President Obama Wins Nobel Peace Prize, Wingnuts Throw Collective Temper Tantrum
By: Blue Texan Friday October 9, 2009 4:59 am



This is going to be so much fun.


In a stunning surprise, the Nobel Committee announced Friday that it had awarded its annual peace prize to President Obama “for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.”


John J. Miller:

This is insane.


Mona Charen:

Before they break out the champagne at the White House, they may want to pause over the fact that Obama now shares this honor with Mohammed el-Baradei, Yasser Arafat, and flagrant liar Rigoberta Menchu Tum.


K-Lo:

Bibi Netanyahu will never be given a Nobel prize.


Michael Graham:

What do Barack Obama and Yassir Arafat have in common? They both hung out with anti-Semites who think Israel should be pushed into the sea. Oh, yeah—and they both were given the Nobel Prize for Peace.


Matt Lewis:

I mean, shouldn't you at least do something before winning such a prestigious award?


Clownhall:

This is just more evidence the "messiah" mentality has reached the world stage...


Hot Air:

This makes three times, incidentally, in just seven years that the committee’s turned the Peace Prize into a “f*** Bush” award by bestowing it on a liberal American Democrat.


Dan Riehl:

At this rate, the man is going to become reviled by a majority of the American people in four years.


Much more to come, for sure.

1. 100% predictable.
They are giving people less and less reason to pay any attention to them whatsoever.

2. They got to the Wikipedia page on Peace Prize winners
saying that, among other things, he won it for "being black" ...

8. It's not just the wingnuts. I saw some pretty asshatty comments on the main thread
about this story from DUers. Apparently he should have Dubya's messes all cleaned up by now and the fact that he hasn't means he doesn't deserve the prize.

:eyes:

10. Yes, I've been ignoring those people around here who have never
been nor will ever be happy with anything the President says or does.

Not worth my effort.

12. It's getting pretty tiresome.
But yeah, not worth the effort. Still, it would be nice to see good news treated as such. I guess some people will never be happy no matter what.
