Oct. 12, 2007, 5:18 a.m.Congratulations, Mr. Gore!
Helping bring awareness about global climate change, and a call to action on dealing with it, is noble work.
Now we are going to have to contend with increased carbon emissions from the screams of blind, inchoate hatred of the "Right" in this country, who would rather see Rush Limbaugh get the Nobel Peace Prize for no good reason.
Watch it happen, right here...

Oct. 12, 2007, 7:20 a.m.Good choice. Al Gore's global warming awareness-raising activities constitute a noble pursuit, quite logical he should be awarded a share in the Nobel Peace prize. Again, good choice, I say.
(This is not to overlook the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which also shared the award).

Oct. 12, 2007, 7:38 a.m.I am 100% in favor of Mr. Gore being awarded the Nobel Prize, and I can only hope that his efforts will forever shed light on the climate change that man is causing.
I can only imagine how mad the Talk show hosts will be for the next few months.

Oct. 12, 2007, 7:53 a.m.a well earned nobel, I hope that he continues his work educating the world about global warming. The science is so overwhelming that only fools dispute the evidence of man made warming.

Oct. 12, 2007, 8:55 a.m.What a pathetic rave, DARTH.
I think I'd value the judgement of the panellists of the Nobel Peace Prize selection committee rather more than your hysterical viewpoints any day.

Yes it does. Tell us how it feels.
As we can see Bushbots hate Jimmy Carter too. But he fired the Cowboy and his followers at the CIA. The entire crisis in Iran was formented as revenge for the 600 or was it 800 that were fired along cowboy George in the real October suprise.

Oct. 12, 2007, 9:09 a.m.>>17 million freed from tyranny and oppression in Iraq95% want them out SOON.
Six Iraqi groups team up to drive Americans out
Six Iraqi insurgent groups have joined forces to form a "political council" and "liberate" Iraq from US occupation, Al-Jazeera television said on Thursday...

It seems that as the utter stupidity and lies of the zioncon war in Iraq become ever more clear, your foaming at the mouth gets ever more desperate.

Oct. 12, 2007, 9:40 a.m."17 million freed from tyranny and oppression in Iraq, nope not good enough!"
And they have thanked us to the tune of tens of thousands of causulties.
What evidence can you provide that all 17,000,000 wanted to be freed?
Would you find it acceptable for another country to attack us because of the way we treat native-americans, hispanics, homosexuals, etc.....?
It will be interesting to see what the current president does in his post political life.

LOL...You can't possibly be serious. Chimpstock has created a humanitarian crisis of epic proportion and brought untold misery to both the people of Iraq and those in surrounding countries. How many Iraqis have we "freed" of their lives? Neoclowns aren't monitoring THAT body count, are they? How many babies has your "pro-life" chimperor Bush SLAUGHTERED there? Any idea? How many millions of Iraqis have we turned into refugees? And why aren't the same neoclowns who know that the pro-business lobby-beholden GOP wants to give "amnesty" to migrant workers equally curious when it comes to the GOP's motives vis a vis global warming?

Oct. 12, 2007, 10:45 a.m.'' 17 million freed from tyranny and oppression in Iraq, nope not good enough!''
Its more like 22 million if I remember correctly, and was closer to 23 million pre-invasion.
It kinda cracks me up if you are obliquely suggesting a Nobel Peace Prize in association with the death or displacement of hundreds of thousands of people.
But then I've always had a slightly sick sense of humor

Oct. 13, 2007, 8:31 a.m."Renaldus Magnus freed the 20 million people F.D.R. allowed to be enslaved by the Stallinists yet he was'nt even considered for the 'piece' prize. 20 million freed is apparently not compatible with the liberal ideal of peace."
How do you know that he wasn't even considered for the prize? Have you been present during the Nobel Peace Prize Committee's discussions?
"17 million freed from tyranny and oppression in Iraq, nope not good enough!"
When? I still see plenty of tyranny and oppression committed on the Iraqi people still today. They've just replaced dictatorship and torture with terrorism and torture.
"in fact the nobel committe thought sadam was better left in power."
Where do you get this assumption from? Can you provide a source to it? An official statement of the Nobel Peace Prize Committee?

Nobel Peace Prize Winners:
Yassar Arafat = murdering terrorist
Al Gore = environmental terrorist
Jimmy Carter = idiot terrorist

Oct. 12, 2007, 10:54 a.m.Wow. The thread is about a man winning the Nobel Peace Prize for promoting the study of global warming's impact on our planet and we've got right wing pinheads like sniper91 sitting around in their parents' basements getting moist because some black kid in a backwards Red State hole is going to jail. Feel better now, sniper91?

Oct. 12, 2007, 9:31 a.m.Well the Global Warming train is pulling out of the station now , picking up steam , just as I predicted a couple of days ago .
Tell me when this so called theroy is found to be a load of crap , do they take back the award ?
Don't rub your hands together , might add to the Global Warming condition !
Wonder if Al raised his price on Carbon Credits now he has the Peace Prize award ?
Waste fuel , own a big house , no worry , just buy Gore Carbon Credits and you have saved the Earth .
Gore Carbon Credits the way to save the world and still keep doing as you were with no regrets , see your local Al Gore Carbon Credit Agent/Dealer for purchase .
