You know, sometimes I wonder if the chasm between conservatives and liberals can ever be bridged, because I can't begin to fathom the moral calculus that posits Bill Clinton as a worse figure in American history than Timothy McVeigh. Not to mention Ted Bundy and Charles Manson. What on Earth is going on here?!

Of course, being less snarky, it could be that people don't normally think of individuals like Manson and McVeigh as historical figures, so much as persons who achieved notoriety in isolated incidents. But since the list includes both, I just don't feel like being that charitable.
