What are the Nobel Prize Committee Chairman's Socialist Ties?
With the choice of President Obama for the Nobel Peace Prize inspiring such widespread befuddlement, it seems worthwhile to ask, just who are these people who made this choice, and what might their agenda be?
Accompanying news stories on the award were photos of a smiling Thorbjorn Jagland, chairman of the Nobel Peace Prize Committee, admiringly hold a photo of the U.S. president.
This is the man who spoke gushingly about the hope Obama has inspired. Who is Thorbjorn Jagland?
Some stories have reported that he is the former prime minister of Norway, and that he was the leader of the Norwegian Labor Party for 10 years. But he recently completed an even more interesting 10-year tenure.
From 1999 through 2008, Jagland was vice president of Socialist International. What’s that? It’s exactly what the name suggests – an international organization of socialist groups who advocate for far left policies. It also boasts of “consultative status” with the United Nations.

I have to say that I did spare a thought for all you right wing nutters weeping into your sour milk drinks when I heard the news that Obama had been awarded the Nobel Prize.
Its just not fair. You are all still grieving over him winning the election. You have to contend with the fact that he is implementing policies you dont agree with (the scoundrel). To make matters even worse the rest of the world thinks he is great (they must all be reds or muslims or gays) and now he is recognised with one of the most prestigious awards in the world. Boo hoo! Its just not fair.
Ha, ha, ha

We are the HEGEMONIC nation......we need to regain our dignity after Obama has trashed us around the world. We set the standards.....we feed the world....we help to enable other nations to fight tyranny and dictatorship that lead to oppression and the elimination of the rights of individuals to LIFE, LIBERTY AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS. We do not need to be vilified by Obama or any of this Democratic Administration, bent on the amalgamation of the world.

After last week's stunner 58% of Americans say that politics plays a roll in awarding the Nobel Peace Prize. This is up 18 percentage points from last year. Only 21% say politics does not play a role.

I said from day 1, this is one socialist to another. They see the writing on the wall, Obama is in trouble and they are trying to influence public opinion here in the States. Just one jackal trying to support another.

If the Nobel prize was a legit award:
Bush should've been awarded it.
Because of Bush, Saddam’s regime no longer inflicts torture on Iraqis by having electric prods attached to their genitals or by giving them acid baths. It no longer drills holes in their ankles and skulls. It no longer leaves them naked in refrigerators for days. It no longer cuts out their tongues and cuts off their ears. Nor does it force Iraqi men to watch gang rapes of their wives and sisters.
Because of Bush, Afghan women can now attend school. They are free to go out in public without being accompanied by a man. They are allowed to hold jobs.

What is the liberal obsesssion with people living in trailers? I would think that a hard-working, tax-paying American citizen who buys and lives in a trailer should be respected more than a welfare recipient living in public housing. At least they are not parasites.

The truth of the matter is that world peace does involve politics. What do you think how to achieve world peace? Ask the people of the war-torn nations such as Afghanistan and Iraq, more than 90% of them will tell you that world peace involves politics. There have been polls in Europe and Asia that have consistently shown that more than 80% of the people polled were well aware of the fact that world peace involves local, regional and global politics.
Face it, George Bush's cowboy policies were regarded as extremely dangerous to world peace by all peace loving people around the world. Reversing Bush's policies itself is a great contribution to world peace.

Jenney, do you know why the Chinese, Koreans, Philippines, and other southeast Asians still hate the Japanese 65 years after World War 2 ended? Because the Japanese still justify their invasion of the Asian countries as liberating them from the "white people" occupation. You're the person that has a black heart.

Second, let me say this: if you said about Bush saving millions of Iraqis on Baghdad's streets, you would be b.e.a.t.e.n to d.e.a.t.h because you're insulting them...

First of all, let me correct you on the number: Iraq has a population of 29 million, not 500 million....

GOP AMERICANOLOGY 101: WHEN A GROUP'S WORST ENEMY IS ITSELF
.
CHAPTER 1: Knowing When It's time for a Limbaughtomy...
.
When you start believing that good is bad (and bad is good), then it's time for you to have a Limbaughtomy. Learn to think for yourself and form your own opinions without relying on Rush soundbites. No decent American would allow their "patriotism" to transform into common ground with the Taliban in order to make a point.
.
CHAPTER 2: "Revised" Christianity: Justifiable Hate and the Hatemongering
.
The GOP likes to rationalize hate, though they don't like being called hatemongers. Here's an example of Beck justifying his hate of some 9/11 families (no joke):
.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hf33g9ep4YU
.
And Tea Party signs continue to promote hate of Obama en masse. Here are a few examples:
.
"Barack Hussein Obama: The New Face of Hitler"
"Unarmed...THIS TIME"
.
Put that against a picture of a sinister black face (that's Obama) slitting the throat of a white Uncle Sam and you have the new tone of the Republican party. Hate.
.
But hate is counterproductive to progress and it contradicts their purported conservative Christian ideals.
.
Hate only digs a deeper hole for your party which further alienates you from the rest of the nation.
.
CHAPTER 3: Teetering over the cliff…

There is no value in the Noble Peace Prize so why even sweat it. All it did was prove to the normal people in the world that Obama has no integrity whatsoever. He has been selling out America from day one. If it looks like a snake, crawls like a snake........!

The commitees socialist ties? They are the Elite socialists. Bush saved 500 million Iraqis, barack is responsible for the lives lost in Afhganistan in the last few months. The Taliban is getting stronger by the day and he is reassuring the gay population they will get their demands met. McCrystal and the troops can't be reassured of anything with this man in the WH.

From Newshounds (You are SO predictable, Fox Nation):
Fox Nation, the website that boasts about its dedication to "people who believe in the United States of America," nevertheless took several deliberate swipes at it with regard to President Obama's Nobel Prize. On a home page full of jabs at the prize (and one or two approvals), one of the top stories poses the "Cavuto mark" of a question, "What are the Nobel Prize Committee Chairman's Socialist Ties? " Not surprisingly, the chairman is shown holding a photo of Obama next to the headline.

Father Coughlin: Go bathe in some Holy Water, it will cleanse you of your black heart. Whouldn't be in the church any way, you are a disgrace. The following is an excerpt from Newsmax, written by Kesslert: Sooo very true. If the Hobel Prize was a legit org. Bush should've been awarded it.
Because of Bush, Saddam’s regime no longer inflicts torture on Iraqis by having electric prods attached to their genitals or by giving them acid baths. It no longer drills holes in their ankles and skulls. It no longer leaves them naked in refrigerators for days. It no longer cuts out their tongues and cuts off their ears.

All nominations had to be in Feb9 only 19 days after Obama was sworn in as President. Wish I could work that fast.

Yea, that time frame was something wasn't it. Surely the committee had his nomination in the basket prior to Obama having done anything other than false promise and long lines of ka ka
