The Amazing Atheist rocks. That's the best example of satire of right wing election hype ever.
Great example of 'Poe's Law' as well, since their is surely some wingnuts out there that might take this as the real thing ( well, minus the profanity and shit )

http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/TheAmazingAtheist
He actually wrote in a reddit chat: "I think we should give the guy who raped you a medal. I hope you fucking drown in rape semen, you ugly, mean-spirited cow."
Also rationalwiki says:
While TJ (real name of TAA) claims to believe in equal rights for all humans, he believes feminism is an ideology based on female supremacy [8] that seeks the granting of special rights to women. He once compared feminism to the KKK...
Also:
Since TheAmazingAtheist is sometimes perceived as some sort of spokesman for the atheist community (both by his fanbase and by religious conservatives looking for convenient examples of famous atheists being assholes), when he is responsible for gaffes like this, other atheist bloggers and writers are quick to distance themselves from him, and point out that he does not in any way represent them. [14][15]
AND:
One controversial video is "Bullies," where he expressed the view that "being a bully doesn't make you a monster, and being bullied doesn't make you a victim," and called suicidal bullying victims "weak."
He also made this 13 minute video saying nothing meaningful at all besides "I'M SORRY I'M WHITE! I'M SORRY I'M MALE!" and "third weeks women have it worse" regarding feminist bloggers on tumblr. As well as a pathetic defense of comedian Daniel Tosh for joking about gang raping a woman who attended a show:
TAA shat on Amanda Todd's grave one last time on youtube in addition to his tumblr:
Sadly this guy attracts about 300k subscribers, nearly as many as subscribe to the Young Turks. This guy with his aggressive masculine attitude hardly different from fundamentalist Christians is dividing and conquering progressives AND poisoning the minds of impressionable teenagers and young adults who learn that tape jokes and hating feminism are cool. If TAA were a DU member he would get PPR'ed within days. I think this loser's videos should no longer be posted to DU. Instead, check out my youtube channel linked on my signature line (if you can't see it on mobile it is andrewsaccount09) for Mike Malloy's anti religious commentary. At least Malloy is a grown man with a more mature, informed communication style that doesn't need the f word every ten seconds.

His latest sign of what a great guy he is was his caring, empathic treatment of the story of Amanda Todd, a teenage girl who committed suicide...Upon hearing of Amanda's suicide, he posted a picture on his Tumblr blog of him holding a sign, similar to the manner in which Amanda Todd did in her video, saying "I am the other hundreds of thousands of people who died today other than Amanda fucking Todd." [20] A subsequent post has him dismissing her as a "spoiled teenage girl that offed herself at the first sign of adversity." [21]
