DNC official: GOP siding with terrorists – Politico

A top Democratic National Committee official reacted furiously to a statement from Republican Party Chairman Michael Steele mocking — and describing as “unfortunate” — President Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize.

“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.

    Obama is the one with no shame for accepting the prize after admitting he didn't deserve it.
  • JEWHAWK
    President Acorn Hussein KNOWS that he did NOT deserve the Nobel Prize.
    It was LAUGHABLE.
    The NPP is TOO POLITICIZED.It became detached to the reality.

    Having written about this matter previously I should apologise for harping on about it, but ever since the announcement was made I have not been able to rid my mind of it. As a scientist, the words Nobel Prize mean something almost sacred to me. They immediately conjure up such names as Einstein, Pauling, Curie, Bohr, Feynman, Fleming, Bragg(s), Rutherford, Thomson, Millikan, Sanger, Perutz and a host of other giants who changed our world for the better. Then we had Steinbeck and Churchill, whose luminous prose elevated us to ecstasy. Perhaps it is a comparatively straightforward matter to bequeath the prize for physics or chemistry or medicine (perhaps not), for there is something concrete and even immediate about them. Literature? Not so cut and dried. Opinion plays a far greater role. The Peace prize? What is it for? For those who strive for peace? Surely not. There is something far more nebulous about it. Was Mother Teresa rewarded for her efforts to bring about world peace, or for her efforts to improve the lot of the starving and downtrodden of a city in India? There's a difference. Was Yasser Arafat seen as a campaigner for peace and the brotherhood of man? Did he subdue his religious and territorial ambitions in order to pursue a greater cause? If so, please educate me. Did Jimmy Carter advance the cause of world peace through his actions to caponise America and foster Soviet military supremacy? Did the Nobel committee frown upon Reagan for his successful efforts to redress the balance and thus defuse the world of its nightmarish scenario? Did they shake their heads in anguish when the Soviet Union collapsed as a result of Reagan's foresight? Would a modern Neville Chamberlain and his cronies be lavished with Nobel Peace Prizes for their blindness and cowardice? I believe they would. Would those of Vichy France be similarly lauded? I believe they would. Will they bestow next year's prize upon Robert Mugabe? They have the runs on the board to do such a thing.

    Obama took office on January-the-something of this year. Nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize closed on February the 1st. Tell me, Obama fanciers: what did your man do during those 20 or so days that was so deserving of the Peace Prize. Have you ever heard about a small Burmese woman who has been incarcerated in her country by a military junta for God knows how long because of her stand for democracy? Obama is more deserving than she? What has your boy done for her? What has he done for poor old Morgan in Zimbabwe? What are his views about Tibet? Better than Nixon's, I hope, but I shan't hold my breath. You might reply that Bush did not give evidence of such concerns either, but he did not win the Nobel Peace Prize, did he?
