Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs

In the immediate wake of President Obama being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, a lot of right-wingers have simply gone nuts over it.

To be very clear, we're not talking about any old criticism or disagreement. Reasonable people can believe this award was not deserved and that Obama has not at this time demonstrated the true accomplishments required. (Unreasonable people can do it, too -- Glenn Beck's got a pretty good joke about it.) We're talking about real over the top invective.

Jealous the only Republicans to win were Henry Kissinger, who talked peace but didn't stop the Vietnam War, and Teddy Roosevelt, who accomplished a lot domestically.

"Roosevelt attempted to move the Republican Party in the direction of Progressivism, including trust busting and increased regulation of businesses. Roosevelt coined the phrase "Square Deal" to describe his domestic agenda, emphasizing that the average citizen would get a fair shake under his policies."

If the GOP did this they'd stand a chance of being taken seriously.

LOL! I knew it. When I went to the backpage and saw this headline I said to myself it had to be frankie.


It has to be a good unbiased article when the fourth sentence is a ad hominem aimed at Glenn Beck. That's what a good honest journalist would do. *snark off*

Yellow journalism from a yellow reporter for yellow dogs.

How fitting.

It has to be a good unbiased article when the fourth sentence is a ad hominem aimed at Glenn Beck.

Calling a man "unreasonable" and then complimenting his sense of humor is now an ad hominem?

Yellow journalism? Really?

All I see is a selection of accurate quotes that back up a provocative headline.

Is Chavez a rightie?

Jay Leno said winning the Nobel was the only thing he has done in office.

"For the first time, we are witnessing an award with the nominee having done nothing to deserve it: rewarding someone for a wish that is very far from becoming reality."

Chavez said giving Obama the Nobel award was like giving a baseball pitcher a prize simply for saying he was going to win 50 games and strike out 500 batters.

Copied from the comments on the link, by UTMark:

So I'm thinking Obama's Nobel Peace Prize was really a meant to be shared by the American voting public. Perhaps for this year it should really be named the 2009 "Given All the Daunting and Frightening Problems the World Faces
We Are Just Beside Ourselves With Relief That George W. Bush Is Gone and You Idiot Americans Elected a Reasonable, Intelligent, and Pragmatic Guy Rather Than Another Arrogant, Clueless Disaster-Mongering Jerkwad As Your President" award.

2009 - Barack Obama

2007 - Al Gore


2002 - Jimmy Carter


1994 - Yasser Arafat

HA HA HA HA LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL...

Wow who would have thought Big swinging Dick Barack Obama would have something in common with YASSER ARAFAT, too funny...

personally i dont give a damn about the Peace Prize. More intrested in the Science prizes myself. But i would Like to know exactly what Mr. Obama has done to merit the award. Seriously not trying to troll or be harassing I just want to know what he has done or accomplished to be awarded this prize. For the life of me I can't think of anything. Not being negative just pointing out that I can see anything special comes to mind.

It reminds me of Time's "Man Of The Year Awards".

You righties go right ahead and whine.
THAT'S the real reason I put this up, SPECIFICALLY to give you morons something more to whine about....

ENJOY!

I just HAPPENED to switch the remote through abc and the view came up and the guest was good looking so I left it on for just a moment

and one of the twats...bahar I think went, into the bitch routine about right wingers.

I kept thinking...yeah its like you getting an emmy for a show that you have THIS YEAR....

or it could even be like her getting a man to have sex with her...you might do it but you wouldnt brag about it.

The were pitching fits when Yaser Arafat won too, nothing new here.

Funny, it reminds me of the "Who Wins Elections Award"

But the World thinks he is a 'laughingstock'......you just keep believing that........

yes, we're all running amock over this issue. i can barely speak through my pursed, right-wing lips.

Obama gets the National Placebo Award.

Show me a single rightwinger on the DR who has posted anything reflecting pride over the fact that the American President has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

None? Okay. But then they shouldn't why the rest of us dismiss them as useless, bitter and angry NOPhers.

So let's see... a bunch of useless socialist gives Obama an award for talking a lot of shit...

Don't see where I care. Did he do anything to deserve a "peace" prize? No, but they weren't giving away MY money, which is what congress is in the process of trying to do.

I am thus MUCH more upset about the shit that is happening than the shit he says he might someday attempt.

FTA: Kristol also suggested that a different American get it: "We could note that, if the Norwegians wanted to give the Nobel Peace Prize to an American, it would have been been better to give it to Sen. John McCain for having the guts to push through the surge in Iraq, which has brought relative peace to that country. But that would be overkill." If you buy into the theory that this award is really a celebration of George W. Bush and his policies being gone from the international sphere, then Kristol has really missed the boat.

Bill Kristol missed the boat?

You kidding?

That guy's been standing on the wrong pier fer years.

That noted Kristol classical misinterpretation there indicates that while he may have missed the boat he certainly cleared the sharks.

^_^

Be Well.

None? Okay. But then they shouldn't why the rest of us dismiss them as useless, bitter and angry NOPhers.

i stopped caring when they gave the award to Arafat. It's almost an "opposite" award now. So, when an American gets it, it's a kind of disgrace.

Don't dig too deep. Why Did Al Gore also win as well? Agenda 21

If Ms. Nancy is convinced that the Nobel is "a useless award awarded only to inane leftistas," I wonder what the official line from Konservative Kriststers is about that award going to Kissinger. herm
