moonbats and wingnuts

So, the governor of Boston, Deval Patrick, gave a 9/11 speech two days ago to the families who had lost loved ones in the attack, just a few comforting words to inspire continued healing during the long grieving process, to try and explain why bad things sometimes happen in the world. He just wanted to console the families and offer them a hug and an "i'm so sorry the world isn't always fair."

What was he supposed to say? Apparently, according to the article below, he should have brought a pitchfork and a torch and shouted from a chariot with spiked wheels about what bastards the extremists are and how hatred is the goal of grief.

Check it:

But my favorite part about the article, was that the author called the governor a "moonbat."

Moonbat (also "barking moonbat" and "moonbat crazy") is a term often used currently in U.S. politics as a political epithet referring to anyone that is liberal or on the left. "Wingnut" (or "right wing nut") is frequently preferred as the analogous epithet aimed at extremists on the political right.[1]

Oh, those silly wingnuts never cease to entertain and enrage me.
