Did you hear me complain about Nelson Mandela (jointly) receiving the Prize?
Did you hear me complain about Desmond Tutu receiving the Prize?
Or Martin Luther King Jr.?
As a conservative I believe in earning your accolades on merit. The ones I quoted more than deserved theirs.
Obama achieved absolutely NOTHING to steal his. Affirmative action, pure and simple.
Maybe you didn’t, but conservatives did complain when MLK got the Noble Prize, I have posted a passage here from National Review (you will find it if you go back and read the thread from the beginning) from 1965 where a conservative trashed MLK for winning the Nobel Prize.
As to Desmond Tutu, it wouldn’t surprise me if conservatives did criticize the Committee for giving him the Nobel Prize. Jerry Falwell did call Bishop Tutu a phony, so I assume he at any rate did not think that the bishop deserved the Nobel Prize.
As to Mandela, seeing that conservatives have criticized anybody they disagree with as not deserving of Noble Prize, it wouldn’t surprise me if they criticized that decision as well. I will see if I can find something on the internet.
Obama achieved absolutely NOTHING to steal his. Affirmative action, pure and simple.
That is your opinion, unfortunately for you; the Nobel Committee disagrees with you. And again unfortunately for you, they are the ones who award the Nobel Prize, not you (thank God!).
