Please submit your nominees for the 15th Annual Late H. Lee Atwater Award for Right Wing Evil

[Mr. Scorpio]

GREETings, my lovelies... As you ALL know, HALLOWEEN IS COMING... and NOTHING can stop it. Not the RWNJs in Congress, not a perpetually stupid 40% of America, it's coming and you better prepare.



How are all of you Creepers and Creepettes, as well as all of you non-binary Creepy Types doing this fine Halloween Season? This post is to announce that it's time once again, to submit your nominees for the Late H. Lee Atwater Award for Right Wing Evil! It's the FIFTEENTH year of this proud DU tradition. I'm sure that you can't wait to vote for your favorite evilest of winger or wingers.

As is tradition, the award thread will be posted on Halloween Eve, also know as DEVIL'S NIGHT, right here in GD. I'm sure that some of you are chomping at the bit to SUBMIT the names of your favorite right wing asshole or assholes. Especially since there are so many to choose from. In the years where we've had an abundance of names that were too big for one poll, we had a play-off round poll and a championship round poll to pick the overall winner.

I'd love to see that happen this year as well...


Also, we'll be declaring the recipient of the Eighth Annual Richard Bruce "Dick" Cheney Lifetime Achievement Award for Right Wing Evil. Past recipients consisted of Bruce "Dick" Cheney, "Pig Boy" Rush Limbaugh, Karl "Svengali" Rove, Bill "Rapey" O'Reilly, Steve "America's Most Racist Congressman" King and Addison Mitchell "Moscow Yertle" McConnell.

This year's recipient is none other than Tucker "Fucker" Carlson. So, make sure to submit your seconds and thirds, so that he gets the Golden Dick, if you'd like.



Now dig in deep, dearies, light a candle and get your nominations on, because it's that time of year that we all love...

1. Uh...all of them?

It seems like a group award is in order this year.

[Mr. Scorpio]

2. HEY!! Save some for everybody else

3. Is there a place we can look up past "winners"?

I mean, it'd be a pity to nominate William F. Buckley only to find out he'd already won it sometime in the awards first couple of years.

4. The posts are all dated on either the 30th or 31st Oct of every year. You can check the archives.

5. Hard to beat *ucker Carlson.

For 2nd, Moscow Mitch McConnell deserves a special place of dishonor.

Finally, Ron DeathSentence narrowly beats out Greg Abbott for 3rd.

6. Okay, let's play with this

"The Family that Slays Together, Stays Together" award goes to the Trumps: Donald John, Donald Junior, Eric, Ivanka and Jared Kushner

The "Wasteful Government Spending is The Worst Sin of All, Except When I Order It" award goes to Karen Fann, president of the Arizona State Senate, for hiring the Cyber Ninjas to render the 2020 election ballots in Maricopa County unusable...and for eventually proving the initial vote count that gave President Biden the state was indeed correct.

The "They Have a Funny Way of Showing Their Patriotism" award goes to the Trump minions who, on January 6, committed high treason by waging war against the United States to attempt to overturn a settled election, and then called themselves patriotic for doing it.

The "You Don't Get to Pick Out Which Parts of your Oath You're Going to Obey" award goes to the Oath Keepers, who were also a large part of the Capitol insurrection.

The "Whoever Wrote the 1st Amendment is Currently Spinning In His Grave" award goes to three groups: One America News Network, who invents new atrocities that Biden was supposed to have committed; Newsmax TV, who does the same thing just slightly less vigorously; and the "First Amendment Auditor" community who believes they can "root out the corruption in government" by standing there filming the lobby of a post office until the cops arrive.

The "I'd buy a Hitler watercolor before I spent a nickel on this shit" award goes to Jon McNaughton, extremist right-wing painter. One of his latest is "The Spirit of 2024" which is a parody of the famous painting "The Spirit of 1776" which has a fifer and two drummers marching with a flag...except in McNaughton's version the three figures are Trump, Candace Owens and Dinesh d'Souza and President Biden is lying on the ground dead.

The "Finish your Christmas shopping early, kids" award goes to "Moscow" Mitch McConnell, Senate Minority Leader, who has announced he's going to kill any Supreme Court nomination President Biden advances, even though none yet need to be made and McConnell is currently in the minority in Congress.

The "Internet trolling is not a useful career" award goes to Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene, who do nothing else all day. You'd think they could at least name a post office or something so it kinda looks like they work.

The "there are more suitable first jobs" award goes to Madison Cawthorn. The less said about him, the better.

The "I invent government agencies, dahlink" award goes to Russian-born antimask troll Lenka Koloma, creator of the "Freedom to Breathe Agency."

7. Wow, you've been studying on this - Great job!

I'd just like to mention that Jared Kushner deserves a special award for garnering a $2 Billion Dollar loan from the Arabs even a year after any connection to the White House. That must have taken some major league ass-kissing, and I'm not sure how he did it with that little mouth of his.

8. I nominate actor formerly known as FACEBOOK

They're pure evil at this point and clearly RW.

9. Bannon, McConnell, Orange Menace. nt
