EarlG: Can you please resurrect the Top 10 Conservative Idiots!! There is just so

[madinmaryland]

much material out there to work with!!

[teamster633]

1. That would be a true public service.

[AllTooEasy]

21. Yes, get off your ass Earl!!!

It was the best and more informative comedy on the net! IN THE UNIVERSE!!!

[NYC_SKP]

2. The Bandwidth Needed to Fully Describe the Idiocy Would Break the Internet.

And require a tripling of our servers!

"P

[madinmaryland]

14. But free republic has only one IBM 486 PC running their service powered by a hamster.

[Wounded Bear]

33. Actually, I heard they upgraded to a rat....

[Angleae]

35. That's insulting.

To think a rat would have anything to do with FR. There are even things a rat won't do.

[lob1]

3. To actually get all the craziness in, you might have to do the top 100.

[Danmel]

4. I always looked forward to that

So well written and always so witty!

[beac]

5. + a million brazillion! n/t

[Nevernose]

6. It was the best thing about DU

Now that I think about it, this is how drug dealers work. First they come around and say, "Hey, man, wanna try the Top Ten Conservative Idiots? Maybe a little Bob Boudelag, while you're at it..."

And then WHAM! It's almost twelve years later. You're paying some guy who dresses their avatar up like a Simpsons character -- on a monthly basis -- to tell you that your posts are "against the rules" or "tasteless and crass" or "borderline illegal." You're spending six hours writing and re-writing the perfect gotcha post which will enable you to finally win a six week flame war ("I'll show them why poodles are better than chihuahuas!&quot . You've stopped going to Olive Garden entirely: not because you dislike the Olive Garden, but you've read so many Olive Garden posts that merely driving past gives you a vague feeling of unease.

And I'm not going to rehab! I don't care what my wife and children say! I am going to my night job, though (but I'll be reading DU on my phone while I'm there).

[salinen]

7. yes please

thank you

[missingfink]

8. I'll second that motion

So many conservative idiots. Where to start?

[marble falls]

9. I am begging. That alone would make me happy. Maybe you could hire or otherwise interest ....

Keith Olbermann to contribute? Its a thought.

[Unca Jim]

10. I WOULD PAY A SUBSCRIPTION FEE

To cover the costs of hiring someone to do it full time.

If 2,000 other DU'ers kick in $20 each....

[Moosepoop]

20. It's not a job that can be hired out.

It would have to be EarlG, or it wouldn't be the same. Some things should not -- and in this case, cannot -- be outsourced.

EarlG or bust, IMO.

[elzenmahn]

32. I would actually pay a small subscription fee...

...for a weekly dose of the top 10 bottomfeeders.

[turbo_satan]

11. Indeed. Bring it back!

[MyOwnPeace]

12. Yep!

I'm in on this request too!

[Nye Bevan]

13. The only problem was, it got a little repetitive.

The same idiots tended to behave like idiots week after week.

[RC]

15. Top 10?

Your gonna need a bigger number than that!

[SunSeeker]

16. Yes PLEASE!

I've been very good. Pretty please?

[tclambert]

17. You'll have to add some new key symbols, though.

Something for when a Republican lawmaker says something blindingly stupid about rape, and for when a candidate says something contemptuous of voters, and for when a 1%er says something that shows complete lack of understanding of the lives of the 99%.

[Sadiedog]

18. Yes! I used to read it religiously!nt

[JI7]

19. There should be a special Election Edition

top 10 of the election season.

[Generic Other]

22. This is such a huge undertaking to expect poor Earl G to handle alone

Maybe we could get a volunteer to start a thread once a week and let everyone contribute their candidate and reasons.

[Neurotica]

23. Agreed! That's how I started reading DU way back when.

It helped me get through some really depressing political years.

[Flatpicker]

24. I'd love to see it come back.

[chwaliszewski]

25. Git'er done, Earl!

I would pay you to post it again. It was one of my few life's pleasures. That, and hot waxing the cat. C'mon, Earl.

[AzDar]

26. ...

[OhZone]

27. Yes, I loved that. But thank God we have Right Wing World on Stephanie Miller!

OHYEAH!

[hibbing]

28. Pretty Please?!

Hi,
I too always looked forward to that, always funny as heck. Of course like an earlier poster said, it may have to be expanded because there are just so many batshit crazy idiots so loud and so proud.

Peace

[cstanleytech]

29. I think we best just let it go folks and not bring it back.

After all there is a heck of alot of competition each week with people eager to make the top 10 list that the person who was tracking it wouldnt be able to get any sleep.

[Nonhlanhla]

30. How about a biggest conservative idiot of the week thread?

Then everyone can contribute and say which conservative was the biggest idiot that past week. It could be Sunday night entertainment.

[BobTheSubgenius]

31. Yes. Top Ten, please... n\t

[shenmue]

34. Me want Top Ten CI!!

Grrrrrr! Unga bunga!

How has it been gone this long? I'm sure people would be glad to help you out.

[blackspade]

36. Pretty Please?!

[Native]

37. with sugar on top!

[eppur_se_muova]

38. If a weekly Top Ten is too much work, go for monthly.

Of course I'm not volunteering to do any of the work, but it's free advice ... so ...

[SCantiGOP]

39. agree !

[needledriver]

40. If you Google Democratic Underground you get this:

"Providing political satire and commentary for Democrats, a weekly Top Ten Conservative Idiots list and a wide range of discussion groups."

Soooooo - where is the Top Ten Conservative Idiots list we were promised?????????

[edbermac]

41. And the Hate Mailbag too!

So many idiots, so little time.
