Yearbook names Bush & Cheney among 5 all time worst people

[CowboyBob]

Okay, I had to do it.

An oversight in an Russellville, Arkansas middle school listed George W Bush and Dick Cheney among the top 5 worst people of all time. The list is:

1. Adolph Hitler
2. Osama bin Laden
3. Charles Manson
4. George W Bush
5. Dick Cheney

Okay, I don't think they're that bad, but I sure found it funny.

Charlie Manson grew up about two miles from my house.............................. about 20 years earlier too but i have always though it odd to have such an oddball from Cincinnati Ohio

Of course we gave ya Jerry Springer too so there ya go.


That is kinda amusing although I imagine that list is apt for many people in this graduating class. The machine for the last 4 years of his Presidency was the worst i have ever seen during the time when kids become aware of the real world. I have met many youngsters in my current line who believe Bush was evil but can not articulate why. You know the same reason stuff is popular...the people cool enough to be on tv say so.

As far as the political machine running over the Bush Presidency. It is easy to tell by the lack of the same machine rolling while Obama does many of the same things. It will get dramatically more difficult in the next four for Obama is my speculation. No more silly Trump topics but hard core gouging and fomenting anger across the nation.

Hmmm...... you grew up near Charles Manson and Jerry Springer?!

That explains a lot.





(okay, before you start with your hissy fit I hope you realize I'm joshin' you )

You didnt hafta say the disclaimer... although i am good for flying off the handle around here occasionally.

And if it is any teeny tiny bit of an out...well i left when i was able and didnt really look back till the family needed me. The three things i love about Cincinnati are the Pizza from la Rosas (better than NYC to me), The Chilli... Gold Star beats Skylines ASS ALL DAY..... and the final thing I like about it? I get to visit and dont hafta stay there

if I were a parent, I'd be pretty offended at the shoddy education my kids received in this school.

their history teachers apparently failed to teach them about Stalin, Mao, or any of the post-WW2 genocides.

I always wander why hitler is the most notorious one, with less numbers.

I know they were bad but ouch.....

Isn't Arkansas pushing to teach, or already does, [strike]Fairytales Grimm[/strike] errr.... "creationism" in science class? If so, the list makes perfect sense.

However, to any thinking person, Dick Cheney is clearly more evil than GW Bush. I mean who's a fault? The retard? Or the bully that pushed the retard, who didn't really know much, to do things?

I personally think a few people may be above #3 however. Where does Pol Pot, Idi Amin, Jeffery Dahlmer, Than Shwe, Nicolae Ceaușescu, and others fit?

I'm reminded of what either Mark Twain or Will Rogers said of Cincinnati:

When the end of the world comes, I want to be in Cincinnati because everything happens there 20 years later.

I always wander why hitler is the most notorious one, with less numbers.

Because the victims of other mass killings were either barely human (Russians, Asians) to the eyes of the 60's-70's era red-blooded patriotic American, or they were brown/black. European Jews are white people to your average American who only knows 5 races (white, black, brown, red, yellow), and add in the American fundamentalist Christian love of Jews as a vehicle to kick-start Armageddon ASAP gives you the full picture.

Long story short, even though Stalin indirectly murdered far more people than Hitler, Stalin's victims were Ruskies, therefore their lives never mattered.

Because most of the others just killed at random. Hitler killed specific people because of what their religion was. (on top of the casualties on the way to that, of course)

****ding ding ding**** We have a winner.

<sarcasm and satire>
And here I thought that Mao and Stalin were OK because they were Communists. They get a pass. Castro too.

I need to rethink all that now.

So "off topic" but Chance feel free to read Buddy LaRosas biography piece. I knew they were pervasive in the tristate but was unaware that the market penatration is unequaled in the industry. That and it is a helluva small town business story. The kind of thing I like.

How do I say anything more of any substance about the top five?

History is written by the victors.

Left-wing communists like Stalin and Mao killed 2, 3 times as many people as Hitler. I think the main reason Hitler is synonmous with 'evil' is because he was directly responsible for World War II . We just have a grotesque fascination with the Nazi's crimes.

Most of Stalin and Mao's crimes were confined to their own country. So there is less evidence/information about it all. Hitler's crimes, by contrast, happened in areas that were eventually over run by the allies.

Also, there's never been anyone who was a bigger threat to this country than Hitler. The man actually tried to conquer the world.

What is going on? LaitkaNYC is making sense!!

Your comments are insulting to the works of the brothers Grimm.

I don't know about Cincinnati pizza, but the best pizza in the world is found in Montreal, and I have had pizza baked in brick ovens in Italy by Italians who operated Italian restaurants in London, but they couldn't compare with a good pizza from Montreal. Not only that, but they deliver (for free) at 4:00 AM and don't expect a tip.

Of course, anyone who has been to Montreal in the winter will understand that a business that doesn't offer free delivery has no chance of surviving until Spring. (Written from a tropical beach in Southeast Asia.)

simple :

1.the German's kept great records, including pics

2. he invaded so many other nations and started shipping jews ASAP with no shame

3. he lost

Mao And Stalin, while both monsters, did there worst during domestic civil wars,

which are always bloody in the extreme.
