Which pundit's head would look better at the top of a pike?

Personally I'd like to rack all of them up. But since a poll calls for me to vote for only one, it would be Hannity, the guy is an egregious waste of skin.

Hannity? Does he count as a pundit?
Similarly, I'd like to see Bill O'Reilly's head on a pike, but frankly I don't really consider him to be much of an expert either, so I guess he wouldn't count. :(

I didn't include O'Riely because he was kind of marginalized by that whole loofah/filafel thing. LOL

I thought he was a film maker not a pundit. Wouldn't a left leaning pundit be more like James Carvel or Paul Begala?

I must admit that this is a biased poll, because I HATE the right wing. I thoroughly believe that they are what's wrong with this country.
An entire political belief system built around being happy with higher levels of economic inequality, and it's, unique in the world, unwillingness to provide citizens with decent education or fully funded health care.
Right now 40 million americans are paid less than $10 an hour, and a full 2/3 of our population earns less than $45,000 a year. There are more than 2 million people in prison, a vast majority of which are black and latino. And, the most insulting thing of all; the most profitable corporations are relieved of the obligation to pay income tax. And, no politician is pernitted to stand for public office without first professing an ardent faith in god.
These people promote all these things. Despicable...

Never use the term "tax relief". Here's why:

LA, DC, CHI, and NY. Democratic bastions of policy. How many people do these cities put in prison again? How many people in these cities are paid less than $10 an hour? How many companies are given major tax breaks/various other incentives by these cities again? The schools in DC are some of the best funded schools in the nation. Care to guess how good they are.

Did I say anything about where, within the country, this was going on? Besides there are conservo-nutjobs in every state. Just because the majority of a state's population had the good sense to vote democrat doesn't mean that there aren't right wing jerkoffs in those same state fucking it all up.

Ah, in the States. I was referring to Cities. In every one of those cities there is a very substantial Dummicrat majority. It is the policies of the cities which contribute most to the situations in those cities. And in Illinois at the least there aren't enough conservatives/libertarians. Otherwise we would have laws that reduce crime, and not guns. Two separate issues.

Those really aren't truthful comparisons. For instance; Chicago, and Dallas, TX, have strikingly similar crime rates. So, that rationale doesn't hold up. Compare...
Population Chicago: 2,866,191 Dallas: 1,119,580
Violent crimes (murder, rape, robbery & assault) Nat. Avg.: 506.1 Chicago: 1,630.6 Dallas: 1,432.9
Property crimes (burglary, larceny & auto theft) Nat. Avg.: 3,617.9 Chicago: 5,920.7 Dallas: 7,950.2
Murder Nat. Avg.: 5.5 Chicago: 20.9 Dallas: 20.6
Forcible rape Nat. Avg.: 32.0 Chicago: 0.0 Dallas: 56.5
Robbery Nat. Avg.: 144.9 Chicago: 678.6 Dallas: 629.3
Aggravated assault Nat. Agv.: 323.6 Chicago: 930.2 Dallas: 726.3
Burglary Nat Avg.: 728.4 Chicago: 990.9 Dallas: 1,813.2
Larceny-theft Nat. Avg.: 2,475.3 Chicago: 3,688.8 Dallas: 4,535.4
Motor vehicle theft Nat. Avg.: 414.2 Chicago: 1,241.0 Dallas: 1,601.6

Like I said, striking, especially when you also consider that Chicago has more that twice the population of Dallas.

Let's see. 40 million americans paid less than 40 grand? Probably. 2/3 make less than 45,000 a year? OF COURSE THEY DO! The average GDP in america is what, 35,000? Except for luxembourg, I don't think has an avg GDP of at least 45 grand. So that point is bs. Moving on... politicians don't have to profess a faith in god, that sir, is ignorance on your behalf.
And where in the constitution does it say we have to provide full healthcare to the people? throwing money at a problem doesn't solve it, as much as you want. And about all those people making less than 10 bucks an hour, how many of them deserve to be paid more? and how many of them are temporary jobs, etc?
And finally, what the hell are you talking about many blacks and latinos being in prison? Perhaps because the people who committed these crimes were black and latino! hell, aren't liberals the ones who came up with hate crime laws to show favoritism towards minorities? ditto with affirmative action. and maybe there wouldn't be so many damn people in prison if we just stopped the drug war... that would probably help out a lot.

Mind this people.The poller comes from a place where a talk radio host, who is conservative, has had to move, change his phone number, hire security guards...etc, because the "open-minded," "tolerent left" (as long as you agree with EVERYTHING they say and stand for) of Portland OR have made death threats to him and his wife. He and his wife have had very specific threats made against him. One of the threats made was that they would "rape his wife till she bled to death."
This started when the rotund, mouth-of-the-midwest, Hollywood hypocrit Michael Moore gave out the host's private phone number and address at a rally last year.
