Nobel Peace Prize chairman who honored Obama demoted six years later

By Richard Johnson

It took nearly six years, but the man responsible for President Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize has finally been demoted. Thorbjoern Jagland was harshly criticized in 2009, when, shortly after he became chairman of the prize committee, the prestigious award was given to Obama before the new president had a chance to accomplish anything.

OTOH, the First Moslem pRes_ _ent by FRAUD,
has used a lot of explosives, and plans to use
more to murder innocents, which is a lot of
money for the Nobel Committee.

Sure; he had no drug habit or children out of wedlock. By today’s low bar of lowered expectations for blacks, he is The Most Exceptional Person Ever Born.

I learned everything I need to know about the prize committee when they picked Al Gore over Elie Wiesel.

The thing about this...it took six years for them to admit this guy lead the committee around to some bogus selection. Six lousy years.

As for the guy? He now has the reputation of being the only guy who ever served as a chairman who was stepped down by the selection folks. He didn’t volunteer to step down or resign or retire. It’ll be hard for him to walk around and explain this to the rest of his crowd.

Sounds like his term of office ran out. He’s still on the panel. And Bammy is still spouting nonsense about muzzies being peaceful in their proselytizing.

Yeah that was another one, Al Gore the guy who took political “donations” from airlines rather than beef up airlines security like he was suppose to which made hijacking the planes on Sept. 11th 2001 as easy as a hot knife through butter. Gee Al, just how did all those hijackers enter the cockpit so easily? Money over 3000 dead people, naturally all in the name of peace so give this man an award.

It’s even worse:

It turned out the Nobel Committee made their internal decision to award him the Nobel Prize after he’d been in office for just TWELVE DAYS....!!!

It’s like finding an N.P. in a CEREAL BOX...!!

RIDICULOUS.

A lot of these awards are hijacked by the left and abused to further their sick agendas. Even the less prestigious ones like the Rock and Roll hall of fame and the Mark Twain prize for humor, all of that is controlled by the left which is why a disco lipsyncer like Madonna is in the Rock and Roll hall of fame and a real musician like Stevie Ray Vaughn is not. Vaughn didn’t promote homosexuality like she did so he is out and she is in even though she’s never recorded a rock and roll record in her life. Remember when Tina Fey impersonated Sarah Palin? Immediately after she was awarded the Mark Twain prize for humor which is an award normally awarded to comedy legends like Richard Pryor, George Carlin, Steve Martin, Bill Cosby. And she was awarded it BEFORE Carol Burnett which I heard didn’t please Burnett too much. In other words, the only reason Fey won it was give legitimacy to her pathetic Sarah Palin act as if to say “Oh everybody, look at this! Sarah Palin is such a joke it is legendary!”

What are you talking about? Elie Wiesel won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1986 when Al Gore was just a freshman senator from Tennessee.

I think your comment should be deleted, because it is factually false.

My mistake. It was Irena Sendler.
