20 Most Annoying Liberals

Right Wing News has released the 2005 edition of their annual "Twenty Most Annoying Liberals In the United States" report.  It's a good read, if a bit, well, annoying.  Even in the spirit of mockery and derision, it's hard to stomach that much concentrated, self-important moonbattery and pro-tax, anti-growth, pro-enemy, anti-security, pro-Tookie anti-Americanism in one place.

All in all, the list is a thorough and wide-ranging romp back through the year's most inane diatribes.  And all the names on this list worked hard to earn their spots.  I personally feel there are several Democrat Senators who were robbed of their rightful ranking (a couple made it, but so many are deserving), but with Alito's confirmation hearings on deck, they'll get to start putting points on the board for 2006 before long.

Anyway, here's a taste, from my favorite entry:

5) John Murtha

John "Cut and Run" Murtha is grindingly annoying not just because he wants American soldiers to tuck their tails between their legs and run from Al-Qaeda as fast as possible in Iraq, but also because of the dishonest way he's been promoted.

The fact Murtha is an ex-marine has been used time and time again as a shield against criticism, as an excuse to falsely claim he's a hawk, and to prop up his credibility when he calls for an immediate withdrawal from Iraq.

Setting aside the fact that Murtha has now said he wouldn't join the Marines again...actually, let's not set it aside. If Murtha doesn't think the Marines are worth joining today, maybe he should stop throwing his military service in everyone's face. Better yet, maybe the press could actually give ex-Marines who do support the war and still like the service, as much attention and respect as that blowhard, John Murtha.

Defining Quote: "(It's) baffling that [John Murtha] is endorsing the policy positions of Michael Moore and the extreme liberal wing of the Democratic party...The eve of an historic democratic election in Iraq is not the time to surrender to the terrorists." -- White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan
