[SonnyBubba]

Where are liberals on that list?

[Frenchtown Dan]

Insane socialists, like our president.
Scares the hell out of me.

[Psalm 73]

Nancy Pelosi. In a nightgown.

[Americanwolf]

#1 slithering snakes fits them well

[Responsibility2nd]

No. 9

No. 2

No. 1

They’re there.

[FatherofFive]

Barney Frank

[qam1]

I always heard public speaking is #1

[Billthedrill]

J’accuse!

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Is there one for a fear of Marxism? What about Mao?

[Hoosier Catholic Momma]

Obamacare.

[JoeProBono]

[bigheadfred]

Liberals

Pic 5--Barry and Michelle...

[qam1]

Calling liberals dogs is an insult to DOGS,

Wellllllllllll actually now that I think of it, calling Liberals spiders and snakes is also an insult to spiders and snakes,

[Tzimisce]

Well we should raise taxes and legalize gay marriage.

That’ll help end these fears. :D

[Squidpup]

Giant creepy crawlies!

[Califreak]

Pelosi.

Sans nightgown.

[andy58-in-nh]

Barney Frank in a nightgown would be worse.

[CholeraJoe]

I am deathly afraid of being gang-raped by supermodels. I need some desensitization therapy to get over it.

[Knitebane]

What, no clowns?

And no zombies?

What kind of a silly list is this?

[OldPossum]

Aren’t a lot irrationally afraid of guns?

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

liberalism

[the_devils_advocate_666]

#5 - Would you "hike" this trail ?

[GonzoGOP]

Clowns give me the creeps, but its all just my imagination. Zombies, on the other hand, are a real problem here in Chicago, since on Halloween the dead walk the Earth and on the following Tuesday they vote.

[theDentist]

Can you imagine how much their fear will exponentially mount when they find out I barely attended classes, and had to pay off the Dean for my “Diploma” on teh wall?

I'm sending them right over to pay you a visit:

[SonOfDarkSkies]

[LearsFool]

Confirmed Marxophobe.

[allmendream]

Fear of public speaking didn't make the list.

As far as the validity of the list, there really isn't much on that list to be frightened OF - other than “other people”. The rest are actual phobias,or irrational fears. Fear of other people is quite rational as they are the ones who like to rape rob and murder.

I can't believe this creature hasn't been posted yet:

The Dentist (1996)

Honestly, one of the most anti-dentist movies ever.

[Arrowhead1952]

"You left me off the list."

[alarm rider]

Mimes. Where are mimes on the list. I hate mimes.

[Arrowhead1952]

See two replies below. I had more html to play with.

[Knitebane]

Zombies are a real problem.

But they inspire real solutions.

[JoeProBono]

John Wayne Gacy

[Psalm 73]

"Pelosi.
Sans nightgown."

Oh, my gosh - I cannot even comprehend - what in the world would make you think of something like that?
Is there no end to the depths of your vile imagination?

[GonzoGOP]

That was taken only a few miles from where I lived at the time. And now you know where I get my fear of clowns from.

[Scythian]

Clowns ...

[Knitebane]

[equalitybeforethelaw]

Try thinking of Barnie Frank in a pair of Speedo’s. That will fix the picture of naked nancy.

[subterfuge]

“Government” should be on the list.

[Revolting cat!]

"Hell is other people." -- Jean Paul Sartre.

[Revolting cat!]

[latina4dubya]

my big fear made it on the list: being in the dark... it’s actually more specific... being alone in the dark...

[Revolting cat!]

The Madame puppet came to life, just like in Pinnochio!
