This Halloween marks the 5th Annual Late H. Lee Atwater Award for Conservative Evil

[MrScorpio]

And this year will be a doozy.

As you know, the desiccated corpse of the Late H. Lee Atwater will rise from his grave at midnight on Halloween to hand the award for most evil conservative to the one that you choose here in GD. Voting will begin at midnight on All Hallows Eve.

It promises to be a big occasion with a veritable GLUT of bad conservative actors.

In previous years, I've had the award for "Republican" evil… This year there will be a change to "Conservative" to be a bit more accurate in the description.


I'm taking nominees right now… Who do you think best represents the worst of American Conservatism?

Categories will be judges in the political, media and all other arenas.

Give me names, folks… Nominate the worst!

1. This year it's a tie: Scott Walker and the Koch Bros.

But Limbaugh gets the special lifetime Golden Douchebag award.

[MrScorpio]

3. They're in!

Walker in the Political category and the Kochs for the All Other one.

Great noms, thanks!

[Initech]

4. Can I also nominate Ted Nugent in the racist redneck category?

[MrScorpio]

7. He's in...

But since I don't have a "racist redneck" category, I'll put him in All Other

[Myrina]

2. Cheney. Always Cheney.

The Koch's
Snot Walker
Rush Limbaugh
the "let him die" debate guy
the GA court that wouldn't stay Troy Davis' execution
the GOP debate audience that heckled the gay soldier

on
and on
and on

[MrScorpio]

5. Cheney's a previous champion

He's in this year as well.

Walker, GA Court = Political

Limpbags = Media

Let Him Die and GOP Debate audience hecklers should be combined in one All Other nom. I think. How do you feel about that?

6. Don't forget the gurrrrls:

Annthrax Coultergeist
Michelle Bachmann
Caribou Barbie

[MrScorpio]

9. Noted and added

Anorexia Annie = Media

Batshit Crazy = Political

Grifterella = Political

[Initech]

11. In the female category I'd also nominate Meg Whitman and what's-her-name from Fox&Friends

[MrScorpio]

12. Should I have a Female category?

With Batshit, Grifterella, Anorexia and Whitman, who else is there?

A total of ten would be worth it.

[SpiralHawk]

8. "Are you ready for some ConservaWhack-Job hate-and-fear?" - Hank, Jr. (R - Fear Freak)

[MrScorpio]

10. He'll be in All Other with The Nuge

They can pull each others knobs.

[monmouth]

13. Mitch McConnel or that other idiot from VA...n/t

[MrScorpio]

14. Both are In

You'll find them in the Political categories

Thanks

[Initech]

15. Rand Paul

[jmowreader]

16. I'm going for Rick Scott...

"You have to get tested for drugs to draw public assistance...oh, and my wife owns all the drug testing labs in the state."

Scott Walker, the Koch Brothers and Chris Christie are definite contendahs, though.

[MrScorpio]

17. Adding Christie to the mix

You're on!

18. Ron Paul deserves an Atwater award.

He may not be the most evil conservative,but he is strategically Atwaters equal.
