Favorite Asshole From History

I can't believe good ole Tony Wilson isn't on the list.

As for the guy who founded the KKK, i went out for a meal the other week and in the bar there was this American guy talking about the founder of the KKK for some reason, don't know why i stumbled in half way throught the conversation, but he said that when it was founded by this American Civil war guy, it wasn't a rascist organization, but when people joined and pushed it that way the original founder left the group,

so the fella in the bar was in the KKK and just looking to defend it, but he was quite adement about the fact that it was never started out as a what it has become.

Fanned the flames of the Troubles, then claimed it had nothing to do with him.

Here he is in smiley form:

Him, & everyone else involved on both 'sides'

Or, we could just blame Cromwell for moving people around

or Brian Boru, for giving us the idea that this Island was one single country . . .

Actually, he's at least partially right, although I fail to see how an organization founded to terrosize Republicans and keep the freed slaves in their place isn't "racist" by definition.

Count Von Staufenberg for not shoving his briefcase up Hitlers arse and doing the job properly

What about Herman Goering who was responsible for Hitler's political success? Goering gave the Nazi Party a legitimate face at least in terms with the wealthy industrialists. He was president of the Reichstag and was able to use this officve to set Hitler up. Goering alos was probably the last man that could have convinced Hitler that Germany should not start a war.

He also mismanaged the Luftwaffe into becoming little more than cannon fodder for the RAF and the anti-aircraft guns when he stopped bombing airfields and started bombing London. That was a huge mistake in the Nazi war plan, because they could have wiped out the RAF if they'd continued. Of course, no one ever accused the Germans of being smart :p

I think, though, Hitler was the main guy. You can't have the camps, the war, the ghettos, the death and destruction, without a one-balled ex-corporal from a little town in Austria. And he's a major-league asshole

God... I blame him for everything if he exists
