The Eight Most Irritating Conservative Celebrities
I pretty much have to agree with this list...

The Eight Most Irritating Conservative Celebrities

The Eight Most Irritating Conservative Celebrities:



snip//

Chuck Norris
Having to watch this no-talent hack embarrass himself through his atrocious movies is bad enough. But having to endure him on the campaign trail is just cruel. His lame attempts to portray Mike Huckabee as a superhero fell as flat as the notion of himself still claiming that mantle despite his advanced age and decrepitude.

Stephen Baldwin
What can I say? Baldwin was never not irritating. He built on that reputation by starring in unreality shows and begging for donations to “restore” himself from bankruptcy. Clearly Stephen’s brothers hogged all the talent in the family and selfishly left him a miserable loser and a wretched failure. Come to think of it, he may be more pathetic than irritating.

Jon Voight
This one-hit wonder has managed to keep his name in the papers by having a very public feud with his more famous (and more talented) daughter, Angelina Jolie, and by drinking the Glenn Beck Kool-Aid by the gallon. With a prominent ignorance of history and government, Voight still mouths off about socialist conspiracies and Constitutional abuses that exist only his Beck-infected brain.

Dennis Miller
One of the saddest stories in the entertainment world is the tale of the once promising newcomer who winds up a pathetic has-been and resorts to desperately grasping for attention by any means he can muster. Even if it means becoming a toady for the likes of Bill O’Reilly and dressing up as a born again neo-con. Miller’s new persona is devoutly conservative, but he retains his penchant for indecipherably obscure references. Listening to him like sitting through a Xenophanic allocution on Byzantine incandescence.

Ted Nugent
Approaching the nadir of irritability is the Motor City Jackass himself. Nugent has become a cartoonish proponent of guns and animal massacre. His rants against government spending and social welfare are high decibel testimonials to selfishness and coldhearted disinterest in anyone less fortunate than he is. During the 2008 campaign Nugent brandished machine guns on stage and made obscene threats directed at Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and other Democrats. His behavior crossed the line from irritating to abusive, hostile, and unconscionably grotesque.

Victoria Jackson
To wit…..(video at link)


Nuff said.

If the editors at Human Events want to get into this battle they first need to explain how they can criticize the left for embracing their Hollywood allies, while simultaneously latching on to their own decidedly less talented batch of elitists. They ought to think twice before provoking a “Battle of the Irritating Stars.” when they have a far more annoying roster of vexatious celebrities. And it is notable that most of their idols are rejects who have no current career opportunities save for appearances on Fox News and at Tea Parties.

7. Yes, restricting themselves to eight severely limited them
but I'm sure they rejected Geriatric Gidget because she's run for three offices and been elected to two of them, one of which she seems to have finished even though it was so clear she wasn't up to the job that a city manager was hired to do it for her. That would qualify her as a politician instead of a celebrity. Celebrities have to have some talent somewhere, and so far Bible Barbie's talent has remained totally hidden.

4. I find 'lizbeth Hasselback more irritating than Stine
Stine's voice is more irritating than his commentary. He will come off his line once and a while the others are just plain stupidly supporters of the GOP regardless of their leader or actions.

5. All washed up has-beens who are only in the spotlight because the media loves conservatives.
:shrug:

6. I dislike Jon Voight's politics, but...
to call him a "one-hit wonder" is ridiculous.

I can name at least a dozen big-screen and TV movies that he's been in, all of which were pretty good.
It's insane to imply that Angelina Jolie is more talented.

11. I agree with that
Voight is talented, a kook, but a talented kook.

18. part of his talent is being a kook
I say that as a fan of his acting. Not a fan of his family life or politics, but he makes a good movie, and I think being legitimately crazy is a big part of that.

8. They're only irritating if you take them seriously.
Otherwise, they're just sad, pathetic clowns.

9. I still think Victoria Jackson is some odd performance art thing.
She can't be real.

14. I've honestly thought about that as well.
Perhaps Andy Kaufmann is playing one last big joke on us by playing a ditzy, blonde bimbo with a fondness for hate speech.

10. with maybe the exception of mel gibson (although his star power has faded quite a bit)...
there isn't one headliner among them.

13. If Human Events wants to name Al Gore and Michael Moore
Then Dick Cheney, Rudy Giuliani, Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Pat Buchanan, and the entire Republican Congressional delegation ought to be up for consideration.

21. Al Gore and Michael Moore both have Oscars,
I think that's what gets them considered as "celebrities" instead of just straight up politicians.

16. They left out Bruce Willis
oddly enough, one of the most outspoken and swaggering Bush fanatics.

Perhaps Bruce got quiet and changed his views after some reflection, who knows.

17. Dennis Miller
Is he still a celebrity?

I guess not.


Steven Spielberg's conservative turn disappointed me.
David Mamet's, too.
And Gary Sinise.

Those 8 on the list were never much of nothing to me anyway.

19. I know what you mean
Victoria Jackson? That's setting the celebrity bar pretty low. Her fifteen minutes were up a long, long long time ago.

23. What a freak show of mutants! If they toured, they could do better than Ringling Brothers Circus!
People have always liked to look at freaks of nature. All of the conservatives on this list and hundreds more could make their own circus freak show and tour all over the country. I find it almost impossible to understand how anyone could believe or like these zombies. But then again, there are a lot of very, very dumb people in this country.
