A bunch of wingnut blogs got together to nominate the 25 worst Americans in history. Enjoy the delusion.
Well, that’s enough about the rules — without further ado, the worst figures in American history are as follows (with the number of votes following each selection)…
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)
5) Woodrow Wilson (17)
4) The Rosenbergs (19)
3) Franklin Delano Roosevelt (21)
2) Barack Obama (23)
1) Jimmy Carter (25)
According to wingnuts, there are 8 people worse than Tim McVeigh! Where’s Al Capone or Ted Bundy? Obviously they’re not as evil as Bill or Hillary Clinton.
h/t Balloon Juice
A pretty good list of losers and idiots who have done nothing for the world. OOOPs, that is the definition of a liberal.
Angry at their own failures and jealous of anyone’s success.
Hmmm…so serial killers like Ted Bundy get a pass. Segregationists like George Wallace and Bull Connor get a pass. KKK founder Nathan Bedford Forrest gets a pass. Gangsters like Al Capone get a pass. RWNJs and their fellow nuts like truth think people who hurt their fee-fees by being liberal are the worst Americans. Good to know.
Damn! denied a spot on the list AGAIN! I must not be trying hard enough.
Nixon is #13
Carter before Nixon?
and is Joe McCarthy being prepped for rehab now?
Allowing conservatives to leave the union and form thier own Wingnut Republic is looking good to me. There is no doubt absent Grown ups they would soon be a fucktarded economic client state.
“Angry at their own failures and jealous of anyone’s success.”
Pretty good working definition of a right-winger ya got there.
I’m actually a little surprised they have admitted he is an American.
and is Joe McCarthy being prepped for rehab now
wingnuts are working at rehabbing McCarthy as we speak. Coulter (or one of the wingut welfare authors) wrote a book in defense of the guy and winguts have been trying to portray him as a hero all over…
If they asked the folks at DelawarePolitics, they would put Mike Castle on the list.
Jason used to be the biggest Castle-basher in Delaware, but now he has to give up the crown.
I demand Margaret Sanger be removed from the list. Please leave that as a “fill in the blank”–and I’m thinking.
does anyone find it odd that i think 20 of the 25 are politicians?
that was sarcasm right?
anyone also find it odd that a large number are democrats from the last 30 years? Meaning, if it hadn’t been for them.. according to the Bags, we would be living in a Tea-bag utopia free of mosques, gays, and unarmed people.
…a Tea-bag utopia free of mosques, gays, unarmed people, taxes, schools, roads, electrical grids, vaccines, etc…etc…
Margaret Sanger’s mother, Anne Purcell Higgins, was a devout Catholic who went through 18 pregnancies (with 11 live births) before dying of tuberculosis and cervical cancer.
Wow. What a silly list. It’s not even internally consistent.
ADD.
Proof that conservative have no knowledge of history
Finally wingnuts admit Obama is an American.
lol
Also, where is Andy Reid? I call bullshit.
Tea Bagtopia – I know where that promised land is…..
Arizona!! specifically Maricopa County – otherwise know as Sand Land
you gotta check out this link to a billboard that was recently put up there

crack me up and call me pieces – but its also sad too – this is what we have come to in this country
Benedict Arnold?? I guess I should be glad they at least have some knowledge of who he is, but it sounds like they think he’s the Judas Iscariot of the early United States of America. As far as I recall, Arnold didn’t even accomplish much with his treachery and failed in several of his plots until he was exposed and fled. He was a huge whiner too, which is why he turned traitor. Not exactly nefarious, just petulant. But there he goes with fifth place.
And weren’t the Rosenbergs framed or something?
My understanding of the Rosenbergs is that Julius Rosenberg was almost certainly guilty but that Ethel Rosenberg was not. Ethel Rosenberg’s execution is considered a historical injustice. I think her children are trying to clear her name.
interesting note on that, I did a report on the Rosenburgs in 12th grade. In it, i pretty much defended them as innocent based on Ethel’s brother’s testimony. On the way to school THEY DAY IT WAS DUE, an NPR report stated that David Greenglass, on his deathbed, admitted to lying under oath and they were both guilty.
The family admits Julius Rosenberg was a spy. There are still doubts about Ethel’s guilt.
They still go after Jane Fonda after all of these years. Wow! The only reason she should be on this list is because of her workout videos.
i wonder how much convincing it took to put McVeigh on there. I thought most wingnuts considered him a hero.
Ok, thanks for the clarification.
DISREGARD MY POST, I’M AN ASSHOLE
That’s the truth, truth.
