Who is the most embarrassing conservative?

[dad49er]

Conservatives, who is the most embarrassing conservative? The one conservative you wish would just shut up, and go away?
Would it be a conservative official caught up in a financial or sexual scandal? Or one given to 'controversial' statements, or public stunts?

Maybe it is someone like a Ron Paul, who our local conservative talk radio host referred to as 'cuckoo'. Or someone like a Tancredo, Hunter or Keyes who ran for the GOP nomination and struggled to gain 2% support.

Or maybe it isn't a politician at all, but a conservative talk radio host, or author given to truly outrageous claims or statements.

I won't post a poll, I'd be sure to leave someone off, so just your own ideas.

And since I know I'll be asked, Jack Murtha, Nancy Pelosi, and Barney Franks are among the most embarrassing liberals I can think of.

[Oddball]

I take the 5th.

[BillBrown]

Palin

[teekay]

What did you hope to accomplish with this thread that couldn't be accomplished with the other thread/poll asking pretty much the same question?

[Ninjacorpse]

I take the 5th.

It seems like a trap.

[johnrocks]

It seems like a trap.

Nah, Dad is better than that but I will take the 5th also.:silenced:

[dad49er]

The most embarrassing Republican thread?
Because that thread was about Republicans, not conservatives. And the prevalent opinion was that the moderates or RINO's were the most embarrassing.

The questions may be related, but they are different.

[BravoBuzzard]

Savage.

I think this is response to my poll/thread about liberals in which I created to counter the poll you just mentioned.

Thanks for that.
And if I were posting at DU (I don't) I might take the 5th on most embarrassing liberal too.

I plead the 5th, and Murtha is an embarrassment as a person.

No, I haven't seen it yet.
But as you can see I already answered.

I agree.
I sort of cringe when I see him on television.

[Raoul Duke]

no body thought my (lame) joke was funny!!

[Raoul Duke]

me too. I can't think of one Rep/Sen from my state that doesn't

[Kelzan]

Mike Savage is an embarrassment.

[Oddball]

:((

:((
I did.

But I almost always get Star Wars and Trek references.

[dad49er]

My vote?
Who was the guest on Hannity, before the election, that claimed to have 'evidence' on Obama but never came through with it? He had talked to Sean on the phone and was clearing customs out of Africa or somewhere, then he just never showed.
He had also written a book about the twin towers being some type of governmental conspiracy. That was embarrassing. But I can't recall his name.

My second vote would be Ann Coulter. I know some here cringe when ever she says something outlandish.

[CaptainCrunch]

I love Ann Coulter and Michael Savage!

They just crack me up how they mock liberals.

Liberals are so stupid they just don't get it either that's why it's all the more funny!

Conservatism doesn't embarrass me.

[spearmaster]

No, I haven't seen it yet.
But as you can see I already answered.

I see that, I sense a poll war. ;)

[ThinkingMan]

Palin

Well, that took 3 posts. I was guessing one, maybe two.

[Oddball]

I love Ann Coulter and Michael Savage!
As borderline deranged as Savage sometimes gets, he makes me laugh, has a vastly greater vocabulary, and has a much more topically diverse program than other highly rated hosts, who will remain nameless.

That's my thoughts as well. I really wanted to say RINO's are the real embarrassment but I figure I would save that for the other thread. True conservatism is awesome.

[ThinkingMan]

I am embarrassed by people who think Palin is embarrassing.

[dad49er]

Too tough to make a list.
Get criticized for leaving someone off.
Or listing someone, say Bush for example, because some would say that isn't a conservative.

What do you think about Glenn Beck?
He ventures into deranged conspiracy theory at times.

I have no idea if I like him or not - some days I will see him and agree - other days... :eek:

Even though he can sometimes be a bit of a negative wave factory, he's still the closest thing to intellectual honesty on the airwaves.

As for those "highly rated, nameless hosts", it's difficult to find anyone embarrassing who is that highly successful. I may disagree with them at times, but I do respect them.

[dad49er]

I agree with both your points.
They replaced him here with Mark Levin, I enjoyed Beck more.

[2Parties1GlobalistGoal]

Probably Ron Paul because he's a flaming liberal ROFLCOPTER!!!1111

Good point.

[spearmaster]

He does at times but I like his non-partisan approach and he is just plain funny. His war on double chins is just funny.

[Justus]

Coulter.

Savage doesn't bother me too much, he's fun to listen to. I must admit, I'm not much of a talk radio guy, I enjoy it when I do, but I'm usually busy doing something else. And because I live in the west coast, I'm at work during the time rush/sean/levin/savage are on.

[Broseph]

John Walters.

An embarrassment to humanity really.

[Broseph]

What do you think about Glenn Beck?
He ventures into deranged conspiracy theory at times.

He claims to be libertarian... every show... multiple times per show.

Not the case.

He is somewhere between W and Paul, that's for sure, but he's not what I would consider a libertarian.

[New Orleans Lady]

Easy:

ANY person whom calls himself/herself a conservative, yet is nothing of the such--- and in fact has rarely exhibited anything remotely close to evening understanding conservatism (that is unless they're attempting to make weak attempts when pandering to us)!! http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j311/neworleansgal/Smiley%20Faces/out.gif

[New Orleans Lady]

Glenn is a tough one for me. Here's why:

Sometimes I am really interested in the topic &/or what his guest is saying but then he distracts & undermines them, and sometime even the topic b/c of the goofy faces he makes WHILE they're talking. A regular viewer/loyal listener may 'get it' but I fear it could lose or turn away an otherwise potential ally from the 'cause' because they are distracted by his body language of facial expressions.

JMHO of course... http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j311/neworleansgal/Smiley%20Faces/confused246ey1in.gif

ETA: Anyone else ever concerned about this too???

Who would that be?

[CrusaderFrank]

Barack Obama.

During the campaign he sounded as Conservative as Reagan (Tax cuts, spending discipline) but I see now that Obama was just smoking that good paklolo he had in high school.

david frum....not really a conservative but claims to be one.....ugh.

I'll give you three I'm pretty embarrased about nowadays. Snowe,

You may be the conservatives' Oddball, but I am the Liability!

But the biggest embarrassment to conservatives is anyone who grasps so poorly what conservatism is that he says stupid-ass stuff that is more racist or bigoted or jingoist than it is principled.

Conservatives, for example, often get saddled (by ignorant or self-serving liberals) as advocates of the belief system that holds, "My country right or wrong!" Whatever else that kind of thinking might be, it's not conservatism.
