RightWingNews ‘25 Worst Figures in American History’
RightWingNews decided to ask a bunch of mostly irrelevant right-wing bloggers to come up with a list of up to 20 people they thought of as the worst Americans in history. They then calculated how many times any person appeared in these lists, and ranked them based on this number. Hilarity ensues.
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)
Yes, that’s right. Jimmy Carter, Barack Obama, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt are the three worst Americans of all time according to the wingnut blogosphere, ahead of terrorists, spies, and assassins. Lee Harvey Oswald doesn’t even make it on the list. Apparently, filming a documentary about global warming, George W Bush, or health care makes one a worse American than KILLING THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. Also, no leaders of the Confederacy, no Southern segregationist assholes, but we do have Saul Alinsky and Noam Chomsky. Good lord.
