Wow, a list created by a politically right winged author. Pat Robertson, founder of Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN), wow no wonder... http://www.answers.com/Pat%20Robertson

[GepperRankins]

how did this guy graduate?

[muchspl3]

Matthew Lesko
Ludacris
he has to right

[muchspl3]

at least he was fair :rolleyes:

[Busyman]

Wow 100 people screwing up America and in that list barely anyone that actually RUNS THE COUNTRY....you know, people with real decision making power.

No mention of Karl Rove (or Bush) who are probably responsible for leaking the classified identity of a CIA agent. Rove reminds me of the gay fella from the movie No Way Out.

The AntiChrist is coming folks and I bet it will be elected by the Christian right.

What irony. :happy:

[Busyman]

Matthew Lesko
Ludacris

Lesko? Is he the fella that sells the books about getting free shit from the government? You must excuse my nongoogling.

[GepperRankins]

by the sounds of it, yes


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_Lesko

[3RA1N1AC]

yeah Lesko is the guy in the Riddler suit who screams in his commercials about tapping into gov't handouts.

also interesting that the list includes a number of famous preachers (jesse jackson, al sharpton, jimmy swaggart) yet conveniently omits pat robertson. :P

[Afronaut]

God Bless America (http://www.godhatesamerica.com/).


1. Bush out of office.
2. Pat Robertson for President.
3. ?
4. Profits.

[GepperRankins]

it's kinda scary how some people think bush isn't right-wing enough :fear:

[bigboab]

Screwing America and no Bill Clinton.:lol:

[3RA1N1AC]

101. Hulk Hogan
102. Batman
103. Po
104. Dipsy
105. Laa Laa
106. Tinky Winky
107. Billy Bush
108. Mary Kate
109. Ashley
110. Janet Jackson's Nipple


anyway. the author of that list seems to live in a fantasy world that's ruled by the iron fist of pop singers, Z-list celebrities, and the Democratic Party.

[Skiz]

Awesome list. :D

However, I was sad to see that Ben Affleck was not listed. :( :dry:

If you need me, look to the "right" side of the forum. :shifty: :snooty:

I'll have to have a wee word with you when I have a spare minute. You included the Teletubbies but exclude the likes of Pingu.:ph34r:

Harry Belafonte? :ohmy:

[{I}{K}{E}]

[vidcc]

BTW-Bernard Goldberg is not a right-winger.


compared to.................. :unsure: :lol:

[Guillaume]

Harry Belafonte? :ohmy:


"I work for the United Nations. I go to places where enormous upheaval and pain and anguish exist. And a lot of it exists based upon American policy. Whom we support, whom we support as heads of state, what countries we've helped to overthrow, what leaders we've helped to diminish because they did not fit the mold we think they should fit, no matter how ill advised that thought may be." - Harry Belafonte interview on CNN Larry King Live, October 15, 2002

This or he uses his congas to send morse-code messages to terrorists.. :unsure:

[Biggles]

Highly deadly black tarantula

Daylight come and I want to go home.

Dayo!

:lol:

Blimey! if every working class musician who expressed left wing sentiments were to be considered a danger to the country in the UK we would have a list half a mile long. :ohmy:

I thought Harry was dead.

down de way where de nights are gay
and de sun shines daily on de mountain top
I took a trip and on a sailing ship
and when I reached Jamaica I made a stop.


pass me a rum man.:lol:

[Busyman]

One thing that jumps out at me is that most on the list (and all of the top five) are typically possessed of a need to use extreme rhetoric.

That would be one of the main reasons I would include them on any list of my own.

BTW-Bernard Goldberg is not a right-winger.
Ok call him conservative then. I like him as a reporter 'cause he seemed very logical. His book however is not, at least, not on the surface. It's logical in that it will sell books. That is all. Ffs he calls Courtney Love a ho....and that's fucking it....just "Ho!" :ermm:

He basically says that these folks are screwing up America but that's only 'cause they are pissed at where America is going (this doesn't apply to all of them though).

I doubt I'll bother with this sensationalist book. :dry:

[sArA]

I'll have to have a wee word with you when I have a spare minute. You included the Teletubbies but exclude the likes of Pingu.:ph34r:

How could you say such a thing as that? Pingu rawks in any language...:clap:

Now....Andy Pandy....that's a completely different matter.... :devil:

[Snee]

Harry Belafonte? :ohmy:
Tallied too many bananas?


He was teh roka.

[MagicNakor]

I will have to agree with Ludacris.

His popularity has young people using his moniker as a substitute for the spelling of "ludicrous," which is pleasingly ironic, but also depressing.

:shuriken:

[Formula1]

Lol, Bill O'reiley doesnt like Ludacris.

i'd read it for a laugh.


it might kinda terrify me a bit though

[3RA1N1AC]

I will have to agree with Ludacris.
Ludacris belongs on no such list. in fact he should be congratulated for bringing a sense of verbal wit and old fashioned FUN to rap music. a lot of rock and rap takes itself way too seriously, to the point of being pretentious.

Bill O'Reilly came off like a clueless, bitter old fart when he called for a boycott of that ad campaign. had he ever listened to a Ludacris song prior to that? Ludacris' music is not about all of the stuff that makes suburban America uncomfortable (gangs, anti-police/anti-govt sentiment, etc). rather it's mostly good-humored stuff about partying, fancy cars, voluptuous ladies, and an idyllic southern lifestyle. and its portrayals of violence are about as authentic as a Wile E. Coyote & Roadrunner cartoon. Ludacris is no more harmful to America than the Beach Boys were.

[lynx]

no more harmful to America than the Beach Boys were.Don't get me started. :angry: :huh:

[MagicNakor]

While I didn't think it needed explaining......

Kids who think the word "ludicrous" is spelt "ludacris" is what I was referring to 3RA1N1AC. Yes, I've seen it. ;) It makes me weep.

:shuriken:

[3RA1N1AC]

HMM. yes i got that part. the other part? more of a grammatical curveball i guess.

anyway i wasn't commenting on your comment so much as commenting on Ludacris' inclusion on the list in the first place. dude is funny.

[Peerzy]

Im pretty sure the whole population of American's is screwing up America :lol:

Did anyone actually read the book?

[j2k4]

I'll read it after I finish his latest, Arrogance.

I'm guessing I already know what it says. ;)

[twisterX]

i know. He should be on that list.

[j2k4]

i know. He should be on that list.

As author of said list, he has the right to omit self-reference.
