Right-Wing Bloggers Hate Most Right-Wingers
Right Wing News (via On Deadline) has compiled a list of "right-of-center" bloggers' "Least Favorite People on the Right," debunking the myth that everyone on the scary side loves each other. RWN got 45 responses, and topping the hate poll is spunky government-destroyer Ron Paul with 23 votes. The list, in full after the jump, carefully balances the usual targets of lefty exploitation (Pat Robertson, Ann Coulter, James Dobson) with Republicans who once may have strayed from the party line (John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Arlen Specter) with gay gay GAY legislators (Larry Craig). Two Republican frontrunners for 2008, Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney, earn more jeers than George W. Bush, a good sign for GOP electability in the coming year.
