where is the guy from verizon that switched to sprint? He should be number 1

Someone switched from political party? That's not traitory, that's just democracy.

When I hear the word "traitor" the last thing that would ever come to mind would be someone switching political parties.

“Top Ten Traitors In History” Yet they don’t mention General Sheperd...

You forgot Prometheus, he betrayed Zeus and gave the gift of fire to mankind. That's a pretty important event.

Big smoke from GTA

Why isn’t Anakin Skywalker here mans literally killed younglings

The most notorious traitor is Ephialtes dude he betrayed the greek positions to the persians

My Ex.

judas did it to buy battlefield 3 on release day but was overcome with grief because it was bad and price dropped to an affordable 8.50 silvers within a month.

Brutus and Judas.... History's greatest betrayers of JC and the other famous JC had names that rhymed!

If "Mir Jafar" is not in this list, then it is no list.

skipping over the whole Judas thing, really Lieberman? how is he a traitor? what to his political party? what because he actually changed his mind this makes him a traitor? I don't agree with him, but he is a very odd choice to be on this list

I'm no fan of Lieberman, but isn't it a little extreme to put him on this list?

3:59 “Released information to Russia and the Soviet Union.” Wait, those were 2 different countries back then? No.

Mata Hari never provided, according to recent studies, the germans with any valuable information.

paul from verizon😐

A guy switched political parties? Hardly should be on the top ten list of traitors.

"We started out with too much cargo, so I'm glad we got rid of Benedict Arnold." -Americans back then.

Suge Knight should have been on this list he betrayed Tupac

Please not Edward Snowden at the top. please not Edward Snowden at top.

So the number one traitor in history is a fictional character?

“Top 10 traitors of history, Number 1, Italy.”

Lieberman wasn’t exactly deserving of this list in my opinion

Putting Joe Lieberman on that list is ridiculous here's why: he's an Independent therefore he endorses who he thinks is the best candidate regardless of party and could in theory end up on the Republican side as the Vice President

One man's traitor is another man's freedom fighter.. it depends on who wins the war.

Severus Snape he prepared everything for the fall of the dark lord

Big smoke , Ryder :Am i joke to you?

It's strange how there only traitors if they weren't on the good guys team

Where's Peter Pettigrew?

Walder frey of GOT was the biggest traitor who made fans cry!!!

We all know it's going to be Judas

Where is FN-2187?!

Top 1 is FN-2187

Mata hari’s last words were “A harlot yes but a traitor never” When she was shot by the firing squad she wasn’t killed while she laid there dying an officer walked up and waited for her to struggle and suffer then shot her in the head.

My dog when he goes to my brother instead of me

traitors to one's political party should not have been in this list.

TRAITOR! *takes a futuristic sword and turns around*

Eren Jaeger: TrAItOrs Also Eren Jaeger: Oh WaIT, I’m OnE

what about the guy who betrayed leonidas and his 300 spartans

Mata Hari was around 40 when the French shot her. There is a lot of evidence that she was framed, as the war was going badly and she made the perfect scapegoat. The trial took attention away from the real issues. There was never enough real evidence, so it if difficult to know if she was a German spy. She was a spy for France. She refused a mask and blew kisses to the firing squad. So we can say she died bravely.

Good old Guy Fawkes - commonly referred to as the only man to ever enter parliament with honest intentions and the means to carry them out...

You missed Arminius, the German who betrayed Rome causing the disaster of Teutoburg forest, 9bc

My top traitor of history: George Washington. He betrayed the crown. I'm ready for your rage.

I don't even like Lieberman and I don't think he should have been on this list! To put him on the same list of traitors as Benedict Arnold, Brutus, and Judas is just stupid!

*Number 1:* that one player that switched to the winning team

Where's shay cormac. He should be #1

Guy fawkes wasn't a traitor he was a rebel, big difference.

Just saying but #10 really isn't the definition of a traitor... he's more of a man who cant seem to pick a side

I just bet 20 dollars with my friend that Judas would be first. Easy money

I knew Judas would be number 1 when they said they would consider biblical figures

You can't be traitor by going against your once chosen political party like Liberman. It's your country where the loyalty should lie not a political party. That's one of the biggest problems in Washington today

Traitors should be reserved to people who betray their nation not political party.

It was without a doubt that Judas was the most well known traitor.

Kevin Durant easily number 1 now

Drinking game: take a shot for every uneducated comment. Let's see who dies first!

How do you know if a Chinese person broke into your house ? Your homework is done, your computer is fixed, and their still trying to back out of your drive way .. 😛Lol

Dishonorable mentions: kgb agents and people who blew up places #10: endorsed someone from the opposite party

"Most famous pilots in history: the Wright Brothers, Amelia Earhart, Santa Claus..."

I'm going to take a guess. I'll say that #1 is Judas

Anakin skywalker

I knew I would see Italy somewhere in here

Ummmm PETER PETTIGREW!!!!!! Where's that filthy rat?!?!?!

Why is Mussolini a traitor? Seizing power is not betrayal. And it's King Emmanuel changed side in WW2, not him

Without "Mir Zafar" the list is incomplete.. He is the reason that the British ruled over 200 years on Indian sub-continent.

General Shepherd should be #1

You forgot the "can you hear me now" guy, from the Verizon commercials.

Number 1 should be Finn

“Russia and the Soviet Union”

You know the ones that deserve the top spots are the ones which now names are synonyms for traitor.

0/10, FN-2187 isn't on this list.

Stauffenberg has to be a honorable mention.

Judas? Didn't realise fictional characters were included.

Where the hell is Darth Vader???

Lance Vance from GTA Vice City, or Big Smoke and Rider from GTA San Andreas, or Franklin from GTA 5 if he chooses A or B endings.

Guy Fawkes wasn't a traitor. He was just an uprising man against the monarchy.

You did not mentioned mir zafar who betrayed in battle of plassey

Traitor #1 the person who ate my food I was saving in the fridge

I got a AD that is about betrayal for top 10 historical traitors, pretty ironic.

Where is Mir Zafar for which our United country of India suffer for 190 years.love from Bangladesh.

you could have included Efialtes. his name still means nightmare here in Greece, and for good reason. he was the spartan who led the persians to flank the greek army in the battle of Thermopylae. apart from the movie's portayal of the battle, its strategic details are indeed accurate. it was a move that made it possible for a vast army to finally beat 300 Spartans and 700 Thespians.

I'd like to make a note that at the end of the section with Benedict Arnold the person swinging from the end of the rope was not Arnold but Major Andre the English conspirator with Arnold. Benedict Arnold lived out his days in England after the war.

You forgot Efialtis,the mother****r who betrayed the Greeks during the Thermoplyles fight.That's why those 300 Spartans died,cause of him.And that's my son,is history.

where’s tekashi?

Traitors from history, yet the number 1 isn't even a historical character.

You missed Jane Fonda! She went to North Vietnam and put on a uniform of the enemy then she manned an antiaircraft gun, waiting for American aircraft to come along so she could shoot at them. This was highly publicized at the time and it certainly fits the constitutional definition of aiding the enemy in time of war. Why has she never been arrested for this?

Mata Hari - it is still debated if she was actually a German Spy. She worked for the French at one point and new had access to any sensitive information. The French did not allow her to present a defense and never had any evidence against her. Putting her on this list is grossly misleading.

Switching political parties is not the same as being a traitor to a country.

Rosenbergs how the hell can you forget them.

You already lost me at number 10. In what way is a senator switching parties considered traitorous enough to be in the TOP 10 IN THE ENTIRE HISTORY OF THE WORLD? Jfc

Sound have been the whole country of Italy, they switched sides in both world wars

Benedict Arnold was never caught or executed. He ended up living in England. That hanging portrayed was someone else.

Do an arsenal fans version of this.

guy fawkes is a hero and not a traitor

Number 1.the dad's who say "see you next decade"

You didn't mention Ephialtes the man who betrayed the 300 and King Leonidas.

hard to believe they put Lieberman on this list.
