OMGods !! Obama...

[SpiritWarrior]

The irony here is that if someone they "liked" won a nobel peace prize, it would be a prestigous and almost holy event, encompassing nothing but credibility and nuetrality.

I saw An Inconvenient Truth with nothing but skepticism in my mind, and finished with only gratitude toward Al Gore. I think he was well deserving of that award, for what his movie and his work promotes. If trying to save the planet doesn't earn you something, I don't know what does. I think too, that Obama was equally deserving and awesome in his humility. Both of these men brought honor to their country.

P.S. Glenn Beck is a nutcake who thinks Obama is racist and the government is "out to get him". Try harder, lol.

No war-mongering, base peddling, defense industry hack would ever win a famously liberal award like the Nobel Peace prize, so most of their guys are out before the contest even starts.

All the scorn is hilariously par for course from the negative right. I'll give them props for good shows of patriotism, ...when it suits their politcal aims.

Conservatism has gone to the birds. Chickenhawks, Chicken littles, just plain Chickens and a bunch of Quacks. Beck is like king of the quacks!

Despite the proven factual errors it contains? Interesting.

You're half right.

That doesn't change the truthfulness of Irene Sendler's story.

Mr. Pot, meet Mr. Kettle. Mr. Kettle, meet Mr. Pot.

Who won a nobel prize that I didn't think deserved one?

How quickly you forget. You didn't see the movie last time I checked.

You're half right.

In your completely independant opinion.

That doesn't change the truthfulness of Irene Sendler's story.

I never said it did.

I'm not sure. I listed the ones I felt were undeserving (Yasser Arafat and Al Gore). The article I posted listed others (Kissinger and Le Duc Tho). Maybe you agree with those, maybe not. Here is a list of all Nobel Peace Prize Laureates. You can view the list yourself and let us know if you agree with all the choices that have been made.

As for Obama, I said I felt the award was premature, but did not say he didn't deserve it. I also stated that Obama's award did not diminish the Peace Prize in any way and actually added a measure of respectability back to the award compared to Al Gore. (although I mistakenly referred to Gore as "last year's winner". He won the award in 2007, not 2008).

If you think warning people about global warming, something that would fall under the Nobel SCIENCE prize, gobal warming isn't being addressed by peace makers but scientists. Vs a woman who in a time of WAR risked her life to save others and stop horrible things durring war, was turtored, had her legs broke when she was beaten. If it is Ironic that I believe the nobel PEACE PRIZE is no longer valid, So be it I can live with that. PROUDLY IRONIC!!!!!!!!

This just sounds like whining. Basically you are mad that a person who you were told (by Glenn Beck) should get it, didn't.

It is important to recognise the messenger in this case, a nuerotic man who's been all over the news for his nuttiness and overall being out-of-touch.

Having him even mention this womans name does her a great dishonor, as he uses her story for his own political purposes (opposing Al Gore), rather than giving her the respect that is due. We've seen this kind of behavior before. It is similiar to what the Republicans did with the troops, using them as tools to garner a hushed respect with one hand, whilst furthering their own agendas with the other, and subsequently accusing anyone who disagrees with the right-wing as "unpatriotic" because it is an insult to the troops. Wtf?

If anything is an insult, it is how they were used as scapegoats and propganda tools by the very people who claimed they supported them. If I were you, I would be mad about this more than anything else. And if you really care about this woman, and her selfless actions, and wanted to show her the kind of respect she deserves, you wouldn't buy into this BS in the first place.

LOL exactly which word in Glen beck's video dishonored her? Which words di he use that were false? Everything he said was backed up by Snopes. After all you have made a show about your prowess with the english language, give facts not opinion.

LOL if you were me you would give facts and not opinions stating them as facts, nor would you dismiss facts based on who said them.

[SpiritWarrior]

I just told you how he dishonored her.
