<br>BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!<br><br>i crack myself up sometimes....</blockquote><div><br>Carrying this metaphor through I have to conclude that the normal usage of the term "wingut" (as a term to describe the right wing fringe) is correct. All the threads run in the same predictable direction. Our fringe on the left is oriented in wildly overlapping directions, rather like a nut with stripped threads. When I'm in conversation with my right wing friends I can play a little game. I can spend three or four nights listening to Sean Hannity, then infuriate my friends by finishing their sentences That requires that all the threads run in a predictable direction. The only thing we leftists share is a firm commitment to the Alinsky dictum to ridicule wingnuts at every opportunity. We were all trained by Saul Alinsky, at a Madrasah in Kenya.<br>
