Revoking John Bolton’s Award

LGF • Views: 3,368

In 2006, LGF readers voted to give the Anti-Idiotarian Award to former UN ambassador John Bolton, largely because of his passionate support of the US and Israel in the frequently hostile environment of the United Nations.

I feel slightly sad to announce that today, as the proprietor of LGF, I’m revoking that award. And when I say “slightly sad,” I mean “very disgusted with John Bolton.”

It was bad enough that Bolton actually wrote the foreword for hate monger Pamela Geller’s anti-Obama “book.” But the final straw was the announcement by Geller that Bolton will be speaking at her anti-Muslim rally.

John Bolton is no “anti-idiotarian.” He’s lent his credibility to a nasty un-American cause, organized and run by people who are insane with hatred and obsessed with conspiracy delusions.

Mr. Bolton, you should be ashamed of your disgraceful behavior, and for dishonoring the office you once held. We’re taking back our award. You do not deserve it.
