whodey319 Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 ok, so if we combine the lists these people would theoretically be the worst because they make both lists. And a short reason why they are hated. 1. [b]Benedict Arnold[/b]- Amercian Revolution general that became a traitor for Britain. Ran away and hid in canada 2. [b]Timothy McVeigh[/b]- Oklahoma City bomber. home grown terrorist 3. [b]John Wilkes Booth[/b]- assassinated Lincoln 4. [b]Richard Nixon[/b]- impeached president and general asshole 5. [b]The Rosenbergs[/b]- cold war spies that gave atomic bomb info to soviets. husband and wife both electricuted under much scrutiny until late 90's when soviet letters were released to public implicating the couple 6. [b]Lee Harvey Oswald[/b]- assassinated JFK 7. [b]Aaron Burr[/b]- Jeffersons VP, killed alexander hamilton in a duel, accused of treason but found innocent 8. [b]Aldrich Ames[/b]-CIA agent that gave russian the names and codenames of every CIA agent in russia. In short, americans do not like traitors and treasonists and people that kill presidents.

Guest BlackJesus Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 [b]Other interesting observations from the two lists: RW - had Franklin Delano Roosevelt - because they believe he provided too many social programs (interesting that the man who guided us through WWII, is seen by RW's who claim to be patriotic, as one of the 20 worst RW - hadThe Rosenbergs & Julius Rosenberg #1 of everyone, for several reasons I believe.... yes the traitor factor, but they also helped give secrets to the Soviets (ie a govt that claimed to be communists) , it is also interesting that the LW - have them as #20, showing how the LW most likely believe that the world is safer with the US not being the only one with Nukes... and the fact that LW- usually are not gun ho for what we call capitalism LW - Have Josephy Mccarthy - #1 because he an authoritarian leaning guy who wanted to witch hunt all expected communists.... LW usually like the system of communism better, thus he is seen as the most evil.... LW also usually support dissent more and not going along with the status Quo..... thus they would hate him LW - put Nathan Bedford Forrest - in the top 5 because of his connection to the KKK. The RW don't include him , but then they include Robert Byrd D Senator most likely because he was in the KKK.... I guess a member is worst than one of the founders ? LW - also have John Wilkes Booth higher than the RW (#6 compared to #8) I believe this is because LW like Lincoln more because of his emancipaton of blacks. Even though Lincoln was a Republican, in todays climate he would be seen as a Democrat just as JFK would be seen as a republican etc. RW -also fail to mention any of the notorious Christian hypocrites, but they do give Noam Chomsky a very high rating which I take as a badge of honor since I find him to be the most brillian man currently alive[/b] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whodey319 Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 look at either list and they all are pretty much jackasses to some or most people and heroes to others. (not sure how any of the 8 i put on their can be a hero to someone but there is a nutjob out there somewhere.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm all for smaller Federal Government, myself. That's his downfall. He wanted too much power and took it. Even if he didn't use all the power for too many abuses himself, it help set up the country as we know it today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
