Worst in American History...

Right Wing News asked both Left and Right Wing blogs to choose the 20 worst figures in American History.
Here are the top tens. As you look at these top tens tell me which list is more questionable.

The Left top ten worst are:
1) Joseph McCarthy (26)
2) Richard Nixon (25)
3) J. Edgar Hoover (16)
3) Nathan Bedford Forrest (16)
3) Timothy McVeigh (16)
6) John Wilkes Booth (14)
6) Henry Kissinger (14)
6) Benedict Arnold (14)
9) George W. Bush (13)
9) Jefferson Davis (13)
11) Andrew Jackson (12)
12) George Wallace (10)
13) Ronald Reagan (9)
14) Strom Thurmond (8)
14) Charles Coughlin (8)
14) Lee Harvey Oswald (8)
14) Richard Mellon Scaife (8)
18) Robert McNamara (7)
18) George Lincoln Rockwell (7)
(Rush Limbaugh had 5 votes)

The Right Wing top ten worst are:
1) The Rosenbergs (15) & Julius Rosenberg (5)
2) Benedict Arnold (19)
3) Bill Clinton (15)
4) Jimmy Carter (14)
4) Jesse Jackson (14)
6) Noam Chomsky (13)
7) Alger Hiss (12)
8) John Wilkes Booth (10)
8) Hillary Clinton (10)
8) Lyndon Johnson (10)
8) Timothy McVeigh (10)
12) Charles Manson (9)
12) Al Sharpton (9)
14) Aaron Burr (8)
14) Richard Nixon (8)
16) Aldrich Ames (7)
(Michael Moore had 5 votes)

On both lists note that murderers like Timothy McVeigh and Charles Manson aren't considered as bad as some American Presidents.
On the Right Wing list I have no idea why Carter is there. He may not have been a great president but calling him worse than Charles Manson or George Lincoln Rockwell (American Nazi party founder) is odd.
The Right Wing list has a lot of people the Right hate - like the Clintons, Jesse Jackson, Noam Chomsky and Al Sharpton - but these are not really bad characters. The Left list is certainly more historical although I'm not sure George W is that bad...yet.
