If you were to compile a list of the top evil or destructive living people

[Bombtrack]

who would make it? Say the top 100 people. People who have done the most to set back humanity and progress and hurt people, and/or derail world relations and harmony, and/or people who do the most to promote negative and harmful attitudes and ideologies. But they have to be living.

Sorry if my suggestions are very USA-centric. IE, people who effect and have effected the world I'd want.

Try to be nonpartisan in your opinion. Even if I think we all know that people on the right have been the overwhelming "evildoers". So, lets see, I admit, I can only think of a couple people on the economic left. These are in no particular order.

Castro
Kim Jong Il

and I can think of a ton of righties.

Osama Bin Laden & Ayman al-Zawahri
Saddam Hussein
Henry Kissenger
Yasser Arafat
Rupert Murdoch
Richard Mellon Scaife
George HW Bush
George W Bush
Oliver North
David Duke
Ernst Zundel
Pat Robertson
Rev. Sun Young Moon
.....

[Dangerman]

1. Pat Robertson's on the list, hmmm...

So much for my future membership in The 700 Club (/sarcasm)

[wryter2000]

2. More

Milosevich
Newt Gingrich
Saddam Hussein is no pussy cat
someone behind the attrocities in Darfur -- maybe one from each side
Ariel Sharon (you already have Arafat) -- lots of blame to go around there

[Dangerman]

5. Umm...

Saddam Hussein is already on the list.

[smirkymonkey]

3. Where's Dick *&^%#@ Cheney and Ariel Sharon?

I would also add Bill Kristol, Robert Kagan, Gary Schmidt, Rumsfeld, Perle, Wolfowitz, Woolsey, Feith and the rest of PNAC.

Also, all religious fundamentalists.

[Comicstripper]

31. Bill Kristol????

He was so good in 'When Harry Met Sally.'

[smirkymonkey]

35. Ok, I'll give him that, but still....

he's PNAC all the way. :evilgrin:

[DemWitch]

4. Hannity, Limbaugh, Coulter, Malkin...

Savage, Ingraham, O'Reilly, Novak, all right wing media wonks for turning willing Americans into sheeple...

[Dangerman]

6. Does Barbara Bush (Ws mom) count?

[Bombtrack]

17. I think of Hannity as a Murdoch/Gingritch/Ollie North footsoldier

he might make the list but I wouldn't put him near the top. I don't know I give people higher grades for the more willful acts. Hannity is so stupid you know as big as he gets he's always going to be someone bigger's bitch.

[DerekG]

7. In the spirit of bipartisanship

Zbigniew Brzezinski
Madeline Albright
Dick Morris

[Ripley]

9. Madeline Albright is top 100 most evil and destructive?

Why?

Rush Limbaugh tops my list (after all of the global massacuring dictators)....he's pretty much solely responsible for poisoning the minds of millions of Americans.

[DerekG]

14. Yes, she is.

Clinton's vizier is complicit in the murder of nearly a million Iraqis, via sanctions. I would love to see the Madame Secretary brought before the Hague.

[Bombtrack]

19. There was a case to be made for sanctions against Saddam

I suspect, although for all I know you have a PHD in this stuff, that you haven't looked as closely as the other side of the issue as the side you're so stalwart for. And thought about what the negative consequences of lifting those sanctions would have been.

[GreenArrow]

20. The price was worth it

"I think this is a very hard choice, but the price -- we think the price is worth it."

[Bombtrack]

18. Yeah, Limbaugh should definetly be on it

[el_gato]

8. Kissinger is at the very top, no two ways about it

[Bombtrack]

22. No, he isn't. Kissenger at least had slightly noble goals for his evil

Winning the Cold War, etc.. Kissenger is much more of a Doctor Doom type villain while people like Saddam, Al Queada, Kim Jong Il, Melosevich, are just ultra-racist, insane, monsters (can't think of an apt villain, Apocalypse? Green Goblin?). Don't give me any crap about they were just wearing different shoes. If any of the afformentioned terrorists/dictators were given the kind of control of US foreign policy or military might that Kissenger had we'd be post apocalyptic right now.

[HamdenRice]

10. You really drank the cool-aid on Latin America

While he is no boy scout, I really don't see how Castro is anywhere near the top of the list. Is it because he has led Cuba to have the highest literacy rate in Latin America? Or the best health care?

Granted he is a dictator, but can you give me a reason to class him among murderous butchers?

[DerekG]

15. Agreed

Who knows what could have come out of the Cuban revolution had we not placed and maintained the embargo?

He is no saint, but I'd say Castro was the most benevolent dictator of the 20th century.

[rhite5]

16. I agree. Castro does not belong on such a list at all.

[UpsideDownFlag]

24. because he's a murderous butcher.

he was throwing people in jail without cause loooong before the US started doing it at Gitmo.

just imo.

[Bombtrack]

26. Uhh, I never said that he was near the top. I specifically said that my

suggestions were in NO PARTICULAR ORDER. I also ranked him with freaking David Duke and Pat Robertson. And, I'm sorry, Castro has done more to fuckup peoples lives and the overall harmony of the world. He could have done a hellof alot for democracy if he had chosen any of the 50 odd years he's denied Cubans freedom to step the fuck down as he promised.

You are the one to have drank the kool-aid. The litteracy rate doesn't mean shit when you're anual income makes a box of pencils a dream luxury.

[auburngrad82]

11. Rush Limbaugh for spouting misinformation

He's a big reason that so many people are for dumya. People that listen to Rush believe what they hear.

[grasswire]

12. if we have a hundred...

..let's add Ed Meese, Rehnquist and Scalia.

[grasswire]

13. and.....

....Weyrich and Dr. Dobson.

[KamaAina]

21. John Negroponte

The death-squad king of Central America now has a chance to move up the list by working his wizardry as U.S. Proconsul, er, I mean Ambassador to Iraq.

Edit: Not Central Amnerica, dammit!

[UpsideDownFlag]

23. stalin, hitler, mao, kim jung il all come to mind.

[Bombtrack]

27. holy shit Hitler and Stalin are alive?

just what we need in the world right now.

[UpsideDownFlag]

33. i'm a dumbass.

i missed the "living" part of his thread.


geez.:dunce:

[LynnTheDem]

25. short list

bush

Sharon

[Bombtrack]

28. what a maverick thought

a STUPID maverick thought.

I'm sorry, I'm sick of people like you who give weight to the false stereotype that those on the left can only see the wrong in what "America" and "Israel" do. That comment epitomizes that kind of ignorance that forward thinking liberals need to police for our collective credibility.

Both of those men are douchebags who NEED TO GO. But anyone who sees them as the MOST deserved of being in hell has a warped view of things.

[LynnTheDem]

30. Thank you.

I find your thought STUPID as well. :)

[Bombtrack]

32. read my edited it ellaboration

please. That is my problem with it. I'm not calling you stupid.

[LynnTheDem]

34. And

I am "sick of people like you" who think it's fine to trash people for having opinions that *GASP* differ from yours.

I am also "sick of people like you" who make such sweeping generalizations as "people like you", and who assume that those with opinions that *GASP* differ from yours are IGNORANT.

Sorry bud, but ignorant on the mideast I most certainly am not.

But launching personal attacks on those who hold opinions not in line with your own certainly is ignorant.

And if it's just us "ignorant lefties", there sure are an overwhelmingly world majority of us, in which case, why care what a little fringe group of righties think;

[Bombtrack]

37. I wasn't attacking you I was attacking an attitude that you echoed

I don't need to see links to know that Bush is the most hated person in the world right now. That is not the question I was asking. Bush has and Sharon haven't done things on a morally worse level that people who committ holocausts and ethnic cleansing. Or Osama Bin Laden who has murdered thousands of innocent people.

[Djinn]

41. Israel itself found SHaron responsible for the deaths of

men women and children slaughter like animals in a refugee camp - they also decided he was unfit for political office, yet you don't even add hime to the list - a list you can Castro to??? :crazy:

[Skidmore]

29. More

Jerry Falwell
_____ Regnery
Tom Delay

[arbusto_baboso]

36. What??? NO ONE mentioned Pol Pot or Idi Amin? WTF?

[Bombtrack]

38. it's LIVING people

[maveric]

39. Where's Richard Mellon Scaife?

He's destroyed lives. Some literally.
