Since this is the season of “eating your own” — I came across this list of Right Wingers who are most-hated by their fellow wingnuts. There are some curious inclusions on the list that require some understanding of how folks “over there” think and strategize.
Right Wing News conducted their annual survey documenting the right’s least favorite righties. Most interesting news of it is that Ron Paul came in as most hated.Here’s the list:
18) Ted Stevens (4)
18) Olympia Snowe (4)
18) Mel Martinez (4)
18) Sean Hannity (4)
18) Lincoln Chafee (4)
17) Bill O’Reilly (5)
14) Lindsey Graham (6)
14) George W. Bush (6)
14) Mitt Romney (6)
12) Arnold Schwarzenegger (9)
12) Rudy Giuliani (9)
8) Andrew Sullivan (11)
8) Chuck Hagel (11)
8) James Dobson (11)
8) Ann Coulter (11)
6) Arlen Specter (12)
6) Pat Robertson (12)
4) Larry Craig (13)
4) Michael Savage (13)
3) John McCain (17)
2) Pat Buchanan (18)
1) Ron Paul (23)
Of course the list is queer and upside down — so you’ll have to use your intellect (as usual) to figure out what your lower-IQ opponents are trying to portray.
And, I just can’t help myself… I thought you’d like to see some of the “insightful” explanations of how this list came to exist from the mental giants on the other side:
I’m willing to bet that most people barely recognize any of the names in that survey group.
________________________________________________This list is absurd…since when do Lefties hate Hagel, Specter and Chafee???
They are hated by their own party!
________________________________________________This list is pretty useless as any barometer of rightie feeling. It would be more interesting to see which group of righties is hating what kind of rightie and why. Obviously the person who is hating ann coulter is not the same one who is hating Olympia Snowe. Larry Craig was probably loved by all unitl he went homo in a bathroom. Nice to see there are some decent minded righites that abhor the bigotted nonsense of Micheal “Weiner” Thavage. As for George, I believe that is for being the one who, more than any other, symbolizes the failure that is the republican party.
________________________________________________This could only come from a neoconservative survey. Palioconservatives can simply look at the numbers and clearly see the Jacobin Neocons disdain, as most neocons are like first cousins to liberals. When social conservatives and the old conservative Dixiecrats exit to fill the ranks of a third party, the Rockefeller Republicans will abandon their Wilsonian policies under the whip of liberalism!
________________________________________________No true conservatives could have ended up with this list, which is pretty much upside down. This was a survey of Republicans, not conservatives.
________________________________________________So RWN comes up with a list of 25 people they hate and add another couple dozen names no one has ever heard of to make it look like a choice? Is this a joke? That’s the sort of pointless tripe I would expect from Huffington Post. Or Michelle Oddis. How many people were tricked into voting, looks like maybe 100? Queen Ann, I mean come on. They missed Rush Limbaugh on their phony list as well. I would say this is a neocon hate list but Hannity’s on it. I guess I’m missing the punchline here. Not the first time I guess.
________________________________________________skANNk Coulter probably fell off this list, because she said jews needed “perfecting” at the hands of “christians”. Her and Hitler, who’d a thunkit?
________________________________________________I am sorry, but I think the title to this list should have been, Least favorite “righties,” according to “righties.” There are very few real conservatives on the list in the first place. If you are going to call them righties, then maybe you should put actual righties on the list. I see just 3-4 actual righties even on the list and I like them. But, what do I know? I am just a dumb conservative that’s going to write in a name on election day 08. Even though he is not a rightie, I do like the fact that Sean Hannity is on the list. He is certainly one of my least favorites so-called conservatives.
________________________________________________John McCain is going to be the Next President of the United States!!
________________________________________________Former Mexican presidente Vincente Fox and current el presidente Calderon would love to see a McCain presidency. Hey, maybe we should just let an international court decide who our next president should be. Also, I have to wonder if Mexico will be allowed to vote in our next election, and if so, how many electoral votes will they get?
________________________________________________We let a kangaroo court decide that this idiot would be our president now. An international court might not be a bad idea compared to that.
________________________________________________Ted Stevens is a rightie??? Since when???
So, which “Hated Ones” surprised you most?
Notice any patterns in what gets a “former” Right Winger on the list of shame?

Please?
“most neocons are like first cousins to liberals”
Okayyyy.
surprises me in a sort of good way. She’s always on Fox, I thought she was much more loved than the list lets on. And I’m shocked at where John McCain scores now. Why did he sell himself out? It’s very strange. I used to have a sort of respect for him in 2000, now I have none and his own party doesn’t seem to be impressed with him either.
