The 25 Most Influential People On The Right For 2014
Townhall ^ | Sep 06, 2014 | John Hawkins

Posted on 09/08/2014 10:27:45 AM PDT by Maceman

Honorable Mentions: Sheldon Adelson, Roger Ailes, Brent Bozell, Ben Carson, Tucker Carlson, Todd Cefaratti, Chris Chocola, Jim DeMint, Jonathan Garthwaite, Trey Gowdy, Greg Gutfeld, Darrell Issa, Bobby Jindal, Matt Kibbe, Charles Krauthammer, Mike Lee, Kathryn Jean Lopez, Michelle Malkin, Alex Marlow, Jenny Beth Martin, Bill O'Reilly, Tony Perkins, Judson Phillips, Reince Priebus, Glenn Reynolds, Marco Rubio ,Christopher Ruddy, Sal Russo, Antonin Scalia, Thomas Sowell, Dustin Stockton, Erik Telford, Joe Wierzbicki

25) Paul Ryan: The former VP candidate has been a difference-maker in the House, although not in a way a lot of conservatives have been pleased to see. Ryan was one of the strongest voices calling for amnesty and he also helped undermine the sequestration cuts that were one of the Republican Party’s few victories against spending.

(24) James O'Keefe: O’Keefe’s high profile stings have proven to be extremely effective. One video from O’Keefe accomplishes more than a week of front page stories at any paper in the nation.

23) Laura Ingraham:Ingraham is a regular on TV and has two million listeners to her radio show, but shehas also been playing in elections this year. How much of an impact has she had? Well, you could ask Eric Cantor who is now in the private sector largely because Ingraham backed his opponent Dave Brat.

(22) Dick Cheney: George W. Bush has largely avoided politics since he left office, but his VP hasn’t followed in his footsteps. Cheney has taken a number of hard swings at Obama on foreign policy and has drawn blood on more than a few occasions.

John Roberts is more influential than Clarence Thomas or Sam Alito?

I guess so, but not in the way we want it.

You’re correct. I should have gone to page 2 of the article.

Interesting list - however alot of folks they have as “honorable mention” IMHO are more influential than some on the numbered list.

I haven’t even heard of a couple on the numbered list.

#1 Matt Drudge, I could go along with that. I check him several times a day.

Karl Rove “influential”?? In whose world?

Do agree Bill O’Reilly is up there on the list. I really like that’s he’s after the black community to pull up their pants and start raising their kids right!! Since Johnson patted them on the head and started handing out welfare, the black family has tanked.

I know lots and lots of people who don't know who Mark Levin is, but everyone knows about the Drudge Report.

The smallness and infitilism of people on this website is amazing. Just because you don't agree with something you utterly dismiss with disdain. You have no ability to look at anything objectively.

Honorable Mention Charles Krauthammer - I think he’s got to be one of the smartest men in America. Did you know he’s paralyzed? I didn’t know until a few months ago. He wasn’t until his college days when he took an ill-fated dive into a swimming pool.

There list includes Paul Ryan, John McCain, Rove, Hannity, Beck, Boehner, Rand Paul and McConnell -- NONE of these people is the slightest bit conservative.

If Mark “see no evil, report no evil” Levin is on this list it is crap.

I waited months for him to give a report on his findings in regards to the BC issue, finally I heard all I ever needed to hear from him and turned his show off after about 10 years of listening to his show.

He and his story have been in the forefront of media activities for the past forty or so years.

Mark Levin has millions of listeners. Just because the usual drones have never heard of him doesn’t mean a thing. Your “lots and lots of people” are probably the same “lots of and lots of people” who still watch CNN, MSNBC and network news channels. I have learned more from Mark Levin about our constitution than I ever learned in high school and college. He is the only one that has promoted a solution to big bloated government. Everyone on this so-called “list” talks, talks and talks about the problems but no one has come up with a possible solution except “elect more Republicans”. The establishment Republicans are part of the problem. Until we fix Washington, we will continue to get kicked in the rear by our so called “representatives”. They will not fix themselves. “Mark”, my works (pun intended), Mark Levin will go down in history as a great thinker along with all of the “great thinkers” before him that made this country the best country on earth.

I love Mark Levin and often listen to him. In fact, I think Mark is getting even better and I believe he is already regarded as a great thinker. But the list is for the most influential people on the right in 2014 - it is for the right at large, so the list rings true. Drudge will always head the list because of his website which is wildly popular, more so than Mark Levin.

If you think the list is the 25 most influential people for Katwoman, then yes, Mark Levin is #1. Enjoy today's show.
