fun with wingnuts

When not on DU, I often engage in heated debate with wingnuts on my local topix forum. (Topix is basically neutral ground). Today I headlined a thread using the "Rmoney" spelling, and they really went off, probably because they realized this might actually be used in campaign commercials.

Anyone else have any funny stories of wingnut encounters? What are your favorite methods of getting under their skin?

WHERES THE DONUTS!?

I nonchalantly refer to wingnut groups and etc as 'hate groups' or 'anti-american terrorists' which isn't untrue.

Also, I love doughnuts but they don't love me. I have had comical encounters with wingnuts online when things didn't descend to the level of second grade namecalling... I would give you a doughnut but they got rid of the icon! (There used to be one.)
