List some. I say:

Mir-Hossein Mousavi
Winston Churchill
Martin Luther
Omar Torrijos
Vojislav Kostunica
Woodrow Wilson
Daniel Ortega
Ho Chi Minh
Charles DeGaulle

And some more I can think of for sure.

Hack? Olbermann is just as bad as O'Reilly, but from your point of view.

Yeah. Olbermann is a bit of a hack. But I do enjoy it when he hands O'Reilly's ass on a platter. My main problem with him (like most people in sensational news media) is that while he gets onto one side for doing crap, he lets the other side totally off the hook whenever they screw up. He pretty much threw everything including the kitchen sink at the Bush administration for the Patriot Act and other violations of civil liberty but he let Obama off the hook whenever Obama voted in favor of FISA in 2008. Also, after the election was over Olbermann had an emotional special comment on prop 8, yet I haven't heard him moan at all about Obama not having the balls to be pro gay marriage. Plus, how can I forget how he gave Obama a slap on the wrist for excusing Bush officials involed with torture?

I'm surprised I forgot Viktor Yuschenko, considering he's of the same type as Mousavi and Kostunica.

Oh wait, overthrowing a monarchal authoritarian is an act of freedom. So yeah Lenin would be both and FF and an HP.

Peron certainly did enough good things to be considered both a FF and a HP

Why would you consider DeLonge and Lagnan to be HPs and Graham to be a FF?

Angels & Airwaves is horrendously pretentious, both he and Mark made mistakes in the breakup of blink

Langan has written pieces in defense of intelligent design

Graham flipped his middle finger to Falwell & co. back in the late '70s



it's all more nuanced than that but I don't want to type much more than that

I would argue, John Calvin, though I am sure most here will say my brain has turned to rot.

Also in a religious vein, Thomas Cranmer, Sir Thomas More and some of the Popes.

Ron Paul.  Great social policies except choice and gay marriage.  HORRIBLE fiscal policies, but not the worst.
