As nervous Bush supporters watched the president's approval rating slide, they unleashed their wrath on Sheehan, labeling the mourning mom a “crazy,” “anti-Semite,” “left-wing moonbat,” “crackpot” whose behavior bordered on “treasonous” and who was nothing more than a “hysterical noncombatant.”
2006 September 3, William Safire, “Moon Bats & Wing Nuts”, in The New York Times Magazine[2]:

Judgment from a Darwinist Moonbat? lol!
2009 June 19, Paul Krugman, “The Froomkin firing”, The Conscience of a Liberal, in The New York Times[4]:
