The 20 Most Annoying People on the Right

by John Hawkins
Posted Jan 03, 2007


After spending so much time beating up on liberals in 2006, I thought it was only fair to write an article nailing people on our side of the aisle.

16) Pat Robertson: "Television evangelist Pat Robertson suggested Thursday that Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's stroke was divine retribution for the Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, which Robertson opposed." -- CNN

15) Pat Buchanan: Although Pat still occasionally shows flashes of brilliance, the older he gets, the more reflexively cranky, conspiratorial, and isolationist he becomes.

9) Chuck Hagel: A whiny, wimpy Republican who takes great delight in trying to undercut the war on terrorism. PS: I jumped for joy when I heard the rumor that he may retire in 2008.

8) Joe Scarborough: MSNBC's pet conservative and one of the leaders of the "I hope we lose camp" in 2006. So, we did lose. How you liking it, Joe?

Find all 20 of these annoying people HERE! (http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=18751)

Chuch Hagel is on the right? :P

[RED]

Yeah! Just to the right of Jesse Jackson and Cindy Sheehan. :smirky:

The contrast between Cindy's smug grin and Jesse's obvious discomfort is priceless.

As for annoying conservatives, I would have to put McCain up there, as Hawkins does, especially since he's definitely more to the right than Hagel--yet to the left of much common sense.

[Naturalized-Texan]

I agree with everyone on the list but two - I like Larry Kudlow's views on economics and often read his columns in National Review Online and George W. Bush should not be on the list. John McCain certainly belongs at the top of the list.

I voted enthusiastically for Shelly Sekula-Gibbs, but I was disappointed with the reports of her behavior, if true, when her staff resigned. It's possible that her name should not be on the list.

[RED]

I thought Hawkins was trying to be kind. After all, Bush came in as only the 10th most annoying on his list. :biggrin:

oooO{ Shut up, honky ho! }

[DesertFox]

From the article:

3) Jerome Corsi: Nobody has worked harder to convince people that the completely moronic North American conspiracy theory is real than the right's version of Dylan Avery, kooky Jerome Corsi.

2) Mark Foley: Thanks to this page-molesting pervert, the Republican Party had to spend the final weeks of the 2006 campaign talking about what the GOP leadership could have done to prevent gay cybersex. Thanks a lot, you creep!

1) John McCain: The No. 1 Republican advocate for coddling terrorists at Gitmo, amnesty for illegals, and curtailing free speech about elections. If the Republicans in the Senate are planting a thumb in the eye of conservatives, 9 times out of 10, you can count on this egomaniac being at the root of it.

[DesertFox]

I just wonder when John McCain went "right." I wasn't aware of him doing it in the last 20 or so years.

[Lubbock]

I can't get the link to work for me, but from the ones posted: Pat Robertson is not a Conservative, he's an old man in his dotage whose family should put him under lock and ley; Pat Buchanan is not a Conservative, he's an antisemitic Nazi; Chuck Hagel is not a Conservative, he's a quisling; Joe Scarborough is not a Conservative, he's an asshole.

[DesertFox]

Lubbock got it right. This dude's list of people "on the right" shows a buncha folks who are no more "on the right" than John Effin' is.

[RED]

Pat Buchanan is not a Conservative, he's an antisemitic Nazi; Chuck Hagel is not a Conservative, he's a quisling; Joe Scarborough is not a Conservative, he's an asshole.

:rotflmbo:

Actually, Pat Buchanan is a paleo-conservative just like the late, Joe Bisqwik.

[Maggie_T]

Good to see the High Priests and Priestesses of Civil Discourse missed this thread. Otherwise, Ann Coulter would have been #1, I guess. :rolleyes:

[hdmundt]

The inclusion of Kudlow makes no sense (to me). I agree with McCain being a the very top of the list (if "right" he can be said to be at all).

[Riverboat]

Here's my list:

1. Pat Buchanan

2-20. Michael Savage

[BEST45CAL]

I was looking for Ann Coulter, too. Oh well.

[Un Con Troll Able]

Definitely agree with #10 -- every word of it.

[Lubbock]

You mean Ann Coulter didn't make the list? [I still can't get the article to come up for me.]

[Maggie_T]

No, Lub. Hence my post (in which some people failed to to see the sarcasm).

[Maggie_T]

Here's my list:

1. Pat Buchanan

2-20. Michael Savage


I can certainly agree with that.

[RED]

Definitely agree with #10 -- every word of it.

10) George Bush: I really hate to ding the President on a list like this, but he showed a level of political incompetence last year that hasn't been seen since the Carter Administration and that had a lot to do with the drubbing Republicans took in 2006. Moreover, there's the out-of-control spending, his incredibly obnoxious position on illegal immigration, and his seeming reluctance to get serious about Iran, Syria, North Korea and Muqtada al-Sadr is getting to be a real drag.

IAC, as long as the people who are annoyed are liberals, the job is being well done.

[RED]

Here's my list:

1. Pat Buchanan

2-20. Michael Savage

Savage is most entertaining when he goes on a wild rant about the mentally ill (libs), but he does spend too much time blathering about who knows what. I'd rather hear him rip libs for 3 hours. I don't listen to him much because of radio reception and the hour his show is on. Maybe if Bush didn't do so many screwed up things, Savage would have less to rant about. Savage ain't mylktoast.

He has millions of listeners and liberals hate his guts. It seems funny when I hear conservatives knock him. Why? Too outspoken and tough? Because he's critical of Bush? Why not? Bush has let conservatives down ... BIGTIME! Must be some form of PC or centrism. I ain't buyin' it. :thumb:

[DeclinetoState]

I would nominate Fred Phelps (http://www.godhatesfags.com) as an annoying conservative, but considering that he's a lifelong Democrat and a onetime Gore supporter, it's hard to see how's he's anything conservative. (He is against abortion, but then again, there are some liberals that, like a stopped clock, are right once or twice a day.)

[Maggie_T]

I'm not selling it.

I don't mind anyone being critical of Bush. So is Ann Coulter, so is Sean Hannity, so are so many other conservatives. So am I, for that matter.

The problem with Savage is that he has become too full of himself. If you dont' agree with him 100%, you're a moron. He is rude and obnoxious, even to his conservative callers, when they call to disagree.

Nobody is good enough for him. Everybody is an idiot. He makes racial comments about Condi Rice. He is contemptuous of everyone. If it's not the Michael Savage way, it's no way. He knows everything. He has the solution for everything ... but he doesn't have the pair to run for office. Whenever his fans tell him he should run for office, he immediately tucks tail and runs in the opposite direction.

If he had an ounce of the honesty and the courage he boasts of, and if he really loved this country as much as he says he does, he would run. Especially given that he has the solution to every single problem that the morons out there are incapable of solving. But he'd rather hide behind his microphone, where he is safe to blast and insult everyone, and tell us how very clever he is, and how stupid people are for not thinking like him.

In short, he's become like the liberals he purports to hate. THAT is the problem with Savage. That's why I stopped listening to him.

[MrSanity]

Bush doesn't belong on the list, and the comparisan of him to Jimmy Carter is about as far-fetched as it gets.

As for Savage, I only take him seriously about half the time. He's a loose cannon, a hyperventilated one as well. I guess I listen for entertainment value more than anything.

And Pat Buchanan... fine, put him on the list. He's off in his own world, and his Bush-bashing does take its toll after so long. I still enjoy reading his blog on occassion.

And I hate to break it to you, but he's not a "Nazi." Come on, that's something that you come to expect from an ill-informed high schooler in a red diaper.

You mean venemous attacks and condescending insults directed at liberals make you like them? Why would anybody run for office if they can reach more people everyday on a hit radio show? Personally, I can take him or leave him. In fact, I mostly leave him because I can't listen to him without inconvenience. The times I have listened, I've been bored, I've disagreed, and I've laughed out loud in agreement. He says controversial things, and is rude and crude just like you say. Now, it doesn't surprise me he is criticized in conservative circles because he has been criticizing Bush for some time. He was just ahead of the curve. I disagreed with that and found it distasteful myself ... before the election was lost. Savage was right!

[Ant]

1-20: Ted Stevens

[Lubbock]

Ted Stevens?

Senator from Alaska?

What did he do to you, Ant?

RED, please don't pull a Suzie on me. You will note that at the beginning of my post I made it very clear that I do not mind people criticizing Bush. Unfortunately, he let us down many times. That is not the point.

The point is that Savage thinks - and acts - as if he knows everything. He doesn't. I've heard him say some pretty stupid things. It's a pity because if he took his medications, and if he managed to control his ego, he would be very good. He certainly used to be. I even have one of his books.

But he has become a bitter, obnoxious old fart. One of the reasons I stopped listening to him is his constant whining about Bush not wanting to meet with him (gee, I wonder why :rolleyes: ). After that meeting Bush had with Sean, Laura, Mike Gallagher, and other conservative radio talk shows, Savage pulled such a tantrum because he was not invited, it was really mortifying. I wanted to call in and and tell him that for someone with such a low opinion of the president, he sure pulled a hissy fit for not being invited by "that idiot," as he calls Bush.

I also got sick and tired of hearing him complain because people steal his "brilliant" ideas. He goes on and on and on about how it was he who first calle Pelosi 'Bela', etc. etc. And he pretends not to mind, and it's so pathetically obvious that he begs recognition: "I was the first one to come up with Bela Pelosi. Now everybody calls her that. I don't mind, of course ..." Oh, please, man. Have some dignity. :rolleyes:

Yes, like the proverbial broken clock, Savage is right once in a while. Especially when he mentions the obvious. Like saying that liberals are traitors, immoral, cowards, etc.

Now, I also want to make it clear that my criticism of Savage by no means reflects on his listeners. There is this co-worker of mine who loves him. We discuss Savage, but never get into a fight because we have different opinions of him.

So feel free to like Savage, RED. I'm just saying why I don't like him.

Sometimes it's hard to convey one's attitude in a typed message and I want to assure you, I'm 100% on board with what you are saying and I respect your opinion. I'm no staunch supporter of Savage but if I had the opportunity to listen to his show, I would. The discussion was fun. :thumb:

Savage and O'Reilly must share the same DNA.

I can take about ten minutes of O'Reilly once every couple of weeks.

He sided with the telecommunications industry on the "Net Neutrality" dispute. They would have wrecked the Internet as we know it.

I just wonder when John McCain went "right." I wasn't aware of him doing it in the last 20 or so years.


I don't remember the year, but the only thing that earns McCain ANY credit was after capitulating (breaking???) within 3 days, he did refuse to be repatriatied, because of his father's position. IMHO that is the only thing that McCain has ever done that earned him any credit.! His congressional record is that of a RINO excepting his assault on free speech with the assault on the right of Americans to speak freely about the inadequacies of their "representatives." The McCain/Feingold piece of intolerance SHOULD deny Mr. McCain any further relevance as to America's future!

[Riverboat]

The point is that Savage thinks - and acts - as if he knows everything. He doesn't. I've heard him say some pretty stupid things. It's a pity because if he took his medications, and if he managed to control his ego, he would be very good. . . . Yes, like the proverbial broken clock, Savage is right once in a while. Of course, he won't take his medications. In fact, if you give your kid medication that was prescribed by a bona-fide physician after a battery of tests, you are "poisoning" your kid's mind.

As for the proverbial broken clock being right twice a day, I think Savage has a broken military clock, so he's right only ONCE a day.

Yes, O'Reilly is annoying, but not all the time. We could start a whole new thread on this guy. You can complain about him, but all in all, he is a plus rather than a minus, for the conservative movement. No doubt about it. :biggrin:

Ah, there I agree with you 100%. O'Reilly can be dead on the mark ... or extremely annoying.

What drives me nuts about him is when he pretends to be sooooo "fair and balanced" and insists on finding "virtues" in liberals where there are none to be found. And don't even start me on his tut-tutting conservatives for clobbing liberals (like he does with Ann Coulter). I hate it when he does that. :flame: Especially because I noticed that when Mr. High 'n Mighty himself gets angry, he does not mince words.

O'Reilly would be much more digestible if it wasn't because of his "do as I say, not as I do" MO. He is much more bearable in writing. I have his latest book and it's not a bad read.

[Naturalized-Texan]

I can't stand either O'Reilly or Savage.

[DeclinetoState]

Here are two liberal males talking about Ann Coulter:

"You think she's really a man?"

"I dunno. That Adam's apple scares me."

"Me, too. I can't get why conservatives think she's so attractive."

"Well, she's blonde and wears short skirts--"

"But you know what they say about putting lipstick on a pig."

"You are so right. I wouldn't go out with her again if--"

"By the way, about that . . . How was she in the sack?"

"Not bad. . . How was she for you?"

"A nice change of pace--"

(The above is a fantasy about liberals fantasizing.)

[Longhorn_Platinum]

:unsmile: Katherine Harris shouldn't be on the list. It's not her fault that Florida Republicans didn't support their nominee. I fault Jeb Bush for possibly costing the Republicans a seat in the senate. Come to think of it, he's the one who should be on the list in Harris's place.

[DesertFox]

Well, I agree that Harris shouldn't be on the list, but I don't think Jeb should, either.

Really! You nailed it! I hate it too when he tries to equate the likes of Ann Coulter, or any other outspoken conservative with always hysterical subversives. He terms himself an independent and proves it by being wishy-washy. You'd think that someone who wrote a book like "Culture Warrior", would know that there is no virtue in liberals. This guy knows who the domestic enemies of America are, but thinks he can reason with them and fix it. :rolleyes: He seems to have a compulsion to be fair with these people who have no core values, and his reward is to be ripped apart in the liberal media and the internet. Just like any other pundit who espouses conservative views, the left hate's O'Reilly and is only interested in silencing them. How can you repeatedly try to reach out to these subversives and give brindead leftists, 'the last word'?

[Maggie_T]

Exactly. But the worst part is that it's all "for export." Did you ever catch O'Reilly "off guard"? Man, he goes off his rocker just like you and me, baby. :)

He wears this veneer of I-am-so-tolerant gentility, but when liberals get to him, he reacts very much like those he tut-tuts from his ivory tower. It's hilarious! :evilgrin:
