Reichwinger

[Dave Wilton]

Ran into a usage of "reichwinger" today, a blend of "third reich" and "right
winger" used to disparage political conservatives. I'd never heard it
before. Also "reich wing."

The earliest use I've been able to find (not that I've searched all that
thoroughly):

Bitnet, anon at queernet.org, Subject: Singapore/torture/Reich Wing/Queers,

little Reich Winger in you? Singapore is 3 times the area of Seattle and bit
more population then the entire western Washington Pugetropolis. The Reich
Wing in most of us applauds our new buddy beyond the valley of Mabon, in the
squeaky clean dream come true city police state."
