Granted, this list was compiled by people on the right — the editors at Townhall. That’s one reason I’m bringing it up here for debate. Did they get it right?
I count three current or former Georgians on the list — Newt Gingrich, Clarence Thomas and Erick Erickson; no Tom Price or Ralph Reed — and it’s interesting that 4.5 of the top 10 are women (the half referring to the fact that No. 7 is “the tea party patriot”).
The entire top 10, in ascending order and with my comments in parentheses:
10. Michele Bachmann (The most hated Republican in Congress? Really?)
9. Bill O’Reilly (Higher than Sean Hannity? Really?)
8. Dick Cheney (Only question imo is whether he or Karl Rove ires liberals more.)
7. The tea party patriot (A little too close to “Time’s Person of the Year: You” for my taste.)
6. Michelle Malkin (Not many liberals naming babies Michelle [or Michele] these days, I suppose.)
5. Ann Coulter (No surprise here.)
4. George W. Bush (How many years will pass before he makes it out of the top 10? Will he, or we, live to see it?)
3. Rush Limbaugh (Not No. 1? Is this Elton John’s fault?)
2. Sarah Palin (But of course.)
… and at No. 1, Glenn Beck.
Thoughts? Who would make the opposite list — people hated by the right?
(H/t: Hot Air, whose bloggers Ed Morrisey and Allahpundit are ranked Nos. 49 and 65, respectively.)

“That’s the problem for a lot of us, isn’t it? There seems to be no one representing center/center right anymore.”
No, the problem is most people on the right work for a living instead of spending their days, like the left, on the computer blogging and playing World of Warcraft.
Here is a list of highly intelligent “right wingers.”
1: Victor Davis Hanson
2: Thomas Sowell
3: Jonah Goldberg
4: Charles Krauthammer
5: Dick Morris
6: George Will
7: Mark Steyn
8: Mark Levine
9: Mike Adams
10: Greg Pollowitz

Well, Obama has a law degree from Harvard and knows absolutely nothing about leading the country, running an economy, oil spills, health care, budget deficits etc……

“Sarah Palin is not popular with the American people.”
Keep on telling yourself that.
“The NBC/WSJ poll released 2 days ago confirm it. Only 29% have a positive image of her vs 43% who have a negative image of her.”
That’s because they poll people in NYC. Besides, she isn’t even in office. Kind of funny that left wing idiots have to do a poll on someone who doesn’t make policy.
“Republicans have an image problem, not only with liberals, but with the entire country.”
That MUST be why they’re poised to slaughter the democrats in November.
People like Danny X have a logic problem.

“Glen Beck is just plain crazy, and losing it more each day. Hannity is just hateful of Obama. I don’t know how he can separate this and love his family at the same time. If you have love in your heart, you cannot hate. You might not like some people, but hate would not enter. He really hates Obama.”
Funny because the left for 8 years wanted Bush to die and vocalized it everyday. Hell, left wingers held up KILL BUSH signs and even made a movie about him getting shot.
Left wingers are just bitter that FOX destroys every single left wing news outlet in every category.
Also funny when CNN replaces a half dead old guy with a disgraced ex-governor who cheated on his wife with prostitutes. Ironic since Larry King cheated on his wife with every skank in NYC.

LOL! You know its bad when even Rasmussen can’t find a decent Republican presidential candidate.
They released a poll a few days ago showing Hillary Clinton at the top of the “most qualified to be president” list.
Hillary Clinton- 57% think she is qualified vs 34% not.
Obama- 51% think he is qualified vs 44 not.
Mitt Romney- 49% vs. 32%
SARAH PALIN- 26% say she is qualified vs 61% NOT!…… LMAO!
Republican mouths better start propping up politicians like Romney who are not all out nuts, or they will have almost no chance in the near future of taking back the White House. There is no sign whatsoever they plan on doing this.

We’re what, two years away from the next election? I’m sure a bag of nails would run the country better than Obozo the clown.
As for Hillary, she’s too busy gaining weight and running after her “husband” to care about running for president.
“SARAH PALIN- 26% say she is qualified vs 61% NOT!…… LMAO!”
If Sarah Palin is such a joke, why do you left wing retards keep bringing her up?
“Republican mouths better start propping up politicians like Romney who are not all out nuts, or they will have almost no chance in the near future of taking back the White House.”
We don’t have to. Obozo the clown is doing a great job at handing back the White House.
“There is no sign whatsoever they plan on doing this.”
Yes there is. His name is Hussein Obama!

You can add Senator Jon Kyle to the list (if he’s not already on it).
You know that “he said/he said” post you you recently devoted to the Kyl/Obama dust up? The one where you said that you believed Kyl, and that you didn’t think that he would make up such a thing? Turns out, Kyl made it up.
Here’s Kyl’s “clarification”: “Kyl tells us that the comments were ‘taken a bit out of context,’ and that the ‘they’ he was referring to was the Left, ‘the president’s base,’ and not the administration.” http://tinyurl.com/3ya88vf

Yep, and people like Bookman and Tucker devote 5 articles a week talking about how stupid she is……….all while she’s laughing at them.
“Coulter…too ugly to hate…more of a pity thing.”

I am amazed Hannity isn’t on the list. I dont count Ann Coulter as anything but a publicity whore. I dont really think she believes the crap that comes out of her mouth…she says it for shock value and book sales…most of them are the same to a degree. Michele Bachmann is just too stupid to know anything. I would be truly embarrassed to be in her district right now

November will be a landslide for Conservatives, not Republicans.

Pay attention conservatives. Vote. Understand who you are voting for or you’ll get Alvin Greene from SC.
The United States can’t afford more silence, apathy or tyranny.
If somebody tries to shut you up, then speak louder.
If they assault you, catch it on video.
youtube is powerful and can go viral almost instantly.
Exercise your freedoms to communicate, share, speak, assemble, protest and above all… Participate actively.

“….If you oppose the teachings in the BIBLE..the left loves you” are the words of a CINO (Christian In Name Only) who has no idea what is between the covers of the Bible. I would suggest reading Proverbs 6:16-19 where we are told what God hates and is an abomination to Him. If you believe what the Bible says, it sure doesn’t seem like God favors the Hard Right.
“These six things does the Lord hate: yes, seven are an abomination unto Him: 1) A proud look, (2) a lying tongue, (3) hands that shed innocent blood, (4) a heart that devises wicked imaginations, (5) feet that are swift in running to mischief, (6) a false witness who speaks lies, and (7) one who sows discord among brethren.” Glenn, Rush, Sean, Billo and fellow false witness discord-sowers with wicked imaginations, God calls you an abomination.
God also tells us all we need to know about some of the female right-wing types listed above in Proverbs 9:13 with, “A foolish woman is CLAMOROUS (noisy): she is SIMPLE, and she KNOWETH NOTHING.”

When you are the blog voice of the right..and you want to play kids games, and create divisions, by talking about them, instead of trying to create positivity amongst all Americans, perhaps you should move back to Amsterdam.
You did loose the last election, and instead of wasting time, by stopping progress….the right ought to deal with what is real…….how about an oil spill, or what we can do to improve the job picture, and rebuild the American infrastructure.
Grade school stunts like this are really uncalled for, when all American’s need to bond as a society and country….sad blog!

Leftys need a firm leader to provide guidance- someone they can submit to- in exchange for economic protection.That leader is government. Left wingers are chicks.
Note how the left fears guns. They drive silly little cars-ooh that big F-150 is scarey! Chicks.
