The Resume

    (1959- )
    Resides in Pontre Verda Beach, Florida
    Founder of the anti-abortion group Operation Rescue (1987)
    Spokesperson for Terry Schiavo's parents

Why he might be annoying:

    After NOW filed a class-action suit to force anti-abortion leaders to compensate clinics for lost business, he agreed to an out-of-court settlement and then quickly filed for bankruptcy to avoid paying up.
    He solicited funds on his personal web page, claiming pro-choice groups 'have stripped me of everything I owned.'
    When he posted the message, he was making a down payment on a $432,000 house (2003).
    Also at that time, a court ruled that he had not paid his full share of child support to his first wife.
    He was censured by Landmark Church for 'repeated and sinful relationships with both single and married women.'
    He said, 'If a Christian voted for Clinton, he sinned against God. It's that simple.'
    He said of doctors who perform abortions, 'When I, or people like me, are running the country, you'd better flee, because we will find you, we will try you and we will execute you' (1995).
    He is estranged from his adopted son Jamiel, who came out of the closet as a homosexual, and his adopted daughter Tila, who became pregnant out of wedlock.
    He claimed he cut off his son not because of his homosexuality but because of his betrayal of the family's privacy. He then noted 'my son's life is a shambles' and backed up this assertion by revealing details of Jamiel's private life.

Why he might not be annoying:

    At its height, Operation Rescue was the largest civil disobedience movement since the 60s heyday of the civil rights movement.
    He lost much of his political influence after his messy divorce.
    He adopted the three children of a prostitute he talked out of getting an abortion.
