I hope nobody strikes back, I didn't really search to see if this thread has been done before. Anyways, read that link, it's freaking hilarious.

I'd C&P but it's a long article.

So what do you think of the list, and who do you think was missing?

Also, share your favorite lines and/or cartoons from the hilarious link above!

I like the Cindy Sheehan entry:

http://buffalobeast.com/113/loathpics/sheehan.gif

"...A massive failure as a parent, it literally took the death of a family member to elevate Sheehan’s political awareness to that of a self-righteous college freshman with pungent dreadlocks and a Che Guevara T-shirt...."

These are great, and they attack both left and right wingers so everyone can enjoy!

These lists keep coming up. Some ultrarightwingers made at least two books about "People Screwing Up America" which were loaded with their political enemies. Then some dolt ultraleftwinger took revenge and made a similar book with his political enemies.

I think this image of Tony Snow is pretty good.

This list contains both!

:goodjob:

The Beast is awesome!

Any website that produces quality material such as this deserves my blessings:

I guess The Beast isn't too popular with Republicans.

29. Jesus Christ

Charges: May not have existed, and if he did, probably wasn’t even American, but more of a dark-hued Jewish dwarf. A hygienically challenged hairball who rarely bathed or brushed his teeth. If alive today, he’d appropriately be branded as schizophrenic and disregarded by society. Sermon on the Mount was the very definition of socialism, and subsequently an affront to the self-regulating benevolence of the free market. An appeasing, cheek-turning ***** like this would never cut the mustard in America today.

Exhibit A: Contrary to prevailing pop theology, absolutely everyone, including the sheepishly devout, will be "left behind" at the apocalypse and forced to endure what biblical scholars estimate to be from 3 to 7 years of "hell on earth" before scoring that golden bus ticket to the gated community in the sky. Kind of a dick move, no?

Sentence: Second coming completely ignored, as it happens to coincide with Brangelina’s wedding.

That whole list is crappy and not even moderately amusing.

Excellent find Fifty, some of those were priceless!

I disagree, it's a great send up of American figures of loathing.

I'd put Bush at no.1, but that's a personal choice :)

For a brief, shining moment in ‘06, it looked like the nation might finally be rid of this sniveling sitzpinkler, but Joe Lieberman just keeps coming back, like herpes.
I had no idea that Sitzpinkler had found its way into the English language. Awesome, one step closer to cultural victory!

That whole list is crappy and not even moderately amusing.

See what I mean? Republicans aren't going to like this one.

5. O.J. Simpson

Charges: "If" we were compiling a list of, say, "The 50 Most Loathsome Americans of 2006," purely in the hypothetical of course, we’d be remiss not to squeeze The Juice in somewhere. . . . If I Did It . . . was so repulsive it was cancelled in a rare victory of decency, answering the old question: "How horrible does a person have to be for Rupert Murdoch to balk at doing business with him?":goodjob:

Seriously, how dirty does a dollar have to be before even Murdoch won't stoop to pick it up?

See what I mean? Republicans aren't going to like this one.

hehe, I gave up caring what Republicans think with the rise of the neocon, if they start talking sense, then I'll listen, but anything that resorts to the neocon idealogy, nah. A waste of good idealogical time.

As a Britain who's humour is based on sending themselves up I can't help but admire the satire in this thread :) and the link.

That was funny.

I don't like it either. Just a bunch of crap really, had no point what so ever. Unfairly attacked Nancy Pelosi with a bunch of lies and that Cindy Sheehan thing is full of crap, really.

Another triumph of OT: Left and Right, coming together, in perfect harmony.

I feel world peace and the Second Coming may be upon us. ;)

(Note: before anyone gets their knickers in a twist: I came in at no. 16, which was higher than both Sheehan and Pelosi. First, Time magazine and now this, the honors do not stop! :king: )

Come on guys, it's funny! I understand that humour is subjective but so far the only complains are coming from people so entrenched in their political alignements that any objectivity is thrown out the window as soon as criticism, even in a comedy form, shows its ugly ugly head. Lighten up people!

Thanks, Fifty. That was a good read. There was some names on there that I was not familiar with. Very funny, yet informative :)

What part of that was lies exactly?

Some of those (okay, most) were pretty funny. And a few were either too nasty or too true to be funny.

But you can tell that it's a moderate liberal (or more than one) that wrote it. Carville is hung for partisanship, Pelosi for dropping Bush impeachment proceedings, Ford for pardoning Nixon, Sheehan for not really suffering for her cause. Most of the others are either celebrities or right-wingers.

Cindy Sheehan really needs to be higher. She's among the World's stupidest people. Her only solution to getting the troops out of Iraq is shouting down the party in control of Congress. :rolleyes:

Most of these guys I didn't know...

Then you need to work harder Green-Card boy! :p

Then you need to work harder Green-Card boy! :p

:lol: I knew the top 10! Please! Don't send me back to Cheese-eating Monkey land!

Most of these guys I didn't know...


Neither did I.

COOL! IM NUMBER 16
AND I DONT EVEN LIVE IN AMERICA:
"
16. You

Charges: Your whole life has been a pitiful exercise in rote mimicry, a meek subjugation of individuality in exchange for herd approval. Your delusions of "common sense" wisdom stem from an unwillingness to seek information and an inability to critically analyze it. You never hesitate to offer strong opinions on subjects you don’t know a damn thing about. You’re willing to believe anything a guy in a suit says on TV, as long as it doesn’t hint at your culpability in the negligent homicide of your country and planet or otherwise cloud your streak-free conscience. You’re more worried about friction on the "Desperate Housewives" set than the lack of health coverage at your tedious, soul-destroying job. You have no idea what is going on in the world, and you’re fine with that. You are why democracy doesn’t work.

Exhibit A: You’re Time magazine’s person of the year. So was Hitler.

Sentence: More of the same.

"

And in a completely unsurprising development, once again the mid-left and mid-right agree together against the far-left and far-right. This WAS funny :-D

You'd think we should replace our current political system with the Moderate Party and the Extremist Party :-D

That would be excellent. Then there would be actual differences between the parties!

19. Steven Milloy

Charges: It’s a pretty ****ed up world in which a falsified memoir of drug addiction can spark widespread outrage, but a lawyer and registered lobbyist posing as a science expert can take money from Exxon Mobil and Phillip Morris to spread blatant lies without repercussion. Milloy, writing under the ironically accurate title of "junk science expert" for foxnews.com and at his own website, junkscience.com, is in the business of dismissing any and all alarming scientific studies about, well, anything—global warming, secondhand smoke, livestock diseases, pollution, insecticides, guns—employing statistical sleight of hand and relying on the ignorance of his readers. Like fictional "climate expert" Michael Crichton, Milloy warns us against evil "environmental extremists" who deliberately trick us into fearing global warming just to increase their funding. The theory seems a little shaky, considering that there’s a lot more to be made lying for oil, tobacco and chemical firms like Milloy.

Exhibit A: Three days after 9/11, Milloy took the opportunity to argue that the buildings collapsed because of asbestos regulation.

Sentence: Fed alive to emaciated polar bears.

:lol: The sentence for this guy was hilarious

I think that the list makes a good point, albeit unintended, and that is that the current state of affairs in this country and throughout the world is everybody's fault.

Maybe.... yet, I don't think the representation is exactly proportional. Sort of like, all sides have their douchebags, but one side seems to have more than the others...

That expression on Sheehan's face is incomprehensible, until I found this:

http://www.israellycool.com/blog/_archives/2005/12/10

I thought that it was mildly humerous, if over the top sometimes. It isn't supposed to be serious or true really.

#38 was my fav out of the bunch.

'Us' was a very funny one.

At least I learned Carlos Mencia wasn't just a crappy comedian, he's a fraud to.

It would probably be funnier if I knew who any of them were. So I didn't read too much of it.

Come on guys, it's funny! I understand that humour is subjective but so far the only complains are coming from people so entrenched in their political alignements that any objectivity is thrown out the window as soon as criticism, even in a comedy form, shows its ugly ugly head. Lighten up people!
I don't mind constructive criticism, or even good political humor. I think The Daily Show and Colbert Report are usually at amusing, even if they both lean left and criticize President Bush a great deal. It's not that I mind people making fun of Republicans (Unless they're being singled out) the list simply wasn't funny. It was pretty much just stupid, actually, and I didn't laugh once going through it.

I disagree, Commie and I dislike it for different reasons. Commie dislikes it because he thinks it's lying about Pelosi and other leftists; I dislike it because I don't think any of it is particularly amusing and I think it's simply stupid.

My favorite was the Glenn Beck one. Seriously, he is to political talk as Carson Daly is to Late Night. He's as big an empty talking head as they get.

I like the Chattin' With Chomsky section.

He didn't answer if he has been given a "purple nurple", though.
