For the Lounge Lizards: Nominate your picks for the 101 Worst Americans

[Chichiri]

(This is a doppleganger of a thread I made in GD; I'm repeating it here in order to reach those who avoid GD and GDP. Some days, I know exactly how you feel.)


I've started a project, and I request your assistance, DU.

I'm compiling a website to list the 101 worst Americans currently living; a sort of dynamic counter to Bernard Goldberg's "100 People Who Are Screwing Up America (And Al Franken Is #37)" -- which, in spite of the title, is actually a Who's Who of true American patriots. I'm seeking nominations of people to populate the list with.

There are the obvious choices, of course -- Bush, Cheney, Rove, Rumsfeld, Limbaugh, Murdoch, Coulter, etc. -- but there may be some really terrible Americans out there that I, like most people, don't know of and haven't considered. I'd like to hear suggestions from both of those groups, along with, if you would, a brief word about WHY they are among the 101 worst Americans.

Obviously, the more names I have to choose from, the better and more accurate the list will be.

So, who wants to start?

[sakabatou]

1. President Harding, the Phelps Clan, Kathrine Harris

Jeb Bush...

[Droopy]

2. I gotta go with Hannity

I hate that guy more than I do Limbaugh.

[Liberal Veteran]

3. The thing that gets me about Hannity is how he brags about his faith...

...and yet never, not once have I heard express anything remotely resembling the teaching of the founder of his faith.

[Droopy]

17. Yep

And somehow he's managed to get a huge audience to buy into that bullshit that he passes off for intelligent conversation. The guy is anti-intellectual but he's got his audience convinced that he's smarter than they are. But the thing that get's me the most is his self-righteous, holier than thou attitude. I'd like to punch the fucker and I'm anti-violence.

[Liberal Veteran]

20. Me too....that guy has a BIG surprise waiting for him at the pearly gates.

When he finds out God doesn't really truck with the self-righteous hypocrites and we'll see how easy it is for that camel to pass through the eye of the needle. I have a feeling there will be a caravan of camels passing through needles before his ass enters heaven.

[candy]

4. Michael Savage---no contest! God,what a hater he is.

[LeftyDarthBrodie]

21. Michael Weiner

I try not to call him by his stage name. Or I just call him Michael "Savage" Weiner. Self loathing Jew and all around hater.

[jonnyblitz]

5. that dipshit that started the swiftboat vets thing. the one who

debated kerry about the vietnam war on that variety show in 1971, the dick cavette show i think. HE who was basically working for the Nixon admin to attempt to debunk Kerry and the other anti-war vets. I can't believe I don't remember his name. HELP!! :P

anyways that asshat should be on the list..

[Chichiri]

12. something o'neil, wasn't it?

[ghostsofgiants]

13. John O'Neill

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_O%27Neill_%28Vietnam_veteran%29

[jonnyblitz]

15. thats him!!! nt

[njdemocrat106]

55. Add Jerome Corsi, too

O'Neill's accomplice in the Smear Boat Vets campaign.

[jonnyblitz]

16. yep..him. he should be on the list..nt

[SOteric]

6. Ken Lay

[JimmyJazz]

7. Sean Hannity, Ken Lay, Katherine Harris and then the usual suspects

Cheney, Bush, Rummy, Condi, Rove, Asscroft...The list is endless!

[SOteric]

8. Tom Delay and his redistricting posse

[SOteric]

9. Jerry Falwell

[SOteric]

10. James Dobson

[SOteric]

11. Fred Phelps

[BlueIris]

38. YES. This man is the closest thing to EVIL I've seen in a long time.

And he was born and raised right here. Thanks, America!

[ghostsofgiants]

14. Ann Coulter would be an obvious choice I think

This is somewhat similar to an idea for an art book I had, actually. I would get my artist friends to donate drawings of various conservative jackasses and accompany the drawings with quotes and such showing why they're jackasses.

[blondeatlast]

18. Richard Mellon Scaife. Reprehensible.

Rev. Sun Myung Moon, spiritual advisor to the Neocons and owner of the Washington Times.

[Bat Boy]

22. Ding ding ding ding!

Scaife's #1 on my list. It's not the guy that pulls the trigger, it's the guy that pays him to do it.

Rush, for bringing right wing radio out of the primordial ooze and into the gutter where everyone can see it.

Reagan was a huge help...

[benny05]

19. Hassert, Sensebrenner, Santorium, Ken Starr

Ralph Reed, Gingrich, Rafael Resindes Ramirez, Novak (traitor to our country), Sam Brownback, Michael Jackson

[Chichiri]

23. How about some less obvious choices?

[LeftyDarthBrodie]

24. With this post I enter "The 700 Club" so

I must nominate Pat Robertson.

How about the current CEO of Wal-Mart added to the list?

[Chichiri]

27. Yeah, Sam Walton is dead, I believe, so we can't use him.

A bit of Googling shows that Lee Scott is the current CEO. Does he deserve to be on the list?

[SeanQuinn]

28. Yes, oh, yeah, he does!

Anyone with a wage of $9 an hour and no health insurance working for a man who reported his yearly income of $17,543,739 works for a quite evil man.

[LeftyDarthBrodie]

32. He is setting the policy

Was the ani-union stance a Sam Walton thing or the new leadership once Wal-Mart got huge?

[Midnight Rambler]

25. Rupert Murdoch

I do believe he is a citizen, became one just to circumvent non-citizen ownership laws.

On the non-political side, I nominate Paris Hilton.

[Catchawave]

26. Pat Robertson

...evil, evil man...

[Zuni]

29. P-Diddy, whoever invented techno music, alternative rockers

[Emops]

30. Well, Ann Coulter is obvious,

unless you're limiting the list to humans.

Here's some more nominees:

-Ken "Tom" Blackwell
-Rod Parsley (just check out his website)
-David Whorowitz
-John Cornyn
-Can't forget the Judases (Judi?): Lieberman, Biden and Zell

[Arkana]

31. Oh, don't get me started.

My top 10:

1. Dick Cheney. He only gets the top spot cause everyone knows he's the Sith Lord behind the apprentice.

2. George Dumbyass Bush. Duh.

3. Karl Rove. The evil architect behind the facade.

4. The entire Phelps family. These people deserve to be shot.

5. Condoleezza Rice. How does this woman sleep at night?

6. Rush Limbaugh. Why? Because he has succeeded in brainwashing millions of Americans into thinking that Republican policies have any beneficial effect on them if they are not one of the elite 5% of the country.

7. Ronald Reagan. He started all of this.

8. Britney Spears. God, do I hate this broad. Plus, I needed a non-politically motivated entry.

9. Jerry Falwell. Blaming gays for 9/11 is about as despicable as you can possibly be.

10. Rev. Sun Myung Moon. The sinister background this guy has is enough to make a grown man shiver in terror. Plus he owns the Moonie Times.

EDIT: There are so many competitors for the top spots that it'll be hard to decide. Personally, I wouldn't think that the 101st is any better than the 1st.

[LeftyDarthBrodie]

33. Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas

Can we still count Ronald Reagan?

[Jara sang]

34. Pat Robertson

[Dastard Stepchild]

35. I've always found Phyllis Schlafly very offensive...

This is her drivel site.

http://www.eagleforum.org/column/

[General Zod]

36. John Gibson

Easily the worst of all the Fox News Fucktards.

[dajoki]

44. and...

shit fume:crazy:

[XemaSab]

37. James Dobson

and Henry Kissinger.

[Initech]

50. James Dobson definately. The head of the Ameritaliban!

[BlueIris]

39. Is it possible I haven't seen Santorum on here, yet?

Well, HE SHOULD BE. Because? Damn.

[dajoki]

45. he's on, but worth repeating

whacko:eyes:

[UrbScotty]

40. Dick DeVos - former president of Amway, '06 candidate for MI gov

http://demopedia.democraticunderground.com/index.php/Amway

[Borgnine]

41. Bernard Goldberg.

I honestly don't know how his pathetic temper tantrum of a list has been on the best-seller list for a month.

[dajoki]

43. limpballs has got to be on list

:silly:

[nickgutierrez]

46. Karl Rove - dirty bastard. n/t

[WCGreen]

47. Billy Graham.....

Perhaps the most reprehesable of the so called christians....

He has given public cover to some of the most evil people in the world today while shunning more respected and true christians.....

[lpbk2713]

48. Ollie North, James Baker

Nancy Raygun

[Initech]

49. Jerry Falwell

He HAS to be on this list, no questions asked.

[Poiuyt]

51. Barry Bonds

What an example to our children. Not only does he cheat, but he's an asshole to boot.

[Initech]

58. You could pretty much include all steroid abusers.

[cubschicago]

73. Er....

Bonds is an idiot, but there are bigger ones out there.

[fortyfeetunder]

52. The Walton Family

that, is the folks who own Wal-Mart....

[GoddessOfGuinness]

53. Reagan

In his zeal to pull down the Iron Curtain, he spent the US into horrific debt and forced thousands of mentally ill people from hospitals to life under bridges and in dumpsters.

[GaYellowDawg]

54. WTF, y'all?!? No one mentioned G. Gordon Liddy!!!

Talk about your all-time thug. He would have made a perfect henchman for Hitler or Stalin, too. In America, rule of law is supposed to supercede loyalty to any one man. G. Gordon Liddy, in his drooling devotion to Nixon, is the antithesis of the American ideal. Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln... all would have had as much contempt for him as I do.

[Poiuyt]

76. How can you hate a guy like this:

[6000eliot]

56. David Horowitz

in addition to the scumbags already mentioned. I have less of a problem with old-school conservatives than these scum-sucking neocon bastards.

[enigmatic]

57. Jimmy Swaggert and Father Coughlin

Both have to be on there.

[Initech]

59. Arnold Schwarzenegger

[Initech]

60. Toby Keith (who should be #37 on this list)

Not only is the guy a total psychotic GOP ass kisser, he's also a horrible musician to boot.

[Montauk6]

61. It's a sure stretch, and you may disapprove but here goes...

I just have three nominees (well, two would share a spot) I'd throw in (if it's any consolation, I wouldn't include them in the top 10).

1. Gary David Goldberg, creator of "Family Ties" - He gave the world "Alex B. Keaton" who almost singlehandedly made young conservatism cool in the very key-moment, pivotal 80s.

2. Barry Levinson & David Mamet - These two geniuses collaborated on what turned out to be a highly overrated yet very destructive (in hindsight) motion picture, "Wag The Dog."

[sandnsea]

62. L. Brent Bozell

Behind a bunch of right wing groups includin Parent Television Council. Robert Welch, founder of the John Birch Society.

Lynde & Harry Bradley
John Olin
Sarah Scaife Foundation
Smith Richardson Foundation

The Four Sisters who fund all of this madness. Three Sisters now, the Olin Foundation has used all of its money in accordance to what Olin directed. Thank god for small favors I guess.

[Jamastiene]

63. Jessie Helms, George Bush (that entire family)

Ronald Reagan, and the imfamous, ex-Senator, Mcarthy and his "commie" trials and blacklisting methods.

[NoPasaran]

64. Grover Norquist

And whoever invented "reality" Television

[Richardo]

71. My first candidate

WTG, NoPasaran

[JI7]

65. those 3 assholes on Fox and Friends in the morning

E.D. Hill, Steve doofus, and that Brian Kilmeade prick.

[chknltl]

66. Eric Cartman

I'm a hippy, ;-)

[JI7]

67. Rudy Giuliani and that idiot Bernard Goldberg

who wrote that book about the media being liberal.

[LynneSin]

68. If you want to truly do a Goldberg, you have to toss in a few token "dems"

Goldberg's book included Michael Savage, Jimmy Swiggart and even Ken Lay. But especially with those first 2, it's not like Goldberg could hurt his career by flaming already disgraced Savage & Swiggart.

So I suppose we could toss in some 'liberals' like Alan Colmes (for being a doormat to Sean Hannity in the show that Al Franken calls Hannity and Colmes

We can also toss in Zell Miller because even though he calls himself a democrat he's just well, an idiot

[Initech]

70. Good one - Zell Miller

Talk about a traitor to the cause!

[Initech]

69. Jeb Bush and Bill Frist

Two guys who need to be put in a persistant vegitative state.

[sniffa]

72. way ahead of ya

http://alfrankenweb.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=23800

i chose mike ditka, at #67 for the foLLowing reasons:

- no reason he shouLd be a househoLd name.
- has a mustache.
- made chicago footbaLL fans get stuck in 1985 (with cLothes and hair to match).
- ricky wiLLiams.
- the superbowL shuffLe.
- da bears.
- da saints.
- da possibLe opponent of obama.
- he makes me hate chewing gum.

[Liberalynn]

74. Ronald Regean number one in my book

he started the "Me" generation, think only of yourself. Also the king of the conservative rednecks. He may be dead but his "evil selfish legacy" lingers on.

I'd also add some of his disciples.

George Bush, Jr.
George Bush, Sr.
Newt Gingrich
Trent Lott
Ann Coulter
Pat Buchanan
Bob Novak
Jeb Bush

and here's a non political choice Jessica Simpson, someone who in my book is an over rated twit. I think it shows a sad trend of the public to be fasicnated by a person who is at least IMHO, banal, and virtually talentless.


Also Tom Cruise, someone who pretends to know it all, when he IMHO knows nothing. In my book he has an outward shell that seems pretty until you realize it contains virtually nothing of substance inside of it since he obviously lacks any sense of compassion or understanding of any one who isn't a carbon copy of his egotistical self. JMHO of course.

[madinmaryland]

75. Jeffrey Dahmer,

just because of what he did. I don't know if it is "worst", but its at least horrid.

[WhollyHeretic]

John Rowland, Jim DeMint, and George Steinbrenner

[WhollyHeretic]
