Antedating of "Feminazi"

[Fred Shapiro]

feminazi (OED 1990)

1989 _L.A. Times_ 4 July (Westlaw)  "The day of the unborn is here," the
Rev. Louis P. Sheldon, chairman of the Orange County-based Traditional
Values Coalition, declared to cheers and cries of "Amen!" from
anti-abortion activists holding placards reading, "Thank You Lord for This
Victory in Life" and "Feminazis Go Home."

[Here the term is not associated with Rush Limbaugh, but he may still well
be the coiner.]
