Who do you believe are the worst Americans of all time?
Be prepared to defend your choices! I'm expecting a lot of "George W. Bush for being a stupid dum dum head," so make sure you can stay and defend your choices. This is not a concrete list (actually, I'm going to pick some controversial figures for the sake of debate) but here, in no particular order: FDR- For pretty much becoming a dictator during WWII, not to mention mishandling it. Nathan Bedford Forrest- For starting the KKK. Joe McCarthy- For his overzealous crusade against Communism. U.S. Grant- For being a terribly ineffective president, especially after the Civil War. Robert McNamara- For mishandling the Vietnam War. Malcolm X- For undoing what MLK JR III did by supporting violent miltantism. I can't think of any more bad Americans at the moment, but I'll let you guys have a go. |

I agree, except:
QUOTE(kryogenix @ Dec 31 2005, 11:20 AM) Nathan Bedford Forrest- For starting the KKK.  Nathan Bedford gets a lot of crap that he probably doesn't deserve. For one, when he "started" the KKK all it did was ride around town and play pranks. It was basically a social club for Tennessee elite. When the KKK became militant and started lynching black people, Forrest not only resigned but he publicly denounced it. Blaming Forrest for the KKK's militancy is like blaming Marx for the Gulags. QUOTE(kryogenix @ Dec 31 2005, 11:20 AM) U.S. Grant- For being a terribly ineffective president, especially after the Civil War. We've had a LOT worse than Grant. QUOTE(kryogenix @ Dec 31 2005, 11:20 AM) I can't think of any more bad Americans at the moment, but I'll let you guys have a go. Oh come on, out of hundreds of millions of Americans, five is all you can think of? |
