RightWingNews.com ^ | 11/13/08 | John Hawkins

Right Wing News emailed more than 240 right-of-center bloggers and asked them to send us a list of whom they considered to be their "Least Favorite People On The Right." Representatives from the following 46 blogs responded...

The Anchoress, AtlanticBlog, Axis of Right, BizzyBlog, Blonde Sagacity, Bookworm Room, Bull Moose Strikes Back, The Chronicles Of A Rogue Jew, Conservatism Today, Conservative Compendium, Conservative Grapevine, Conservative Punk, Copious Dissent, Dispatches from Blogblivion, Doubleplusundead, Fraters Libertas, Gateway Pundit, Girl On The Right, House of Eratosthenes, Paul Ibrahim, Jihad Watch, Keepin' It Rural, Likelihood of Success, Lotus Blog, Rachel Lucas, Mean Ol' Meany , Mere Rhetoric, Midnight Blue, Moonbattery, Mount Virtus, mountaineer musings, My Aisling, Neo-Neocon, Patriot Room, Pirate's Cove, Pirates Man Your Women!, The Rougblog, Josh Schroeder, Don Singleton, Sister Toldjah, Southern Appeal, dcthornton.com, The Virtuous Republic, WILLisms, Wolking's World, Word Around the Net

All bloggers were allowed to make anywhere from 1-12 unranked selections and were allowed to choose anybody on the right or generally perceived to be on the right that they liked: Republican, Conservative, Libertarian, politician, preacher, blogger, columnist, radio host, you name it!

The field was wide open with some exceptions that I didn't want to clutter up the list with since they have absolutely no support in the party or are in jail: David Duke, Fred Phelps, Duke Cunningham, & Jack Abramhoff. Since the scorn for them in the GOP is pretty much universal, there was no point in adding them in.

Without further ado, here are the right-of-center bloggers' least favorite people on the right with the number of votes beside of each selection in parentheses:

25) "McCain Staffers" (5)

25) Mitch McConnell (5)

25) Hank Paulson (5)

24) Scott McCellan (6)

21) George Bush (7) 21) Lincoln Chafee (7)

21) Mitt Romney (7)

20) Olympia Snowe (8)

16) Ann Coulter (9)

16) Bill O'Reilly (9)

16) Andrew Sullivan (9)

16) George Will (9)

13) Christopher Buckley (10)

13) Kathleen Parker (10)

13) Michael Savage (10)

11) David Brooks (11)

11) Lindsay Graham (11)

10) Arnold Schwarzenegger (12)

7) Mike Huckabee (13)

7) Pat Buchanan (13)

7) Ron Paul (13)

6) Chuck Hagel (14)

5) Arlen Specter (15)

4) Colin Powell (17)

3) Peggy Noonan (18)

2) Ted Stevens (19)

1) John McCain (25)

“Ann Coulter and Michael Savage don't belong on this list”

Savage savagely trashed Ann Coulter and Palin.

there’s no way to rate McCain higher than #1.

Yep, but not all surveys offer precise metrics so it'll have to do.

Can an honorable mention be made to the state GOP party officials for not closing their primaries and cauci?

Ann trashed Fred Thompson and promoted that worthless liberal puke, Mutt Romney.

And rightly so!!! Thompson sat on his hands and waited to be “Coronated” what a Hillbilly! He wanted the Job to be handed to him...He talked a good conservative...
But His record and His arrogance is not Coulter’s Fault.

screw this survey.

He was never a viable candidate because he didn't really want the job.

Are you sure Fred didn't want the job, or did the MSM tell you Fred didn't really want the job.

The MSM will always find a way to trash true conservatives.
