Of the three on this list, only two openly preached hate. Neither Fred Phelps nor Margaret Thatcher personally murdered anyone. Bin Laden is definitely the worst of the three. I'm not going to sugarcoat this and say Phelps never actually harmed anyone, though. No. He harmed many people. Thatcher - well, you can disagree with the way she ran her government, sure, but she didn't lay the foundation for what only can be compared to Klan rallies nor did she order her people to fly planes into buildings. Love her or hate her, her intentions were nothing like those of the other two.
I voted Thatcher.
While Phelps did rob people of their life's earnings in several lawsuits, I think it's insane to suggest that he harmed "many" people. Especially compared to Maggie Thatcher, whose policies destroyed entire communities.
He harmed people emotionally. He kicked people when they were already on the ground, and he did it with full knowledge of his crimes and he did it because he wanted them to feel pain. Thatcher's policies were destructive, but I don't think her intentions can be compared to those of Phelps. Do you really think that a country under the power of Fred Phelps would be less bad than Thatcher's Britain?
How DARE you even put Thatcher Phelps in with those others.
Fixed
Phelps was by far the least destructive of the three.
Well, if you admire Fred Phelps so much, the leader of an extremist hate group, that's up to you.
Well if you admire Maggie Thatcher, the leader of the Conservative Party of Great Britain that put into place policies that destroyed industries in the North of England, buddied up with Reagan's world policeman mentality, violently opposed to the Irish Republican movement (because how dare Catholics in Ulster think they have Civil Rights?) and play a hand in extending violence in the North for a decade longer than it would've otherwise lasted, demolishing social conditions in the country, and ushering in the war against worker's rights and unfettered endorsements of finance capital, then that's up to you.
I for one, would take a loudmouth homophobe who had no real influence outside of the hundred or so crazies who were in his congregation. Any day of the week.
Well, Mr. Flawless, anyone who can serve as Prime Minister for 11 consecutive years, winning three straight majority election mandates from the people must be doing something right.
That's, uh, some interesting logic there...
