5. Maybe the defense industry can sponsor

a warmonger of the year award. Maybe they already do and Dick won it eight years running with a cash prize that makes Nobel look like chicken feed. Congrads Mr. Cheney your real prize awaits you in hell.

7. Indeed,

Dubya has no cause for complaint. He was awarded the highly coveted Iraqi Journalist Shoe Award. In fact, he was the ONLY US president to receive that prestigious accolade. Obama, in the meantime must console himself with being the second (third, if you count actual ELECTED presidents) President of the US to get the lowly Nobel Peace Prize.

12. I propose the DU: "No-bell" War and Fascism Prizes

Edited on Fri Oct-09-09 08:04 PM by Liberation Angel

see this thread:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=103x487902

The No-Bell War Prize: categories include: most fascist state, deadliest leader,

worst cases of pharmacy industry abuse (testing on children in Africa)

worst economic predictions and advice

most transparently awful/commerical literature (product placement in fiction)

I LOVE this idea!

Let's start the nomination process and equilvalent categories.

I've heard of the anti-Nobels (for unusual sceintific inventions etc) and the elitists Hasty Putting Worst Actor awards.

But a No-bell Prize for Fascism and War Mongering would be a useful tool in the effort to expose horrors here and globally

Worst Polluter Corporation.

Worst environmental record for a National leader

Caveat: Unfortunately the US, as many folks have noted, is the biggest and most brutal capitalist/fascist empire in history (aty least abroad) so we'd have to take our hits too.

But wouldn't it have been great to award the most evil fascist award to Dumbass Dubya one year, Cheney the next and Rummy the year after (or joint prizes)

with a load of bullshit as their prize delivered to their front doors?

I think DU should do this.

Seriously
