Time to announce the winner of the 15th Annual Late H. Lee Atwater Award for Right Wing Evil

[Mr. Scorpio]

Arisen from his dank and depressing grave in South Cakalaka at the toll of the Halloween Midnight bell, we now present the rotting and desiccated corpse of The Late H. Lee Atwater…



"Good Eeeevenging, to those you who are still in the land of the living. Welcome to this celebration of Right Wing Eeeevil. Let's get this over with, so I can go back to moldering and rotting in my grave, shall we?

"You breathers have spoken... With an overwhelming, grand total of 39 of your votes, from my cold, dead hands, this year's the Late H. Lee Atwater Award for Right Wing Evil goes to a horrid creature for his THIRD time around the gravestone, the one and only, Addison Mitchell "Moscow Yertle" McConnell

"He truly is a piece of work indeed. .




"It is also my esteemed displeasure to give the Eighth Annual Richard Bruce "Dick" Cheney Lifetime Achievement Award for Right Wing Evil, to one Tucker "Fucker" Carlson, for being one all-around Nazi-assed dick on the TV tubes, and a whole lot more.

‘Tucker Must Go’: Carlson Endorses Neo-Nazi Conspiracy Theory On Air

Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the Anti-Defamation League, called on Friday morning for the firing of Fox News host Tucker Carlson, after Carlson embraced the white nationalist "replacement" conspiracy theory on Thursday night.

"Now, I know that the left and all the little gatekeepers on Twitter become literally hysterical if you use the term 'replacement,' if you suggest that the Democratic Party is trying to replace the current electorate, the voters now casting ballots, with new people, more obedient voters from the Third World," Carlson said during an appearance on Fox News Primetime. "But they become hysterical because that's what's happening actually. Let's just say it: That's true."

"And that's just a taste. Any in depth examination of this evil troll will reveal much, much worse. He's a well deserved recipient.

But, I will now retire once again to my clammy grave until this time next year. Have a safe and HAPPY HALLOWEEN, all of you breathers!"

1. Although it is an annual award and my consideration for vote should reflect that ,

I couldn’t see past his recent and current displays of hate . At the moment he is the supreme right wing evil imo so he got my vote . He deserves this award and
so much more

2. that ridiculous "Republican Creed" on Atwater's grave

should be REPUBLICAN GREED

[Polybius]

3. I'm not even sure Atwater would be a Republican today

Before he died at age 40, he repented somewhat, even apologizing to Michael Dukakis for the "naked cruelty" of the 1988 presidential election campaign.

7. The reason he is so reviled today is that it took a death sentence from cancer to make him repent

It was awful, it was painful, and he knew that Death and Judgment were coming for him. In terror, he finally felt remorse for the horrible things he had done.

One suspects that had he remained in robust health, none of those insights would have come to him, and he would have continued his truly evil ways.

9. Ed Rollins refutes his "turn around" and stated that Atwater was unrepentant to the very end.

6. Atwater's grave is a waste of good bronze and pink marble.

Even his Republican Creed contains a good dose of hypocrisy: They choose not to be a common man, yet refuse to represent the interests of the common man, rarely associate or rub shoulders with the common man, constantly lie to deceive the common man and constantly insult the intelligence of the common man and woman.

Perhaps we should have a different one just for the real most evil right-wingers: those thousands of very wealthy psychopaths that fund the GOP and right-wing propaganda machine yet stay hidden from public view, such as the Mercers, Murdochs and Koch family.

Mr. Scorpio, thanks for assembling and posting this annual event.......

8. Thank you, Mr Scorpio, for your hard work

One of these days Widdle Pucker will join Atwater in the grave, though I doubt he will ever repent.
