Rush Limbaugh was most critical of the Nobel Prize. AP Photo Ron Edmonds
Following the award of the Nobel Peace Prize to President Obama conservative reaction has not been kind. Fox News hosts and Glenn Beck have all chimed into to criticize the award as meaningless since President Obama has allegedly done "nothing" in their words to deserve the award. Not to be outdone Rush Limbaugh added his own opinion to the mix today and perhaps had the harshest criticism of the President.
Below is a sampling of the attacks from Rush Limbaugh against President Obama after he was awarded the Nobel. Themes of the Limbaugh criticism included claims that Obama only got the award for apologizing and essentially neutering American power. Essentially Limbaugh argues that Nobel committee only awarded the Peace Prize to President Obama because the President apologized and weakened American on the world stage. In the end Limbaugh sides with the Taliban and Iran in saying President Obama did not deserve the award.

President Obama himself has said he doesn't deserve the award. However, Rush is going beyond the pale in his attacks. He’s making himself look even more foolish - if that's possible. (Obama is donating the winnings to charity. Hopefully that'll be okay with Rush)
Ryan,
You've made a nice career of listening to Glenn Beck and then regurgitating it back in a way that makes him appear to be a fool or a liar. You surely know that what he says is factual. He uses facts that any idiot can check. You must beleive that discrediting him and smearing him will make people less likely to listen to him themselves. As a mother and a grandmother, I want to know the truth and will listen to all sides and use common sense to decide for myself. Americans are awake now and wising up to this tactive of the left. It isn't going to work any more...
The only charity Obama should give it to is SaveTheConstitution.com. Since he is currently only using it for toilet paper.
Who cares what an OxyContin-gobbling, serial-divorcing, ratings-driven, so-called "entertainer" like Limbaugh thinks anyway? (Other than the pre-biased, fear-stoked, mega-dodo lemmings who jones on his drivel like he hoovers hillbilly heroin...)
You can tell a lot about a person when you look in their eyes. Take a look at Rush's eyes in the picture above.
Is fine for him to question Obama's noble prize award, but the anger he displays is a bit puzzling.
Change...Hope...Change...Hope...You mean all one has to do to earn a Nobel Prize is to speak well and spout socialism? Why didn't Hitler earn one of those bad boys?
Rush is God!
Russ Limbaugh is a drug addicted rascist moron
Rush has proven to me that he has lost his mind. He is siding with the teliban? Rush, I think it is time for you to move to Iran or maybe Pakistan. We don't want your kind here!!!!
go jaime! at lease a couple of people who comment here have their heads on straight
Obama did not do anything to deserve that award and even he realizes it.
If the only requirement for this award is to talk about "change" and wish for peace then I say Rush should win!
Amy, why do you believe in a drug addicted, serial divorcer, college drop out, former deejay? He just lucked into a niche audience of willfully ignorant reactionaries, and milked their fear for millions. Are you one of them?

it's very sad Rush doesn't have much kind things to say about people who think and are different than him. what a tragic way to go through life. if he is indeed the voice of the republican party, man have they fallen.
Pete, why do you care if I or anyone else listens to Rush?
I have no problem with what you listen to or watch.
BTW, Rush did not just "luck" into his successful career. He made some very shrewd business moves to make his EIB network a success.
Well, its official, the nobel peace prize is a joke and worthless. It was given to a man who has done virtually nothing, except bow down, submit, cater etc. to those who would just love to blow us off the map.
Pete,
Your emotional investment in your presidents success has made you blind to the fact that Obama is the most destructive leader the US has ever seen. Frankly, your base insults represent everything that is wrong with this country.
Paso, Obama is actively and enthusiastically destroying the Country. Rush is responding to that. What is puzzling is your worship of a destructive President.
Thanks mOrOe.
Monroe, The Republican party hasn't fallen. It has been kicked in the head by a Socialist Boot and betrayed from within by people like McCain, Olympia Snowe and Michael Steele. Who are actually YOUR republicans not ours.
High 5; Amy, Ditto and Gigi.
Jaime, are you and attention wh-re? I've read through a few of these postings, and it's starting to look that way.
You Obama haters really need to make up your minds: has he really done nothing so far? Or is he the most destructive leader the US has ever seen?
Those are sort of mutually exclusive positions.
RL, everyone is to a certain extent, Are you??
Obama is being fought in his legislation. His attempts at reforming America into a Socialist/Totalitarian state is destructive. But he has achieved his goal of belitteling the US in international meetings and in the press.
"His attempts at reforming America into a Socialist/Totalitarian state is destructive."
Incredibly strong accusation - apparently based on only a limited understanding of the terms "socialist" and "totalitarian."
RL's lack of response may be your answer.
It was a rhetorical question johnny b. goode. Perhaps RL is contemplating the same question To Walrus and gang. Perhaps he's not as clever as he imagined.
LOL Jake. So You admit (or Imply) you ARE well versed in Socialism and Totalitarian tactics....do tell. I'll give you a hint start with Corporatism and go maybe...two steps ahead.
Well, jaime, I have spent some time studying history - beyond that rewritten by LaRouche and his ilk.
No matter how people try to spin it, nothing the Obama administration has done or proposed to date comes anywhere near the level of either "socialism" or "totalitarianism."
Perhaps you should try other sources and leave wikipedia behind.
Those of us who are not asleep know the warning signs, and are not content to wait for the boot on our throat before sounding the alarm.
"Spreading the Wealth around" First by slogan, then by legislation is socialist. Taking someones business without compensation in an arbitrary manor, and rewarding competitors with the prior businesse assets is socialist.
Trying to enact a "Fairness Doctine" in media outlets is socialism.
Taking over or trying to take over an industry or group of industries and then having a Governmental agency (IRS) be the enforcer of complience for a governmemtal mandate of rules for participation in that industry is socialist.
Then forcing people to participate in that new governmental contolled industry under threat of financial and/or legal sanctions if they don't is socialism.
If you were as expert as you say in socialism...you would know it's inception starts slowly. Read Arendt.
Aw jaime, I had those history degrees before Wikis ever existed. And nothing you are alleging is new - in fact, Obama so far hasn't even come close to Nixon's wage and price controls.
By screaming 'socialism' and 'totalitarianism,' you simply marginalize yourself and lose credibility of the legitimate complaints about Obama.
And what would those "legitimite complaints" be Jake...
Jake...???
Oh, you know, little things - like getting conned into bailout stimulus that was too expensive for the country while at the same time far too little to have the effect he wanted.
Or failing to rein in his fellow Democrats early on, losing any chance he might have had at the bipartisanship he said he wanted. (That's not to say the Republican Wing of the Incumbency Party was willing to anything but say 'No' anyway - but the Democrats made it easy for them.)
There also is his vacillation on policies, period: What, EXACTLY, is he willing to sign in a health care bill? We can't have a rational debate until we actually know what he wants.
What does he propose to do about Iran? (I'll accept some public uncertainty is a good thing - keep the mullahs guessing - but I don't think Obama or his national security staff even have a good idea what to try.)
I didn't vote for him, and I'd never vote for Traitor McCain - but he's president now and I'm willing to give him a chance.
Just wa
I'm very glad you said Health Care Bill and not Health Care Reform. It is this kind of sloganing that leads us all into rhetoric and away from substantive issues. There ARE huge gaps and inefficiencies that should be addressed and then fixed. But they do not have to be part of a Systemic overhaul. Reform thus becomes a socialistic metaphor for a range of percieved social injustices that inflames and thus deflects real issues.
I would claim this is by design. And that design is Marxist ala the American version. Ayers, Alinsky, Rev. Wright, Emmanuel; their collective ideology is nothing but Socialist if you will. Ayers is a kind of 20th Century Bahkunin. He embodies the 19Cen Anarchists. And S Alinky's book is a road map to Socialism. As is Soros who embodies the Globalist/Socialist agenda put in motion by Obama's recent International tours and the agreements he recently signed at the G20 meeting in Pittsburgh. Cont.. next post
For instance: How many are aware that Obama is urging the US Senate to ratify CIFTA (Inter-American Firearms Convention)Treaty?? It is Treaty No: 105-49. Among other nefariuos features, it would give other nations access to US gun registry database & a right to extradite US citizens they designate as violent. At the VERY LEAST this violates 2nd Amendment rights.
Now this is a Globalist/Socialist agenda. The example you give about what EXACTLY he will sign in a health care bill is an excellent one. As is the whole stealth way the Congress is working. However I don't think Obama was conned into anything. Which is why I like the term Obushma better. To me Barry is doing nothing more than continuing a socialist/fascist agenda set in years prior. The Patriot Act as one of the crowning achievements of this agenda.
I agree with you about McCain. But I an NOT willing to give Facsism/Socialism a chance. I DO NOT believe in the redistribution of Private Property.
jaime, you ARE aware that Senate consent (they don't actually ratify, but consent to ratification of a treaty) requires a two-thirds vote of the Senate, right?
CIFTA was dead on arrival when Clinton signed it and remains so today - no matter how much Obama tries to make nice with the Mexican president.
Jake,
You haven't proven anything. The point was Obama's SOCIALIST/MARXIST tendencies. Obama was looking for the Senate to give him the go-ahead so that the US(Obama) could ratify the treaty.
You deflect and obfuscate with word games and trivia...and trying to make mockery of posters by beliitling their grammer ect.. it's all over many posts.
The POINT of CIFTA is to show Obama's Socialist INTENT. It also points out my claim of his working an agenda that preceeds him....as when you mention Clinton's involement with CIFTA prior.
Really one must wonder just whose side you are really on???
Get freakin' REAL, jaime! CIFTA was speaking nice to the Mexican president. Period.
Obama was a Senator and is a very canny politician. He KNOWS that CIFTA has ZERO chance of getting a two-thirds vote in the Senate - and for all the alarmist squacking, can you or anyone cite where Obama has even asked the Senate to consider CIFTA? Here's a head start: HE HASN'T!!!!
I prefer to address real issues, not fantasies.
Your approach doesn't fly Jake. Constant shoot the messanger and or poster.
CIFTA is a REAL treaty it IS NOT a Fantasy
Copenhagen Agreement is REAL, it IS NOT a Fantasy
The takeover of a bulk of the Automotive industry by the Gov't is REAL it IS NOT a Fantasy.
The Theft of Car Dealerships without conpensation is Real it IS NOT a Fantasy.
The use of union thugs like Acorn and the SEIU is REAL, it IS NOT a Fantasy
The Candidate Obama saying his wanted to "Spread the Wealth Around" is REAL, it IS NOT a Fantasy.
President Obama using his power as President to "Pay-off his union backers" by taking over GM etc..and arbitrarily Giving stolen dealerships to others are examples of his Spread the Wealth around put into action. They are REAL thay ARE NOT Fantasy.
The Presidents'international trips ripping America in his speeches are REAL, and ARE NOT Fantasy.
The Nobel "Peace Prize" for furthering Global Socialism is REAL, & IS NOT Fantasy.
Neither is Obama's attempt to kill FOX.
RATIFICATION of CIFTA is a fantasy - it ain't gonna happen.
As I've explained elsewhere, GM and Chrysler were already trying to find ways to get rid of many dealers before they ever came looking for a handout. bankruptcy made it easier and the only government involvement was the bankruptcy court.
If you ever thought corporations gave a damn about you, maybe at least you've learned something.
You take partial facts, ignore others and decide there's some 'secret agenda' simply because you refuse to comprehend reality.
You are a perfect example of "The Very Separate World of Conservative Republicans" - and why the GOP is likely to implode in 2010, despite the normal odds of gaining back some congressional seats.
The silver lining, I guess, is that maybe the rest of us can build a new political movement focused on realistic solutions that emphasize positive approaches to liberty instead of rhetorical bomb throwing.
And who exactly are "The Rest of us" Jake???
Your explanation of the recent auto-industry happenings is certainly "partial facts". To hear you spin it they're still owned by the bond holders and stockholders...Gov't only got involved thru Bankruptcy court.
You paint this picture of yourself and this crowd of truely rational and feeling folk who are going to offer " positive approaches to liberty instead of rhetorical bomb throwing".
"Positive approaches to Liberty" is well within the low-art of rhetorical bombs Jake. It is also political double speak.
Liberty is liberty Jake. We don't need your "Group", your statist superior attitude that YOU have the solution, just as soon as y'all get rid of those folks screaming about their Nasty Contitutional rights. When you get rid of them...well then you can bring in a whole new "solution to liberty".
To you America isn't about dialogue, it's you and your"group" pushing your agenda on everyone else. It's called FACSISM.
Stuff your "statism" and "fascism" where the sun don't shine, jaime.
Read that report and you should easily recognize yourself and your fellow travelers who are working so hard to ensure the lunatic fringe of the Left rises to power.
"The rest of us" are the independent conservatives and liberatarians who genuinely want this country to succeed - not descend into the morass you and your ilk would rather see than admit that you have be complete and total failures at putting forth ANY policies that the American public will support.
As for the auto industry, I stand by my statement: Dealerships were going to be slashed one way or another long before any government bailout came along. Ask all those Oldsmobile dealers.
It sucks for the dealers - and I have some little knowledge on the subject, since my father spent almost his entire working career in dealership management - but unless GM or Chrysler violated some term of the franchise contract, ain't nothing a dealer can do.
LOL...OK Group member. You and your gang are gonna set this country right again. By disregarding it's laws in the interest of "Positive approaches to Liberty".
That my friend is double speak itself for a Leftist/Statist agenda. Obama and his Marxist/ NeoCon handlers are the "Fellow Travelers" you hint at. Either you are truely ignorant of the political agendas at play in America (and the World) today, or you yourself are part of this scheme if even in a small way.
I am respectful of the Truth however. Any casual reading of these posts would locate my alligiences with a Conservative reading of our Contitutional Republic. Unlike you I do not believe in NOR rationalize:
The theft of Private Property.
The ignoring of our national borders and Immigration Laws.
The right of people to voice opinion, EVEN to the point of strong belief that The Executive is working to the Detriment of the Country.
The Compromise of the Constitution in the interest of "Practical" solutions.
Nice slander behind an anonymous keyboard, jamie.
Where have I advocated or defended the theft of private property? (If you are still woofing about the auto dealers, that's a CIVIL CONTRACT dispute.)
Where have I, unlike your Gigi alter ego, told someone to shut up and go away - or in any other way deny them the right to their opinion? Telling someone he or she is wrong to believe X is not stiffling free speech.
And where have I compromised on the Constitution? I've advocated finding practical solutions to problems within the framework - and pointed out that your paranoia about things like CIFTA is unfounded because of the need to get a two-thirds vote of the Senate in a perpetually divided Congress.
Immigration? I've made my case, repeatedly, that the current system is not working - and that we need to change the law to come up with a system that works. That's not ignoring the existing laws - that's taking a hard look at WHY they don't work and offering a solution.
Well I tried to give a reasoned rational response, but as before the Censor machine was in full force. (yes it was < 1000 characters).
So bet it. It is just more of what is happening in this country.
GiGi, I am proud to be in your league.
