MOONBATS ON PARADE

By Michelle Malkin
March 16, 2005 11:13 AM

My new column pokes fun at the anti-war activists who will be descending on N.Y., Washington, San Diego, Fayetteville, and other major media markets this weekend to protest the Iraqi "occupation." Among the loony luminaries turning out for the parades:

Rep. Maurice Hinchey
Charles Barron
Convicted terrorist conspirator Lynne Stewart
Saddam Hussein legal counsel Ramsey Clark
Code Pink

I also answer a question frequently asked by many of my newspaper column readers who aren't familiar with the blogosphere and its colorful terminology: What is a moonbat?

Here's the conclusion:

The Bush-bashers, as always, have impeccable timing. Nothing highlights the bankrupt obstructionism of the anti-war movement more than the inspiring photos of the renaissance of freedom taking place in Lebanon. Contrast the faces of hope and defiance against terrorism pictured at the massive rallies in Beirut's Martyrs Square this week with the faces of Bush hatred and capitulation to terrorism that you'll see this weekend. Any question about who's winning?

Seasoned observers who cover the War on Terror in the "blogosphere" (the increasingly influential world of Internet weblogs) have a useful term for the American Left's protesters against progress: moonbats. Perry de Havilland of the blog Samizdata defined a moonbat as "someone on the extreme edge of whatever their -ism happens to be."

Surveying this bizarre array of grim-faced parade organizers on the extreme edge of anti-Americanism, it's clear: The barking Left has been left behind. And it's driving them batty.
