Mike Malloy's term for politicians (and their civilian marks) at the extreme, scary end of US conservatism - it comes from his having been frightened by the flying monkeys in The Wizard of Oz as a child. Tom DeLay, Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, Jesse Helms, Newt Gingrich, et mucho cetera, for example. In comparison, people like John McCain or John Chafee or the late Barry Goldwater are just plain old non-scary, somewhat honorable, conservatives.
