Wingnuts Rank America’s Best Patriots, Worst Traitors!
From Wonkette. Some of those "traitors" have been demonized here, too... (Wonkette is making fun of the website, just so you know.)


Yes, we get many nutty e-mails, and sometimes when we open them they link to the best websites in the world. One recent example is Country Above Self, which runs this tag line: “Celebrating Patriots and Exposing Traitors.” You can nominate and rank America’s greatest patriots (still living) and its worst liberal socialist traitors (their souls are always dead). It’s everything the Internet has always wanted.

Here are the current rankings:



A few pithy criticisms:

* We can all agree that Ron Paul’s ranking as America’s #2 greatest traitor is apt. Oh wait, no it’s not at all HE’S THE BEST AMERICAN/CONSTITUTION THING SINCE ADAMS & JEFFERSON, RON PAUL 2008!!!
* “Dr.” Bill Cosby, despite being a Negro, is a great patriot because he recognizes how terrible his race is, and denounces it. Hint hint, Barack Obama.
* What’s a “Phony Solider”? Like George W. Bush or something? Or John McCain, because all he did was napalm a bunch of innocent children from his planes, all of which he crashed?

Here's the website where all that crap can be found:

www.countryaboveself.com

I haven't gone to the link, nor do I intend to. Thank God for Wonkette — it's a dirty job, but someone has to do it.

2. If you flip the designations
these lists are fairly accurate.

12. When you start agreeing with the wingiest of the wingnuts, you might want to
rethink things.

8. I'd like to think that even if I were conservative, I'd still dislike her.
What an attention whore.

9. The freeperism "phony soldier"
refers to any Iraq veteran who now denounces the occupation. In other words, typical Repuke Orwellianism as usual.

11. I went to the original site -
things have changed since the screen cap above was taken. Notably they've replaced the skull icon with a lovely poo-on-the-flag image. Klassy.

Also Wonkette is now working her way up the traitor list, and VoteVets.org now holds the #6 spot on that list.

22. He's on the list.. just not at the very top; you'd have to open the site itself to see
(I know- not worth the effort).
