Round one! Lets go!
THE CANDIDATES
Donald Trump
Nominated by Prolescum
Prolescum said:I humbly submit Donald Trump for his views on mental health and vaccines. Also, climate change and his feelings on the EPA. He's apparently not fond of Planned Parenthood or the ACA. Imagine, he's barely months from the White House! :lol:
Dave Murphy
Nominated by Laurens
Laurens said:My nomination goes to Dave Murphy for making me brush up on my basics in refuting the flat earth bullshit:
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any vicarious loss of IQ that you get from watching this video, or any physical harm caused through excessive face palming.
Mike "Health Ranger" Adams
Nominated by Dustnite
Dustnite said:I'm going with the "Health Ranger" Mike Adams. There's something about anti-vaxxers that draws a visceral response from me... He runs probably the #1 anti science website on the net:

This video has everything from woo to Nazis, hits all the top 10 quack points! Did I mention he's an AIDS denialist? I'll take my trophy now...
Andrew Wakefield
Nominated by Rando
Rando said:I know how low brow it is to pick an obvious candidate but I nominate Andrew Wakefield. He is directing a "documentary" based on his lies, and it is going to get a dvd release. I think he's relevant because it's 2016 and he is still peddling his lies to anyone who will listen and judging by it's viewer count it is getting attention.
The "Health Ranger" is bad but he is merely a carrier of the disease of ignorance, Wakefield is patient zero. This disease has a body count, Wakefield's crap is killing people and he doesn't care so long as he keeps making money and getting press.
Boris Johnson
Nominated by he_who_is_nobody
he_who_is_nobody said:I am going to nominate the Trump of the U.K., Boris Johnson.
Keith Thompson
Nominated by MarsCydonia
MarsCydonia said:I would nominate Keith Thompson of Reformed Apologetics Ministries, a slavery and genocide apologist, director of the Atheists don't exist youtube "documentary" who has offered us this year yet another "brilliant" piece of documentary film making:
Darwinism's Downfall
Filled with the usual misquotes and misinterpretations of evolutionary science and geology (such as "macro-evolution has never been proven") and the usual "Evolution leads to Nazism" scare among others.
