You will get some conflicting opinions here, but the answer is yes.  It is bad.  --Unless you like hot wires, overworking alternator, and stressing already weak circuits.  I suppose it could theoretically hurt you gas milage, too.
 
So long as I am in motion, my fans almost never run unless I turn on the A/C.  Especially this time of year...
