come on guys, the first weapon is lazy thinking is hyperbole. not every evil is the WORST evil (comparison's to Hitler or Satan), not every mistake is the WORST mistaken (destroying america) and not every aspect of value-based action is the MOST heinous just because it's not your values (raping american values).
very likely, yes, this was a move on the part of the Nobel committee that was largely political in nature... it wouldn't be the first time the Nobel Peace prize was handed out for political reasons... for example, al gore won a Nobel peace prize for "an inconvenient truth." now, i could understand the team of advising scientists for the movie winning the peace prize, kind of, but i'd be more apt to award them the Nobel Prize for Chemistry... a much lesser noted Nobel Prize, but no less substantial for the offering. Al was a paid spokesman of slipshod science... how exactly does that engender "to the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses." (that quote is albert nobel's requirements for the awarding of the peace prize.) we're also talking about an award that was at one point awarded to Yasser Arafat, but was never awarded to Mahatma Gandhi. again, the Nobel committee is not above question on some of their choices.
let's also at this point remember that this is an international committee, not a bunch of "lefty americans" so that rhetoric doesn't hold water. lefties aren't any more to blame for this decision. some crazy norweigans and swedes are to blame. you wanna gripe and protest? take your ikea figure cabinets, stuff them w/ smoked halibut and ABBA records, then go out on the front lawn and burn them in effigy!
lastly, if i can posit a theory... maybe they awarded barack a peace prize simply cuz he's a douchebag righty? he's still MILES ahead of bush for speaking to other nations, for seeking a renewel of the diplomatic discourse w/ the rest of the world that the previous administration refused to engage in, and he's not pursuing an openly (and futily) imperialistic agenda like bush did... maybe this is a condescending "pat on the head and give a milkbone" gesture to america for chosing a PERSON rather a puppet to a cold war profiteer to run our country?
admit it, the thing that gals you right leaners the worst is that the very thing you can FACTUALLY accuse Obama of is being as impotent in office as most of your stooges? despite good rhetoric, he hasn;t actually done #$##! so all this "he's raping america, he's trying to make us all forget god and have homosexuals marrying in the streets and he wants us all to turn Blackrican American," chest thumping bullshit is pointless until the guy actually DOES ANYTHING! so far, he's talked a good game... which again, puts him 1000 leagues ahead of the previous assclown to hold office who couldn't talk himself into eating broccoli. you one-note wonders on the right need to quit letting sarah palin write your talking points.
