My favorite Right Wing Lunatic..is..
Edited on Thu May-28-09 06:50 PM by Stuart G
Bill Kristol.

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




Why? He was the driving force in selecting Sara Palin. A choice so disgusting to the the huge majority of people in the U.S.A. that it alone insured the election of Barack Obama.


"Kristol was among the most prominent conservative commentators to support John McCain's choice of Sarah Palin as his running mate in the 2008 U.S. Presidential Election. According to writer Scott Horton, he also played a part in her selection, by "arguing that she was young, popular, vigorous, unknown and had the right connections to the Religious Right bloc which had proven so important to Republican wins in 2000 and 2004." The Weekly Standard, which according to Horton served as "Palin’s chief defender" against attacks, hosted a cruise in June 2007, where Standard editors Kristol and Fred Barnes first lunched with Governor Sarah Palin."


Got a favorite one to hate? List him here and why..

1. It's so hard to pick just one from such a selection.

Report: Rick Davis picked Palin as McCain's Veep
@ 4:31 pm by Jeremy P. Jacobs


Rick Davis, a D.C. lobbyist and consultant on John McCain (R-Ariz.) presidential campaign, convinced the Republican nominee to pick Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) as his running mate, John McCaslin reports.

Citing a "source close to Mr. McCain," McCaslin writes that Davis was totally smitten by Palin.

"It was all his doing. He was completely snowed by Palin," the source told McCaslin. "He was totally taken by her."

McCain, McCaslin writes, wanted Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.).

3. Well... Rick Davis another answer,,
no problem with a correction. I do recall that Mc Cain wanted Liberman, but was warned of a disasterous floor fight. Perhaps Kristol informed Mc Cain of that upcoming fight.

4. Patrick Buchanan
That man spouts such insanity and utter garbage ... his delivery, surficially, is calm, controlled and at first "glance" sane.

5. I'll second that.
I don't think he is dangerous anymore. In the nineties he did have a populist message that had some democrats listening and didn't let his bigotry show as much as now.
