Take that, Barry Manilow

[wryter2000]

1. Hooray for us

:applause:

I'm afraid I wasn't nearly annoying enough in 2006 and resolve to do better this year.

[radfringe]

2. and they have 306 users online !!!

[unpossibles]

3. The AP & Reuters? Oh, that's right... the liberal press

how could I forget when I am innundated with liberal messages from the news all the time.... :eyes:

[ChairmanAgnostic]

36. my thoughts exactly.

they are misguided and blind.

[Trajan]

37. Do you think it might be possible ....

To trade in 'our' "Liberal Press" for a couple of NEW ones ? ...

I find the AP and Reuters arent quite 'Liberal' enough for my tastes ....

Let the RW have those ..... Get us some REAL Liberal media organizations ...

[nine30]

94. The 'Drive By Media' is more than just AP & Reuters..

..wonder why only the AP and Reuters made their list.

[The Count]

4. Ahead of Bill Clinton?????THIS IS HUGH!!!!!!

[hyphenate]

8. Actually

they're in alphabetical order, she said wryly.

[mikelewis]

80. I thought the Alphabet was ABC "D" E not A "D" BCDE

[dalaigh lllama]

88. Oddly enough, they're all in alphabetical order except for

Democratic Underground. But hey, for a freeper they "done did" good with their ABC's.

[NewJeffCT]

5. Wow, and Hillary was only an honorable mention?

Not to mention Howard Dean, John Conyers, Ted Kennedy & Al Franken...

Some good company.

[krispos42]

6. K&R #5 rec.... kick ass!n/t

[Norquist Nemesis]

7. Chris Matthews is a Liberal?

He's certainly often annoying to the point of a shoe flying toward the TV...but 'Liberal'? They must have only watched on Wednesdays and the first hour on Fridays or something. :shrug:

[lisa58]

14. Exactly...

...usually he's more liberal at the beginning of the week and then crashes and burns by Friday.

[Ian_rd]

73. LOL - He's so liberal that he practically made out with Republican John Boehner on TV

This is a real quote, and he was practically rubbing himself with ecstasy:

"We'll be right back with House Majority Leader John Boehner. You can see this man's greatness."

[Buzz Clik]

78. Tweety had a raging Boehner that particular evening.

[Lasher]

104. How about when Tweety went on and on about how good Junior looked in his "costume"?

I thought I would vomit. :puke:

[blm]

9. That's it, then. Gore and Kerry on the 2008 ticket - with Rangel, Pelosi, Murtha leading

the House.

[Dinger]

10. Yay!!!!!

Waaaaay cool!:)

[madrchsod]

11. we have to try harder this year

[EFerrari]

20. Yeah. We were so close.

lol

Oh, and Impeach Junior.

[TahitiNut]

12. Since when is Ray Nagin a liberal? Bill Maher? Chris Matthews?

The fascist right-wing is truly delusional.

[blm]

74. heheh...they reached far on their honorable mentions list.

.

[ktlyon]

107. Huffington must be very pleased

as she was on the right some years ago
an early convert

[dogday]

13. Way to go DU!

[AndyA]

15. Keep drinking that Kool-Aid, conservatives.

I hear you can snort it just like Coke and it will keep your mind from thinking freely, you will continue to believe everything you are told, and you will convince yourself that hypocrisy and double standards are good things.

Oh, and that in spite of everything you do, you're still going to Heaven.

:rofl:

[iwillalwayswonderwhy]

16. Keith Olbermann #1 HOORAY!

I guess that they hate it that he's getting through.

[4dsc]

55. I second that HOORAY!!

Its a great website to recognize all the fine work we are doing..

[nolabels]

70. He-he, is he really that good?

I never have listened to him but maybe since he is rated #1 by these folks......... :-)

[Erika]

92. KO has guts, intelligence, and wit

All liberal qualities!

[windbreeze]

17. I can handle that...yes indeedy...n/t

[in_cog_ni_to]

18. WOW! What a list! I-AM-SO-HONORED!

:loveya:

[Atman]

19. Hey! I won #9 of Certifiable Underground's Top Ten!

I'm deeply honored to be one of the most moonbattiest posters on one of the moonbattiest sites on the internets. When the wing-nuts single you out, you know you're doing something right.

.

[EFerrari]

Congratulations, Atman, you made them count to ten!

Lol

[IronLionZion]

47. Good for you!

I don't know how you managed to stay on that lunatic site so long without going insane.

http://www.conservativeunderground.com/forum/showthread.php?t=90280

[HughBeaumont]

54. Congratulations!

To ALL who made CUmstain's list!

That being said, how DARE that shitbag not include me as even honorable.

[BlueStorm]

99. Well they should....

considering that the CUnts have a program that scans this site somehow and ranks us:





I don't know who came up with the program. But they call it the Dump Diver or some shit like that.

Blue

[Cobalt-60]

101. I'll have to try harder

Let's deport the entire Bush clan tonight.
They get a used suit, $10.00 in ones, and a cardboard suitcase.
We'll keep the rest of their ill gotten gains to pay off their war debts!

[ktlyon]

109. way to go Mary

if I had known someone was keeping score I would of....a
WE ROCK

[HughBeaumont]

112. I need to up my "traitorous post" count, apparently.

That is . . . OMFG, I WISH I had that much time on MY hands, to write a Java app to track how many "traitorous posts" someone on a site I hate has. That's . . . BWAAAAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!

[BlueStorm]

120. I need to up mine as well...

I just don't have much to say...

But yeah, the dude whoever made this has to be such a loser with alot of time on his hands to make up a program. Hell all of these people on that site do. Then they complain that we are the "welfare" people. WTF?

Blue

[LeftyMom]

121. I'm digging the fact that some of those "treasonous bastards" aren't in the states.

For that matter, I see more than one lounge lizard on there- people who barely post anything political at all.

[dogday]

65. Way to go

[seabeyond]

21. excellent, BUT can you take it from we WINNED to we WON

not a big corrected of others on this board, promise. just this one correction would be great, wink

is fun to see us on the list

[Rose Siding]

24. That was meant to be annoying

I'm trying to keep my skill honed

[seabeyond]

32. lol lol cool. livin in panhandle of texas, i hear stuff like this often

does a bit of grating. but then i also like to play with language myself, so i can appreciate that too.

[sarge43]

22. Merely annoying? Shoot!

We should be outrageous, infuriating, crazy making.

Come on folks, we're not trying hard enough.

[ThatsMyBarack]

23. That whole "We WINNED something!"....

....is just tooooo funny! :rofl:

I also adore that applause picture--I never get tired of seeing it! :applause:

[ewagner]

25. Mike Malloy made #12!

That's pretty good.....

He's in great company so he must be doing something right!!!

[AspenRose]

26. Wow. What an honor to be in the company of

Howard Dean, Joe Wilson, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert.

Cool! :D We must be doing something right.

[sinkingfeeling]

27. We're in with some excellent other honorable mentions!!

[Ian_rd]

28. "The Associated Press?" "Reuters?" LOL!

How about, "Anyone who tells us what's going on in the world"

[unpossibles]

46. well yeah - an informed populace gets in the way of their objectives

I mean, look how they attack higher education, science, and the press as being "liberal brainwashing centers" - can't have people actually trying to learn anything or better themselves can they?

If you try to be informed they will say you are being 'elitist'. They like 'em dumb and easy to control - just look at their figurehead...

http://www.nirvani.net.nyud.net:8090/misc/$87,000,000,000/dubya.jpg

[Ian_rd]

71. It's so ridiculous but true

The Right actually has contempt for people who think about things before acting. For them it's a sign of weakness. They have spasms of joy over their Decider who takes pride in the fact that he relies on his gut (read: voices from God?), not facts, to direct the policy of the most powerful nation on earth.

[ContraBass Black]

77. Remember, reality has a well-known liberal bias.

[The Witch]

29. Andrew Sullivan is on their list.

:cue Scooby-Doo '!?!?':

:wtf:

[ktlyon]

108. he has recently been bushnegative

This is how quick the right can turn on someone

[Buzz Clik]

30. KO numero uno. A defeat for O'Reilly.

[WritersBlock]

31. Our mission is still far from accomplished.

Next year we must be higher on that list!

:toast:

[babylonsister]

33. Ugh. That site is so full of venom and hateful. I'm glad they

recognize the distinction between 'them' and 'us'.

[Ms. Clio]

34. Jesse MacBeth? That dude was just a poser or a mole, not a "liberal"

DUers figured that out immediately when his ridiculous story first appeared.

Significantly, IMO, the hoax occurred just when the tale of the massacre of the civilians at Haditha had hit the news, and also attempted to smear Veterans Against the War. The only people who even know his name now are wingnuts like Malkin.

[Gregorian]

35. If you have a problem with us, you have a problem with gravity.

It's an honor to be annoying to them. And what an incredible group of the world's most intelligent people to be associated with.


Wow, which America are these rabid goons talking about? I'm baffled. What on earth do they want? Socially retarded aliens? And why is anyone paying attention to them? When I see something awful on the sidewalk, I just step around it. I do not spend time with it.

[tigereye]

38. John Murtha?

that's a good one. Aware of war issues, yes. Liberal, no.

[tavalon]

39. Well, we are in fine company there!

I'm impressed with us!

[annabanana]

40. I would like to extend a formal Welcome. . .

To any and all new eyes directed here from the erstwhile RWN deadenders...

Please feel free to look around. Test the springs. Kick the doors. You may find some old friends here. You may find out where the hell America has got to since you last paid attention.

:hi:

[Ian David]

41. Reuters, Associated Press, and Chris Matthews are NOT Liberals. n/t

[struggle4progress]

53. "A liberal," to a wingnut, is anybody who's not a wingnut. Thirty-five years ago,

they squealed with rage that Nixon was a liberal, whenever they thought he wasn't sufficiently rightwing ...

[5thGenDemocrat]

75. Thirty-five years ago?

Heck, my old buddy Andy the Right Wing Republican still swears Nixon was a liberal. Which he was when compared to Andy. So was, say, Pinochet.
John
I haven't been as irritating to right-wingers in general as I could have been in 2006. However, I have managed to keep Andy's panties in a twist. And, now that I'm married to Annie, we have twice the irritating liberal goodness.

[justice1]

42. I thought we won? Now I'm going to flounce off like Faith Hill.

[Catchawave]

43. Congratulations Team DU !

We're in good company :hi:

As Colbert said: "Reality has a liberal bias" :toast:

[kestrel91316]

44. I love to think that a few of my pithy, snarky remarks have greatly annoyed

large numbers of RW nuts.

I do believe I'll keep it up.

[Kerrytravelers]

45. Ah. They must secretly love us. They didn't call us Democrat Underground.

Adding the "ic" must have added just that last bit of hate their hearts had room for.

[mogster]

48. God, what a bunch of nut jobs on that site

:shock:
Anybody on that list must surely be worth supporting, by default.

It's like the war and all the subsequent stupidity never happened to some people, isn't it?
I truly wonder what it's like to walk around with the head in a bucket like those people. Nice to see Ted Rall so far up, lol.
And congrats to the DU :toast:

[AnneD]

49. So what did we win?????

a trip to the gulag, pre opened mail, denile of S.S. benefits, pens filled with red ink, or maybe military funerals for our kids.....oh, oh, I know...another tax cut :sarcasm:

Be still my beating heart. Actually, just being on the list is reward enough for me. Thanks folks. (sometimes the sarcasm button is not enough!)

[Cobalt-60]

85. Can request a particular Gulag?

I'd like something with a view of the Rocky Mountains, please.

[AnneD]

118. Be careful...

what you wish for. They will place the gulags in the desert near the Rockies. You'll have a view all right.

[Cobalt-60]

119. Well I'd never burn a wish on Dubya's holiday camp

Perhaps we need to pre position some escape tunnels.

[Greyskye]

50. "RWN: We don't drink the Kool-Aid, we make it. "

I swear - they have this phrase on their masthead: "RWN: We don't drink the Kool-Aid, we make it." Check it out, top right of their page.

I couldn't have said it better myself. :crazy:

[Greyskye]

51. double post

[pitohui]

56. ray nagin is not a liberal

are they out of their minds, he is a former cable exec who ran on a pro business ticket

if ya don't know what you're talking about, stop talking is my advice to rightwing news, but i guess if you're called rightwing news not knowing what you're talking about comes w. the territory

[LSK]

67. psst: its Right Wing News

Of course they are out of their minds.

:D

[ck4829]

57. Thank you RW'ers for this honor

I want to thank God, my family, my agent, wow! I can't believe it, I won!

[Lugnut]

58. How cool for us!

:toast:

:kick:

[bdamomma]

59. hey they are talking about us can't keep us down that is for sure

[applegrove]

60. Great news.

[pacalo]

61. We're in good company -- just look at that stellar list of greatness!

[mandyky]

62. Um, why Barry Manilow?

"Take that, Barry Manilow"????

I don't know why Chris Matthews is in there, but most of the rest I am proud to be associated with...

[Rose Siding]

68. Manilow beat Colbert for an Emmy

Then went on The Report and Stephen razzed him about it. Manilow was so classy and gracious. -That was my obscure reference.

[NoSheep]

63. Chris Matthews???? Bwaaahahahahahhahhaa. Morans.

:D

[vireo]

64. Well, at least they figured out that Colbert is a liberal

Got to give them credit for that at least. :D

[eppur_se_muova]

66. "The slander of some is as great a commendation as the praise of others." nt

[Orangepeel]

69. How come right wingers can't be funny?

I guess this is trying to be a right wing "Top Ten Conservative Idiots" list, but it's just like Mallard Fillmore trying to be Doonesbury. Dull, dull, dull.

[Rex]

72. Hahaha!

So all these people AND DU AND the AP? Wow. I had no idea DU was in such fine company! That makes this place like 10x better now!

[ContraBass Black]

76. Psh. We can do better than that.

[Buzz Clik]

79. The weed who put this together is an odd, odd duck.

This bit about Olbermann was truly amazing:

Defining Quote: (Keith) Olbermann has a Teflon ego. No matter how stupid he looks or how obviously wrong he is or how completely devoid of wit his copy is, he is perpetually pleased as punch with himself and convinced that the rest of the world is as moist over his brilliance as he is. It's almost like schizophrenia.

Olbermann: I'm the wittiest, cleverest pundit in all the galaxy! All sentient beings worship me and wish to carry my magical seed!

Orderly: You're in an observation cell clutching a beanie baby and standing in your own poo.

Olbermann: What? An autograph? Why of COURSE!" -- Steve H.

What a clown -- it's not a quote at all. Steve H. writes hogonice.com, a rightwing satirical blog. Steve H. has deleted the page from his blog, and the "quote" is available only from other rightwing locations (like the RightWing News, where this list originated). Gotta love these guys who immortalize themselves by quoting their own shit as if it's real.

RightWingers is so stupid.

[chefgirl]

103. Well, I can't speak for anyone else

Don't know about anyone else here, but I get pretty moist at KO's brilliance. }(

-chef-

[lovuian]

81. Whoah we made the first mention

:woohoo:

[Mabus]

82. Back in 2004 we were #12

We're slipping in the rankings! Get to work people! Be more annoying. :hide:

than you have arrived.
Congratualation

96. LOL! Tweety gets it from both sides. nt

[depakid]

97. Classic!

Also, props to The Smirking Chimp for coming in at #19.

[farmbo]

98. And to think...RWNews placed first in our "Biggest Waste of Bandwidth"awards

Coincidence?

:shrug:

[BlueStorm]

100. Congrats DU!!!

We truly know how to work up the right!!

Blue

[donheld]

102. We must work harder!!!!!1!!!!!1!!!!1We've been humiliated.

Next year let's try to get in the top 20!

>>>But, there's one blog out there that is so consistently moronic that it's practically a sign of the apocalypse that there are actually lots of people reading it. That blog is THE SMIRKING CHIMP. These guys are so ridiculous that they actually have their own section on Right Wing News that I use every so often to catalogue the latest idiocy their writers have come up with. Just to give you a few examples, check out these quotations:<<< emphasis mine.

With all due respect, how dare we let "the Smirking Chimp" beat us again. :evilgrin:

[donheld]

105. Damn we fell, look at 2004

12) The Democratic Underground
I always prefer to recognize individual liberals instead of groups or web pages because you gotta figure they'll appreciate it more. Heck, Ted Rall said being selected as the most annoying liberal last year was "nearly as good as a Pulitzer Prize".

So, I was tempted to leave the Democratic Underground off this year...but, how could I? These guys are so insane that not only do they have their own category on RWN, but this is the second year in a row that I've done the 10 Worst Quotes From The Democratic Underground For 2004. Plus, they hit the big time: John Kerry's blog even had a permanent link to them until somebody got spooked and yanked all of his links to outside blogs.

But the great thing about the DU is that they're like the id of liberalism. For example, take a look at the paranoia...

skjpm: "I am frightened by what I am learning about America during this election. I think that a majority have an irrational fear of liberals, and that if Bush wins, and decides to send liberals to camps for their "protection," most would support the move and say "About time too." There would be some dissent, but the majority of Americans see liberals as a threat, and nothing would be done. The press would hold debates, but people wouldn't care. I think that all Bush has to do is say the word, and we'll be rounded up. Who would stop him?"

The rage...

matcom: "F*CK YOU If You Vote For * - I Hope You Get ALL That You Want hey freepers! (and lurkers and idiots of ALL shapes and sizes)

YOU GET 100% OF WHAT YOU DESERVE!!!

When they come for YOU - F*CK OFF
When they come for YOUR children - F*CK OFF
When YOU are unemployed - F*CK OFF
When the NEXT attack hits - F*CK OFF

I HAVE NO SYMPATHY FOR YOU AND MY FIRST QUESTION WILL BE "WHO DID YOU VOTE FOR?"

And of course, the defining condescension...

Defining Quote From Joanne98: "Since tomorrow is the anniversary of the "excuse" the cowboy uses to attack anybody he wants to. I'm bracing myself for the ongoing images of people in small red state towns exploiting the victims of 9/11.

CNN is already showing people in small town Texas CRYING over New York City's loses. Well, you know what. You never liked New Yorkers. You hated New Yorkers remember. If you really cared about the victims of 9/11 you would vote for John Kerry because that's the only thing they want you to do. But NO! Instead you brought the Bush b@stard's convention to ground Zero and thought NYC would be glad to see you.

Instead of getting flowers and candy you got protesters, a half a million of them that said. GO HOME. Do you remember the Evita song...DON'T CRY FOR ME DIRTSVILLE TEXAS..........

Let's get this straight, Dirtsville, IT DIDN'T HAPPEN TO YOU and it never will because no self respecting terra-rist would ever attack something so unimportant. It would be like the USA attacking Goatsgrave Yemen. It's never going to happen.

The bottom line is, you don't care about NYC or the pain, all you care about is getting Boosh re-elected and fighting a Holy p*ssing contest with the darkie Muslims. All in the name of Jesus which you're sure is coming back the day after tomorrow.

Nobody needs this sh*t, especially the people of NYC who still watch airplanes when they fly overhead. The people in big cities are in more danger than ever thanks to the cowboy's invasion of Iraq. But that's something the good people of Dirtsville don't have to worry about.

So take your flags, your prayers, your rodeos and your country music and stick it. You're waging war because you want too, because you like it and you're not fooling anybody. You're only happy when you have an enemy, if it wasn't 9/11 it would be something else. Like "libruls". At least have the decency to admit that."

Put on your public grieving shows tomorrow because you already have them planned but spare us the DRAMA next year. It didn't happen to you. Get over it.

I know this is harsh and I know not all people in small rural towns are Republicans but they ARE voting for Bush, who is only making big cities more dangerous. This is how I feel about it. Flame away."

[Selatius]

106. Bill Maher is a Libertarian, not a typical liberal.

I find it funny they would attack a fellow rightwinger who is guilty of simply having a very low tolerance for bullshit.

[Kolesar]

114. I don't even think Maher is funny.He just has a compelling, droll nature that makes him entertaining

the perfect thing for when you want to feel pissed off for the rest of the evening. The sh-t that he used to wing at President Clinton was petty b/s, IMHO.

[Vinca]

110. Let's go for the gold. Annoy, annoy, annoy! nt

111. Yay! They hate us!

They really hate us!

I've now bookmarked Right Wing News, in the "woo-woos" section, between "The Dangers of Dihydrogen Monoxide" and "The Role of Colon Cleansing in a Natural Treatment Program for the ADD/ADHD Child."

The quote for Jimmy Carter, is that the best they can do? Some nutjob making stupid accusations?

I'd like to thank....
