“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,” DNC communications director Brad Woodhouse told POLITICO. “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,” Woodhouse said.

He must have missed the memo. Talibans are no harm to America now.

So, does this mean that the White House will be declaring Morning Joe to be a stronghold of terrorist sympathizers for comparing Obama’s win to Marissa Tomei’s Oscar win for My Cousin Vinny?

Nobody move! My head just exploded.

Well the MSM are also in shock. I guess they side with terrorist too.
Lance Murdock on October 9, 2009 at 10:41 AM
I feel so small today.
Now I’m a racist because Obama is black, and a terrorist because Obama received an undeserved reward.
fogw on October 9, 2009 at 10:41 AM
Everyone but the DNC is apparently siding with terrorists.
I’m giddy right now.
BadgerHawk on October 9, 2009 at 10:41 AM
And yet they can’t say exactly what Obama has done to deserve it.
Enoxo on October 9, 2009 at 10:41 AM
Yeah, that makes perfect sense. We’re helping terrorists by pointing out that a guy who wants to cede portions of Afghanistan to the Taliban probably doesn’t deserve a “Peace” prize.
Bill Scrunty on October 9, 2009 at 10:41 AM
Just keep digging.
They’d better throw in plenty of liberal bloggers there too, from what we’ve read this morning.

Didn’t Obama give $900 million to Hamas, thus throwing his lot in with them?

Maybe, he belong there with the terrorists (Arafat), the scam artists (Gore), and the incompetent antis-semites(Carter)?
Blake on October 9, 2009 at 10:44 AM
No one is criticizing Obama. We are criticizing the award itself. He didn’t award it to himself, although he probably would have.
sammypants on October 9, 2009 at 10:44 AM
Yeah, if you have David Gregory, Republicans and Hamas agreeing that something is ridiculous, it might just be universally viewed as being ridiculous. They should have kept their mouths shut on this one.
forest on October 9, 2009 at 10:44 AM
Awarding the Nobel Prize to Obama is so ridiculous that they will do anything to spin it to get the attention off of Obama for winning it.
behiker on October 9, 2009 at 10:44 AM
Same as when Obama sides with Castro and Chavez on Honduras and gets called a communist — despite the fact that he’s also siding with every other country in Europe and the Americas.
But if you want to join the Hammas-Al Queada Axis, be my guests.
Steele is more of a bozo than I thought.

That is all you have to ask. So what has he done to deserve this award?

bitsy on October 9, 2009 at 10:46 AM
I’ve been saying that in one of the other threads for the past hour. At first I didn’t think his ego would let him do it, but I’m starting to get a little concerned that it’s his only good option. There would be nothing the right could do to counter it.
Then the Nobel Committee will just give it to him right before the election in 2012, which is what they should have done in the first place.

Daggett on October 9, 2009 at 10:46 AM
If Democrats couldn’t lie, then they wouldn’t be able to say anything. Republicans did not cheer when Chicago lost the Olymbics. They laughed at Obama because he thought that all he needed to do was go to Copenhagen, flash his pearly whites, and anything he wanted would be given to him.
That’s a difference Democrats are intellectually and emotionally incapable of understanding.
MarkTheGreat on October 9, 2009 at 10:46 AM
This is a great April Fool’s Day joke. What’s even more brilliant is that they didn’t do it on April 1, making it even more surprising.

So does this mean that the Democratic party was siding with terrorists when they endorsed Obama for President?

I’m actually thinking about DVRing “Real Time with Bill Maher” and even Letterman tonight to see how they handle this. The “There’s Nothing Funny About Barack Obama” meme really gets put to the test on this one, though my guess is the odds are 2-1 to 3-1 that their jokes will be almost all about the reaction, and not the absurdity of the award itself.
jon1979 on October 9, 2009 at 10:49 AM
Well, that is 2 times in 9 months that the Democrats have called me a terrorist (I’m a combat vet). Can we get 3 times in one year? Anyone have the over/under on that?
Blarg the Destroyer on October 9, 2009 at 10:49 AM
Silly hyperventallating DNC nonsense. We all know who sides with the terrorists.
BottomLine5 on October 9, 2009 at 10:49 AM
HAMAS = Muslim Brotherhood (read the HAMAS Charter).
Obama’s adviser on Muslim affairs supports (and is supported by) the Muslim Brotherhood.
This would be a lot funnier if they didn’t just float the trial balloon of preventive detention for potential terrorists.
Beagle on October 9, 2009 at 10:49 AM
Heh. Bleeds Blue is doing his trollish best! But, O Wise wonder, care to tell me exactly what Obama did in his first two weeks to deserve the award?
But I love this DNC statement. What happens to them if Obama says “thanks, but no thanks?” Does that mean Obama is now “siding with terrorists?”

Silly wingnut! That is EXACTLY why he got it! That is how you get peace, doncha know.
bitsy on October 9, 2009 at 10:50 AM
I tend to agree with you but then I am reminded that Obama is beholden to himself first and every other country but ours. Plus Michelle won’t let him turn it down.
sherry on October 9, 2009 at 10:50 AM
The Politically Correct Prize for Non-Accomplishment reaches the zenith of hypocrisy. Will Obama’s ego allow him to do the right thing and refuse the prize? Or will he just try to save some face by donating the money to something worthy? Stay… tuned for the next installment of the Theater of the Absurd!
BTW: My advice to Obama? “Dude, go ahead and order airstrikes to blast Iranian nuke site to glowing rubble! You’ve already won the Peace Prize, so there’s no need to act peaceful anymore!”
michaelo on October 9, 2009 at 10:50 AM
How in the world is criticizing Obama getting this award the same as supporting Zelaya? You are foolish.
sammypants on October 9, 2009 at 10:50 AM
Obama is the one who wants to get the Taliban involved in the Afghanistan government, but we are the ones siding with the terrorists. Right.

He knows the awards a joke. He and I discussed it on another thread. Even his wife thinks it’s a joke.
He just doesn’t like to see us in such glee.
BadgerHawk on October 9, 2009 at 10:52 AM
My gut feeling is he won’t. That would be a bold move, without days of feeling out what the response to it would be. Obama only does that kind of thing when he isn’t paying attention or doesn’t think it is important.

Key West Reader on October 9, 2009 at 10:52 AM
If he turns it down, all you can do is congratulate Obama on having some sense of perspective, and just let his more rabid supporters start screaming that the right forced him to give up the award. But the DNC press release, if it was coordinated with the White House, makes it sound like turning it down is not in the plans at the moment.
jon1979 on October 9, 2009 at 10:53 AM
I feel your pain.

/shaking my head. I need a beer and it’s not even 11am. What an embarrassment!
Key West Reader on October 9, 2009 at 10:53 AM
Obama is called a communist because he backs policies that are indistinguishable from communism. That he also goes out of his way to back communists is just further confirmation. As to the socialist countries that also back these communists, so what?
MarkTheGreat on October 9, 2009 at 10:54 AM
Does this mean the Democrats are “siding with terrorists” if they support a withdraw from Afghanistan?
Go RBNY on October 9, 2009 at 10:54 AM
Who would have thought the Taliban and Hamas could ever be more grounded in reality and reason than the DNC?
Dusty on October 9, 2009 at 10:54 AM
Drudge says he will accept the prize on behalf of Americans. Not on behalf of the American MILITARY. Oh, no.
Marcus on October 9, 2009 at 10:55 AM
Maybe that’s what the speech delay is all about. They’re reading the blogs and the comments and seeing what’s being said by the media and the public. Obama will make a decision on whether to accept or not based on today’s political temperature….
Nahhhh
misslizzi on October 9, 2009 at 10:55 AM
Not a shock. I mean, this is a guy who claimed that he was going to make the oceans stop rising.
LibTired on October 9, 2009 at 10:55 AM
Just because he’s going to Oslo doesn’t mean he has to accept it. He could bring along a more deserving finalist and give it to them at the event.
It would be an epic move, politically. There would literally be no way to counter it.
I say the odds are slim, but I’d still be prepared.
BadgerHawk on October 9, 2009 at 10:55 AM
They knew they had to award it to him this year because by next year the world will know what a fraud he is.
His ego won’t allow him to decline the award, but it would be the smart thing for him to do.

I wonder if we can point out to the geniuses at the DNC that the Jew-hating Muslim terrorist Yasser Arafat won the same award in 1994, and then later declared war on the Jews with his “intifada,” while resulted in years of open terrorism rather than peace.
But we should have united in song behind him, too, right? Of course. Of course.
And the Democrats wonder why we have no respect for the international “community.”
Good Lt on October 9, 2009 at 10:56 AM
Of course. That way the lib meme can be that conservatives hate Americans.
LibTired on October 9, 2009 at 10:57 AM
LMAO. Those are bunker buster bombs of peace!
Prediction: He will accept. Ego trumps all else. Also, to decline the prize would be an insult to an international committee of wise and nuanced non-Americans. We can’t have that.
bitsy on October 9, 2009 at 10:57 AM
Don’t forget there’s a $1.4 million cash prize that goes along with the award. That would buy a lot of designer tennis shoes and sleeveless dresses for her highness.
A lot of Europeans are criticizing the award too. The London Daily Mail had a scathing editorial on it today. I guess that means they’re terrorists too, right DNC?
AZCoyote on October 9, 2009 at 10:58 AM
Meet the Press moderator David Gregory felt the need to point out the “left-leaning” impulse of the Europeans who christened Obama as the world’s leading peacemaker for 2009: “This is a lot more about tone than it is substantive accomplishment. In many ways, this is a European body who is more left-leaning, certainly, and opposed to the administration of George W. Bush.”
Lauer followed up: “So, what you’re saying in some ways and, again, not to be rude here or sarcastic, that in some ways he wins this award for not being George W. Bush?
jimmy2shoes on October 9, 2009 at 10:58 AM
Has anyone seen Zelaya recently?
MarkTheGreat on October 9, 2009 at 10:58 AM
I think it’s difficult for him to turn it down outright — regardless of the merits of the prize, snubbing the Nobel Committee has very little upside. Fudging somehow and giving the money away is probably the way to go.
Bleeds Blue on October 9, 2009 at 10:59 AM
Awesome.
BadgerHawk on October 9, 2009 at 10:59 AM
So in 9 short months Republicans have gone from the party who harbored an irrational fear of all thing Islamic to siding with the terrorists.

theperfecteconomist on October 9, 2009 at 10:59 AM
It has been pointed out that the NPP awarded to Kissinger and that North Vietnamese negotiator (shortly before the North invaded the South) might be a more appropriate comparison.

Turning it down would be such a political boost to his flailing image, I’m almost inclined to believe the whole thing was orchestrated to go down that way. Is Obama et al that diabolically clever?

gwelf on October 9, 2009 at 11:04 AM
Important Memo to Conservatives Who Have Been Living in Some Sort of Media-Induced Coma for the Past 20 Years:
The Nobel Peace Prize has been a running joke for decades. It is a farcical pronouncement of political leftism and muddled philosophy. It is most often viewed as outright condescension or worse: an attempt to influence the future conduct of weak politicians who are viewed as pliable through meaningless flattery.
Sound at all like Our Idiot President?

Wait wait wait… let me get this straight…
The Taliban.. right? the people that our President wants to talk to now? because you know.. “their not the real enemy” …….
….So then i guess we’re just freedom fighters now according to lefty dictionary logic?
Isn’t the same people who got a bit snippy about being called terrorist supporters followed by Pelosi drones of “Dissent is the highest form of Patriotism”
Let me just clarify here
It’s Racist for me to question why we wasted over 1 million on a failed Olympic bid
Racist for me to cheer the fact that Rio won the Olympics or make fun of CNN’s open bias
It’s Racist for me to actually hold the president accountable for things
It’s hypocritical (and racist) for me to point out the Godwin’s Law fallacy of the left for their 8 yrs of BushHitler and even constant nazi references about me (which are false)
I’m a racist because Michael Steele is the head of the RNC apparently…
I’m Racist.. just because I’m white (<.<)
It’s racist to question the big economic hole Obama is digging even further than others..
And now Im a Racist Terrorist for questioning the Nobel Committee for not actually awarding someone for an actually accomplishment, but just because the guy “is not Bush”
So that pretty much leaves the following as “not racist”
Every 20 minutes, bow down to Obama, and any time he passes by, and kiss the ground where he’s stood
Sing Obama Indoctrination praises and Psalms, and blindly go along with “yes we can” chants.
And give or take 5 months from now.. I’m pretty sure those will be Racist as well….
God help… oops wait that’s probably racist or sign of Dementia…
“Obama help us all”
my day already started on a crappy note… (I know, that’s probably racist as well) but now this not only kicking me while I’m down.. this is “kick in the family jewels while I’m down” as well….

I suppose this will give the DNC the final reason for pulling the troops out of Afghanistan. They are needed to attack the GOP terrorists inside America’s own borders.

Get a clue. Obama is a joke. So is the DNC. So is what you said in your comment.
If your feelings are hurt, leave.

LOL. Obama joins Yasser Arafat among the world’s most worthy!

Let her wear her sassy K-Mart shorts to Norway!
I would provide a photo link, but alas! The infamous knarly shorts have been scrubbed from the internets.
Key West Reader on October 9, 2009 at 11:14 AM
By Terrorist they mean Joooos.
Obama, Jimmy Carter and Yasser Arafat, they all hate the jooooos and they all got the prize.

The live feed of the speech is amazing! They are showing a podium!
I think a bug just flew by.

The DNC strategy of insulting EVERYONE is brilliant. Really.

man am I one wee wee’d up terror lovin’ racist thuglican this morning…..again, what comes past hate (besides bewilderment??)
Ris4victory on October 9, 2009 at 11:16 AM
Well there are man-made disasterers and then there are terrorists…
Caper29 on October 9, 2009 at 11:16 AM
They are so far ahead of you, you can’t see them with binoculars. Too bad they own the binoculars, too.
jay12 on October 9, 2009 at 11:17 AM
Right, Hamas; who promoted Obama during the election, is who the Republicans are siding with by not supporting Obama.
Wait, that doesn’t make much sense. You want to rethink that one?
Seriously just go back to calling us Nazis for daring to ever disagree with you on anything. Its just easier and less confusing for you.
Sorry that analogies are too difficult for the DNC to work with. That has to be disappointing.
gekkobear on October 9, 2009 at 11:17 AM
The Morning Joe crowd, except for Mika B. but including Chuck Todd, were laughing about this.
They’re with the terrorists too.
BuckeyeSam on October 9, 2009 at 11:18 AM
Muahhhahahahaha… Trotting out the cheerens and looking hungover.
Obama: Dayum… you woke me from my coke-coma for this?
Key West Reader on October 9, 2009 at 11:18 AM
More proof that Democrats project big time. They always said that said they sided with the terrorists for opposing the wars and here they are saying we side with terrorists because we can’t believe that Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize.
Wow is all I can say.
MobileVideoEngineer on October 9, 2009 at 11:19 AM
You’re trying to ruin our glee. Go away.

“Ending a war”.

I wish this prissydent would sit down and STFU.
National Embarrassment.
Key West Reader on October 9, 2009 at 11:21 AM
There are so many logical knots involved in this DNC statement that it’s actually best to just ignore it. Failing that, if a Dem says it to your face, punch him or her. These really are “fighting words”, where I come from.
venividivici on October 9, 2009 at 11:23 AM
Here’s why: It’s stupid and childish, and it will come back to haunt us.
jay12 on October 9, 2009 at 11:23 AM
Only end is war.
noblejones on October 9, 2009 at 11:24 AM
Yeah, people who don’t pay attention to politics are always swayed by random blog comments.
Today is an embarrassment for the Obama Administration. It’s funny.
BadgerHawk on October 9, 2009 at 11:25 AM
They already did. Remember the DHS report?
mcassill on October 9, 2009 at 11:26 AM
Upside: at his income tax bracket, he’ll end up keeping about $600K of the $1M after tax.
Since this is found money, I wonder who he might donate it to. Wright’s church? Any ACORN outfit that still has its 501(c)(3) status? The downside of those contributions is that he effectively contributes about $600K, while taxpayers kick in the other $400K.
BuckeyeSam on October 9, 2009 at 11:26 AM
You’re right. They are way ahead of me. Unfortunately for them I am standing on the edge of a cliff wathcing them fall. They need parachutes, and all they have are binoculars. Too bad they didn’t plan ahead.
*Splat*
fogw on October 9, 2009 at 11:27 AM
That tends to happen when one side of the population tries to tell the other side what to do down to the last detail of its life.
venividivici on October 9, 2009 at 11:27 AM
Like I said in the main thread, unfortunately I think it’s an embarrassment for the U.S., not just Obama. I’m starting to think that Obama’s sole purpose is to make the U.S. a joke so it can either fold completely or be folded into the “global community” since we will no longer be a super power.
MobileVideoEngineer on October 9, 2009 at 11:27 AM
GOP are terrorist haters for saying Obama won Nobel for doing Jack and Squat. Oh wait…

Key West Reader on October 9, 2009 at 11:29 AM
In the wake of last weekend’s SNL skit HIGHLIGHTING the fact that Obama has accomplished NOTHING, this has to be the biggest WTF of 2009, if not the decade.
All we need is a quick spot from the comedian Gilbert Gottfried (as he does on those VH-1 retrosptectives) to introduce this as the “WTF Moment of 2009.”
BuckeyeSam on October 9, 2009 at 11:30 AM
Bill Ayers to keep his mouth shut.
thomasaur on October 9, 2009 at 11:31 AM
This gets better and better.
gophergirl on October 9, 2009 at 11:37 AM
Here’s why giving the award to him was stupid and shortsighted on the voters’ part — because it’s based on potential and is future-tense on what Obama will do, not on a past accomplishment he has done.
That means that it’s pretty much a crap shoot for the Nobel Committee and Obama that things won’t get worse between now and December in someplace like Iran, Afghanistan or North Korea, making the award look even more embarrassing than it does now.
jon1979 on October 9, 2009 at 11:40 AM
DNC – all wee-wee’d up. Mmmmm mmmmm mmmmm.
thebookkeeper on October 9, 2009 at 11:42 AM
I turned my pissed off feeling into a donation to the RNC. Nice work DNC.
sheikh of thornton on October 9, 2009 at 11:44 AM
Democratic voters mark their ballots for stupid and childish – who knows – this may attract them.
katiejane on October 9, 2009 at 11:48 AM
We should just move to Canada and start blowing up Sbarros. Then we’d be “brave freedom fighters.”
TheUnrepentantGeek on October 9, 2009 at 11:49 AM
I don’t want it!
Just sent a twp-word e-mail to the DNC for Mr. Woodhouse. The second word was “Off”
Trafalgar on October 9, 2009 at 11:58 AM
oops! two-word!
Trafalgar on October 9, 2009 at 11:58 AM
I have no problem being considered a terrorist by the left. Hell, I say let us follow it through to its logical conclusion.
ClassicCon on October 9, 2009 at 12:36 PM
so the circle is complete….the DNC agree that Obama IS a terrorist.
choke on the pretzel donkeys.

I saw the Hezbollah reaction to this a few hours ago and knew immediately some idiot or other would be taking this tack.
I didn’t think it would be the DNC quite this early. Methinks they protest too much.
