As they used to say on the old Hour 25 radio show, here's a question for the Group Mind:

On right-wing discussion boards I see left-wingers and other progressives referred to constantly as "moonbats". What's the origin and meaning of this term?

I dunno what it means, though. Something about being loony and bats.
