“I mean someone whose despicable behavior is tolerated or even celebrated within our own culture.”
S.U.V. drivers.
Second on my list would be France or Canada.
I might submit Ann Coulter to the list. All the bluster and bombast of Rush Limbaugh, with the important difference that she takes herself far more seriously than Rush does. And her fans take her way too seriously.
She’s at least a contender, I should think.
I’m quite surprised nobody has said Bill O’Reilly yet.
O’Reilly’s like Howard Stern. Mostly harmless.
Ashcroft is fun. Lost to a dead man, currently has a US Citizen arrested, held without charges and without a lawyer, arrested within the US itself. Jose Pedilla. One of the people swearing against him is lying, and the other appears to be a druggie. Not to mention his Justice Department seems to be perfectly willing to be in contempt of judge’s orders… (Massassoui case)
You know, personally, I think that we need to investigate the power structure of the Religious Right for a true villian. Someone’s powering this neocon crap.
You can’t go wrong hating the late L. Ron Hubbard and the Church of Scientology. Nothing makes me see red like those bastards.

I’d have to say that Ashcroft is the best candidate so far.
What, this far and the Rev. Pat Robertson hasn’t been mentioned?
[sub]Or maybe that Bob guy from Jack Chick’s tracts. Can’t go wrong there, right?[/sub]
I suspect that some female prisoners may well sleep in shifts, whereas males sleep in pajamas. 
I’d say the likes of Fred Phelps would be a good boogey man. Hell, I use him as an example of “Random Bad Person”. Whenever I think of anything and everything that’s screwed up in the world, I always think of “delusional and fanatical devotion to a religion or cult”, which is, of course, what a Phelpsian lifestyle is like. I’m surprised he hasn’t set up Phelpstown in South America yet.
How about Howard Stern? Constant examples and be found almost daily… and although his points are valid they are always without quoth. If you could include cartoon characters, you could say Homer Simpson… Average, middle class, american, stupid, lucky, and he will not go away.
I suggest the Southern Baptist Chuch and their fun theories about how to cure gay people.
My father, being both a Baby Boomer and NASA admin., remembers Nixon’s death fondly: “I got the day off!”
How about the RIAA?
When I opened this thread I was going to give you a list of animist demons* from the Santeria religion including my own personal protector, but it seems you’re looking more along the lines of an evil someone. So, never mind.
*demon in this case does not necessarily represent evil, although traditional Christians may view them as such.
After considerable reflection, I have selected John Ashcroft as my new demon. Thank you, InternetLegend, for the suggestion.
Should Mr. Ashcroft be unable to fulfill his obligations as my demon, the runnerup demon is Bill O’Reilly,
Jerry Falwell?
Oh yes, I second Jerry Falwell. He makes my list every time.
I’d also have to throw in the entire Bush family from Grampa Prescott (a Nazi’s best friend) to the drunken/drug addicted kids.
We’ve got Pat Robertson, we’ve got Fred Phelps, and we’ve got Jerry Falwell…
No one has yet mentioned (until now) Benny Hinn.
Odd.
Sorry, Buttonjockey… there’re so many assholes in the world, it’s hard to remember them all.
I was playing NetHack over the weekend, and I turned my pet kitten into a demon (thanks to a wand of polymorph).
But you can’t have it. It was killed by a priest. I’m going through pets fast in this game.
