LOLWUT?

The paper said three of five members had objections during the early phases of the process, but were persuaded in favor of Obama mainly by the chairman of the committee, former Prime Minister Thorbjoern Jagland



Yes, there was debate early on. Why wouldn't there be?

Headline needs a blinking neon sign that says "Troll !! look at me !!"

Oh wait, it already has one.

No YOU'RE a Towel: The paper said three of five members had objections during the early phases of the process, but were persuaded in favor of Obama mainly by the chairman of the committee, former Prime Minister Thorbjoern Jagland

Yes, there was debate early on. Why wouldn't there be?

No debates, just deciding! It's how Americans expect things.

It's really a shame that silent majority didn't show up to vote against this communist fascist threat to America.

Fortunately, they'll get another chance to in three years. IF HE HASN'T DESTROYED THE USA BY THEN.

You'll have to excuse our neoconservatives. The concept that you could change your mind during a discussion is foreign to them. It's much trickier than just repeating talking pints.

If you put half of our Senate Republicans on the Nobel committee, they'd give the Nobel Peace Prize to "tax cuts" every year until they died.

Well...jews did kill the first jesus....

Funny, I thought he was crucified by Roman Centurions. Which means it's the Pope's fault.

Funny, I thought that the Romans crucified him at the behest of Jewish elders.

Weird, I thought it was all Jesus' idea.

Well, technically it was God's idea.

God hates Jews. I KNEW it.

DjangoStonereaver: Looks like there's a teabagger among the mods who is bad at math.

No, it's true. He won 69.4 million votes, and there are 308 million Americans.

So, clearly that means America hates him and he should be impeached.

Why don't children want to vote?!? Where is their love of country, and their sense of duty?

Look, we're working on it. You've seen the video of schoolchildren singing to Obama. But liberal indoctrination takes time. You can't just start hanging Soviet flags everywhere or people get upset.

why wait? some people would say that hypothetically a military coup and/or kkk revolt is the best way to protect america and her constitution.

There are only a few things that could get me to bust out the arms and fight. One of them is to defend the US from jackbooted racist morons.

At the risk of sounding like George Bush and an ITG, "Bring it on."

Dear Subby,

Try some of this

Sincerely yours,
All the rest of us

Yea, pretty much this.

Maybe like anyone else with half a brain they saw hime as the lesser of two evils? He has definitely done more for peace than former German chancellor Helmut Kohl, Chinese dissident Wei Jingsheng, Israeli nuclear whistle-blower Mordechai Vanunu, and SOS Children's Villages.

I sometimes wonder what would happen if voting were required by law. Yes, I know, that's not legal and there's no way to really enforce it but what if every single person over the age of 18 and legally able to vote did so?

I'll save you the trouble of making me laugh at you by going ahead and confirming that it would not, as some would think, mean that either the Democrats or the Republicans would stay in power forever if everyone voted.

It's tedious.

Epoch_Zero: Seriously. .. Seriously?

That's funny. I didn't think voter turnout was anywhere close to 100%. The number was closer to 60%. So even if he had won 75% of the vote that would have been less than half of eligible Americans. Subby is right.

Don't be so sure. It worked for years for the PRI in Mexico.

50% of the country reads the news. It scares me that anyone votes who isn't informed. Force even more dumbasses to vote and we're in for even worse trouble. Look how many stupid Republican teabaggers are out there "Obama is a Muslim and the congragation will damn him to purgatory", or how many Democrat Welfare queens. "Obama gonna pay my mortgage, I ride the ACORN bus to vote"

Epoch_Zero: I vote. Therefore I have a right to complain. I say if you don't vote you have no right to complain about an outcome you don't like.

Well I think the subby deserves an apology.

They probably should have gotten off of their fat asses and voted for themselves, eh?

Awww, did one of your alts get its feelings hurt?

The republicans are angry because they want something different put around Obama's neck.



There's no hate like neocon hate.

Actually I lol'd because this is true (your sarcasm is also noted). Those poor, poor kids. I mean, this happened in New Jersey so it's gotta be wrong.

"The decision was unanimous," Jagland said when announcing the prize. Jagland, from the ruling Labour Party, was recently elected Secretary-General to the Council of Europe.
