From the 50 most loathsome people in America
9. You

Charges: You believe in freedom of speech, until someone says something that offends you. You suddenly give a damn about border integrity, because the automated voice system at your pharmacy asked you to press 9 for Spanish. You cling to every scrap of bullshit you can find to support your ludicrous belief system, and reject all empirical evidence to the contrary. You know the difference between patriotism and nationalism -- it's nationalism when foreigners do it. You hate anyone who seems smarter than you. You care more about zygotes than actual people. You love to blame people for their misfortunes, even if it means screwing yourself over. You still think Republicans favor limited government. Your knowledge of politics and government are dwarfed by your concern for Britney Spears' children. You think buying Chinese goods stimulates our economy. You think you're going to get universal health care. You tolerate the phrase "enhanced interrogation techniques." You think the government is actually trying to improve education. You think watching CNN makes you smarter. You think two parties is enough. You can't spell. You think $9 trillion in debt is manageable. You believe in an afterlife for the sole reason that you don't want to die. You think lowering taxes raises revenue. You think the economy's doing well. You're an idiot.

Exhibit A: You couldn't get enough Anna Nicole Smith coverage.

Sentence: A gradual decline into abject poverty as you continue to vote against your own self-interest. Death by an easily treated disorder that your health insurance doesn't cover. You deserve it, chump.

1. Happy Christmas

[EFerrari]

2. Lou Dobbs: Sentence: Stuffed with Green Cards; turned into amnesty pinata.

:)

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

3. The only thing missing is a gratuitous mention of American Idol/Dancing with the Stars.

Otherwise, spot on analysis of the American psyche except, of course, my own. B-) MKJ

[EFerrari]

4. Right -- it should be "They're number 9". lol

[Echo In Light]

5. LOL "You hate anyone who seems smarter than you" = average American

Excellent post...

[distantearlywarning]

12. There is a fair percentage of DUers who fall into that category also

Sad, but true.

[focusfan]

24. I guess we hate everyone then

We are like sheep to the slaughter

[connecticut yankee]

6. Great article

but they forgot Rush Limbaugh.

[Javaman]

7. What exactly is the latest with britney anyway?

LOL :rofl: or :cry:

[L. Coyote]

8. Exhibit B. You do not understand the charges against you.

[lame54]

10. but I was Times person of the year 2006

[L. Coyote]

14. Oh, that's You v2.0, the updated version. It has memory, floating points, much more added...

[treestar]

9. You really think that since you have nothing to hide, the government

can come into your house and turn it upside down searching it any time, it'd be fine with you.

11. Duane "Dog the Bounty Hunter" Chapman

Charges: Shocked a handful of innocents and turned into self-recriminating chum for Sean Hannity with the revelation that a redneck bounty hunter is-gasp!-a racist. Looks like an extra from Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome. Married to a silicon-based life form. When a guy's own son intentionally destroys his career, you know he's got to be a singular fuckhead. Played at extraordinary rendition this year; got arrested for trying to physically extradite a Mexican national.

Exhibit A: "I'm not gonna take a chance ever in life of losing everything I've worked for for 30 years because some fucking nigger heard us say nigger and turned us in to the Enquirer magazine." Yeah, 'cause not saying "nigger" is just out of the question.

Sentence: Neutered, dewormed, given to Michael Vick's buddies for sparring practice.

13. Pelosi & Reid are #5

5. Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid

Charges: Graduates of the Neville Chamberlain school of appeasement, the Democratic leadership continues to ignore the constitution-and the American people-by keeping impeachment "off the table" and refusing to defund the war. True pushovers, they're too stupid, cowardly, weak and outmatched politically to accomplish anything substantive, their "strategy" essentially boiling down to whining a lot while handing Bush whatever the hell he wants. There is just no way that appearing this weak and ineffectual could be any better for them politically than impeachment. Everything that the White House gets away with, it gets away with because congress allows it.

Exhibit A: Failure to woo the two thirds majority needed to override a presidential veto is moot: They could defund the war with a 41-senator budgetary filibuster. But that would take guts and conviction.

Sentence: 2 cups anthrax bisque.

[IronLionZion]

15. Not me of course. It's all those OTHER people! WOOT!

[tom_paine]

17. Of course. You and I are blameless.

:rofl: :rofl:

[Kurovski]

18. This one fits pretty well...

"You believe in freedom of speech, until someone says something that offends you."

The rest is pretty much a Right-Wing thing.

[IronLionZion]

19. You think you're going to get universal health care too.

But yeah, it mostly applies to Republicans and others who work against their own interests.

[hisownpetard]

22. Hey, I take exception to your statement! Where do you come off saying a thing like that?

:spank: :hi:

[Kurovski]

23. No sex threads!

Please stop beating me! :hi:

[hisownpetard]

25. That's not what you said last time!

Do the words, "More, please" ring a bell?

[Uncle Joe]

16. I would find a way to fit David Addington and John Yoo in there

as well. I believe they're far more loathsome, not to mention dangerous than some of the celebrity air heads, the media focus on.

[Akoto]

20. LOL. Mitt Romney: "America's first clip-art presidential candidate."

:rofl:

[ThomCat]

21. That entire list is incredible.

:rofl:
I laughed repeatedly.

Serious side note: I notice that the author avoided taking obvious sexist cheap-shots in some of those entries. I give kudos for that. Some women are still criticized for their appearance, but at least there is an obvious attempt made to judge everyone based on their actions.

[annabanana]

26. Alas. . the link has crashed.... Just too damn funny for their own good. . .n/t

[unapatriciated]

27. No - it has not

[annabanana]
