-racism
-homophobia
-denying the holocaust
-torturing Algerians
-physically assaulting political rivals

You list some relevant issues, but I would think the hat pretty much puts him the douchebag category, no?

I'm not sure I would have thought of him first (since as he has no power and never will have, his douchebagness is in no way affecting our world and life or death of people), but he deserves to be there for sure
I remember a few years ago when he came to where I live for his campaign, people would gather in the airport and not let the plane land. Now they just vote for him
As for him making it to 2nd round again, it would be sad but I wouldn't be surprised. Even if Sarkozy is playing with the same cards than Le Pen and probably stealing a few votes, this man has a very loyal fanbase, and he is also very clever at acting like he's the good guy. Lots of people get fooled. Plus I don't really see the number of racist and ignorant people decreasing
We'll see tomorrow

If America had a multi-party system, I can guarantee you that we would also see some real whack-jobs carry elections, and probably by huge margins. Every country has it's fringe.
