Ah, you have to love the predictability of Pravda FOX News Channel. When Al Gore won the Nobel Peace Prize, you KNOW they started scrambling to find ways to diminish him. And Friday, they found their mouthpiece in the conservative NY Sun's Seth Gitell.
Gitell thinks that the Nobel committee awarded the Peace Prize to the wrong American, arguing that it should have gone to...wait for it...Gen. David Petraeus.
So the general presiding over a horrendous civil war of our own making, responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and the displacement of millions more, not to mention the deaths of more than 3,800 American troops should be given the Peace Prize???
I don't think that even Orwell could have imagined FOX News.

You can't fix stupid.
"Fox & Friends: If WE could select the Nobel Prize...."
And if David Duke could select the Nobel Prize....but like him fox you can't so stfu.
I think Fox News is the logical conclusion of Orwell's model.
Yeah? Well you cant. So STFU!
Makes as much damn sense as Henry Kissinger.
Typical Moran of a ReichWinger buttwipe. Al Gore's being awarded the Noble Peace Prize was clearly a
travesty. But Genrul 'Betrayus' is not the man who should have gotten it!
No!
Only one human on this planet truly deserves this this year and that would be:
The Colossus of the CodPiece
My logic is simple this leader has created the opportunity for a generation of Peace Prizes to be awarded....

Can you imagine that 27% of 300m Americans would e sympathetic to this? That's about 100,000,000 people

Most of them are one or more of the following: Old, Insane, Ignorant, Evil.
If Faux could pick the Nobel Prize winner...
Oooh, let me guess!
(a) Dubya
(b) Cheney
(c) Josef Goebbels
(d) all of the above
Wow, a head-scratcher for sure!
Laughing - can't stand up - stop it!! - Stop it I say!! Oh my god . . . you're killing me ... stop it - please - stop it . . . . OMG - I think I peed my pants - please stop . . . .

Too funny - heard this yesterday. It really stands out for the extraordinary level of WTF!! it reaches. It is COMPLETELY surreal that Faux news would even PRETEND to presume to such self-importance.
Have someone man the phones Ailes - I'm sure the Nobel Committee is desperately trying to reach you for consultation even as I write . . . .

What possible justification could they use for awarding the Nobel Peace Prize to David Petraeus. David Petraeus had nothing to do with what happened in Anbar Province. Are they suggesting that the Nobel Peace Prize should be awarded based on a myth, or the product of political spin. If they want to award the Nobel Prize for what happened in Anbar Province, then they should nominate the Sheiks who took the initiative months before David Petraeus took command in Iraq.
C&L: "displacement of thousands more"
I think a bit more research is needed by the C&L staff.
The humanitarian situation in Iraq continues to deteriorate with the number of displaced Iraqis, both inside and outside the country, rising. Now, an estimated 4.2 million Iraqis are have been uprooted from their homes, with the monthly rate of displacement climbing to over 60,000 people compared to 50,000 previously,
Relief Web
20% of Iraq's population...not thousands.
Yeah, and the Nobel Prize for science should go to the Discovery Institute.
Watching Faux News is like taking a trip to Opposite World. Up becomes down, left becomes right, and I get so dizzy I almost throw up.
Reich-wingers are claiming that the NPP is fraudulent, yet they think a General should win it? Jebus, reich-wingers really is the party of flawed "logic".
What in the world makes these idiots think that the rest of the planet has to play along with this anti-Bush equals anti-America? The arrogance is beyond astounding.
It never fails to amaze me. Just when I think the Fox "news channel ?" couldn't possibly get any dumber they go and prove me wrong... again! :0
Listen to the very end of the clip when they admit on air that Petraeus is a conservative!! LOL. oops
wow. these idiots are beyond parody.
Petraeus for a PEACE PRIZE?!! The riech-wingers have lost ALL their marbles: Martin Luther King, Jr. is probably rolling over in his grave!!!
When I watch videos of Fox News I always get the feeling that something is missing. I finally realized what it is. It’s the “laugh track”. The laughter is what’s missing. (Except my own.) Geebus. What a bunch of maroons.
Restoring order (not really) after you created the disorder is not something to be reward.
Hmmm, and they are upset about conservatives not getting peace prizes... maybe they should examine the conservative view of peace.
This was SO wrong in so many ways. The guy they brought in was wrong - the surge did not do what he said it did. Then, the Fox guys trying to put words in his mouth - and when he said Gore was good - they had to keep trying until he finally bit. If you ever saw that bad movie with Al Pacino and Keanu Reeves where you could see these people were really demons - that's kind of what the guy on the left reminded me of - the other one just seems generally insufferable
I don't know if Petraeus deserves a Nobel PEACE Prize, but he certainly deserves an Oscar.
After losing thousands of weapons, which now be in our enemies's hands, he convinces everyone he's the one who can win this nonsense.
Roket @ 23:
With coconut?
There's only been two Generals who have been awarded the Peace Prize since World War II: General George Marshall and Le Duc Tho. Marshall was a tactical genius, proponent of the Marshall Plan and attacked by McCarthy for the Korean War. I some how doubt Fox would want to bring up Tho in comparison to Petreus. In other words, it takes a hell of a lot more for a general to be awarded the peace prize that the mess Petreus has continued to lead.
bmw 528 @ 1:
I prefer we try so they can't breed.
Incredible. How could anyone think Faux News has any credibility at this point?
BTW, Kucinich 08
Fox plagiarizes. Orwell said it first. War is peace.
Yeah, that's like given Fox News an Edward R. Murrows award in journalism. LOL!
A Nobel Dispute? There's no real dispute. They just don't like it.
I don't think I've ever laughed harder in my life.
A Nobel Dispute: Should Gore Have Won?
You gotta love the Fox News for sticking with the false controversy/strawman approach. They sure know their audience.
Larry Craig deseved the Nobel.
He was looking for some piece.
BUSH AWARDED THE NOBEL ‘PIECE’ PRIZE
ysbaddaden @ 36:
Nice one,
"Fox & Friends: If WE could select the Nobel Prize…"
It would be known as "The Booby Prize"
miss_kitty @ 39:
And the first winner would be Pamela Anderson.
Is it just me, or have you noticed that even Fox can't say "fair and balanced" anymore with a straight face. Their use of the word "news" in their name is what Orwell spoke up 60 years ago. Hitler also used the word "news" when he spread his propaganda on German radio and newspapers. But the guest on Fox News are always shouting, the people that don't agree with us are like Hitler. Is this crazy world?
Jack Canney @ 41:
Larry Craig has a hard time too.
Fux News is all f**ked up! At least they didn't say cheney/bush!
Bet if Fux News was around in 1942-1945 they would have chosen Hitler - for getting rid of them pesky, christian-hating Jews who were fomenting all that trouble in Germany.
Dennis Kucinich deserves the Nobel Peace prize next year. Just read his speech to the Latino Congresso recently Its amazing!
Here's a highlight:
...Now the people in the Administration of George Bush better remember their Miranda rights, because when I'm elected President I'm going to see that they are arrested. I'm not kidding here! I want to let you to know something; how I feel about what's happened to our country. We have been led into a war based upon lies -- an unjust a war. We've seen our civil liberties taken away because of lies. The President, the Vice President, the Secretary of State, and the Secretary of Defense are all part of this. They're going to be held accountable under the law. If someone runs a traffic light, they'll get a ticket here. There are a million dead Iraqis and almost 4,000 dead American soldiers as a result of this war. Where is the accountability?
.
To the Reich...
War = peace.
Yep, give a medal to the General who currently is overseeing our clusterfuck and, who accepted a partisan political appointment to address Congress and present
hisBush's views of the "success".agreed: Fire can be a threat to a person's security and safety.
agreed: Society deserves to have a fire fighting crew that is well trained and provided with the most up-to-date equipment and supplies.
Q U E S T I O N:
What kind of society keeps a Fire Chief that insists on setting more fires just so that his firemen can stay in harms way so that they may have the experience they need to defeat fire to the tune of 3,800 deaths and rising.
.
Another highlight from Dennis Kucinich's speech to the Latino Congresso:
So when I say cancel NAFTA, what I mean is that we go to Mexico and renegotiate a trade agreement. And what are the principles of that trade agreement? That all workers will have the right to organize, the right to collective bargaining, the right to strike, the right to decent wages and benefits, the right to a secure retirement, the right to a safe workplace. It will mean prohibitions on child labor, slave labor, and prison labor. It will mean that the air and the water are protected. It is time to have a President of the United States who will stand up for workers, who will stand up for immigrants, who will stand up for working immigrants, who will stand up for those who have documents, who will stand up for those who don't have documents, who will stand up for human beings. We must realize that there is no such thing as an illegal human being. We need a President who will stand up for the people!
And here's the link to the entire speech:

Yeah, you can't, so STFU!!
ysbaddaden @ 40:
The day that Gore was announced winner, I visited Foxnews.com. That story was buried in the entertainment section. The top two main stories of the day were about Anna Nicole-Smith, and Captain America returning with a new uniform. How infantile, juvenille, and disinterested in political discourse is their audience that that becomes a top story?!?
Charles @ 48:
That's one of the reasons I hated the Captain America TV series of the early 80's with Reg Brown (I think). They changed his uniform so it looked like he was Evel Knieval's kid.
That, and you can't do super-hero shows on tellie if tellie forbids violence.
Oh yeah, why would Anna Nicole Smith return in a new uniform?
45 Max-1
Our current clusterfuck is called Iraq
Our past clusterfuck was called Studio 54.
How about the "Best ass-kissing and propaganda-catapulting to get promoted" prize? I'm sure we can find prizes for the Bushie political appointees without having to lie about it.
Well if they had a Nobel War Prize, the Bushies would have it five years running!
Not to mention Hannity and his cast of retards discussing Al Gore and whether Gore is a hypocrite. At least Gore is trying to be helpful and not just going on tv and radio with a singular purpose to slam and smear people. Jealous much?
Rupert Murdoch for the Nobel Prize in Fiction. The guy is a master of the genre!
Late to party, so let me state that these guys at Fox have to be on serious crack. Or if not, there must be a serious crack in their heads. Again, how can anyone take Pravda seriously these days?
Charles @ 48:
I would hope they stay disinterested until . . . oh, late November next year ought to do it.
thank you very much, seth...
more proof that opinions are like assholes...
everybody has one...
and, with the one they like, you too can find yourself blathering away on fox news...
Fox wingnut:
It's always about the persecuted fucktards in the GOP, isn't it? A member of the reality-based community says something they disagree with, gets acknowledged for good work, and the reward obviously must have been given because people hate and persecute Bush.
Maybe Petraeus could get the Nobel Prize for literature based on his many optimistic writings on Iraq published in the media. They do have a fiction category don't they?
Maybe not a Nobel Peace prize for Petraeus, but certainly an apology from certain Congressmen would be in order:
Better Numbers
The evidence of a drop in violence in Iraq is becoming hard to dispute.
Sunday, October 14, 2007;
Washington Post
.....This doesn't necessarily mean the war is being won. U.S. military commanders have said that no reduction in violence will be sustainable unless Iraqis reach political solutions -- and there has been little progress on that front. Nevertheless, it's looking more and more as though those in and outside of Congress who last month were assailing Gen. Petraeus's credibility and insisting that there was no letup in Iraq's bloodshed were -- to put it simply -- wrong.
Another Fox wingnut:
Omigod! One of them is a communiss terrist!
These Foxtards are undergoing hysterics. Someone grab the smelling salts.
The New York WHAT?
What's that? One of those things that shows up in your mailbox every Thursday? Why would we care what anyone from this rag has to say?
dennis @ 61:
If violence is dropping it may be due in large part that they're are less people to attack. There's a huge number of refugees heading for Syria (Sunni), and Iran (Shia).
The last man standing in a pile of corpses he killed can say, "See, the violence is dropping."
Maybe Petraeus could get the Nobel Prize for literature based on his many optimistic writings on Iraq published in the media. They do have a fiction category don’t they?
:)
If I owned Fux Use every one of those empty heads would be pounding the pavement.
News Hounds
Nobel Prizes and nominations are just a tool for Fox... remember?
News Hounds
We watch FOX so you don't have to.
Sean Hannity Misrepresents Doctor in Schiavo Case
Reported by Ellen - March 22, 2005
Last night, on Hannity & Colmes, Sean Hannity three times identified Dr. Bill Hammesfahr, a physician who claims that Terri Schiavo can be rehabilitated, as having been nominated for a Nobel prize. In fact, it appears Dr. Hammesfahr was never formally nominated. According to the Nobel Prize website, "The Nobel Committee receives many informal letters with invalid nominations. These are not included among the documents examined by the Nobel Committee." According to Dr. Hammesfahr's website, the only "nomination" he seems to have received is one such "informal letter" from a Congressman.
Fox can dream all they want, but people living in reality believe Gore deserved it.
Bush and his cohorts will NEVER get the Nobel Peace Prize.
The prize is given to those who use their brains and intelligence for the good of human kind.
There are no signs of intelligence, reality, common sense, knowledge, or wisdom on the far right. It's all Ego and Greed on that side.
It's a PEACE PRIZE, hence the term PEACE - idiots at Fox.
Did Fox News complain when Wangari Muta Maathai won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2004 for her Green Belt Movement planting roughly 20 million trees in Africa. I don't remember anyone saying that had nothing to do with promoting peace.
the rapture bunnies on Faux think science is a commie plot. They love Petraeus even though he "lost" 190,000 weapons in Iraq and thousands of troops have died and tens of thousands wounded and millions of Iraqis have moved to Syria and Jordan or other parts of Iraq because they weren't the "right" background
Predictably, the conservative chattering class and its amen corner in the right-wing blogosphere are apoplectic about the Nobel Peace Prize awarded to Al Gore. But their rage and angst about the Nobel Committee's "politicized awards" for "mass exaggerators" and "deceptive rhetoric" isn't merely a function of the inconvenient truth of the success of Gore's global warming campaign. No, the rugged individualists of the right are just hopping mad that they never win prizes designed to recognize contributions to, well, the rest of humanity.
To remedy this perpetual slight, then, here are:
"Conservative Nobel Prizes We'd Like to See."
dennis @ 61:
Is this drop in violence before, or after Petraeus' report re-classified assassinations as only caused by gunshots to the back of the head? Or was it to the front? I forget, since previously the world counted it an assassination if the target ended updead.
Without going into too much detail, I'd have to ask if you have anything other than an obvious piece of political hackery masquerading as a news story. Peddle your horseshit to someone more gullible, thanks much.
Uncle Tom on the right. Who is he?
[...] d’habitude la palme revient
Admittedly, giving the prize to Petraeus is silly, but this post is written lazily from both a grammatical and polemical perspective. This sort of writing is all too common on this blog, which I visit mostly for its occasionally stellar video content. I have found, however, that most of these videos can be found elsewhere and unless standards rise here I will not visit again.
Let's begin with syntax. The poster writes "So the general presiding over a horrendous civil war of our own making, responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and the displacement of thousands more, for the deaths of more than 3,800 American troops should be given the Peace Prize???" Who is responsible for the deaths and displacements? The sentence moves from causal claim about the Iraqi civil war being "our [American] own making" to an ascription of responsibility to Petreaus, which seems grossly unfair. Many of the deaths, both American and Iraqi, occurred before he had authority. He did not devise the initial policy, and whatever one thinks about the effectiveness of 'the surge,' vaguely placing blame of such a wide scope upon him is dubious from both factual and moral perspectives.
As for my complaint about the low quality of the polemic on this blog my example in this post is the either stupid or slanderous "I don’t think that even Orwell could have imagined FOX News." If it is the latter it can be easily falsified since Orwell's prescient insights on journalistic and state collusion are readily available to anyone with a library card or a western public education. If its the former then the punch is badly aimed. Sure there is no doubt something idiotic to the point of self-parody in saying that Petreaus should win the Peace Prize. But Orwell had the good sense to blast the woolyheaded and nominal left along with the authoritarian right. The overlooked irony can be put in the form of a question: what do we call it when a politician makes a movie?
I sometimes wonder how anyone can get up in the morning, brush their teeth, get dressed, eat a bowl of Wheaties, drive to work, and actually string togehter a series of words designed to create meanings that are at-the-core ridiculous.
I'm sorry, but no one's this inept. These Faux News guys aren't stupid, and they aren't paranoid against Bush defamation. They don't believe a word they're saying. It's a game . . . executed with a smug grin on your face and a BMW in the garage.
Stripmining is done for profit, at the expense of a particular strench of environment. Fox news is a stripping away of truth, also done for profit, at the expense of the ideological landscape of American politics.
My point: we need to stop believing that these guys BELIEVE what they're saying. It only leads to outrage and hair-pulling on our part, and that's not constructive. The baseline of our thinking must always be that they are deliberatly lying, and that they are doing it for profit.
That's a problem that we can try to find solutions for.
This is my first post *handwaves*. I also like parasailing, long walks on the beach, and excessive hyperbole.

These people truly have no shame. I used to wish there was a hell so they would go there when they finally die, now I think we're all already there. How do they sleep at night? How do they have children and raise them in the world they have created? How can they teach their children blindly believe the crap that spews from any conservative/repugs mouth. I'm serious HOW? Don't they feel bad when they look in the mirror, or read a bedtime story to their children about goodness and fairness?
What really kills me is that so many Amerikkkans get there news from FOX. Sterilization comes to mind, I know that's mean but damn. Ever tried agruing with a Bushie? You end up wanting to kill yourself. Jesus, I'm going mad.
Maybe hell is being strapped to a chair with your eyes taped open while Fox News plays 24/7 in front of your face, over and over, forever and ever, amen.

Yeah, elect another dummy.
The NOBEL PRIZES are awarded/administered by the Nobel Foundation which is private. They have been doing this for over 100 years ,and they go through a very rigorous process to decide who the winners will be. I really do not think the Nobel Foundation
considers the opinion of FOX News, The NY SUN or any other right wing basket case group in their decision making process.
CT voter @ 28:
Especially since Petraeus hasn't actually done anything. Just what has he accomplished? Bush sent Petraeus 30,000 additional troops. If any of Petraeus' predecessors had an additional 30,000 troops, couldn't they have done the same job or better?
If WE could select the Nobel Prize… But ya can't Blanche. Ya can't.
That's the problem with FOX: they think they should decide everything. But they can't. Tee hee hee, must burn their asses some, eh!!!
Why haven't we heard about a bust by the DEA at FOX news? They must be swimming in Hallucinogenic pills.
Does anyone need any more reason than this type of televison to understand why Americans are ugly, worldwide?? The arrogance of even having this discussion. The USA doesn't decide everything on the planet. No offense against the good people here, but to all Americans, in general, that might happen by-- get a grip.

Why doesn't FOX just come right out with it? They think BUSH should get it.
It's become so difficult to watch these Fox "News" clips without getting literally sick. Like those cute little captions they run underneath -- always in the form of a question, of course -- while some Bush shill blathers on. So while this NY Sun "expert" talks about how one of those who voted for Gore may be one of those European socialists, the loyal audience gets to read underneath: "Gore not so Nobel", "Should Al Gore have Won? One would think that these patriots would be proud to see an American, a former vice-president even, win such a prestigious prize. But instead, we are asked to question whether Gore really deserved that award. The validity of his Noble prize must be questioned, just as the faith of all Democratic candidates must be questioned - whether Hillary really believes in God or whether Nancy Pelosi actually prays for our side. Just as they questioned whether Michael J. Fox's illness and Cindy Sheehan's grief was real, or whether troops who criticize the war are authentic soldiers. And so much more. Utterly disgusting.
But as far as General Petraeus deserving the Nobel, I would be careful. Some years ago the same people might have rooted for General Ricardo Sanchez ...So you just never know with these generals.
They are moronic. Does anyone know of anyone winning a Noble Peace prize who was a general acting on the orders of a deranged president? Why they didn't just say Donald Rumsfield?

It ain't stupidity. It's corruption.
When George Bush sent David Petraeus to Iraq, he also sent along and 30,000 additional troops. If any of Petraeus' predecessors had an additional 30,000 troops, couldn't they have done the same job or better. If David Petraeus didn't have the additional 30,000 troops, would he have been any more successful than his predecessors?
Since General George Casey was in command when the Sheiks in Anbar Province decided to ask for help from Americans, he might well have been able to accomplish as much or more than Petraeus if he had been sent an additional 30,000 troops. Strange that no one wants to give Casey credit for Anbar since he had more to do with it than Petraeus.
Fox is the flame-bait of news media. They'll say anything. After all, they are the place to go for slutty female anchor masturbation.

"I don’t think that even Orwell could have imagined FOX News"
If only Hitler had FOX News. He still would have lost the war but he would have had FOX propagandizing and war cheerleading for him to the bitter end.
Wow ........ americans sooooo dumb ........
When are you guys ever going to sort your country out ?
"Strange that no one wants to give Casey credit for Anbar since he had more to do with it than Petraeus."
Give credit to an invader now or an invader then ? No thanks ........
A war fighter should get a peace prize? With Fox, up is down, right is wrong, wrong is right, good is bad, etc., etc.

Hey, Kissinger got the Peace Prize. So, if a war criminal can get it, I guess anyone can. This is not a putdown of Gore but of whomever the Fox News idiots would dream up.
Wow! according to Fox
War = Peace
George Orwell would be impressed.
I wonder how the average Iraqi would feel about his fruitcake comments. I'm sure he would never talk to any because they are too far below his station in life.

BINGO. The guy on the left of the screen was one creepy son of a gun.
The nutso, insanity of the right and Fox News is beyond belief. General Petraeus deserves the Noble Peace prize like David Duke deserves an award from the NAACP. Only in the deranged minds of the right.
I'm going to try once again the reasons why I will forever condemn this global warming concept. My objections lie in the totalitarianism of it all. We are just replacing the war on terra meme with a war on the enviornment meme. A war is still a war.
The same people who rally on about the neo-cons and their war on terra also tell me with the very same dedication of Faux News viewers that my conversion from $600 every ten days for oil to a pellet stove is just not good enough? WTF? I was told wood pellets rely on machinery?
For most this is the only green solution.

Big Al Gore with his massive compassion for humanity could have rallied himself with thousands of other completely worthwile causes. Depleted uranium is one of them. Perhaps a real investigation solving the questions more and more people have about 911. How about why media has supressed information about a simple drug that kills multiple versions of cancer.
Simply not, the establishment must remain the establishment and carbon trading as the new Wall Street will be justification for the massive repossetion of the western world's modern lifesyle.
Blow me Big Al!
Petraeus stands for PEACE? He's helping to preserve ORDER and create SAFETY for ordinary people? The military and the State Deptarrtments Blackwater mercenaries are killing ordinary Iraqis like flies. And this NY Sun putz dares to compare Petraues' efforts to the Marshall Plan? Oh yeah, sure, bombs, bullets, and missiles in Iraq are EXACTLY like food and medical relief, fuel and rebuilding in Europe. Gimme a fuckin' break!
It's like the Surge Field Marshall sounds like a character out of Boris and Natasha: "Ve vill have order, or you vil all be SHOT"

Hannity is such a handjob. Another neocon closet case who's all macho bluster but would actually shit his pants if someone challenged him to a real fight.
Everytime that I think that folks can get no dumber - so now the Nobel Peace Prize committee is anti-american because they do not support the Bush Crime family.
I think Orwell scripted Fux very well, especially the 15 minutes of hate part.
If FOx could decide who gets the Nobel, then it would have no value and no one would care.
If they had their hands on it, it would be come some sort of nasty sex toy for Bill Orlly.
I keep hearing that the Nobel Peace Prize was given to Le Duc Tho, like the idiot in this clip does, but nobody bothers to mention that the Peace Prize that year was awarded jointly to Tho and Henry Kissinger (for negotiating the Vietnam Peace Accord) or that Tho declined the award.
What hast the reichwing been right about in the past thirty years? They are against anything that is not killing people.
Someone needs to inform Fox News that acting like idiots is no way to impress intelligent people.
Pretty compelling proof that , if you've got enough money, you can always get somebody to go on camera and deliver a truly ludicrous proposition with a straight face.
There have to be hundreds of glue pots without their covers at the Fox studio. It's the only explanation, isn't it?

Is that it? I thought it was a prediction in the Dead Pool. Dead of a conniption.

I say don't bomb one without the other!

Right on If they don't like the Nobel committee's selection, why don't they award their own prize to whomever they choose? I would suggest that it be in the form of a huge pile of fresh steaming dog shit, to represent all that they stand for.
Apologies to the dog shit.
Where do they (Fox news) get this idiots that come up with such garbage.
Patraeus for Peace prize?!?!?!? Does that Bufoon know it's P-E-A-C-E Prize?
also,
a political anti Bush message?
At this point Europeans...cold care less about the U.S. not even the dollar can make the Euros interested in us.

Awesome post. Thanks!
If I was an over medicated developementally disabled or elderly shut in I might care what Faux News has to say. But I am not so fuck em.
This is so sad and the jealous Journalist are so mad. Petraeus lost/sold 190,000 weapons/vest/bullets what a great guy. He lied under oath by giving the speech the White House gave him to give. Now that's what Fox News calls Nobel Prize material what a bunch of idiots. I guess they have nothing to do but lie and attack 12 year old. None of these guys served in the Military or even won anything yet they feel they can speak on Al Gore's award.

I instantly thought of Orwell, as I see others did...
Does anyone at FOX want to consider if Sen. Larry Craig deserves to go into the Idaho H of fame?
Should Mark Foley be inducted to the Idaho Hall of Fame instead of Sen Larry Craig ?
WE ask, YOU DECIDE ........................
I just LOVE the way these CONservatives are ever so JEALOUS of Gore for winning the Nobel Peace Prize.
Their behavior is desperate and obviously showing how they are melting right in front of our eyes.
Living it and loving it!

General Betrayus? Wow, those are some serious comedy stylings.
Wow. Just fucking wow....
Don't know if anyone else besides me tuned in to Cyst Ass Limpballs the next morning after the Gore announcement.I want to say that I NEVER torture myself by exposing my ears to his radio show, but I knew it was gonna be good, and Limpballs would be FROTHING at the mouth.He didn't dissappoint.
He was outraged,OUTRAGED I tell you!!
Another example of his Dittoheads,and all others of that ilk getting their official
talking point, up to and icluding FAUX SPEWS.
His #1 nominee: you guessed it! THE CODPIECE!!
Followed by General Betrayus.

Peace = climate change? Not quite. But regardless of what you think of Gore as the right recipient, the Faux idiots went so far overboard I couldn't believe it. I mean it shouldn't surprise me, but it still does when you see idiocy on this scale on TV as serious "news". If a Hawk doesn't win a Peace Prize for conducting a war, then you might just as well discredit the entire prize for being false and anti-American. The self-centered crap and egoism of some people just blows you away. Not everyone in the world is a politically bipolar as the good ol' US of A (or at least as much as Faux would want you to believe). If they ask that do these people have a liberal leaning, then the answer is yes, but then again a good majority of Europeans is more leftist/liberal than anything Faux has to offer.
Headline: Jesus comes back to earth; praises Gore for efforts
Fox News:
Is Jesus anti American?
Does Jesus hate Bush?
Do we need to re examine Jesus?
Did Jesus get a free ride under his father?
Jesus: savior or socialist?

If Fox could give a Peace Nobel Prize, they would give it to Bush and Cheney. Because in their eyes, there's nothing as peaceful as starting one of the dumbest and most unnecessary wars in history, and causing the death of hundreds of thousands innocent people. Such is the Republican logic.
This guy is a POS.
I think it's time for FOX News to go.
Wear Platitudes @ 76:
Great analysis of the situation. Your points also play well when one considers people such as ari fleischer, scotty mcclellan, tony snow, dana perino, et al who have to face the press daily and basically lie their asses off re. bush and the entire repuke machine. These are not stupid people, they must know the truth. But as bush would say (paraphrased) 'they have to put food on their people', and therefore will say anything for a paycheck.
If you can say Brownie did a heckuva job, if u can say the American economy is strong, if u can say you're against immigration while being an effin immigrant or a descendant of one (talking to you, right-wingnuts), I guess you can give Betrayus a Nobel peace prize. You can also call Bush a godly man, you can call the war winnable, you can say global warming is a hoax and you can say Fox is balanced. You could also say some might say anything in order to keep the money flowing their way.
I don’t think that even Orwell could have imagined FOX News.
The Ministry of Truth? I wonder if you have actually read 1984.
Probably already noted but:
Everyone seems to say that they don't care what Faux News has to say...but everyone sure does have alot to say about them.

Whoa, whoa, let's not drink the koolaide here. First of all, 20 times the national average? I'm assuming this is for his house? I believe he explained that. You see, he also uses it for office spaces for his campaigns and such, and does pay for green power. And, if I remember correctly, he's said he's responsible for legislating the internet, not the technological creation thereof. Misquoted perhaps, unless you can give me another example. He may have helped create the internet we have today, but in a different way than his attackers claim.
You've stated a lot of stuff about this whole ordeal that makes me think you're trolling or something. CO2 doesn't cause warming? Nobel prizes are irrelevant? Could you cite some examples beyond Arafat or evil non-named gov't scientists? If you're going to come out swinging, bring some proof with you. Perhaps a little research would do you some good.
And I'm not saying Gore is a great guy either. I'd just like to hear proof before you start slandering someone.
hahahahahahaha! Oh my god! The fox spinsters are at it again :) Where DO they pick their opinion people from. 80% of the people outside of the US was against the war in Iraq before it even started. Yay for the norwegian Nobel comity!! seems they are a bunch of lefty bolsheviks! *wink, wink* *nudge, nudge*
This really made my day! Really impressive...
I should watch Fox news more.
you do NOT give a police officer a prize for doing his job.. so why the HELL should mister Betray-us get something he was ordered to do.........oh god..
i thought fox took the "half-hour comedy hour" off of the air?!
As no surprise, the statements about the Socialist Left Party of Norway are false. They did oppose the invasion of Afghanistan, but did NOT oppose going after Taliban. How odd that the FoxNews people would get that wrong – for EVERYONE who opposed the invasion of Afghanistan. As it turns out, they were very right about this, as most of the casualties of that invasion were Afghan civilians while most of Taliban got away. This operation was also highly inefficient at knocking out Taliban who now are for a large part back in control.
