One of the more prominent right-wing blogs held a contest to name the 25 worst Americans. They solicited the views of 100 leading conservative bloggers to ascertain exactly who among us are the biggest stinkers.
Who would you guess they'd pick? Al Capone, James Jones, Charles Manson, Jeffrey Dahmer, Lee Harvey Oswald, Ma Barker? Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, and nope. Michele Bachmann? Sadly, no.
Alfred Packer, who ate four of seven possible Democrats in Hinsdale County, CO in the 1800's was not named on this occasion, but may appear in their subsequent "greatest Americans" list.
In yet another massive failure of conservative imagination, conservative bloggers chose these three people as the worst Americans who ever lived: Jimmy Carter, Barack Obama, Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Incomprehensible...seriously, what is the deal with these people? I currently work with one whose views routinely send actual CHILLS up my spine. They seem to generate a lot of energy from hating the unhate-able. And I've got a Masters in English and I DON'T CARE if that's not a word...

They didn't even put Obama FIRST, which, since he's a gay Mexican socialist, kind of surprised me. Or FDR should have been first. He undercut their "no government" ideology better than anybody. But Carter?
