These are the idiots that give the right wing a bad name.

These wastes of flesh recently polled themselves with the question, who are the twenty worst figures in history?



Honorable Mentions: Ted Bundy (5), Jane Fonda (5), John Wayne Gacy (5), John Walker Lindh (5), Joe McCarthy (5), Michael Moore (5), Boss Tweed (5)

17) Franklin Delano Roosevelt (6)
17) John Walker (6)
17) Lee Harvey Oswald (6)
17) Robert Byrd (6)
16) Aldrich Ames (7)
14) Richard Nixon (8)
14) Aaron Burr (8)
12) Al Sharpton (9)
12) Charles Manson (9)
8) Timothy McVeigh (10)
8) Lyndon Johnson (10)
8) Hillary Clinton (10)
8) John Wilkes Booth (10)
7) Alger Hiss (12)
6) Noam Chomsky (13)
4) Jesse Jackson (14)
4) Jimmy Carter (14)
3) Bill Clinton (15)
2) Benedict Arnold (19)
1) The Rosenbergs (15) & Julius Rosenberg (5) (20 total votes)


Any group of people who honestly think Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter and Jesse Jackson are worse than Charles Manson need to chlorinated from the gene pool as quickly as possible. Pathetic sacks of filth. God, I hate neo-cons.

That's okay, I also read the list the Left Wingers came up with and it is equally stupid.

I think they went looking for the dumbest people in the country and polled them on both sides.

It does depend on your point of view. Are we going on just people who have killed people or convinced other people to kill people? Or are we going on lasting negative impact on the largest number of people?

I can see Jimmy Carter on the list because he opened trade relations with China and many people see that as unemploying Americans.

Bill Clinton because he lied to us. And that really has made being President of the United States of America a laughing stock to many people. I see it as a wake-up call myself.

So lessee, among their top 20 worst figures in history we have Jimmy Carter, possibly a lackluster President but one of the finest statesmen in recent US history; we have Richard Nixon (Watergate aside, "Only Nixon could go to China"); and we have FDR, who by most accounts pulled the US out of the Great Depression.

Conspicuous by their omission are such luminaries as Adolf Hitler, Heinrich Himmler, Josef Stalin, Josef Mengele (aka the Angel of Death)... and that's just in the 20th century.

And what the hell is Noam Chomsky doing in there?!? They must be smoking some really stroooong shit.
