Limbaugh: Obama Nobel a Bid to 'Emasculate' US

Rush, fellow conservatives jump all over award

By Kevin Spak| Posted Oct 9, 09 11:28 AM CDT|

(Newser) – Rush Limbaugh doesn’t think the Nobel committee members were trying to honor President Obama—he thinks they’re trying to “emasculate" the United States. “With this ‘award’ the elites of the world are urging Obama, THE MAN OF PEACE, to not do the surge in Afghanistan,” he wrote in an e-mail to Politico. “They love a weakened, neutered US.” He added that he thought the award was a “greater embarrassment” than losing the 2016 Olympics.

Other conservatives sounded the same theme. “Utterly ridiculous,” said one GOP strategist. “The credibility of the Nobel Peace Prize has … hit rock bottom.” Mike Huckabee, with his eye on Obama's job, struck a slightly less inflammatory note: "The better response is simply to allow those on the left to explain what he did in his first two weeks as president that merited such recognition."

At the invitation of Gov. Huckabee and LibertyMan below I happily rejoin the debate. I did so until the wee hours and finally wised up and got some sleep. Now I'm raring to go again. Read my posts on the other Peace Prize stories. I won't repetitively repeat my arguments here. What I want to say here is that I feel like the Nobel Peace Prize Committee just reached out and gave each and every American a pat on the back to say, "Well done, cousins." And for once we deserve the vote of confidence. What other nation has done anything as bold and admirable in the process of governing itself in the last 100 years? When Michael Gorbachev received his prize, it was likewise a vote of confidence for the people of the former Soviet Union. And if Putin were to take steps to shore up democracy in Russia I would hope he would be similarly honored. As for Obama's accomplishments, yes the nomination came when he was "barely president", perhaps based on the course he charted in his famous inaugural address, but the committee has had many months since then to deliberate, and at this point the members obviously believe that our President's efforts have been significant and are deserving of whatever support they can give. Think of it as a MacArthur genius award for World Leadership. Yes, such prizes are designed to catalyze, stimulate, and nourish further accomplishments. What better reason is there to give such awards? For once why can't Americans simply be proud of their country and their leader. It is juvenile and wrong headed to reveal ourselves as a nation of ungrateful churls before the world.

@ proud_prude. I hear you.

A frame of reference which is still being impelled along the vector of the last administration's "imperial hubris."

As they come up dry with vapid answers about his World ApologyTour and how his anti-American rehtoric and Bush bashing is good for our image among the Euro Trash Crowd and Russkies wanting thier Super Power status back.So let us withold any tinged crticism of the Messiah for now. Lets let the Liberal Socialists have their little warm tingle up the leg as they dance around on the end of a needle trying to explain how objective this decison was and all the wars he has stopped, all the peace he has brought forth. Hell, it might even convince the Israelis to hold off bombing Iran back into the Stone Age for a few more months. Who knows? The Messiah is such a positive influnce on world events, after all.

From the article [conservative strategist Craig Shirley] : "Reagan won the Cold War, freed millions, yet was never awarded the Nobel.” ---- Yeah. I don't think they give the Peace Prize to jingoistic militarists. The Right continues to perpetuate the myth of St. Ronnie's slaying of the Iron Curtain dragon. In actuality, the Soviet Union was on a crash course with economic and demographic destiny. On the other hand, our nation continues to suffer from the steriods Reagan introduced into the military-industrial feeding cycle. Reply

Like reinstating some of the worst parts of the patriot act and begin the push for extended war in Afghanistan? He does not deserve the prize for the minor good things he has done seeing as the bad things totally outweigh them. He's a member of the corporate war party and it's sad to see him awarded with a peace prize. It is ironic to hear Rush criticize it though. As someone who supports the war party, you'd think he would love to see an artificial face of peace plastered on that devil. Also, what is he talking about Obama loving a "a weakened, neutered US"? Clearly that's crap. He is as big business/imperialist as any other president we have had since Nixon. People like Rush are why it's so hard to criticize the democracts. Everyone thinks that if yr against Obama you must be a republican/conservative. A word to everyone here; the real left doesn't like him either.

"Flush" Limbaugh doesn't realize that Norway has the right to give ANYONE the Nobel Peace prize they choose to...it's their award NOT his! Duhhhh...and the fact is that they probably gave it to Obama because by defeating the Republican war machine in the election he did more for peace than any American in the last eight years! Imagine McCain and Palin bringing peace to the mid-east? Sending Palin to the U.N. to discuss policies? McCain meeting with the Iranians? Norway is T H E E number one country to live in as a result of their excellent health care, educational system, percentage of elected women, environment, wages, low crime, etc. That these fine people choose Obama for the Nobel Peace Prize is a great honor, no matter what the Limbaugh, Hannity, Coulter, Beck, et al Obama hating loonies yell and scream about.
