I PRESENT YOU....


THE FLIP SIDE!


(This is definitely not the side I'm on..)

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.

Or perhaps you agree with the resident wingnut, here?

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

I made it at last! Now I feel like part of the family.

It would be nice to have this put together by someone who knows something about politics. I have been called a lot of things (whore, hag idiot in recent day here) but never a wing nut.

wing nut


Short for "a right-wing nut". Popularized in blogs and throughout the Internet. Used to refer to those who unquestioningly accept and repeat right-wing propaganda no matter how outrageous or unbelieveable.

As opposed to normal conservatives who have relatively independent minds--those few that remain.

I suggested to nimh that he change it to "nutcase." Would that make you feel better?

Welcome, welcome... you're a rare breed though; you're actually on the cusp of the regular, ordinary, sane people circle. Not many who can say that.

"yellow dog" is nothing but a pointless sneer.

I thought it had long since been taken up as a ... how do you call that in English ... when a group of people is called something, pejoratively, but at some point adopts the label itself, defiantly?

In Dutch we call it a "geuzennaam", after the Geuzen, who once upon a time battled for Dutch independence from Spain, and had adopted their name from what they were originally disparagingly called by the powers that be (gueux = beggars)...

"Yellow dog" is a term that was originally created by the Southern Democrats and was used to insult Republicans, in that they would vote for an old yellow dog before they'd vote for Republicans.
