Infamous? What makes one infamous? The number of people they killed? The number of people they affected through history?

This is a lame list.

Overweight on the current bogeymen, IMHO. And Marcus Brutus has only one crime to his discredit (some don’t see it as more than conspiracy anyway). I agree part of the list is lame.

Should also have Josef Dhugashvilli and Cesare Borgia on it.

Ridiculous. Stalin? Pol Pot? Mohammed?

Jack the Ripper was a small time serial killer.

Indeed. No Stalin, no Mao, no Pol Pot. That list was crap.

I mean even if you accept that most lefties defend Stalin and Mao, nobody except Chomsky has ever defended Pol Pot.

The very idea that Lee Harvey Oswald made the list is just plain loony. He doesn’t measure up to those standards at all.

What did Genghis Khan do that was so bad? He used brutal tactics - but it is hard to deny their overall effectiveness.

Why is Alexander seen as a hero of antiquity while Genghis Khan is “infamous”?

the most infamous will depend on country to country. I can guarantee that if you ran the same questions in China or Japan, most of those listed here would not be known to those questioned

What about Charles Manson?

"Dig It. First they killed those pigs, then they ate dinner in the same room with them, they even shoved a fork into a victim’s stomach! Wild!"
-Weather Underground leader and wife of Bill Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn, referring to the Manson murders

"It was at the Chicago home of [Bill] Ayers and [Bernardine] Dohrn that Obama, then an up-and-coming 'community organizer,' had his political coming out party in 1995. Not content with this rite of passage in Lefty World — where unrepentant terrorists are regarded as progressive luminaries, still working 'only to educate' — both Obamas tended to the relationship with the Ayers."

Allies in War
By David Horowitz
FrontPageMagazine.com | Monday, September 17, 2001:

excerpt...

In 1969, Ayers and his wife convened a "War Council" in Flint Michigan, whose purpose was to launch a military front inside the United States with the purpose of helping Third World revolutionaries conquer and destroy it.

Taking charge of the podium, dressed in a high-heeled boots and a leather mini-skirt – her signature uniform – Dorhn incited the assembled radicals to join the war against "Amerikkka" and create chaos and destruction in the "belly of the beast."

Her voice rising to a fevered pitch, Dohrn raised three fingers in a "fork salute" to mass murderer Charles Manson whom she proposed as a symbol to her troops. Referring to the helpless victims of the Manson Family as the "Tate Eight" (the most famous was actress Sharon Tate) Dohrn shouted:

Dig It. First they killed those pigs, then they ate dinner in the same room with them, they even shoved a fork into a victim’s stomach! Wild!..."

"Today William Ayers is not merely an author favored by the New York Times, but a Distinguished Professor of Education at the University of Illinois, Chicago.

His Lady Macbeth [Bernardine Dohrn] is not merely a lawyer, but a member of the American Bar Association’s governing elite, as well as the director of Northwestern University’s Children and Family Justice Center."
