The Bolivian President and a Russian political leader have launched a campaign to revoke Obama's honour after the US attacked Libya.
Liberal Democratic Party of Russia leader and Vice-Chairman of the State Duma Vladimir Zhirinovsky released a statement today calling for the Nobel Prize Committee to take back the honour bestowed on US President Barack Obama in 2009.
Zhirinovsky said the attacks were "another outrageous act of aggression by NATO forces and, in particular, the United States," and that the attacks demonstrated a "colonial policy" with "one goal: to establish control over Libyan oil and the Libyan regime." He said the prize was now hypocritical as a result.
Bolivian President Evo Morales echoed the call: "How is it possible that a Nobel Peace Prize winner leads a gang to attack and invade? This is not a defence of human rights or self-determination."
Morales won the Gaddafi International Prize for Human Rights in 2006.
He is amongst a number of left-leaning Latin American leaders who have denounced the attacks against Libya. Hugo Chavez of Venezuela, Rafael Correa of Ecuador, Daniel Ortega of Nicaragua and Cristina Ferdinez of Argentina have all criticised western media coverage of the Libyan crisis.
Morales and Chavez repeated calls for peace talks with Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi.
Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009 for "his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and co-operation between peoples." The Committee praised the "change in the international climate" affected by Obama's presidency.
In his Nobel Lecture, he discussed the "hard truth" of the inevitability of war, saying: "There will be times when nations — acting individually or in concert — will find the use of force not only necessary but morally justified."
A message has been widely retweeted on Twitter today: "Obama has now fired more cruise missiles than all other Nobel Peace prize winners combined."
Oh, how I wish that it would come to pass.
They're going to strip him? That's racist!!
I used to say that life is like a B-movie. But it's really cheesier.
Brilliant line... well played sir.

While we are at it, the Nobel Prize should be revoked for the frauds Henry Kissinger (he betrayed us in Vietnam); Le Duan, the No. Vietnamese dictator who broke the peace treaty of 1973 and invaded So. Vietnam; Al Gore - he of global warming/greenhouse gases fraud/hoax; Yassir Araft - the murderer of U.S. diplomats in Sudan, American citizens, and hundreds of other innocents around the world, and of promoting genocide against Jews. Etc.
Feel free to add on other frauds - don’t know whether Chilean communist Pablo Neruda got one or not - a hack ideological poet
Linus Pauling got one for a legitimate invention - the transitor, but he was a Communist Party member and Soviet agitprop agent of influence.
>>Morales won the Gaddafi International Prize for Human Rights in 2006.<
The irony of it all. A Marxist Gaddafi-recipient throwing a hissy fit against a Kenyan Marxist. Damn priceless!
Can they take back Gore’s as well?
bookmark for morning...
I wish someone in the Major Media had the balls to ask Obama how many dead Libyans he has saved or created in the last 3 days....
Globalist Committee “entitlement” award?
Kofi Annan, of oil-for-food fame, was also a recipient.
Give it to Rush.
Updating and correcting my earlier post:
Nobel Peace Prize - should be withdrawn from
*Barack H. Obama - for showing up, being black, being a marxist, being a coward - pick one
*Mohamed El Baradei and the IAEA - both frauds and bought off by Saddam and Iran
*Jimmy Carter - once worthy of it for his Middle East peace efforts in 1976/77. Now a doting idiot and betrayer of those efforts
*Kofi Annan - crook, fraud, coward, bought off and the United Nations - bought off, cowardly, corrupt, incapable
*Yasser Arafat (1994) - killer
*Rigoberta Menchu Tum - possibly leftist fraud re “peace” in Guatemala - her real resume’ doesn’t correspond to her promotional propaganda. her associations in the US were with the communists
*Gorbachev - questionable
*Oscar Arias Sanchez (1987) a coward, afraid of the communists; appeaser
*International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War - IPPNW - a communist dominated organization with the complicity of some American leftist scientists (who keep showing up at Soviet peace front meetings)
*Desmond Mpilo Tutu - once an honorable man, turned anti-semite and pro-communist. one of his daughters is an avowed marxist - went to Howard Un.
*Alva Myrdal - peace fraud
*1974 Sean MacBridge - Irish marxist, very anti-American
*1973 - Henry Kissinger - betrayer of Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos, and LE DUC THO - North Vietnamese leader and mass murderer, international aggressor in Southeast Asia
*1971 - Willy Brandt - once a brave opponent of Communism; became a Soviet dupe with his personal secretary being a KGB agent
*1962 - for “peace” - A lifelong member of the Communist Party USA and Soviet agent of influence in the anti-defense lobbby (Along with his wife)
When will bumper stickers become available?
