It’s a close race for the prize, which is given “for shrill, hyperbolic, divisive and intemperate right-wing rhetoric.” As of this writing, Rep. Steve Stockman (R-TX) is narrowly ahead, earning 29.36% of the vote for this rant:
Democrats do not want abortion to be safe or rare. Democrats oppose even the most basic of health and safety standards for abortion mills. Democrats don’t care how many women are maimed, infected with diseases or die on the routinely-filthy abortion mills. Democrats worship abortion with same fervor the Canaanites worshipped Molech.
About a point behind, with 28.09%, is Richard Cohen, who was nominated for his infamous column on Bill de Blasio:
People with conventional views must repress a gag reflex when considering the mayor-elect of New York — a white man married to a black woman and with two biracial children. (Should I mention that Bill de Blasio’s wife, Chirlane McCray, used to be a lesbian?)
