We’ve seen the wingnut-o-sphere get completely unhinged at Al Gore being rewarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Examples of that include what’s been left in my comment section, as well as Pat Buchanan getting so frothy, he denounced the Nobel Committee as being “Swedish socialists”, which is kind of hard for it to be, since the reward committee is based out of Norway. Apparently, the base root of the criticism once you cut through its rabid frothiness, is that somehow the Nobel Committee either politicized the award on giving it to Gore, or somehow “cheapened” its worth, or that Gore’s personality means he didn’t deserve to get the honour.
That said, I saw an interesting column here where the writer says that Martin Luther King faced similar types of derision - as well as the Nobel Committee - when he won the award in 1964. It neither surprises me that a) ground breakers like King and Gore would get these petty short-sighted attacks (as well as on the Nobel Committee for recognizing their groundbreaking efforts) or that b) in both cases, conservatives would be the ones involved in the personal attacks - with their reaction maybe being more virulent towards Gore then King, if that’s possible.
Algoar . . . nobel peace prize . . . nuts!!!
Al, flying around in his private jet, with several mansions, telling his sad story, even a British judge has rulled nonsense. But the lemmings on the left just follow.
Speaking of 1964 . . . remember when all the Dhimmicraps voted against the “Civil Rights Amendment”? And of course who has an ex KKK leader in the senate today . . . why the dhimmicraps of course, the noteable Sinator Byrd.
Of course when you look at the recent history of the nobel . . . Arafat, Carter, Tutu . . . Al is in good company!!!
Bet he will now run for Pres . . . too bad for Hitlery!!!
