word 'ignore' - counts as less than an excuse among this relatively well-educated elite. To the extent that any of them were unaware of the costs and consequences to others of what they were involved in - and in many cases excelling at - it was because of their absolute refusal to see. More likely, it was because they were too busy braying, incessantly and self-importantly, into their cell phones, arranging power lunches and stock transactions, each of which translated, conveniently out of sight, mind and smelling distance, into the starved and rotting flesh of infants. If there was a better, more effective, or in fact any other way of visiting some penalty befitting their participation upon the little Eichmanns inhabiting the sterile sanctuary of the twin towers, I'd really be interested in hearing about it.[1]

All moonbats mighthave ponytails but not all ponytailed people are moonbats. My Dh’s hair is longer than mine is but our politics don’t match our looks.

All moonbats might have ponytails but not all ponytailed people are moonbats.

I never said that. Churchill is a moonbat leader because of the things he's said and done.
