Right-Of-Center Bloggers Select The Worst People In America

Keith Olbermann has a book coming out later this year entitled, The Worst Person In the World: And 119 More Strong Contenders.

Sounds like a fun topic for a book, doesn't it? In fact, it sounded like so much fun that I decided to modify it a bit and turn it into a poll topic for the right side of the blogosphere. But, what definition should be used for the "worst American?" Well, since we're paying homage to Keith Olbermann here, it seemed fair to use his definition:

"It's a euphemism for somebody who's wrong and egregiously stupid and abusing their own position."

(snip....list of the RW bloggers who replied)



Without further ado, here are the worst Americans according to the right side of the blogosphere:

1. I'm not believing Fred Phelps is really hated by RWers

They LOVE his goals, they just don't like his most recent method.

2. The difference is, Olbermann justifies why he lists the worst people.

If you dared ask a Freeper "Why?" to any on the list above, they'd stare at you blankly and come up with something really substantive like, "They hate America!"

3. I love how they go after random actors and activists as "worst people"

They DO know that Republicans -- hard-right ones, in fact -- control all of our government -- that it's not logical to blame Hollywood for stuff, right?

4. Michael Moore should wear this like a bad of honor

It speaks very highly of the work he's done.

5. hmm .. surprising .. I was expecting to see

a bunch of the "liberal media" on the list .. I mean .. you know .. they twist and manipulate everything ... :P

[madmom]

6. I can't believe Bill and/or Hillary aren't #1

[ThoughtCriminal]

7. I'm a failure

Not even honorable mention even though I insist publicly that 2+2=4.
