The New Humanist Bad Faith Awards 2011
OP - September 14, 2011, 06:43 AM

.. are taking nominations here:

Before the voting opens later this year, we need to put together a shortlist of nominees, which is why I'm inviting you to share your nominations by commenting on this post. It's not as though 2011 has been a stand-out year for rationality, as a quick scroll down our blog, or a flick through some of our recent back issues, highlights. Just looking at our last few issues, I'm seeing a few potential champions – there's past nominee Anjem Choudary with his attempt to set up "Sharia Controlled Zones" in the UK, for example, or evangelical US preacher Pat Robertson, who suggested that New York's legalisation of gay marriage could mean the end of American civilisation. And no doubt some of you will be looking to nominate the Conservative MP Nadine Dorries following her failed efforts to impose a ban on abortion providers offering counselling to women seeking their services, as well as for introducing legislation that would lead to abstinence-based sex education for girls.

Before it gets too late, you will find escape.

I voted for Nadine Dorries, myself. She's more dangerous than old Anjem, partly because she's actually an MP, and one who repeatedly lies about her own fundamentalist backers at that.

I went with Rick Perry. That prayer rally… followed by situations getting even WORSE! Fucker provoked the non–existent god into acts of further malignancy!

My favourite abortion-hatin', creative-expense-makin', stalker-cryin'* truth-teller of the year** and MP's responses to the nomination have since put her into the lead. Good for her.

I have to second that!
