Who was the worst traitor in U.S. history?

Many possibilities: Aldrich Ames, the Rosenbergs, or Benedict Arnold himself. My nominee is Harry Dexter White.

quote: 1. White was the real author of the Morgenthau plan to "turn Germany into a potato field," which when leaked, united non-Nazis with Nazis, stiffened resistance, and prolonged the war.
2. White used his position in the Treasury Department to develop a hostile U.S. policy toward Japan. The reason was to distract Japan from their plans to attack the Soviet Union and draw the U.S. into the war as an ally with the Soviet Union.
3. White was the author of an extreme ultimatum that Japan could not comply with in the days just prior to the attack on Pearl Harbor.
4. White delayed financial support mandated by law to Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalist Chinese government causing the triumph of Mao Tse-Tung's Communist Chinese government.
5. White was instrumental in handing over the Allied Military mark printing plates to the Soviets. This caused a $250,000,000 deficit in the occupational government budget paid out by the U.S. Treasury. This in effect amounted to the US taxpayer paying the salaries of Soviet occupation troops at a time when US/Soviet relations were deteriorating precisely because of the presence and behavior of Soviet occupation forces in Eastern Europe.

Ed Snowden is pretty high up there, top 10 material for sure

When whistleblowers release information that shows the government is acting illegally, they should be protected under the law. Indeed - if that's all they do, they are heros.

Ed Snowden revealed much more than illegal activity. Much of what he revealed was methods for legal NSA activity. Being a whistleblower doesn't entitle you to do as you please with regards to other secret information. For that he is a traitor - and for taking refuge in Russia, he is a coward and defector.

I'd like to see Snowden put in with the general population at Leavenworth, make him Manning's cell mate.

The ends justify the means...in your small mind.

And yet, you claim to despise leftists...too funny and most hypocritical.

You need to recognize you are lacking knowledge.

You do know that Lincoln didn't start the war right?

Not very familiar with history are you? The ends always justify the means......every time.

Why confuse the issue with historical fact?

Branding Abraham Lincoln a traitor? You go too far. I understand he did expand the power of the Federal government greatly to preserve our great nation. One wonders what turn world history would have taken had he not been successful.

Hard to believe that some nobody on the internet can call a great American a traitor, but that is free speech.

Although Lincoln did not start the war, the re-supplying of Fort Sumner maneuvered the South into firing the first shot. If the South really wanted to have their own country they would have not fired on Fort Sumter and picked a different capital than Richmond.

Oh just the US? Was gonna say Paul from the NT for taking a Jewish idea and making it not-Jewish (i.e. Christian.) :)
 
Well, at the very top of the list is the exalted idol of purveyors of the gay bathhouses, in and around Chicago..........Barry "buttboy" Soetero. Any other traitor pales in comparison to the Illinois Hoover.

Since Lincoln is one of our most honored presidents yours is not a prevalent opinion. In fact it is wacko.

I have a question;

If George W. Bush were found to have suspended habeas corpus, would you call him a traitor?

If George W. Bush were found to have arrested and imprisoned reporters who wrote articles critical of him, would you call him a traitor?

If George W. Bush were found to have placed military troops in front of the Supreme Court to block justices from convining, would you call him a traitor?

If George W. Bush were found to have barricaded the capitol to keep congress out of session, would you call him a traitor?

If George W. Bush were found to have used naval ships to deliberately shell and kill civilians in New York City, would you call him a traitor?

Because Abraham Lincoln did ALL of these things.
