The 50 most loathsome people in America
 
I don't think for a minute everyone here will agree with this or even enjoy reading it, but I did and, er, here it is:

http://www.buffalobeast.com/66/50mostLoathsome2004.htm

My only complaint is that Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity aren't in there somewhere.

(I'm not sure who some of them are) but I pretty much agree with that list.
Surprised that the Twat n' Texan isn't number one though.

How's about a Brit Expat (USA section - don't go moving just because it might get heated) version ?

Obviously Bush is first name for the shitlist.
Who else is on ?

Anyone....anyone.... ?

Interesting list, haven't heard of everyone on it, and slightly surprised bush wasn't higher up the list....
Anyone else that should be on the list?

Why do I have to repeated something already started ?
The thread is here so might as well continue:

=>
Let's have your nominations for the Brit Expat forum version of the 50 most loathsome people in America. Plus the reason why you think they make the list.

I'll compile them and add it to the Webblog.

Okay I'll bite..apart from Smirky and gang, Rupert Murdoch should be there (he's a US citizen now)..and one of the powers behind the throne. Shouldn't have to give a reason for nominating him, just watch Fox news or read the NY Post. He could make the 'hated' list in all the countries he's lived and meddled.

Choose your top 5.
The ones that you would line up against the wall first when the revolution comes.

cuckoofrommars Jan 24th 2005 5:51 pm

Re: The 50 most loathsome people in America
 
Ok..

1 - Brent Bozell - the twat who bulk-complained about Janet Jackson and the old one from Depserate Housewives, is the most powerful man involved in what America's children will read, and is ****ing with what I'm allowed to see and listen too. And he's ginger.
2 - Jim DeMint - mad homophobic sexist freak that North Carolinian's voted for.
3 - Celine Dion - for crimes against humanity.
4 - Michael Savage - for telling someone they deserve to have AIDS and die.
5 - Dr Phil. Fat prick with a diet book. Need I say more.

Krugman, Moore and Hannity would come very close.

Bit of a porky pig tho.

I'd nudge John Derbyshire up too for his idiotic comments on Abu ghraib - if you don't know his words of wisdom were "kick one for me." Yeah and add the lawyer for arguing that piling naked prisoners in pyramids isn't abuse because "cheerleaders do it all the time."

Anyone want to do a nicer list of 50 people who everyone should adore? As long as Oprah winfrey isn't on it. She's as bad as Dr Phil with her "another sensational trend amongst our nations children - middle class teenage prostitutuion" crapola. She's as tabloidy as the rest of them.

A couple of them are obvious - but why the entire cast ?
And what has Toby Keith done to unleash your wrath upon him ?

(Not familiar with the last one - Country singer I think.)

"The obnoxiously gung-ho country singer Toby Keith (who, in the wake of 9/11, scored a country number one with an offensive record called Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue (The Angry American), which threatened "we'll put a boot in your ass, it's the American way", launched his own anti-Chicks crusade. His shows now feature a backdrop depicting Natalie Maines and Saddam Hussein as lovers. Another image has her face superimposed on the body of a toad."

http://www.guardian.co.uk/arts/frida...026475,00.html

The top 50 list in the original link describes Keith as an "ambulatory hamburger".

Martha Stewart. Smug cow.

Isn't Celine Dion a French Canadian - is she now (also) a US citizen?

Thanks for your nominations but again I have to ask for what reason ?

Who is Nancy Pelosi and why is she so loathsome ?
The original list mentions mostly famous (or infamous people) - what is this reason for her inclusion ? She's not all that well known...

Still Canadian but I'm including anyone that is resident or works here.

She's high (or is that low ?) on the list already.

elfman Jan 25th 2005 2:37 am

Re: The 50 most loathsome people in America
 
S'pose I ought to give reasons for the two I mentioned in the first post (and add some):

Sean Hannity - surely one of the most shamelessly dishonest people on the planet. Add to that an intolerably smug, condescending self-righteousness and you have a combination that makes me want to boot the ****ing telly in if he appears even fleetingly.

Rush Limbaugh - another liar but not in Hannity's class. Limbaugh's speciality is pompous hypocrisy: Virtually advocated the death penalty for drug addicts until everyone found out he was one himself, since when he's changed his tune somewhat. Has been one of the biggest cheerleaders for the Iraq war but dodged the Vietnam draft because he had an anal cyst (true).

Trent Lott - Republican. Still advocates segregation. Has hair that makes Donald Trump's look sensible. Nuff said.

"Pastor" Fred Phelps - homophobic barely hints at this bloke and his sick organisation, which has been known to picket the funerals of gay people with "God hates fags" banners.

Zell Miller - he's on the list in the link but I just wanted to mention him again. His speech at the republican convention was an assault on democracy itself.

Paris Hilton - no talent, no brains, no class, and to be frank not that much in the looks department either.

Whoever wrote the screenplay for "Ocean's Twelve" - never have I felt so personally insulted by a movie and so angry that I'd given the makers my money. As the movie critic for The New Yorker put it: "the film treats us like servants who are expected to be thrilled that our masters are having such a great time on vacation." Quite.

I don't think there was a screenplay. I think the cast of 11 just had a bit of spare time before Julia popped so decided to get together and make some money.

I managed to watch the first 15 mins then snored my way through the rest of it. Mr Sibsie had to wake me up after the end credits.

I knew I'd forget one, so I hope nobody minds if I add Pat Robertson to the the list. A man who's programme The 700 Club is (as well as being a republican mouthpiece) a shining example of everything that's wrong with the christian faith in the world today.

On Fox over there ?! You unlucky bastard.
On UPN over here (late at night) as well as the god squad channel.
Not stuck around to listen to their diatribes, but from what I can gather the apocalypse is on it's way and everybody (apart from them) is to blame for it.

I've been wondering why watching any religious progamming over here makes me long for the days of Songs Of Praise :) At least it wasn't a party political broadcast for the Tories, and didn't try to ram it's own religious views down your throat.
