I tried to be as fair as possible with this. I know there are some peeps missing, but I tried to balance liberals with conservatives. Unfortunately, I ran out of liberals to add, so I couldn't put all of the conservatives on there.
Sean Hannity or Glenn Beck. Both uniformed morons, who are out to make outlandish idiotic political opinions. On the left Chris Matthews sucks because he's so dumb he thinks he's bipartisan.
Where is All of the Above? Anyway, I voted for Glenn Beck but I also wanted to vote for Bill O'Reilly and Rush Limbaugh. I would also nominate Lou Dobbs.
Mark Levin/Sean Hannity/Glenn Beck were tied, but I went with Beck. If you saw Network, you would understand.
Mark Levin is just a horrible human being. With Sean Hannity, his latest attacks on Kevin Jennings are deserving of a reward. Specifically libel. Although I am quite shocked you didn't put in Michael Savage in that list.
I can understand how conservative commentators will say one thing or another, but man, Beck just says some really crazy and sick shit. Oreilly is a hypocrite and Limbaugh, hes a fat asshole who hates non white people. In fact, I think that motherfucker is a Nazi.
Oddly enough, I mistook Hannity for Sean Connery on first glance. Still would have voted for him, since you can barely understand. "It sheems the Iraqi forshes have begun their organishing their attacksh in a shingle military unit."
I have to go with Bill O'Reilly. He makes the most insane political connections and claims. He is also just a massive jerk. I would also have to vote for Glenn Beck, because he is a crybaby right-wing nutjob.

Glenn Beck, you don't get toweep on the air, say Obama hates white people, then just say, I'm just a clown, and entertainer.
I don't know all of them, but if they are on Fox and CNN, I am going to go the safe option and agree - all of them.
News is no longer about facts and investigation, it is about opinion and personality. The cult of personality in news is like southern evangelical preachers and is bad for everyone.

I don't think Rush Limbaugh has ever made racist statements. The quotes that he had allegedly made, cannot be sourced. I highly doubt he's a racist.

Dude, if you ever listen to his radio show and hear him go off about illegal immigration, he goes on rants about Mexican people like crazy, saying racist stuff. Same for black people. Just his latest comment was that the NFL looks like the Bloods and Crips playing without weapons. And he went on to explain that he said it because he wants to save the game. Oh man, you just cannot get out of what he said. Its totally racist as to calling the players down there gangsters.
I'm going to vote none of the above because they aren't real commentators. Everything they do, everything say is just to get viewers. That's not commentary. That's advertising.
Sean Hannity is by far the worst, at least Beck was all over Acorn. Keith Olberman is awesome don't know why he's there. I consider myself a conservative but man some of these dudes need to get their facts straight before they comment on anything. Remember, these dudes are COMMENTATORS. They get paid to give their OPINIONS. If you don't agree with them, well tough luck. O'Reilly I think gets bashed because he tends to bring God into discussion or that hes too conservative or tends to go right. Ok so then thats a bad thing? Yes he's made mistakes but so have all the other left wing commentators and no one seems to get upset about that.
@lilburtonboy7489: Yeah, with the lefts losing by invoking the argument from the majority, the rights losing by invoking the argument from tradition, and the capitalists winning by invoking arguments from reason ;)
@lilburtonboy7489: I voted Olbermann. The guy thinks a vocabulary is a good substitute for principles. Well I for one have the perspicacity and linguistic fortitude to tell him to go fuck himself.
I find it kind of surprising to see the left playing right into Glenn Beck's hands though....
@lilburtonboy7489: Oh, Bill-o. On topic though, they're all clowns. I'm Canadian and I know that. I'm going to have to say that from what I witnessed, Beck, O'Reilly and Limbaugh are just awful people.
Burton, may I ask what is wrong with Rachel Maddow? I can understand why Olbermann is on the list, but why is Maddow on the list? She's great. Opinions aside, she is respectful 100% of the time and is a bloody Rhodes Scholar. If anyone on this list has credibility on commenting in politics, she's one of the best.
/And no, this is not a sign as to how bad political commentary is in America //She beat out Peter Mansbridge, who I consider to be amazing in every way
I find Rush Limbaugh to be a ignorant fat bastard so he would get my vote.
However, I really like Glenn Beck. I have more of a libertarian political viewpoint and Beck does as well. He is very intelligent and makes his shows entertaining. Does he cry and blow up in emotional fits? Yes, but that is part of the fun haha. He is still crazy.
I've seen mercifully little from the majority of the names you have listed, and so I nominate Michael Moore. Though he doesn't have a radio show or a television show, he does equally nauseating attempts at 'journalism' in the form of his films.
In the end though, they're all pretty much equally bad at face value, and I do not dare to know them any better than that.
Well, since we're talking about political commentators, I suppose which one I see as the "worst" is the one that distorts the facts the most and differs from my personal opinion the most. If we were talking about actual journalists, all of the people on that list would be roughly equal with regards to lameness. I'm a liberal though, so I guess I'll go with Glenn Beck and his red-scare fanaticism.
