The 20 Most ANNOYING Liberals

Only 20?

I'd add Reps. Maxine Waters (for conspiracy theories and gaffes galore), Sheila Jackson Lee (reaching Schumer-like proportions of self-promotion/media-whoring) and, representing my former home (CT's 3rd district), the lovely Rosa DeLauro (just for being her).

well.. bill clinton should have been number 1. he just has ruined democratic party. He made the party of the Denise Rich/Terry Mcauliff of the world. What happen to the liberals that were like Harry Truman and Tip O'neal? they never were said anything stupid and they were always optimistic.

they never were said anything stupid and they were always optimistic.

These days that's an oxymoron. You can't be optomistic without sounding stupid, or at least neive...

well.. bill clinton should have been number 1. he just has ruined democratic party.

Which is why he shouldn't be there. Conservatives should love this guy for essentially driving any and all traces of true "liberalism" from the Democrats and pushing them further to the center than they've ever been before.

I nominate myself, Hippie and yerdaddy for this list, just because I can.

Way to flog that forever damaging partisan rhetoric, Heck. Keep on truckin'.

I consider myself Left of Center, but Terry McAuliffe enrages me. Granted, H Carl McCall ran a bad campaign for Governor of NYS, but he was the most qualified man to run for the job since Teddy Roosevelt. McCall ran out of money early, as Gov Pataki -- as the incumbent -- had an infinite treasure trove of Wall Street cash to draw upon. McCall, who was running to become the First African American Governor in NY, asked McCauliffe for some more dinero. McCauliffe -- blind to the fact that African Americans have given 90 plus percent of their votes to the Democratic Part since Jim Crow -- told McCall he couldn't because the Democratic Party only had a certain amount and they only want to spend it on candidates THAT THEY THINK CAN WIN. The Pataki camp, at this point, could barely proclaim their glee: Not only had the head of the party told McCall -- days before the election -- that he couldn't win, but he said it PUBLICLY. My deepest wish is to see Terry McCauliffe burning in the hottest Dantean circle of Hell.

Jimmy Carter #1? Could the author of this list be riding the Elephant any harder?

A decent list. Though, Sean Penn has no opinion on Iraq one way or the other. He just visited to try to get both sides. People try to compare this to Jane Fonda visiting North Vietnam.

They were a little rough on Jimmy Carter, though. An annoying liberal? Yes, but he is consistent and has morals.

My #1 would have been Michael Moore.

Oh my God -- I just learned that Terry McAuliffe went to my college: Catholic University Class of 1979. I got a letter today from my Alumni Association and he's hosting a Capitol Hill Alumni Reception next month along with Sen. Tom Harkin and Baltimore Mayor Martin O'Malley (also CUA grads).

This article might actually be important, except that we liberals totally own the media already, so it won't get any kind of real attention. In your face, Spaldings. Neeeeener-neeeener-neeeeener...

20) Ed Asner: his quote is a glib generalization, but I like it. I can't see hating a guy for not wanting a war that hasn't been justified. I don't know many liberals who care what celebrities think anyway.

19) Amiri Baraka: a poet? Never heard of him. Anyone who believes that Israel or Bush, Germany, England and France knew about the 9-11 attacks before they happened is a tool. I'm glad that this is the most prominent person they could find for this list that believes this garbage.

17+18) Sean Penn and Woody Harrelson: Again, being opposed to an unjust, politically motivated war is a problem? This list is sounding more like another piece of evidence of my own generalization: that conservatives never met a war they didn't like.

16) Norman Mailer: a social critic, and has been one for about 150 years now. He points out that America has simplified the problem of terrorism to "evil" and haters of freedom, ignoring the fact that they defeated all our defenses to get to us. I think it's important that we, as a whole, are aware of the fact that some of these fuckers are capeable of something like that. Boiling terrorism down to soundbites, like the Bush administration has done all along, is condecending and dangerous. Mailer also thinks that patriotism in the US is like being a sports fan - all flags, foam hands and hoopla, with little contribution to whether the team wins or loses. But a democracy is not like football game; the population really are players, beyond just paying taxes and voting. But most Americans don't even vote, much less play an active role in dealing with issues, making the sporadic overt patriotism ring hollow. Mailer is a liberal ideologue, but I think he's got important criticisms to make.

15) Jesse Jackson: "Like shower mildew or toenail fungus, Jackson never really seems to go away no matter what happens to him." Like "political correctness" and feminism, Jesse Jackson would be entirely irrelevant if conservatives and the press didn't keep them afloat to serve their own purposes. They guy criticizes a movie and he makes this list? Okay! We got that already! Now let's move on! Wee wee wee wee boring!

14) Michael Moore: The Rush Limbaugh Lite of the left. For satirical social commentary I like him. For hard facts about major issues, I can't bear him. Can't blame them for puting them on the list.

13) Gore Vidal: (See Norman Mailer.)

12) Harry Belafonte: (See Jesse Jackson)

11) Bill Clinton: Bill Clinton is only a liberal to conservatives. Most liberals threw him out of the club after the first year of his presidency. I would call him a carreer-oriented moderate, (I called him a conservative before the Bush administration's first year). But Clinton's successes in pandering to the middle and conservatives made him the one man that conservatives hate MORE than liberals. This is no small feat considering that blaming liberals for everything from 9-11 to Bush's butchery of the english language is the bread and butter of conservitism today. This list blames Clinton for the current intefada in the Middle East, North Korea's nukes, etc., (but they don't mention his biggest foreign policy crime - stonewalling the UN Mission to Rwanda when he could have prevented the murder of 1 million people, because he didn't want to take criticsm from the Republicans. To conservatives this is a non-issue, of course). This is a game that I'm sure is as old as politics itself: blame your opponent for everything that happened during his term, and everything that happens during your own party's term. Even the quote used got them angry because he beat Bush to it. (See Jesse Jackson on relevancy).

10) Tom Daschle: (see Bill Clinton, but when he's gone, he'll be forgotten)

9) Cynthia McKinney: I have to say I'm biased here. While she is a liberal ideologue and has been wrong on some well-publicized issues, I've worked with her staff on little-known issues and she's been a valuable defender of human rights in parts of the world. Much like visiting Bob Jones University for some Republicans, Cynthia does t

Mojo's pick: Me, (I don't know who Hippie is.Is he the guy who ran for president as the Greenbud candidate?), and I would add Mojo, because he worked for "The Man."

Oh, don't act like you don't know who our own Dark Hippie is! He was about the sole hardcore liberal who could actually string a pair of sentences together holding the fort down here before we arrived.

And, uh, I was there to take The Company down from the inside...yeah, THAT'S the ticket...

Socialist Workers Party and the American Communits Party: They're borderline cults that push their stupid newspapers at every big protest. Go to therapy! Your parents fucked you up! Get over it!

The most annoying thing is that they put up most of the money behind the significant anti-globalization protests, and a good share of the anti-war protests...and the people who show up are not aware of this fact. Part of it is that the "commies" keep it on the downlow, except for the shilling of their pamphlets, natch, but the worst part is it just demonstrates the blatant ignorance of a lot of the "weekend" liberals/radicals who just want to show up and make a scene for the cameras. If you don't even know who's organnizing the protest/rally you're going to, how educated are you even going to be on the very issue you're showing up to champion/fight against?

Gives the rest of us a bad name...

Schumer isn't so much a liberal that he would go on this list. He has had a tendency to the right on a few issues.

that's news to me. What is there to pay for at a protst? The sound system for the speakers? Big dumb floats? Seems to me that who organizes or funds an event is of little importance to the vast majority to the participants.

I once spoke to a Communist group about East Timor and the World Bank/IMF, (for a stipend for my organization). They thought I was going to slam the WB/IMF and were pissed when I didn't. They moved on to strategizing how to how they could get all these single-issue NGOs in Washington organized around the Communist party. It was sad and stupid. These people were so out of touch with reality. They didn't know how irrelevant they were. But they payed us $150 to talk to 15 people. Losers.

Funding that involves transportation, city fees/permits, food, equipment, anything along those lines. I don't have a problem with them doing it, just the people who are unaware that they're doing it.

I actually like Christopher Hitchens.
I like him sometimes, like when he was on CSPAN Booknotes. He was kind of mellow until the angry conservatives called in and he said, "here we go. This is more like it." and he was hysterical. Someone went on a long rant, (no, it wasn't me), and finished by calling him a traitor. He just said "I can't be a traitor if I'm not a citizen." He really knew his stuff. But I went out and bought the magazine that published the article form of "The Case Against Henry Kissinger" and I was greatly dissappointed. I was mostly congecture, anecdotes and weak arguments. I was surprised because there's so much actual information in original sources, if he had just taken a trip to the National Security Archives, that he didn't have to make it such weak arguments. Maybe the book had the better sources, I don't know.

The other two things that make him annoying are that overly-long and contrived fued with Noam Chomsky, and his attack on liberals in general after 9-11. Both of these events seemed to be designed to draw attention to himelf. Annoying.

Christopher Hitchens is hit or miss. No One Left To Lie To about the Clintons and Missionary Position about Mother Theresa are interesting. I saw him at the 92nd Street Y and he was just a bully.
