Cross of being a "lunatic" and having "bats in one's belfry."

"Barking moonbat" was the original usage.
Barking moonbat (definition) noun. Someone on the extreme edge of whatever their -ism happens to be.

He must have come up with it in early 1950 because I have used it since then.
It could be, it was just borrowed by the LIBELtarian party.

In re a reference you might find interesting:
Monbiot
I'm wagering "moonbat" came from a very fascinating debate between Libertarian and "Monbiot".
Monbiot is a raver for "social change" and one world order. In England. You might check out what this guy, Mr. Socialist, says. Yep. He's a Moonbiot.
