Oh my.
By the way, one is suprised by the primitive reaction to Bo getting some sort of prize; even the Die alte Sau, the dysmenopausal Kansas school teacher, is questioning it.

I am a human being first, a progressive second and a Democrat third
And I will NOT applaud the giving of a "peace" prize to a President who is continuing one useless war of choice and escalating another. Since progressive seems to equal pariah on this board now, I'll direct your attention to the ignore button right above the subject line. Might as well use it because I'm not shutting up voluntarily.
By the way, the shadowy primitive's still trying to get social security disability, but for some odd reason medical professionals seem to agree he's only mildly nuts, not too nuts to work.

3. Because I am a human being I am a Democrat and think you're just whining and complaining, much less an idiot. Nope, I can't and won't ignore stupidity.

6. That's ok. I really started this thread to gather the people I need to ignore.

14. Actually, on FR they constantly suggest "posting on DU" to people who dissent there.
Kind of creppy, hu?

7. I'm not as down on Obama as you are, but certainly there's enough there to warrant holding off.
It's premature at best and unwarranted at worst.

12. Best bullshit answer given on here lately thanks for playing.
Because the two are clearly mutually exclusive now. Whose more like the freeps?

17. "Whose more like the freeps?"
Well... who is in agreement with the freeps over the Nobel Peace Prize?
You... or me?

22. "Whose more like the freeps?" - Anti-Obama people, of course.
This has been another episode of Simple Answers To Simple Questions.

15. There you have it: if you do not agree with the majority, you cannot be a Democrat.
Exactly how does that work and who gets to determine it?

18. Didn't say that.... said there are sites more receptive to being a "progressive first"
This site is, by its charter, about and for "Democrats".
You can be a Democrat and a Progressive....

27. Well, moran, I said I was both.
But I won't be a blind party loyalist and if that is all that this site welcomes anymore then I will be taking my leave of it.

9. I agree. Ignore the blind loyalists, they're acting like Republicans anyway.

19. You are. You're looking for the political benefit in the announcement rather than....assessing the actual merits of the person that won. You can't get around your blind party loyalty. You're acting like a Republican.

Sorry... that makes me as far from Republican as one can get.

20. I haven't read one comment from a republican on the matter
I'm entirely capable of making up my own mind. Maybe it's people who think that a country involved in two wars of choice deserves to be hailed for its peaceful efforts are the ones with self determination problems.

29. Yeah, I'm sure our reasons are exactly the same.
Why don't you go log back in there for a while and give me an update.

10. Eleanor Roosevelt scratched and bit for peace for 30 years and didn't get it.
The sad thing, is I've no doubt the president might very well have earned this award a few years on.

11. Views that disagree with the majority are not welcome or appreciated.
Today you will be like the lonely soul calling for healthcare reform with a public option at a freeper infested town hall meeting.

21. But, but, but..the speeches.
He certainly deserved it for his gift of gab.
Congrats to the Prez..it's quite an honor. But, yeah, don't really see why he deserved it, NOW. In a few years, maybe. Wasn't the deadline in Feb? So he was prez. for just a few weeks. Before that, he was in campaign mode, and certainly not deserving of it when your bitching back and forth with your opponent.

24. I just think it is premature
I don't think it is a good idea to give people awards after 9 months in office. I'm not angry about it or anything, but Al Gore, Jimmy Carter, and Martin Luther King had a lifetime of work before they received it.

25. gad, the whining over this is so ****ing pathetic. As are the self-righteous piles of shit building up. ugh.

Yeah, I'm a wee bit surprised by the number of DUmmies who disagree with the award.

It seems that the ones that disagree with the award are the anti-war crowd, the same ones that applauded Cindy Sheehan's protest recently.

Proud?? What did he DO? What is there to be PROUD of? This is like being given an award for showing up to class. Something to be proud of?
Amazing.

That thread defines the term "squibble squabble".
What drivel.

How the hell is the Afghanistan war a war of choice? Because we "chose" to attack? By that logic, isn't every war in history a war of choice?
-
I know it's drivel, gobux, but I like to see them fight. Deep down, I think they all know it cheapens the prize. Like a Special Olympics trophy. It looks like an Affirmative Action cookie, a token.
