Poll question: Most Despised Right Wing Talk Show Hosts: The DU Drippy award

Here's your chance to throw a virtual pie in the face:thumbsdown:of someone you love to despise.:spank:Lets call it the the first DU Drippy award.:puke:Detest, despise, deride, deny, delete.:nuke:Have some fun with it. :-)

This is posted on behalf of Vote4Kerry who writes:
I wanted to see what other DUers thought of right-wing sycophant talk show hosts. I...was wondering if you could post a poll for me asking who the "worst right-wing media personality is" Here are some candidates:

[tuvor]

1. I salute those who vote!

You must've had the patience of saints to sift through all that garbage.

[jdots]

2. Liddy is not only a talking anus he is dangerous

the rest of these sub human urinal cake eaters are just along for the ride.Liddy is a stone nut case that should be under care.

[Warren DeMontague]

29. Of course, Liddy helped bring down Nixon through his ineptness

so in a way that does make him seem kind of like a big bald muppet.

[Warren DeMontague]

3. Where the hell is that spittle-monkey Savage?

He's gotta deserve SOME kind of recognition for utter, contemptible foulness.

[jamboi]

6. Okay, due to popular acclaim I added him. :-)

[Warren DeMontague]

27. Had to vote for him.

He's like Bile in a Can.

[Ken Burch]

90. Well, maybe we could arrange

for the "Queer Eye" team to do an ambush makeover on him.

[chicagojoe]

4. As well as voting in this poll,

I would also like to take this opportunity to remind everyone how much of a useless, cowardly pussy SEAN HANNITY is.
Sean Hannity couldn't possibly be more of a boot licking, offspring of a stray mutt than he already is.
Anytime, Seanny Girl, anytime.

[Cats Against Frist]

35. I'd like to second that n/t

[livinginphotographs]

78. Me third.

And by the way: best....username....ever.

[11 Bravo]

37. Agreed!

A tough choice, but I had to go with the smarmy little fuck. (Although if I encountered Michael Reagan and he was on fire, I MIGHT piss on him, but only on the parts that weren't burning.)

[Kahuna]

55. Hannity gets my vote. The boy is a li li li li li li li li LI-AAARRR!

The sad part is, he believes his lies.

[Wabbajack]

5. O'Scummly

because he won't even ADMIT HE IS RIGHTWING when he CLEARLY IS.

[Vote4Kerry]

7. Thanks for posting, Jamboi!! I voted for Hannity

He just puts out nothing but spin--and he does it on both the radio and tv!! It is bad enough people have to listen to his garbage on the radio, but then they get to see his garbage on tv as well! He makes me so mad--during the election, he kept insulting Teresa Heinz Kerry--I wanted to smack him! Ugh, he makes me sick!!

[glarius]

8. Dennis Miller is the WORST in my opinion because I don't think he even

believes the garbage he spews....It just serves his purposes to be right wing now, so he is....He's a complete phony, plus a BORE!...I despise him!

[Vote4Kerry]

9. Agreed..n/t

[jamboi]

10. Okay, added him. That's all the slots so can't add any more. n/t

[Barad Simith]

24. Yeah, I used to think he was funny...

...and I don't think my change of opinion is necessarily because he's now RW. I think he comes across as disingenuous. If he's going to do what he does so poorly, I guess I'm glad he's not on our side.

[Warren DeMontague]

28. Plus he should be bright enough to know better...

and he used to be marginally funny.

[noonwitch]

39. Poor Dennis, the people smart enough to get his jokes now loathe him

That's why his ratings suck. The people who he now tries to appeal to are just not smart enough to understand his jokes.

[prairie populist]

82. BINGO ... I used to buy his "Rant" books ...

They made me laugh like crazy even if I didn't always agree with his take on things.
Now he's just a partisan asshole without an original thought to impart.
You're right, the people he's pandering to don't get his sense of humor and the people who do get it now think he's a jerk.

[Supersedeas]

72. I put Gwen Ifil in this category.

[Ken Burch]

89. What?

Howdya figure Gwen is right wing?
Also, she never comes across as vicious or stupid.

[life_long_dem]

86. He hasn't been funny since the year, no, wait, he's never been

funny. It's only him laughing at his own stupidity.

I voted for hannity, just in case he is lurking I want him to see just how much he is loved here.

:puke:sean

[LiberalVoice]

11. You need a spot for MAnn Coulter.

She makes me nauteous.

[jamboi]

13. Sickens me too. But she's not a host, so I skipped her. We could do

another one for talking heads. :evilgrin:

[tsuki]

21. Shock jock-ette.

[jamboi]

12. I voted for Liddy because he's an out and out fascist. No crypto about

him. I can't understand why he's not in jail.

[Crunchy Frog]

14. I had to go with the Douchebag for Liberty on this one.

Committing actual treason puts Bob Novack over the top for me.

[Dream of the Flood]

15. Agreed

The man should be in jail. I saw a taping of CF at Columbus Circle. Man, you could feel the evil.

[Kahuna]

57. Welcome to DU, DOTF!

:hi: :toast:

[Not_Without_A_Fight]

18. Yeah, this was one of the hardest decisions of my life

But, I had to go with:

1. Bill 'Falafel' O'Reilly - due to the fact that his grotesque mug is irritatingly on every night and he cuts the mics of anyone who has anything truthful, verifiable or vaguely lucid to say.

2. Sean 'Motor Mouth' Hannity - is number two because he only asks questions that he actually answers himself.

3. Bob 'I don't even pretend to be concerned about my country anymore' Novak - only rated third in this race, because these days, among the conservative ranks, treason has become a mere petty crime. If you haven't run a torture camp or committed genocide you are just a two-bit hoodlum.

[Turn CO Blue]

54. OMG ROTFLMAO!

It's too bad that your intuitive understanding of these retched excuses for journalists (which should be obvious to anyone smarter than a chimp) should make me laugh so hard!

Gotta find the good where you can, I guess.

[tsuki]

22. Me too.

[chalky]

16. Should we send the winner a prize?

I'm picturing something gold plated and fecal.

My cat can step up production.

You know....anything to show the winner how much we appreciate him. :evilgrin:

[jamboi]

20. Hmmm... that's an idea. :-) n/t

[tsuki]

23. A used loopah? Half eaten falafel?

[Arkana]

67. Just feed your cat a shitload of gold foil wrappers

He'll shit out a perfect trophy in a couple of days.

[Hippo_Tron]

17. I don't care if he's against the war, I voted for Buchannan

He is the biggest homophobe of all of them.

[chalky]

19. Poor Rush!

Losing in the ratings war to AAR, and now he can't even make a decent showing in the race for a Drippy.
:(

[prairie populist]

44. Limpblah would take perverse pride in "winning" this poll

No one should vote for him no matter how much they detest him - he'll only get only get a hard on over it - the only way he can, no doubt.

[Chalco]

25. All of the above should be an option n/t

[blondeatlast]

26. Novak, because he outed an undercover CIA agent, and because he

is just scummy as hell.

They all have direct ties, if are not directly paid by, the blatantly political, tax-exempt, RW stink tanks--making racism, sexism, and all-inclusive hatred safe for scum-spitters everywhere.

[Democrat 4 Ever]

30. Sorry, I can't choose just one

I hate each and every one of them with a white hot passion that can consume tempered steel with one puff of my breath. These fascist, lying, douche bag, scum sucking, fecal spewing whores deserve a special place in hell for what they have done to America, democracy and the Constitution. And for the worst of all reasons - money. Pure and simple, playing to the lowest common denominator among themselves allows them to rake in the bucks while destroy a country. Appears that 51% of Americans are dildoheads, jack asses, Nazi worshiping "morans" that love this bunch and they feed off each other. May they eat each other.

[LiberalFighter]

31. It is so hard to choose...

they are all evil in their own way.

[AntiCoup2K4]

32. Had to go with Mikey Weiner

Getting fired by a defense contractor-owned network (GE's MSRNC) for being too hateful is quite an achievement, even by right wing standards.

[NewJeffCT]

33. I went for Limbaugh

He's the ring leader of the Republican move to the right & the Democrats/DLC following them.

[clutchcargo]

34. IT HAS TO BE O'REILLY

AS MUCH AS I DISLIKE ALL THE OTHERS VIEWS AT LEAST THEY HAVE SOME CHARACTER. O'REILLY IS A DAMN HYPOCRITE. HE CHASTISES OTHERS FOR POOR MORAL CHARACTER AND HE IS A PERVERT.

[MrModerate]

36. Gotta be Hannity -- Who singlehandedly

Reinvented the term "smarmy" for a new generation.

[IHeart1993]

42. He also reinvented the term "Brain dead"

He's like a talking Pee Wee Herman Doll- pull his string and he repeats pre-recorded sayings.

[Ken Burch]

87. As a child...

...wasn't Hannity's name "Eddie Haskell"?

[GOPBasher]

38. I picked O'reilly because he doesn't ADMIT he's right wing.

At least those others will admit as much.

[kodi]

40. hannity. & i resent that he gives us royal flaming assholes a bad name too

.

[Vote4Kerry]

41. kick..n/t

[MrSlayer]

43. Rush because he has done the most damage.

Limbaugh has to be the worst, he has the most listeners and quite frankly is the best at what he does.

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

45. I voted for Hannity because

he reminds me so much of the brain dead Irish American guys I grew up with on the Southwest Side of Chicago.

He really is a total scumbag who completely forgot what his ancestors went through to even make it to Amerikay!!!

[prairierose]

46. I just can't decide..they are ALL so vile & dangerous

as far as I am concerned it's a tossup between all of them. I just can't figure out which one is the worst.

The only way I could really vote would be if there was
All of the above to vote for

:nuke:

[bunny planet]

47. They all suck. I can't decide. The fact that there are so many of them

to choose from is uber depressing. They are all equally vile. The people who made them what they are, listen to them with slavish devotion, and swallow their regurgitated crap day after day, are the ones who really make my skin crawl. :smoke: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke: :grr: :grr: :mad: :mad: :mad: :beer: :beer:

[Spiffarino]

48. Laura Ingraham

She is nasty, arrogant, and wildly hypocritical. She is simultaneously a beautiful woman and an ugly human being. Her books are as loaded with lies and drivel as Ann Coulter's, and her rants are only slightly less insane.

[Ken Burch]

88. My vote of Ingraham

was based on the night she was mocking Halle Berry for
crying and claiming her best actress Oscar as a victory for
all black people in her acceptance speech.

Ingraham claimed the crying was all
an act and that Halle was being completely insincere, and was
also doing imitations of it.

Jesus! WTF was up with that, Laura?
How was there anything political in what Halle did that
night?
Did Bush's reelection
depend on discrediting Academy Award speeches?

It was a relatively small thing, but it bugged me
big time that Ingraham got so vicious about it.

[The Great Escape]

49. Can I Write In Rusty Humphries...

what a sniveling ass-wipe he is.

[Catchawave]

50. We can only vote for ONE......

darn.

[haifagirl1]

51. sean

I don't care what Sean Hannity talks about----He's too cute and I watch him every night!!!

[Cats Against Frist]

60. This is exactly the post they made this smiley for

:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

[LynnTheDem]

70. LOL!!!

Why is that not a surprise... :D

Nice tombstone.

[RebelOne]

74. Yes, I see one coming her way. n/t

[Lady Effingbroke]

52. the Savage Weiner!!!

deluded psychotic asshat.

[Vote4Kerry]

53. Can somebody please explain to me why Democrats keep going on Hannity's

show? They are setting themselves up for insult by Sean. He is not there to have an open and honest discussion (definitely not fair and balanced!) Can somebody please tell democrats to stop appearing on his show and start going onto more credible news broadcasts like Olbermann!

[DemonFighterLives]

56. The award goes to:

Hannity is just a doofus, Ingraham is much worse. Limbaugh is downed and out so the winner is "Savage". Voted most likely to get some dems killed. His Savage Nation show pushes the free speech thingy to the limit. The savages are aroused and dangerous.

[number6]

58. Like the Presidential Election, can I have more than one vote ?

Han-nity, Savage, Ingraham ...

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

59. With Hannity in the poll, it's NOT a poll..it's a "mandate"...LOL

:evilgrin:

[Cookie wookie]

61. Only one vote and so many

to vote for . . . . I've never watched Hannity because I've been boycotting most tv talk shows and news except for the Daily Show. I have been unfortunate enough to watch Bill Oliely and hear Rush a couple of times (mostly when he's being quoted on Air America). Rush seems to have a dedicated following of de-brained clones who worship his every word. Used to have to deal with his lies on another board where I used to post. So, I voted for him, but they are all equally damaging to our now-fragile democracy.

[nickshepDEM]

62. I was stuck between voting for....

Hannity and Limpballs but, decided to go with Hannity because he isnt as big of a goofball as Limbaugh. I mean Limbaugh and his audience are straight crazy with some of the shit they spit out of their mouths (i think they know it sometimes too.) Hannity on the other hand believes everything he preaches is 100% right, 100% of the time, FOR EVERYONE. If Coulter was on the Pole she would run a close third behind Hannity and Limpballs.

One more thing. Here in Baltimore we have no Air America so sometimes I tune into Hannity which is broadcasted on one of my local chanels late night. Last night he had a 12 year old girl on, who was obviously brainwashed by her GOOFBALL republican parents. She was complaing how her teacher tells the class, "Democrats are for the working class and Republicans are rich people who jsut want to get richer and not help poor people out." Hannity obvioulsy disagreed BIG TIME and countered the teachers statement with some right wing bullshit. This piece of shit has to stoop to brining 12 year old little girls on his show to get his message across. What a dick. Anyways, He told the girl to invite her teacher on the show so he could straighten her out. This piece of shit Hannity loves debating people he knows he can over power. Why doesnt he invite someone like James Carville on his show and have a debate with him?



on edit: this should be a sticky. leave it at the top untill everyone votes.

[Dinger]

63. Alcoholic, Ugly Pus-Gut Novak

Fucker should be in prison

[Feron]

64. Tough choice

However, Hannity is the most annoying out of all of them. I can tolerate the rest ,but Hannity's demeanor makes me want to hurl shoes at my TV.

The others can be so over the top that there are unintentional comedic moments.

[Bush was AWOL]

65. Hannity, hands down!

I'd be hard pressed to not spit in his face if I saw him in public.

[webjamn]

69. The irony is

that Hannity will probably be bragging about this poll on his show tomorrow because he thinks Democrats fear him. In reality, he is hated because so many gullible, non-thinking Americans buy his tripe and swallow all of it. The dumbshit has never had an original thought in his life. He would get torn to shreds in an honest debate with someone like Krugman, Maher, or Biden.

[Contrary1]

66. So many morons, so little time...

Hannity gives the word a whole new meaning.

[jamboi]

68. So Far Insanity is waaaaayyy out front. What an honor! n/t

[DemonFighterLives]

71. Get your votes in

I just love bashing the bashers.
Hannity's show is so stupid, how can he win?
:kick:
Some of the freeps I know thive on Boortz and Beck. I haven't heard beck before.

[Jo March]

73. Wow. I hate O'Reilly but I'll have to go with Hannity.

He's the lowest form of life ever.

[Jo March]

75. Can we send them a prize of some sort?

I'll glady kick in a few bucks to send them a pile of horse manure or something in the manure family.

;)

[RebelOne]

76. The poll results show that the majority of us hate Hannity.n/t

[SeattleRob]

77. I voted for Hannity - but

I would have voted for an "All of the Above" if it was included in this poll.

[AmerDem]

79. .

[nickshepDEM]

81. bump

[ThorsHammer]

80. Novak - from the "Once again, weren't we all hurt by this" thread

Dr. Eldritch:
" Bear with me now...

I, Like many of us, feel sick to my stomach when I hear about journalists being indicted for refusing to name their sources without having committed any ACTUAL crime... all while having to turn on the television and be subjected to the putrid, nauseating, pug-face of the ONE 'journalist' who ACTUALLY committed a crime... That's right folks...

Robert Novak.

Unless I have my facts screwed up - he's THE 'reporter' who printed the name of an undercover CIA agent in a national publication.

This act not only endangered the life of Valerie Plame (the agent 'outed' by Novak), but the lives of every person who worked with her in that operation.
But the damage was far worse than that...

From what I understand, Valerie Plame's operation was a CIA owned asset whose principle (and apparent) business was to broker deals of certain 'difficult to obtain' items, including items whose purpose could be related to the development of dire weaponry.

In other words - This was a CIA operation whose purpose and capacity was to buy and sell and thereby to effectively track ITEMS WHICH COULD BE USED TO PRODUCE WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION <i>all over the WORLD.</i>

That's right, with the help of the White House, Robert Novak single-handedly TRASHED an operation which was at the heart of and provided intelligence regarding WHO HAD WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION AND WHERE.

You all feel safer?
I don't."

Hannity is the most annoying (can't think of the exact word, something like cocky but for no reason), but Novak's work was even worse and more harmful

[Vote4Kerry]

83. kick n/t

[Miami Liberal]

84. Hannity

Man, I can't wait for there to be a sex scandal involving him and some hoochie.

[sundancekid]

85. Limpballs cuz of audience size to DISinform -- even to troops overseas

[lpricanprynces]

91. Surprising results

Hannity is winning the a-hole award in a landslide. I thought he and limpballs would be much closer in votes.

Don't you just love how they found the wimpiest nerd to host a show with Hannity? Sean probably has it in his contract that only people he can beat up on can work with him. Carville would chew him up and spit him out.

Anyway, I voted for limpballs. Anyone who can be a junkie and hypocrite so eloquently has my vote.

[Warren DeMontague]

92. I have a problem with the idea behind this thread.

...Are you sure it shouldn't be called, like, the "Shitty"?

:)

[Vote4Kerry]

93. kick n/t

[Stinky The Clown]

94. None of the above

The people on this list are all excellent candidates and are, collectively, the most vile of the vile scum.

But they're also all so obvious about it.

The worst, in my opinion, are the ones who work to appear fair. And although he is technically a "newsman" (yeahsureright) he is the most disgustingly insidious of the bunch. And that would be .......

Leslie Blitzer.

The others I don't even hate. Leslie ... I hate.
