Life Who is the greatest American villain? - Page 20

**Rain Man** · 05:36 PM

A Charles Manson reference in another thread got me thinking about this. Who is the greatest villain in American history, the one that will draw the most ire from any right-thinking American?

Give me some options and I'll put up a poll. Nominees can come from any category: war, politics, crime, business, finance, celebrity, sports, child care, Benetton models, comic strip artists (Bil Keane, anyone?), or others. Give me your best shot.

The rules:

1. We're talking true villainy here. Villainy where you can't really defend anything the person did at a dinner party without getting winces.

2. We're talking national scale. Remember, the kicker that shall go unnamed is a hero in Indianapolis.

3. Real life only. While many may villainize Elmer Fudd for his relentless and brazen murderous stalking of Bugs Bunny, Mr. Fudd does not actually exist, and therefore any villainous acts committed by Mr. Fudd do not exist, either.

4. The villain must be an American citizen, or if their villainy took place before 1783, a resident of the area that would eventually become the United State AND acting against the United States for villainous reasons rather than sincere loyalty to another country in conflict with nascent American liberty movements or peoples and in the absence of a history of loyalty to American causes.

Once I get 20 reasonable candidates, I'll post the poll.

I've been doing some comparisons between Adolf Hitler and Al Capone.

Hitler was in power for 12 years. He ruled Germany, and later all of Europe, with an iron fist.

Capone was in charge of the Chicago mob for 7 years. He ruled the south side of Chicago, and later the Loop, with an iron first.

Hitler was response for over 20,000,000 deaths.

Capone was responsible for.... a few dozen deaths. But he always had an alibi.

Hitler tried to exterminate all the Jews in Europe.

Capone tried to exterminate Bugs Moran and half a dozen or so members of his gang.

Hitler conquered all of continental Europe and a good chunk of Russia.

Capone conquered.... the suburb of Cicero. Sort of.

Hitler was finally defeated by the combined armies of America, Russia, England and France.

Capone was defeated by... the IRS. And syphilis.

You know, I wouldn't have nearly as much trouble with this comparison if Capone had at least conquered Milwaukee.

Oh IT'S ON NOW, BITCHES!

**Gadzooks** · 09-01-2009, 10:18 PM

I sure wouldn't want to go up against syphilis.

**Gadzooks** · 09-01-2009, 10:19 PM

or the IRS for that matter. Seems Hitler had it easy.

When the Nazi IRS tried to go after him for back taxes, he had them all shot.

Hardly seems fair.
