If You noticed, I said THOSE Socialist-Stalinistas, I did not say ALL Liberals!

While your doubting what a Poster said, Gore is a pretty big stockholder in Occidental Oil, founded by Armand Hammer, who was Gore Sr's buddie and fellow Commie!

They drill mainly in South America in the so-called PRISTINE rain forests, and here on PROTECTED Indian land in California, thanks to favorable rulings by the Interior thanks to Gore and Feinstein!!

Now do the research before you condemn me, and I see us getting along better down the road!!

Nice to see that someone thinks Gore's work has been worthwhile.
Hey .. Rush Limbaugh was nominated as well ... I'm sure you feel that it is nice to see that someone thinks his work has been worthwhile too .. right?

Landmark Legal Foundation Nominates Rush Limbaugh for 2007 Nobel Peace Prize
LEESBURG, Va., Feb. 1 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Landmark Legal Foundation today nominated nationally syndicated radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh for the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize.


Limbaugh, whose daily radio show is heard by more than 20 million people on more than 600 radio stations in the United States and around the world, was nominated for the prestigious award for his "nearly two decades of tireless efforts to promote liberty, equality and opportunity for all humankind, regardless of race, creed, economic stratum or national origin. These are the only real cornerstones of just and lasting peace throughout the world," said Landmark President Mark R. Levin.

I think Curly along with Moe, wanted Franken or Begala to win, as the INTELLIGENCE of Limbaugh DWARFS 99% of Lefties!

GIVE IT TO ALL THE WOUNDED TROOPS THAT SERVED IN IRAQ-AFGHANISTAN, AS ITS TIME FOR MEN & WOMEN "AMERICANS" TO WIN INSTEAD OF GIRLIE BOYS OR PHILOSOPHICAL PUSSIES!!!

True, but how does this qualify him for a peace prize?

Re: Gore nominated for Nobel Peace Prize

Hmmm this award is for peace right?

Only the Clinton-Gore administraton did actually bomb a few things in their 8 years like Aspirin factories and the Chinese Embassy...

Granted of course they weren't aiming for them but they did manage to actully launch the missles..i guess Limbaugh really is more deserving than Gore!

From a quote in an earlier post on the Nobel Committee:

Quote:
First, although the Norwegian Nobel Committee never formally defined "peace," in practice it came to interpret the term ever more broadly. This approach could have its pitfalls, but avoided the danger of locking the committee into fixed categories and gave the committee flexibility to adapt to new concerns.
I can't speak for the Nobel Committee, but perhaps the same broad interpretation of "peace" that they may have used in Gore's nomination was also used in Limbaugh's? I'm sure that anyone nominated is worthy of consideration.

Sounds like damage control, political talk shows instigate tensions not reduce them…

We're being deceived no more than by Bush who stated that we need to reduce our dependence on oil and look to alternative energy sources. This from a man who's family, and he personally, made their money in oil...... BTW, Bush was nominated for a Peace Prize in the past also, and he started two wars.... I don't hold much stead in the Peace Pr4ize process anymore. It's proven to be farcical at best.
