Has there ever been a more loathsome family than the Cheneys?

[NRaleighLiberal]

And the hubris to demonstrate their hatred and dysfunction so aggressively. Boggles the mind (and makes me sick).

This rant courtesy of the NBC news spot on the Liz Cheney slime ad, and how Ken Starr (!!!!!!) among others came out against it.

Geesh...

[Chipper Chat]

1. Maybe the Phelps family edges them out by one hate-point.

"GOD hates CHENEYS"

[Hepburn]

3. GMTA...

...:hi:

[Chipper Chat]

14. Hey, I just thought of something.

Suppose Liz Cheney were killed in an unfortunate accident. Would the Westboro Church picket her funeral like they did Matthew Shepard's? What would Darth do?

[slampoet]

20. The Phelps family just doesn't have as much Power as the Cheney Klan.

[Hepburn]

2. Fred Phelps family?

Real contest between those two.

[NRaleighLiberal]

4. Yessiree. A race to the very bottom.

[Hepburn]

5. Please don't insult bottom...

...scum! :evilgrin:

[libodem]

6. In a word...

NO. Not only NO, but HELL NO!!!

[Lyric]

7. The Waltons and the Phelps come to mind...

[philly_bob]

8. The Kristols? (nt)

9. The Bush family

Not just the Bush CRIME Family, of which Darth Cheney himself is a member, but with the Cheney's. only Darth himself has actually committed crimes (that we know of). Lynn and the daughters are evil and vile in their own right, but so far it's just words and rhetoric from them.

Not in the same league with the Bush Klan, which have committed actual crimes (many of them amounting to treason) at least as far back as World War I, when Samuel Bush made a shitload of money from the Remington Arms company. Oddly enough, a lot of those Remington rifles ended up in Russia, just in time for the little party they had over there in 1917.

So arguably, the Bush family, within one century, helped create the Soviet Union, Nazi Germany, and Al Qaeda.

Now that's a Hell of a record to beat.

[NRaleighLiberal]

10. Can't argue with that. Can we put the Cheneys in second place?

[The_Commonist]

11. The Bush family

Because there have been so many of them...

[Warpy]

15. And they reliably breed corruption, generation after generation

Face it, this country has an oversupply of would be aristocrats and they're all cut from the same evil, corrupt pattern.

[glinda]

27. you mean inter-breed don't you? lol

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

12. The Borgias, maybe.

[UTUSN]

13. K&R #3 is my answer to the question!1 n/t

[subterranean]

16. Possibly the Manson Family.

Although they didn't kill as many people.

[SeattleGirl]

25. Damn, I was going to say that! Plus they

are in prison which is more than I can say about the Cheney's.

[gratuitous]

17. That kind of statement

Just makes the Bush family try harder. Thanks.

[Spazito]

18. Well, I read that Caligula's family was pretty bad but....

that might be hearsay. Other than them, no.

[The Genealogist]

19. They turn my stomach

Hubris is just the right term. He is a nasty, hubris-ridden, sub-human, power hungry, misanthropic monster of a man Dick-Head just LOOKS evil, and he is probably several times more evil behind closed doors than in situations the public knows about. And, the members of his family are nearly if not just as evil as he is.

22. Bush Crime Family -- generations of genteel power-brokering criminality.

:shrug:

[valerief]

23. The Bushes are quite despicable. nt

[Wizard777]

24. Bush? Manson? Hitler? They're up there. Definitely top 5.

28. Only the Bush and Sawney Beane families

[Prophet 451]

29. There's a couple

but not many. The Borgias and Medicis perhaps. Maybe the Phelps clan if we're feeling generous (as disgusting as the Phelps clan are, they haven't directly got anyone killed AFAIK).
