Conservative Think Tank Nominates Rush Limbaugh for Nobel Peace Prize...hahahaha

[one...two...tree 2,762]

Landmark Legal Foundation today nominated nationally syndicated radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh for the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize.

Limbaugh, whose daily radio show is heard by more than 20 million people on more than 600 radio stations in the United States and around the world, was nominated for the prestigious award for his "nearly two decades of tireless efforts to promote liberty, equality and opportunity for all humankind, regardless of race, creed, economic stratum or national origin. These are the only real cornerstones of just and lasting peace throughout the world," said Landmark President Mark R. Levin.

"Rush Limbaugh is the foremost advocate for freedom and democracy in the world today," explained Levin. "Everyday he gives voice to the values of democratic governance, individual opportunity and the just, equal application of the rule of law -- and it is fitting that the Nobel Committee recognize the power of these ideals to build a truly peaceful world for future generations."

The Nobel Peace Prize, which is given by a committee of the Norwegian Storting (the Norwegian Parliament), was created by inventor Alfred Nobel in his will in 1896 to be given to the individual or organization who "shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding of peace congresses." The first Nobel Peace Prize was awarded in 1901 to Henry Dunant and Frederic Passy.

Should Limbaugh become the 2007 Nobel Laureate for Peace, he will receive the Nobel Peace Prize medal and a cash award of $10 million Norwegian Kroner (approximately $1.6 million). The prize would be presented at a ceremony in the Oslo City Hall presided over by King Harald V and Queen Sonja of Norway on December 10, 2007, the anniversary of Alfred Nobel's death. As the 2007 Nobel Laureate for Peace, Limbaugh would deliver the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize Lecture at that ceremony.

Founded in 1976, Landmark Legal Foundation is the leading conservative public interest law firm in the United States. Rush Limbaugh serves as an unpaid member of Landmark's Board of Advisors.

The Nobel Peace Prize is a joke anyway. After all, Yassir Arafat won it, and if he can, then I suppose anyone can as well...

And I thought it was crazy when The Kathmandu Post suggested that Prachanda(Nepal Maoist party leader) be nominated for the NPP back in November! I honestly don't know which one is worse...

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

And this from a think tank? What the ** are they thinking? I'd say it's time for them to call themselves what they are: A smoke tank seeing that these guys must be on crack or something. Rush for the Nobel Peace Price. I'm cracking up laughing just typing the idea...

Considering past winners (such as Yasir Arafat) and nominees (Pervez Musharraf), why would Rush be unworthy of such a nomination?

I certainly don't see how Rush is any more unworthy than those two (I even posted a comment about Arafat earlier in this thread), but I suppose some here do think so. That's rather sad...

I think it's hysterical. It would certainly seal the fate of the NPP forever.

When you think of who has got it, you would not expect that many people to want to be nominated for it. I believe Rush was quite chuffed with the news.

I would nominate Stephen Colbert, how do you nominate anyway?

I'm not defending those two nominations, but one could argue that both Arafat and Musharraf contributed to bringing about peace, while it would be impossible to make that argument for Limbaugh who is a paid radio personality.

I can just see H.H. Dalai Lama rolling his eyes and sighing...

Okay, I don't know enough about Musharraf to make educated statements; however, I do knot a lot about Arafat, and he did nothing to further peace. If anything, he promoted constant conflict between the Israelis and Palestinians. The man was a complete monster, and yet...the international community gave him the NPP. Mind boggling...

Took the words right out of my mouth, Hague would have been a better venue than Oslo.

You know, I thought that there wasn't an open nomination process for any of the Nobel prizes; it's not like you apply or get nominated like an Oscar... so I'm thinking this is about as meaningful as me nominating my cat for a Nobel, except my cat didn't "carry water" for the Republicans in 2006.
