Good For A Laugh: Right-Wing Bloggers Choose 25 Worst Figures In American History

Right Wing Bloggers Choose '25 Worst Figures In American History'

"The blog Right Wing News asked 'more than a hundred bloggers' who they thought were the worst people in American history. The results may shock you! Or maybe not. Jane Fonda makes the cut, along with FDR. Let's look.

This question was put out to over 100 crazies with internet connections:

Out of all the gangsters, serial killers, mass murderers, incompetent & crooked politicians, spies, traitors, and ultra left-wing kooks in all of American history — have you ever wondered who the worst of the worst was?"

Some of the answers are a given, but some (Richard Nixon?!) are a little surprising considering who did the voting. And some are actually pretty good (Michael Moore, Timothy McVeigh). Those questioned were asked to rank as many as 20 people from America's past and present who they felt fit the bill. Here are the results, from 43 bloggers who responded:"


23) Saul Alinsky (7)
23) Bill Clinton (7)
23) Hillary Clinton (7)
19) Michael Moore (7)
19) George Soros (8)
19) Alger Hiss (8)
19) Al Sharpton (8)
13) Al Gore (9)
13) Noam Chomsky (9)
13) Richard Nixon (9)
13) Jane Fonda (9)
13) Harry Reid (9)
13) Nancy Pelosi (9)
11) John Wilkes Booth (10)
11) Margaret Sanger (10)
9) Aldrich Ames (11)
9) Timothy McVeigh (11)
7) Ted Kennedy (14)
7) Lyndon Johnson (14)
5) Benedict Arnold (17)

I posted a comment at the site to the effect that that blogger's comment was stupid. Frankly, I don't know what he was talking about. (Maybe a joke?)

7. I knew #1 wasn't a favorite in the Land of a Thousand Fruitcakes ... but THAT'S their leading
contender for the title "Worst Person in American history" ? ? ?

Sometimes, I really wish we had a Mars Colony where we could send some of these folk to cultivate pickle orchards

8. Can someone please explain to me
Why the right hates Jimmy Carter so much? I really dont understand that at all. I mean I dont expect them to like him, but #1 worst person in American history? Seriously, I would fully understand if FDR was #1 but Carter, I just dont get it.

13. why the right hates Jimmy Carter
Because he is compassionate and intelligent. Two qualities few of them possess.

14. Yeah but..
almost everyone on that list possesses those two qualities, I am just wondering how a guy like him could end up as the worst person in American history according to these guys.

15. Carter, as a sitting president, came out for diminishing the military-industrial complex.
He cut military programs, he promoted alternative energy, and he supported human rights. (Yes, he did some bad stuff too, you and I know that.)

They can't forgive him for that, because empire and the military is where their loyalty lies, not with the U.S. per se. Roosevelt gets a pass compared to Carter because of being the CIC during WWII.

Anyone still living who is on that list should wear it as a BADGE OF HONOR. They are the enemies of a DOMESTIC enemy of the United States. They are PATRIOTS

16. Margaret Sanger? Really??
I just checked under my bed. She wasn't rolling around down there with Saul Alinsky. Or Bill Clinton.

These people are crazy.
