She frequently appears on television, radio, and as a speaker at public and private events. Well-known for her right-wing political opinions and the controversial ways in which she defends them, Coulter has described herself as a polemicist who likes to "stir up the pot" and, unlike "broadcasters," does not "pretend to be impartial or balanced."4/9/2010http://www.evilscale.com/evilscale/vote.aspx?nomineeid=550http://www.evilscale.com/evilscale/vote.aspx?nomineeid=544Major Nidal Malik Hasan is a Palestinian-American military psychiatrist who is the sole suspect in the Fort Hood shooting, and is currently hospitalized at Brooke Army Medical Center at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio, Texas under heavy guard. On November 12, 2009, Hasan was charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder. He is accused of opening fire in the Soldier Readiness Center of Fort Hood, killing 13 people and wounding 30 others on November 5, 2009. Hasan had come to the attention of federal authorities at least six months before the attacks, because of internet postings he appeared to have made discussing suicide bombings and other threats. Army employees were informed of this information (and other emails) but no threat was perceived as this was judged to be consistent with mental health research about Muslims in the armed services.11/23/2009http://www.evilscale.com/evilscale/vote.aspx?nomineeid=544http://www.evilscale.com/evilscale/vote.aspx?nomineeid=538Nadya Suleman is an American woman who came to international attention when she gave birth to octuplets in January 2009. The Suleman octuplets are only the second full set of octuplets to be born alive in the United States and, one week after their birth, surpassed the previous worldwide survival rate for a complete set of octuplets set by the Chukwu octuplets in 1998. The circumstances of their high order multiple birth have led to controversy in the field of assisted reproductive technology as well as an investigation by the Medical Board of California of the fertility specialist involved. Public reaction turned negative when it was discovered that the single mother already had six other young children at home at the time and was not financially independent. Suleman, who was unemployed and on public assistance programs at the time, conceived the octuplets and her six older children via in-vitro fertilization (IVF) with the participation of a male friend who provided donor sperm and is the biological father.3/31/2009http://www.evilscale.com/evilscale/vote.aspx?nomineeid=538http://www.evilscale.com/evilscale/vote.aspx?nomineeid=532Derek Smart is the president and lead developer of 3000AD, Inc., a video game developer based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He is an independent video game designer and software developer, and the creator of the Battlecruiser 3000AD and Universal Combat video game series.

He was overthrown in a military coup in 1955. He returned to power in 1973 and served for nine months, until his death in 1974. Peron and his second wife, Eva, were immensely popular among many Argentinians, and to this day they are still considered icons by the Peronist Party. The Perons' followers praised their efforts to eliminate poverty and to dignify labor, while their detractors considered them demagogues and dictators. The Perons gave their name to the political movement known as peronismo, which in present-day Argentina is represented mainly by the Justicialist Party.4/1/2010http://www.evilscale.com/evilscale/vote.aspx?nomineeid=529http://www.evilscale.com/evilscale/vote.aspx?nomineeid=526Manfred von Richthofen was a German fighter pilot known as "The Red Baron". He was the most successful flying ace of World War I, being officially credited with 80 confirmed air combat victories though that total may be as high as 100, and enjoying a hero status in Germany. Richthofen was an expert marksman that rarely engaged in risky tactics that often got others killed (ironically he was engaging in such behavior when he himself was killed). He was also a fine combat tactician and squadron leader. It is also significant that while Richthofen's early victories and the establishment of his reputation coincided with a period of German air superiority, the majority of his successes were achieved against a numerically superior enemy, who were flying fighter aircraft that were on the whole better than his own.1/20/2009http://www.evilscale.com/evilscale/vote.aspx?nomineeid=526http://www.evilscale.com/evilscale/vote.aspx?nomineeid=525Hermann Goring was a German politician, military leader and a leading member of the Nazi Party. Among many offices, he was Hitler's designated successor and commander of the German Air Force. With twenty-two confirmed kills as a fighter pilot, he was a veteran of the First World War and recipient of the coveted Pour le Mérite ("The Blue Max"). Following the end of the Second World War, Goring was convicted of war crimes and crimes against humanity at the Nuremberg Trials. He was sentenced to death by hanging, but committed suicide the night before he was due to be hanged. 1/19/2009http://www.evilscale.com/evilscale/vote.aspx?nomineeid=525http://www.evilscale.com/evilscale/vote.aspx?nomineeid=523Oswald Mosley was an English politician and a fascist. He served in the House of Commons (1918 – 31) as, successively, a Conservative, an Independent, and a Labourite. After a visit to Italy, he founded the British Union of Fascists in 1932. With his followers, he distributed anti-Semitic propaganda, conducted hostile demonstrations in the Jewish sections of eastern London, and wore Nazi-style uniforms. During World War II he was interned (1940 – 43) with his wife, Diana Guinness, a sister of Jessica and Nancy Mitford and friend of Adolf Hitler. In 1948 Mosley founded the Union Movement, an amalgam of right-wing book clubs.3/24/2009http://www.evilscale.com/evilscale/vote.aspx?nomineeid=523http://www.evilscale.com/evilscale/vote.aspx?nomineeid=519Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn was a Russian novelist, dramatist and historian.

He returned to Russia in 1994.1/24/2009http://www.evilscale.com/evilscale/vote.aspx?nomineeid=519http://www.evilscale.com/evilscale/vote.aspx?nomineeid=518Roland Burris is a Democratic American politician and former statewide officer in the U.S. state of Illinois. Burris served as Comptroller of Illinois from 1979 to 1991 and as Attorney General of Illinois from 1991 to 1995. On December 30, 2008, Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich announced he was naming Burris to fill the seat in the United States Senate vacated weeks earlier by President-elect Barack Obama. Questions were raised about whether Blagojevich's action was legitimate and if Burris should be seated, in the wake of Blagojevich's arrest on multiple corruption charges. 1/10/2009http://www.evilscale.com/evilscale/vote.aspx?nomineeid=518
