Why do you all want America to fail?

Constant Parrhesia on October 24, 2009 at 6:10 PM

I urge you to look into a mirror or some reflective surface and ask yourself the very same question.

Reflective. I like that word.

Not accepting the award is something that would never occur to Obama to begin with. A counterfactual non-starter.

It would have been needlessly insulting to reject the award, and would have accomplished nothing.
I disagree completely and I suspect so do many other Americans. I could care less about insulting those who have insulted the world by bestowing this award on a Carter or a Gore. It has become a ridiculous award. Rejecting it would NOT be ridiculous then. Accomplished would have been the statement that the prize is ridiculous. Again, a non-starter for Obama would never reject that prize. A notion beyond the pale.

While we believe that Obama has made a fetish of apologizing for America to get people to like us, we don’t want to gratuitously insult people, either.“We” don`t believe it, we KNOW it. I consider the prize to now be an insult to the original intent of the prize itself.Perhaps the Committee has now learned a valuable lesson and will in the future award the Peace Prize to a worthy person. Shameful behavior on the part of informed people who should know better.

However, the decision to award Obama the prize by the Nobel committee for his rhetoric was and is still laughable.
And we come back to this. The decision was laughable. Why accept such a now comedic prize which should aspire to be something to those who aspire to true peace and have made real contributions to make those aspirations a reality and an inspiration to all of us?

You really don’t get it at all. I don’t think conservatives were really that upset that 0bamao got the award, especially considering the equally undeserving clown who won it last year. Barry getting the award was comedy gold and most of us just thought it was hilarious. Also, it just validated everything we’ve been saying about the guy for the last two years: that he’s an empty suit with zero accomplishments who has spent his entire adult life getting pats on the back for doing a lot of nothing. This is just more fodder to use to ridicule “The Won.”

What exactly did Obama do wrong here? He was given an award which he didn’t lobby for at all. He himself said he didn’t deserve it. Criticize the Nobel Foundation if you want, but what’s your problem with Obama here?

Actually crappieboy–we are all glad he got this award. This is the best representation of the farce that his presidency portrays. I can’t wait to download the picture of his face while he is standing there with that medal hanging around his neck. This is the equivalent of saying that Obambi is the BEST PRESIDENT the US has EVER had, 9 onths into his presidency. It’s a bogus medal, by a bogus committee, for a bogus president.
It will be great fodder for lots of jokes–as you have already seen…LMAO!

Name someone who refused to accept the Nobel Peace Prize because they felt they didn’t deserve it.

You are the sort of slime who would accept an award wrongly given to you, and you would then brag to people about your award. You have no sense of dignity, fairness, or integrity. You are the lowest sort of scum there is. You remind me of John Kerry, who would take a purple heart for a scratch.

If you want to know why you are a moron leftist, your attitude about accepting awards that you are undeserving of says it all. The very thought should offend you, but quite the opposite. You figure, “They’re giving it to me, even though I don’t deserve it … Cool.” You are pure slime. A typical leftist, though. You people are just beneath contempt.

Now it’s time to turn our back on the Bushies.

This is why we keep you, you can be such an amusing troll. You just do that, you turn your back–it is such an amusing picture of you stnading there.
Unfortunately, we weren’t afraid to turn our back to Bush, we knew he had it covered. It’s Obambi we have to worry about. I would NEVER turn my back to him, without having one of the HA memembers to cover me!

You’ve failed to provide credible, multiple sources to prove your assertion again. You fail.

crr6 on October 24, 2009 at 6:08 PM

He named someone: Le Duc Tho.

Now, give us credible, multiple sources telling us how many Nobel Peace Prize winners have done less than Obama, good or bad.

Translation: “I just got my getalife kicked to the Equator and back, so will change the subject and insult the person who just beat me”.

Saul Alinsky is looking up and smiling.

Del Dolemonte on October 24, 2009 at 6:03 PM

Calling you an idiot is a compliment.

You’ve failed to provide credible, multiple sources to prove your assertion again. You fail.

By that standard, I have 20,000 sources for this assertion. Then again, it’s already pretty much a universally accepted fact anyway…

Name someone who refused to accept the Nobel Peace Prize because they felt they didn’t deserve it. Political reasons don’t count.

Needless to say, if we’re using your standard I’ll require multiple credible sources.

crr6 on October 24, 2009 at 5:15 PM

Needless to say, the point is that others have refused it. It’s not some unheard-of thing.

I know you can do it.”

crr6, how about this – you take a deep breath and repeat
“I am a douchebag who carries water for my master Obama”.

Your posts on this thread tell me that you can do it. Go for it, champ.

BTW, the “multiple credible sources” I linked to include encycopedia.com.

Jean-Paul Satre turned down a Nobel in literature, too.

Del Dolemonte on October 24, 2009 at 5:19 PM

It’s “Sartre”. Now for the multiple credible sources proving they turned the award down because they felt they didn’t deserve it…

But I’m sure you thought he deserved it.

Jean-Paul Satre turned down a Nobel in literature, too.

That hasn’t stopped other who have won it in the past from refusing to accept it.

It would have been rude and pointless to reject the award.
