love it, Love It, LOVE IT.

In the spirit of doing everything ASS FORWARD, Obama ought rightly to share that award with the idiosyncratically-reverend Jeremiah Wright.

I have come out of hiding once again to find some semblance of sanity and logic in the home of my fellow liberty (and that total hottie, Ron Paul!) supporters.

Obama gets the peace prize?! I HOPE the committee CHANGEs their minds.

Bunchies is NOT happy!

NAOMI KLEIN: You know, I try not to speak about things before I really had a process—you know, a chance to process it, because my raw reaction is really that this represents—it’s very significant and disappointing, cheapening of the Nobel Prize

...

...

Naomi Klein: "this is a candidate that ran a campaign that was much more based on hope and wishful thinking than it was on concrete policy. So we have hopes being piled on hope and wishful thinking. "

Bingo.

And perhaps the greatest of ironies in this, is that election of Barack Obama was the single greatest contributor to the near eradication of the American anti-war movement.

OH MAN - they are absolutely shredding him!

"And now is the moment when we’re seeing his actual commitment to change. And it has been one disappointment after the next. "

and the bit about sabotaging the climate change negotiations - what good news!

On top of this there is an economist on C-SPAN now spelling out how the stimulus is doing the exact opposite!

"Obama Wins Nobel Prize in Part for Confronting 'Great Climatic Challenges'" New York Times - dish rag*

I love how they try to make it look like it was deserving in any meaningful way... what desperation.

TWO WORDs.

WOODROW WILSON.

JIMMY CARTER.

HENRY KISSINGER.

NOBEL PRIZE.

BARACK OBAMA!

Exactly.

 

[tangent4ronpaul]

"They tend to take rhetoric very seriously. And though they deny it, we know that in 1938 they couldn’t decide whether to give the prize to Hitler or to Gandhi. And finally, they gave it to the Nansen International Office of Refugees, which was a much better choice."

Well that puts the committee in a new light!

LOL!

From Lew Rockwell's blog,

Barack Obama today sensationally won the Nobel Peace Prize after just nine months in office for returning America to a multilateralist foreign policy after eight years of going it alone under George W Bush. The Norwegian Nobel Committee said it was honouring the 48-year-old US President for “his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples”. [TRANSLATION: He now wants all of our allies to either actively join in or at least approve of our continuing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan (and pretty soon probably Iran and Pakistan too) instead of us pursuing our criminal actions alone.]
The five jurors, elected by the Norwegian parliament, also said in their citation that they had attached “special importance to Obama’s vision of and work for a world without nuclear weapons”. [Except, of course, Israel. Or, for that matter, all of the countries who already have nuclear weapons—including the United States.]
Mohamed ElBaradei, who heads the UN’s nuclear watchdog and won the prize in 2005, said: “I cannot think of anyone today more deserving of this honour. In less than a year in office, he has transformed the way we look at ourselves and the world we live in and rekindled hope for a world at peace with itself.” [TRANSLATION: Now that a Republican is out of office, all of these criminal wars that we've been fighting are now "transformed" into "just" wars because the Democrat in office is continuing these criminal wars (as it was always meant to be, by the way).]

WOW! - we've only got 33.5% of the vote on this one. Better get busy! The other poll was about 65% NO!

Wording is also biased.

I tried reading the comments for the myriad articles they've got there. A new pageful every 30 seconds, just railing on about calling the Republicans terrorists or being totally in favor of everything he's done constantly over and over. It's really painful to see such a group who can't see the forest for the trees.

This is as bad as Milli Vanilli winning the Grammy Award in 1990.
