moonbat Moonbat is a term used in United States politics as a pejorative political epithet referring to progressives or leftists. ==Etymology== According to a 2006 article by ''New York Times'' self-described "language maven" William Safire, the term was first used by science fiction author Robert A. Heinlein in 1947. Heinlein used the term in a 1947 short story, "Space Jockey", as the name of a rocket spacecraft used for the third step of a journey from the Earth to the Moon. Descriptions of bat-like people on the Moon were part of the 1835 Great Moon Hoax. A long poem, ''The Proving of Gennad: A Mythological Romance'' by Landred Lewis (1890), uses the term "moonbat" to refer to unsound ideas, but not specifically political ones.
