This should be fun to see you all bat this around a bit.

Here's the list and the basic reason given. Click the link to read more.
1. Andrew Jackson - infamous hater of American Indians
2. Harry S. Truman - the vaporizer of two Japanese cities
3. William McKinley - ordered U.S. forces to put down a Filipino revolt, killed many thousands
4. Ronald Reagan - thought AIDS was a problem just for the gays
5. Andrew Johnson - racist slave owner who considered African Americans lesser humans

Don't take it personal that no one has posted in your thread yet. Most of them are busy batting each others penis around.

Evil is a pretty big term to apply to pretty much any president so far. I certainly would not apply it to any on that list!

I think he who wrote that piece does not understand nor has ever seen real evil.

Not sure I can go along with evil either but fuck Andrew Jackson for the Trail of Tears atrocities and being a turncoat.

He's buried in Nashville, if you need to stop for a piss.

Aside from the assassination Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play?

Research the Tallussahatchee Massacre and Battle of Talladega. I have done so rather extensively since I was a kid because it interests me so much.

Some of the first hand accounts turned my stomach. It changed my opinion of men like Davy Crockett and John Coffee, who are often held in high esteem across the south. But the buck stopped with Andrew Jackson, rest assured. His idea and his campaign.

Not saying he or any of these other men did not do some good. Of course they did. We are all good and bad.

But, fuck Andrew Jackson and his horse.

George Bush and his evil Katrina weather machine didn't make the cut?

I try but since I know the Six was being serious I will be more specific.

The two largest ones that come to mind are invading a sovereign country and the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus.

"Jackson should stay on the $20 bill, because he had a history of tremendous success for the country." - Donald Trump

Trump's idea of "tremendous success" is apparently different than most rational human beings.
