Ron Paul.I don't agree with much of his politics but every now and then he does have smart ideas. Reading through his political positions is pretty much "no, no, yes, NOOO!, yes, maybe, no,..."
Bill O'Reilly. He may say some incredibly dumb things, but I cheered when he defended JC Penny's use of Ellen as a spokeswoman.

Reading through his political positions is pretty much "no, no, yes, NOOO!, yes, maybe, no,..."Ron Paul is probably the poster child for this. Rand is too, to a lesser extent. He's right about the drone strike policy and the Patriot Act, but goes way off the deep end on many other issues.
Dan Quayle. For all the mockery he got for criticizing Murphy Brown's single mother status, he turned out to have a point.
EDIT: Aaaand my 10,000th post is about fascism, Plato, and gay sex. This is clearly a great accomplishment.

No, that single parenthood can be harmful to a child's development.

Also, and that this was during a speech on the LA Riots. Seriously, it sounded like a huge non sequitur at the time.
You know, I think this thread needs an antithesis thread. Like, stuff that pisses you off about people you normally agree with.
Humanity does learn from history,sadly, they're rarely the ones in power.
Life is too damned short for the concept of “guilty” pleasures to have any meaning.
