It's interesting to see which historic figures are despised the most (at this forum, at least!).  I'm not including obvious joke votes, but am including posts where someone says "+1000" or words to that effect.  Here they are, in order (as of 329 responses).

At #1, the person whose removal from history would benefit humanity more than that of anyone else is:

(drum roll)

Ronald Reagan

The rest:

#2:  Adolph Hitler

#3:  Various members of the Bush family

#4: (tie):  Adam, Constantine, the Apostle Paul
#7: (tie):  Abraham, Milton Friedman
#9: (tie):  Lee Harvey Oswald, Ayn Rand, James Earl Ray, Phyllis Schlafly, Joseph Stalin
#14: (tie):  Dick Cheney, Jesus Christ, Christopher Columbus, Oliver Cromwell, JC Bancroft Davis, Franz Ferdinand, Muhammed, Richard Nixon, Gavrilo Princip, George Washington

Bringing up the rear and fighting it out for 23rd place with a single vote each are:

Edward Bernays, John Wilkes Booth, Johnathan Edwards, Thomas Edison, Alexander Hamilton, Katherine Harris, Rush Limbaugh, Gengis Kahn, the father of the Koch Brothers, Vladimir Lenin, Moses, Thomas Midgley, Grover Norquist, Sarah Palin, Mitchell Palmer, Pol Pot, Maximilien de Robespierre, Joseph Smith, Theodosius, Theophilus of Alexandria, Hong Xiuquan, Mao Zedong
