Limbaugh is a hate monger that gets paid an awful ot of money to lie and spew propagnanda. Limbaugh sends his household help to procure his illegal drugs. Why are you so defensive of this scummy person? Could it be that just because you hate Obama so much you would condone the trash that is Limbore?

This year they received the highest number of nominations ever. I'd imagine the thought may have have occured to the nominator(s) on election night. I have never seen an election where folks around the world were gathered together with tears of joy streaming down their cheeks.

From their release: "Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world's attention and given its people hope for a better future."... ...

TAKE OFF THE OBAMA CONTACT LENSES FOR A MINUTE.

Is that fair to the 200 others who had been toiling up to that point???
He was nominated for the Prize for the fact that he was elected. The HOPE that he represented to so many people, particularly younger, in the U.S. So many people who would not have even voted were it not for what he represented. He was nominated for the Prize for a similar HOPE he represented to so many throughout the world. The prize was awarded for the anticipation of what might come to be. How much he will actually be able to accomplish, we will see.

One more time, now listen close: Nobody hates Obama. It's his policies that are the issue. How many times do we need to say that?
If you really believe that, then you have your head buried in the sand, or you live in a bubble. Now you listen and listen close. Do you think racism is dead just because we have a black president? How many times do we need to say that it isn't? If it's only his policies that are the issue, then please explain the following video, from the pastor of a church nonetheless. And this is from a sermon during one of his church services. He goes on to say that God hates Barack Obama. This is more common than you think or realize. I'll be waiting for your explanation.

You won't get a response; those with a RW blood type only ask questions.
If the GOP had any alternative policies or shame due to the actions of the RW they would have trotted them out by now. Instead it's all about entitlement...how dare that bi-racial man be more intelligent than I am. How dare that bi-racial man be more successful than I am. How dare that bi-racial man actually get elected president. Now we have fruitcakes parading as ministers telling us that God hates the president...as if every preacher is infallible, and that a loving God would approve of such an evil sentiment. Racism is alive and thriving in America; it's certainly obvious on this forum.

And just how exactly was this a racist comment?

Or is it just another case of someone saying something you liberals don't like so you call them a racist?
