Maybe stretch Roxxxxy's name to just barely touch the Angry Men bubble?
And I think you accidentally placed Revel in the ordinary, regular, sane people bubble.

Interesting ....
Now if google returns 4,540 hits for the search "liberal wingnut," ...
... but only 1,620 hits for the search, "conservative wingnut," ...
does that satisfy your definition of the term, "almost exclusively"?
Using Google totals without understanding what they represent is a really dumb way of proving things. Your selection of terms has more to do with your results than real differences in use.
E.g. here are selections in diametric opposition to your conclusions.
"right wingnut" (in quotes) - 23,700
"left wingnut" (in quotes) - 5,640
"left wing nut" (in quotes) - 90,000
"right wing nut" (in quotes) - 243,000
wingnut politics right - 844,000
wingnut politics left - 753,000
I don't care, Bob. I made my point. It's clearly not "exclusively" a reference to conservatives. Or perhaps you agree with the resident wingnut, here?
But thanks for your technical analysis.

Interesting. I would like too meet all these people just to see how close you really are to nailing them. Conserative and liberal and wingnuts.

I'm now sorta of front and center and out of my original bubble- is that good?
Am I floating away from the Sane bubble or towards it? I think BBB is more of a radical.

Beside being a lot of horseshit, this also continues to fail to be reasonably inclusive. Where's Cyclopticorn? Where's Parados? Both of them have often (in Cyclo's case, usually) been active on political threads.

Anyone who has any political acumen whatsoever knows wing nut refers to right wingers.
So are you saying that even though there is more then one definition, the only one that counts is yours?
I have seen the word used thousand of times since I have been in the net in the last tne years and I have never seen it used to describe anyone but a right-wing nut. Anyone who has read as many blogs as I have over the years would know that I am right.
I will put up thousand dollars to anyone who wants to wager that I can prove that the word is used to describe right-wing nuts almost exclusively.
This is a sterling example of her limited world view. "It can only be them."

Pretty pretty bubbles. I saved it to my computer. I think the organizers, idealists and radicals also need to overlap - i would put some distance between soz and ebrown, he's more of a radical...but also organizer and idealist... but not everything can overlap, i guess. eh, good work.

I agree that the political term "wingnut" is an abbreviation of "right wingnut".
