Regardless, I hope to at least move the term into mainstream modern parlance. As the examples of the previous posts demonstrate, there are members of the lunatic fringe who manage to put together coherent sentences and organized thoughts (aside from being often bizarrely wrong). These people, at present, we have one William Dembski, a petulant PhD. with a penchant for screaming tard, a certain Ray Comfort who holds up a banana and points out how wonderful the perfectly the hand is built for self-pleasuring. This in an argument for the existence of God. And we have seen the movie “expelled: No intelligence Allowed” which really needs no further explanation as to its own ridiculousness.
The interesting thing about this particular wingnuttery, is that a small but vocal group of human beings identify with the material and take up the cause. Those people feed on the effluent produced at the nodes of lunatic fringe. The ideas, rantings, ravings, unbelievable numbnuttery and sheer bokersness of the originators of wingnuttery, are usually directly contrary to observed reality. The Dembskis, Comforts and propaganda “documentary” makers of the world stand up, back straight to the gale, staring the blot of reality straight in the face and proclaim, “Reality! Begone ye pesky spot! Out! Out damn spot, out I say! I do not believe in you!”
Which makes it all the more fascinating that they find people willing to take up their banner.
But do not make the mistake that wingnuttery is confined to the Christian Conservative movement in the United States. On the contrary, it is found at the edges of any idea. Environmentalism, economics, left-wing, right-wing, the wing stands for wingnut. And to all who believe so strongly in theiir convictions that they feel justified in discarding reality, being economical with the truth, flying into rages at those who would dare oppose your most perfect truth, to those people I say this:
You are absolutely fascinating. How can you manage to do it so consistently?
And, I will be quoting you so you might want to consider your statements.
Yeah. That’ll happen.

I do believe that you are saying that belief in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior is a belief held only by the lunatic fringe.
If that is waht you are saying, you might look around to notice that there is more fringe than garment.

Blackadder
what would be the expected circumference to area ratio of fringe to garment? is this a null model test for wingnuttery? or are you just looking to justify your own wingnuttery with democratic fallacies?

Hello Blackadder,
I think you may have a sampling error. And, wingnuttery should be more closely defined as believing things easily proven false and then taking as a personal mission to spread that belief in the face of the evidence.
