You said today that you couldn't define "wingnut" and that therefore
the term is meaningless.

Yet you constantly refer to "nutters" when referring to liberals and
others who disagree with you during your frequent OT barrages.

Here I am, freely admitting that your command of English exceeds mine.
So could you spell out the difference in meaning between the two? I'm
confused. Here's your statement:

I won't answer because I can't define a "wingnut".
Neither can you for that matter.

I hope you can understand my confusion...

I think it does. Using that definition, ultra-right religious types
are nutters. Ultra-left are also nutters. Ultra-fanatic Muslims are
nutters, as are ultra-fanatic christians.

Sadly, the center remains pretty much unrepresented, at least since
Clinton left office.

Well, lookee there! We agree on something.

Now how about those nutters who are against joining every single
industrialized nation WRT health care? Crazy, huh?
