Top Ten Most Dangerous People 11-11 to 11-17
Patriot Paradox ^

Posted on 11/19/2003 10:17:03 AM PST by sonsofliberty2000

10T. Yassir Arafat 8 points

Blindedbytruth

for again dominating his electorate in Palestine and placing a stronghold on his cabinet and the Parliament of Palestine by electing his own hand-picked officials, "When will the tyranny of yet another terrorist dictator end?"

10T. Mainstream Press 8 points

hilaryrhymeswithrich

for failing to widely cover the above mentioned memo. Nice and onesided. AGAIN for managing to almost completely ignore recent intellegence memos linking Saddam and Bin Laden definitively.

10T. Wade Henderson of the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights 8 points

Cathryn Crawford

for attacking Zell Miller, who was defending African-American judicial nominees

CNN

10T. George Soros 8 points

TaxRelief

International billionaire, whose obsessive hatred of President Bush is waking him in the middle of the night. He is willing to do everything within his power to buy the presidential election for the liberals in our country. So far, he has infused $5 million into Moveon.org's campaign to place a commie in the white house, and $10 million to the leftist group, America Coming Together who are focussing their Bush-removing campaign on seventeen key states. "When I hear Bush say, `You're either with us or against us,' it reminds me of the Germans," he said in Tuesday's interview. "My experiences under Nazi and Soviet rule have sensitized me." On the plus side, let's thank Mr. Soros for being willing to create jobs and infuse money into strengthening his nemesis' economy.

10T. Charlie Rangel 8 points

Scenic Sounds

This Congressman and 25 of his colleagues introduced a resolution calling upon the President to get rid of Rumsfeld.

Free Republic

9T.Walmart 9 points

Scenic Sounds

For using a microchip to track its own customers!!!

World Net Daily

Cathryn Crawford

for using microchips to track its customers

Free Republic

9T. America Coming Together (ACT) 9 points

TaxRelief

a newly-formed, thinly-disguised soft money wing of the Democratic National Committee. Their "sugar daddy", George Soros, has given them a $10 million christening gift and will undoubtedly continue to send more to their coffers as needed. By my calculation, 10 million dollars puts approximately 800 paid, full time mercenaries on the streets of their seventeen target states, from January until November. Of course, that number of activists doesn't include the ideologues and volunteers who get sucked into working side-by-side with paid activists

CNS News

9T. Micheal Moore 9 points

Lucky2

For his speech in Germany, boarder line treason

9T. 26 House Democrats 9 points

Cathryn Crawford

have introduced a resolution to urge Bush to fire Rumsfeld

Free Republic

9T. Attorney General of Alabama, Bill Pryor 9 points

Blindedbytruth

for siding with the Alabama Supreme Court's decision on Justice Moore "What a complete RINO Mr. Pryor is?" "He Doesn't deserve to be elected to our Supreme Court!"

8T. Stop the War Coalition of the United Kingdom 10 points

TaxRelief

regularly organizes HUGE antiwar marches on London and other cities. God bless President Bush during his UK trip. The SWC ships in students from all over and is doing so, this week, to "welcome" President Bush to London. How dangerous is this group? They claim they are pacificists but take a look at their steering committee roster:

Mohammed Aslam Aijaz (London Council of Mosques), Sait Akgul (Federation of Kurdish Community Organisations in the UK), Tariq Ali (Broadcaster and Writer), Lois Austin (Socialist Party), Roger Bannister (UNISON NEC * and Socialist Party), Jim Brann (London Region CND Exec *), Andrew Burgin (Housmans Peace Bookshop), Graham Cee (Labour Left Briefing), Louise Christian (Lawyer), Jeremy Corbyn MP, Tekin Kartal Daymer (The Turkish / Kurdish community Centre), Laura Dubinsky (Fundraiser), George Galloway MP, Lindsey German (Editor, Socialist Review), Suresh Grover (National Civil Rights Movement), Stephanie Harrison (Campaign Against Criminalizing Communities), John Haylett (Editor, Morning Star), Mark Hoskisson (Workers Power), Soraya Lawrence (Lawyers Against the War), Fred Leplat (Branch Officer Islington Unison), Mike Marqusee (Media Workers Against the War), Andrew Murray (Communications Officer: ASLEF *), Chris Nineham (Globalise Resistance), John Rees (Socialist Workers Party), Bernard Regan (NUT Executive *), Asad Rehman (Newham Monitoring Group), Ratin Roy (SOAS: School of Oriental and African Studies), Carlos Rule (Socialist Labour Party), Tanja Salem Al-Awda (Campaign for Palestinian Rights), Helen Salmon (National Executive NUS *), Jane Shallice, Christine Shawcroft (Labour Against the War), Dr. Ghayasuddin Siddiqui (Muslim Parliament), Rae Street (Peace activist), Shahedah Vawda (Just Peace), Hilary Wainwright (Editor, Red Pepper), Wolf Wayne (Green Socialist Network and Socialist Alliance) The Stop the War Coalition links page should come as no surprise to anyone.

8T. Senate Democrats 10 points

ScenicSounds

They continue to let the President appoint who he wants to the Circuit Courts of Appeal!

Seattle Post Intelligencer

8T. Jay Rockafeller 10 points

hilaryrhymeswithrich

for being dumb enough to put on paper what we know liberals are really doing instead of protecting our best interests, and then not having the balls to stand by it

7. Charles Shumer 13 points

Born Conservative

for refusing an up and down vote on the judicial nominees because they are “out of the mainstream”. He was elected to represent his constituents, not the whole country. What right does he have to decide what is mainstream and what is not?

Free Republic

TaxRelief

the well-trained Senator from NY, who has taken a bowlful of his own slime and stirred in several cups of "ClintonAgenda" to brew up a particularly strong batch of anti-conservatism. As the head of the minority which is opposing the floor votes of certain judicial nominees, he leads the charge against by repeatedly lying about the number of judicial nominees that are being unfairly treated versus the number of Clinton nominees that were rejected. Charles Schumer will stop at nothing to ensure that no prolife Judge ever sits on the bench again.

Times Star

6. Tom Daschle 14 points

Born Conservative

for leading the Senate Democrats in their obtructionist filibuster of Bush’s judicial nominees. No one is asking that they support these nominees; rather, just that they allow a vote on them

Lucky2

Shamelessly backing up Teddy the Swimmer's comments about the judicial nominees

Free Republic

5. Hillary Clinton 15 points

Tax Relief

Senator from New York and Godmother of the Liberal Mafiosa. This week she moderated a Democratic debate in Iowa, taking every opportunity she could get to stick in her two cents worth. She couldn't resist multiple jabs at President Bush, and she fired up the six puppets (eg. presidential candidates) in attendance to continue with their own echoing attacks. I suspect this obsession with hatred of the current presidency will back fire on each of them; after all, many Democrats voted for and still support President Bush.

GOP USA

Lucky2

Once again she came out against our President, this time in Walter Reed Army Hospital. I still wonder if this was true but she should now be jailed for treason for her back stabbing viciousness.

Scenic Sounds

This Senator and ex-first lady went all the way to Iowa to insult the American people on CSPAN.

Iowa Channel

4. Disney/Miramax 16 points

Born Conservative

"for their in-the-gutter film about Santa. Is nothing sacred? In addition to the religious aspect of Christmas, the secular aspect involves children believing in Santa Claus. To many, this is one of the best parts of childhood, and Disney/Miramax has chosen to cheapen this to a new low level. And Disney is supposed to be synonymous with families?" Free Republic

Scenic Sounds

This member of the Disney family is preparing a show called “Bad Santa” which will portray Santa Claus as a moral slimeball!

Drudge Report

3. The Alabama Court of the Judiciary 17 points

Cathryn Crawford

for removing Chief Justice Roy Moore from office this week.

ajc.com

BlindedbyTruth

for terminating Judge Roy Moore from his seat as Chief Justice for placing a monument to the 10 Commandments in the Alabama Supreme Court building, "What a bunch of immoral communists!!" "Justice Moore should run for Senator and place his monument at the halls of the Capitol building to show our country the truth!"

2. Anti- war protestors in Britian 19 points

hilaryrhymeswithrich

who hope to show up our fine President with their silly polls about his intellect and plans for an anti-war rally while bolstering the confidence of those who plot to do us harm

Cathryn Crawford

that are a major security threat to Bush

CNN

and number one

Ted Kennedy 29 points

Born Conservative

“champion” of the unfortunate and the elderly, Diver Ted is now fighting the prescription drug bill. I am against the government instituting this entitlement, but Ted and his fellow lefties have been harping on the need for this, and now he’s against it

Lucky2

Calling the judicial nominees Neanderthals

Free Republic

Cathryn Crawford

for calling Pres. Bush's judicial nominees Neanderthals

NewsMax

Scenic Sounds

This Senator likened some of the President’s judicial appointments to Neanderthals

TaxRelief

seminar Senator from Massachusetts, who casually dismissed 4 very qualified, judicial nominees, with a flip of his tongue. "What has not ended is the resolution and the determination of the members of the United States Senate to continue to resist any Neanderthal that is nominated by this president of the United States for any [...] federal court in the United States.", he said. What?? Now the nominees are Neanderthals? His white, good-ole-boy mentality is really rearing its ugly head, now

News Max

Others Receiving Votes:

"All so-called conservatives" 7 points

TaxRelief

who oppose free trade and post a consistent string of threads dedicated to downplaying the current economic recovery that is now clearly underway. They claim they are conservative; in one breath blaming over-regulation and unions for the the offshore flow of manufacturing jobs, but in the next breath demanding import controls and other artificial tinkering with Adam Smith's "invisible hand". The "regulated imports crowd" may soon find themselves walking hand-in-hand with AFL-CIO members and with illegal, migrant, farm workers, who are actively mobilizing. It is interesting that the international communist movement has finally gotten a foot in the door of conservatism. According to an NBC News Poll, this most recent cause, import controls, is garnering support from 54% of the population in Florida.

Mayor Jane Campbell of Cleveland 7 points

Blindedbytruth

for two reasons, 1st- for using the death of a young murder victim Shaquira Johnson for her own means of propaganda to gain support in a very poor section of Cleveland and to gain face in our area 2nd For letting go of hundreds of city workers, because our city is under budget, yet the fact that Cleveland is practically bankrupt, her and her husband are living high off the hog, "Another ultra-liberal mayor abusing the power of office for her own sick agenda"

Ambercrombie and Fitch 6 points

Blindedbytruth

for their very provocative ads for their winter catalogues, these ads show no articles of clothing on the models, yet they are advertising a clothing line "If we wanted pornography, we'd buy Playboy, if we wanted cheap crap, we'd buy Hustler, if we wanted classy models modeling clothing, we'd check out Victoria Secrets ads which at least show the models in the clothes being advertised, the ads in A&F shows porn to young children and teens who read these will be definitely desensitized by this utter garbage!" Jennefer Anniston and Brad Pitt 6 points hilaryrhymeswithrich for belittling the real story in the Middle East by pretending to be diplomats

Judge Baird, 2nd DCA, Florida 6 points

TaxRelief

Who disrespectfully ordered the governor of Florida, Jeb Bush, to present his arguments at the end of one weekend in defense of "Terri's Law". Fortunately, Governor Bush had greater success with a higher authority and had his stay extended indefinitely. It galls me that convicted killers on death row have years to appeal their death sentences, but Terri Schiavo's family has had only two years to try to fight a system and the recently enacted laws that favor ending putting very ill people "to sleep", painfully if necessary, before all other considerations. (BTW. There is a common misconception about the use of the term "euthanasia". Euthanasia is the act of causing a painless death. Starvation and dehydration is not painless.)

Mary Landreux 6 point

Lucky2

She's another who had a hysterical breakdown last week during the 39 hour marathon. You'd think these RATs had never worked over time!

TaxRelief

the barely senator from Louisiana and wife of Frank Snelling, whose out of control rhetoric and absolute lack of senatorial decorum seems to somehow appeal to a bare majority in Louisiana. As further evidence that this hissing-cat, shrewish feminazi style works, we need only observe that one of her sister politicians has joined the matriarchal ruling ranks in the form of Governor of Louisiana. GOPUSA Did anyone see Hillary beaming with pride at the back of the room during Mrs. Snellings temper tantrum?

CBS 5 points

Blindedbytruth

for showing the Victoria's Secret lingerie show "This is a disgusting display of soft porno on network television during the family hour on a week night, how disgusting!"

Barbara Boxer, D-Cal 5 points

Cathryn Crawford

for attacking Senate Republicans for their 40 hour talkathon

CNN

for attacking Rudy Guliani with no real base for his attacks

Newsmax

Scotland 4 points

Scenic Sounds

For allowing its scientists to develop very intrusive technology to be used in the War on Terror. .

Scotland Sunday

ABC 4 points

Blindedbytruth

for showing a special on Britney Spears "More garbage from the paragon of white trash, Ms. Britney Spears, if we wanted to see a stripper perform,we would go to the nearest strip joint and pay the money to go inside and peel off $10 bills for the first available stripper out there, not some high-priced slut like her"

International Olympic Committee 3 points

Blindedbytruth

for now allowing transsexuals to compete in the Olympic Games "This is a complete and utter shock to me, I have enjoyed the Olympic Games since I was a small child and now they want to slander the good name of this event by allowing sinful creatures like these, I'm so ashamed for them!"

Queen Elizabeth 3 points

Scenic Sounds

This pretender to the throne of England, Scotland and Wales “rejected a request from President George W. Bush's security advisers to bolster Buckingham Palace's structural defences against a terrorist attack during his state visit to Britain this week.

Telegraph

Senator Orin Hatch 2 points

Blindedbytruth

for proposing a bill to have hate crime legislation for transsexuals and transvestites "What now? More rights for those who don't even deserve to be acknowledged, I am appalled if this gets into legislation!"

Red Cross stores in Britian 2 points

Cathryn Crawford

for not allowing their stores to have any religious themes, despite their religious heritige - in the name of political correctness.

Fox News

The “Biker Bar” 2 points

Scenic Sounds

This so-called political forum spent still another week last week gratuitously and maliciously trying to create divisiveness amongst real conservatives.

Biker Bar

Barbara Boxer 2 points

Lucky2

For her tirade on the Senate Floor during the 39 hour marathon. She's need her menopause medicine.

Richard Gephardt 1 point

Blindedbytruth

for utilizing President G.W Bush's appearance in a flight suit to the U.S.S Abraham Lincoln in a negative advertising campaign against the President in his own presidential campaign by slandering Mr. Bush in his presidential campaign ad "Dick, how low can you go? You're such a loser baby, I wish we could slam you!"

Here is the latest Top Ten Most Dangerous People List. If in the past week you have asked to join the panel, but I did not send you a FReepmail forgive me. It was a horrific week for multiple reasons and I will do so if you want on the panel. Same thing if you want on or off the list. I need to catch up my emails and will fix all errors very shortly.

This Top Ten List Idea is Cool. Here's my version.

10) The Multistate Tax Commission - Even the name sounds evil. 1st Amendment? We don't need no stinkin' 1st Amendment. We'll tax the internet until the USPS is a cheap method of message conveyance.

When Sen. Ron Wyden (D - Love Ananda Granola Commune) is ragging your butt for OVERTAXATION of the American people, 'yea, verily thou doth suck!'

Here's a link in case my humble efforts fail to convey the true idiocy of the MTC...

http://www.nationalreview.com/nrof_comment/katz200311180903.asp

9) Kofi Anon, Lead Brigand, UN - Kofi believes the US should fork over a big pile of loot so that 3rd world pedophiles can take advantage of the world wide web, just like US and European ones. It's not fair, you see, if the hyper-powers have all the high tech gadgetry.

Link? I don't need no stinkin' link. We all know Kofi is a confiscatory, hornswaggling waghalter.

8) Ted 'The Cromagnon' Kennedy - ORCA of The Bay State has demonstrated a major case of racial prejudice. He has failed to accept the fact that neaderthals are people too. At least they were until GWB attempted to appoint enough of them to the Federal Judiciary to offset prior slights and past racial indignities.

I believe Senator Kennedy's intemperate remarks could have a disparate impact on the asperations of all neanderthals. This could have a chilling effect. Chilling effects are bad when you live in a cave and wear deerskin jerkins intead of Armani.

7) The AARP - When the AARP enthusiastically endorses legislation, it's time to make like the pre 30 Jane Fondle and not trust anybody over 30. Nevermind the pyschological ramifications of that fact that I, myself, am over 30.

The Perscription Drug Panderation Act is pathetic. A bunch of whiney, old fudge-farts were promised a drug-free America and they want their free drugs now. A panderation this big could span the circumference of Michael Moore's waistline and not even strain too tightly against the last belt loop.

The Prescription Drug Panderation Act must die. The members of AARP should get Icy Hot rubbed in their depend undergarments for spending $35 million to foist this travesty on the younger generations. Gosh, why are young people these days so ungrateful?

6) Michael Moore - Ted Kennedy isn't the only person who gets to pick on neanderthals. I want in on the act as well. When I think unwashed, slovenly, troglodytes, my mind asks the following cosmic question: "Dude, where's Michael Moore?"

Moore has the personal charisma of a phlegm ball. He is a traitor. He has done everything short of endorsing Mullah Omar for President. He behaves like a fully-owned subsidairy of AL-Quaeda. His virulent, anti-American propaganda makes the hiring of a War On Terror Lord Haw-Haw to represent the intrests of militant Islam, an unnecessary redundancy.

5)Howard Nikita Vladamir Taxyernutzoff Dean - Picking on fatties and troglodytes would make me such a mean-spirited right wingnut. To remedy this perilous lack of balance, I'm now taking some whacks at America's personification of The Napoleon Complex.

Like old one-nut Adolf, Dean displays a rather unvirile meterosexuality, merged with a penchant for aggressively minding the affairs of others. His latest proposals to get the trains running on time again involve re-regulating vast swaths of the domestic economy. This Coceascou-Channeling Green Mountain Nut-Job must be derailed.

In case your browser doesn't censor offensive content at work, here's link that describe his latest policy ideas.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A59183-2003Nov18?language=printer

4) Michael Jackson - Just in case The Perscription Drug Panderation Act didn't frighten younger Americans badly enough, it's baaaacccckkk! Michael, at least, can be arrested and detained. Maybe I err in making him more dangerous than the American Association for Retarded Policy.

3) John McCain and Russ Feingold - Congratulations Senators! You've reformed campaign finance the way Enron revolutionalized energy trading.

George Soros can buy an entire party wholesale rather than just shopping one senator at a time. This is an essential feature for the busy scumbag currency arbitrager who can't be bothered with retail politics. It's like shopping at Sam's Club rather than Walmart.

Campaign donors are no longer Johns. They've now been elevated to the role of pimp. America is all about upward mobility. Nice work, gentlemen.

2) George 'Gordon Gekko' Soros - Oliver Stone invented Gekko to lay waste to hard working Americans because he probably hadn't had the august pleasure of shaking the slimy tentacle of George Soros. Soros made his fortune by shorting The Thai Bhat during their currency collapse. If I were a dyed-in-the-militia fatigue, tin-foil-hat wearing soldier of the VRWC, I'd accuse him of shorting airline companies and travel agencies on 10 September 2001. He's enough of a sleaze to act on that type of info.

So now he's out to parley that fortune into control of America's political system. Thanks to McPain and FindGold, he's able to buy his democracy by the barrel. Its a sad day when a single individual can even contemplate pulling a LBO job on entire political party, but that's what Soros has accomplished.

1) Hillary Clinton - Without the Duchess of New York to unify them, the Dems are a cat heard in the throes of a violent thunderstorm. How else does one explain their roster of Presidential candidates?

However, Hillary is their ring of power. She can make them all behave and work as a team to plunder hard-working Americans. She has a sort of evil charisma that will make even the most vegged-out eco-freak stop and listen to her words of deceit and division.

Absent Hillary Clinton, George Soros might as well be buying Okeefanokee Swamp Condos when he purchases the so-called Democratic Party. With Hillary to raise the money and break a few heads, the Dems maintain a national presence and are never too far from the levers of power. She is Sauron to her Blue State Middle Earth.

Are George and the Clintons buddies?????

Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! ROFLOL--I'd say so! Here's an example:



Soros: Patriotism Ends at the Stock Market

Wes Vernon
Tuesday, Sept. 25, 2001

WASHINGTON – A major uproar may be coming in the halls of Congress over top-dollar investors who are betting against the economy and helping to push the market down.

One such investor is noted financier George Soros, a major backer of Bill and Hillary Clinton

This financial attack by short-sellers like Soros is going on even as small investors are sinking their meager cash reserves into the American economy to help their country in time of war.

Well-placed sources tell NewsMax.com that regulators are aware of this, but so far have merely tried to apply pressure through back channels.

Amidst the patriotic fervor encouraging Americans to "invest in America" so as not to let the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks wreck the economy, there are those who not only are not participating, but also are actually working against it.

Hedge-fund managers have been making bets against transportation, hotel and auto stocks. Hedge funds manage billions and can get extremely high leverage in the futures markets.

A relatively little-noticed article in one of the inside sections of the Sept. 20 Wall Street Journal reported widely circulated rumors that "U.S. regulators urged large hedge funds to temper the size of their bearish bets on Monday."

Those regulators, presumably with the Securities and Exchange Commission, get their operating budgets from Congress. Members of the Senate Banking and House Financial Services committees have aides who scour newspapers for precisely this kind of information. Many who know what's going on hope these influential lawmakers will soon speak out.

An insider in the financial services industry tells NewsMax.com, "We had calls from small people trying to invest $100 to $500. The people were attempting to be patriotic and wanted to invest in America. I find it absolutely sickening and heartbreaking that billionaires investing money for extremely wealthy people are helping to push the markets lower."

The hedge funds, he explained, can "amplify the effect [of] using leverage." This bet against America has nothing to do with "orderly markets or the invisible hand of capitalism," he adds.

While Joe and Jane Six-Pack were calling in to place their faith in America, well-known hedge-fund manager George Soros was telling a group of business leaders in Hong-Kong, "I don’t think you can run markets on patriotic principles."

On issues from the death penalty to environmentalism to drug laws to gun control, Soros is notorious for using a large part of his considerable fortune to propagandize left-wing positions.

The Journal article singles out hedge-fund managers Soros and Leon Cooperman. The latter is quoted as saying, "I'm very patriotic. I have a flag in front of my home. I cried a lot over the weekend. But I owe it to my investors to do what is rational."

So they're sending a message that investing in America is not "rational"? To some inside the industry, it smacks of hypocrisy to tell small investors to put up their money while the elites are working against them.

"The crushing of the markets will cost more jobs, make more people depressed and frightened, and will hurt America," an industry source observed to NewsMax. He called it the equivalent of "a second attack being done by 'Americans' against Americans."

Several insiders are alarmed that the SEC and the Treasury Department have not worked to curb the hedge funds or reduce the leverage they are able to generate.

That may change. Joe and Jane Six-Pack are willing to carry their share of the load until they sense they're being played for suckers. If they vent some outrage to their elected lawmakers on Capitol Hill and regulators at the SEC, those who seek to make a killing from America's misfortune may be in for a surprise.

Murder Inc., I like your suggestions, but there are rules we have to follow when we play the "10 most dangerous" game.

We have to have a current link from the stated time period. In other words they had to behave badly that week. I'll admit that I always start by looking for the sins of my favorite bad guys, and then trying to pin them down with a specific sin in the appointed time period.

Sometimes there are more then 10 eligible, so I put some of them off for a week. AARP, for instance, is already on my list for this week, because there are so many great links and the reactions from the Dems are still rolling in. What fun!

Would you like to be on the panel next week? Just send SonsofLiberty2000 a note!

Nice job! btw, the mention of Charlie Rangell in the list calls to mind an interesting comment someone made to Congressman Bob Barr last night at the Robinson for Congress fundraiser. The supporter said "I have to support Vernon because he will make an interesting addition to the Black Congressional Caucus." Talk about understatement!

That Orin Hatch thing--what did he do? Do you have a link? I need to give him a piece of my mind (after I get the details).
