President Barack Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize

[Sarah G]

So, you link to Maddow. Cool. But those of us who don't watch Limbaugh or Beck are supposed to take your word for it that they were not laughing? Sorry, not going to happen. Link?

Have you listened to the link I provided?

Um, dear? You said you heard comments from Limbaugh and Beck that were angry. I take no one's word for anything.

Links?

Check the link you provided. It's to a summary of BHO's approval polls.

Sorry, I was looking at that too. Anyway, the comments from Glenn Beck and Limbaugh should also be in the video.

Then gee? Don't you THINK it's a wonderful thing that *WE* afforded them the oppritunity to figure this out for themselves?

What a wonderful thing Liberation *IS*, that they are afforded that oppritunity, rather than "Our WAY of the highway" [DEATH] for even going that direction if it were LEFT to the Taliban?

Again? You demonstrate two-demensional thinking. YES I ad mit to asking you for sources...but the underlying POINT has been because WE were there gave them the oppritunity to question it.

Game, SET, Match.

Thank you for playing.

You'll receive the Home Game instead.

Except we haven't allowed them to figure this out for themselves. It is only due to certain parties stepping in that the questioning has been allowed to occur. We have sat by as we allowed him to steal the election. Women have no rights, once again. This is no different than the Taliban. That is not Liberation.

We also haven't given them the opportunity to truly question it.

I want you to tell me how this is different than the Taliban in terms of rights in Afghanistan for women and in general.

Women have no rights. Go figure. It's the kind of society the people want. It would have happened whether we toppled saddam or the iraqi people overthrew him.

An interesting take on Obama's Nobel from Rachel Maddow. I wanted to post the transcript but it isn't out yet so if anyone would like to hear a logical argument from the Left on this award:

RealClearPolitics - Election Other - President Obama Job Approval

As far as the angry right comments, I heard Rush Limbaugh's and Glenn Beck's. Their comments were definately not laughter it was anger. The right insists that the Nobel itself is a joke, Obama winning it is a joke and any past Democratic winner would be a joke yet they continue to complain bitterly about it every single year.

Who are they trying to convince?

Did you mean to post the RCP Job Approval Rating???? I thought you were referencing Mad Cow???

I did find this interesting about polls (this is for you to dogbert)......

Now the RCP President Obama Job Approval Poll says he is +12, yet they also say that the Direction of the Country Poll is -22???

In Iraq too, but I'm talking about Afghanistan. My point is that we did not liberate. Especially when almost half the country has no rights.

if you were to read "The Hitler Myth", this may sound very familiar.

 

[Modbert]

if you were to read "The Hitler Myth", this may sound very familiar.

Did it take 53 pages for perhaps the first Hitler reference? Can anyone verify this?

It's not really a Hitler reference. It's a reference to how politics works.

No. Someone mentioned early in that Hitler was nominated for the prize in 1939. Then someone later claimed that he actually won the prize.

All threads get Godwin'ed by page 7 or 8. You know that.

In those societies? They didn't! Great observation. Our sweat/Blood made it so.

To hear the left? They seem to be outraged. Where are the Women's groups in this countyry that seem to be apparently missing on their sisters over there being oppressed, and the fact that WE gave them the RIGHT to VOTE?

Awesome thought.

 

[Modbert]

It's not really a Hitler reference. It's a reference to how politics works.

But it fulfills Godwin's Law.

And I understand the point you're trying to get across. However, in this case, those same people may not blame Obama for their problems but other factors. Obama can't solve every problem as much as he may want to try.

 

[Modbert]

Did they really? If you could me show, so I could point and call them a fucktard.

And that's what I figured. 53 pages to be Godwin'ed is too long.

I was referring to the gap between the approval rating of the man vs the approval rating of whether the country is going in the right direction. Kershaw's book explains how this can happen.

Obviously. But the reactionaries get all knee-jerky easily.

Women have no rights in Afghanistan and Iraq in the present. It will only get worse over time until eventually it's business as usual. We did not liberate and we can not liberate until women get rights in these countries. Since they do not have rights, these countries are not liberated.

I am surprised it lasted this long.
