We really ought to change the definition of fundie on the FAQ. Notice that political fundies tend to get low scores and hordes of people going "THIS ISN'T RELIGIOUS SO ITS NOT FUNDIE!!!" Prime example here: www.fstdt.net/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=64230Score of 4 despite the strawman level of thought and half the comments are variations of "This isn't fundie!".

That might be a good idea. There are so many fuckwitted conservatives online, and we can separate the two into different categories without having too few in one and too many in the other ^_^

New category: Wingnuts STDT. We can easily fit Free Republic, RR, Moonbattery, World Net Daily, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, Michael Savage and Mark Levin into that category.

Still would be nice to have a separate category for nonreligious wingnuttery. A lot of people tend to think Fundie = religious, and classify political fundies as wingnuts.

The Wingnuts section idea could work, just as long as it mocks both sides of the spectrum. There are just as many left-wing loonies as there are righties, but I have a feeling that the section would turn very biased in a short amount of time. Well, yeah. The fstdt membership does... tend slightly to the liberal side. Okay, we're a bunch of pinko McGovernicks. ;D

Don't worry, PETA has all the liberal wingnuttery you could ever dream of.

Should we poll everyone and see what they think? I mean, I'm all for it. You could put Rush Limbaugh as the picture, right next to the alien, Cartman and Machine Gun Jesus.

Maybe a picture of Rush VS Al Sharpton?

Dammit Freydis, I just got an image of Geddy Lee shooting lasers from a bass guitar at Al Sharpton in my head because of a combination of your post and listening to 2112.

Nah, the picture should be something representative of the category as a whole, like the others, rather than specific examples. I don't have any ideas, though.

Here's a wingnut picture that could be used: I don't think Obama is nearly lefty enough to compete with Hitler. Maybe Malcolm X, Lenin (the Russian, not the Beatle), Mao...or someone of that nature.
