DNC response to Republicans on Nobel Prize

[nosferaustin]

"The Republican Party has thrown in its lot with the terrorists -- the Taliban and Hamas this morning -- in criticizing the President for receiving the Nobel Peace prize," wrote DNC Communications Director Brad Woodhouse. "Republicans cheered when America failed to land the Olympics and now they are criticizing the President of the United States for receiving the Nobel Peace prize -- an award he did not seek but that is nonetheless an honor in which every American can take great pride -- unless of course you are the Republican Party. The 2009 version of the Republican Party has no boundaries, has no shame and has proved that they will put politics above patriotism at every turn. It's no wonder only 20 percent of Americans admit to being Republicans anymore - it's an embarrassing label to claim."

1. Good statement. It's sad that the rhetoric has come to this, but it's absolutely necessary

that the DNC fight fire with fire.

[jeffbr]

2. Amen to that

[Crankie Avalon]

3. Hah! A response that's lot more direct than usual. Good for them.

[robo50]

4. That's great! I think this is the way we should treat Republicans

from now on. They have no shame!

Telling it like it is!

7. Great response.

Kudos to the DNC. :applause:

Have you read some of the right wing responses listed in that article? Erick Erickson is an ass.

"I did not realize the Nobel Peace Prize had an affirmative action quota," wrote Erick Erickson, of the site RedState.com, "but that is the only thing I can think of for this news."

The man is projecting US race politics onto the Nobel Committee. I guess that's about what we can expect from that contingent.

8. BREAKING: Repukes Hate Peace!

[baldguy]

12. That's not news

[treestar]

9. "criticizing President Obama for winning the Nobel Peace prize"

LOL. Gotta hand it to the President. Who else could get criticized for an accomplishment?

[DevonRex]

10. I'd say that applies to ANYBODY who isn't happy that Obama got it.

Some folks need to do some inventory. And it may be that they're not really Democrats at all.

11. Some folks

on this site as well. It makes me wonder who's who?

:shrug:

13. Excellent response!

Hmm, are we finally seeing the return of the once-thought-to-be-extinct "Democratic Spine"?

[HopeOverFear]

14. When we were condemning Bush, we were not siding with the terrorists

whereas these assholes really ARE siding with terrorists.

[Hekate]

15. Good job. BTW, don't miss the Party Thread in GD

:hi: :party:

[crispini]

16. Nice!

Zing!

[calimary]

17. One for the "Country First" crowd!!!!

Like this A LOT!!! We should be smacking them back in the face at EVERY opportunity. Whatever serves to make them look bad is good for all the rest of us. What's rather exquisite is to hear the likes of huckabee and pawlenty lecturing their own partisans about the proper way to respond - "to say congratulations." They still have to be schooled in proper behavior over on that side of the aisle. Where the hoodlums and Sore Losermen and rude, infantile tantrum-throwers and hate-mongers are.

I'm loving this!!!!

[vaberella]

18. And some DUers joined the Repubs on this. Thanks DNC. n/t

[tomm2thumbs]

19. oh, and you Republicans... 'AMERICA - LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT' already - remember that?

Suck it!

[BootinUp]

20. This country is so f'd up, we have

a lot of work to do.

[Uzybone]

21. Am I sensing guts from the DNC?

they could never have released a statement so strongly worded and honest 2 years ago.
