Obama Wins Nobel Peace Prize?

[Warrior_of_Freedom]

Is this a late night joke?

[awake]

Is this a late night joke?


This is proof that Nobels are not Nobels any more; they are political tokens.... A peace prize for the man who continues and builds on the worst warmongering foreign policy known in recent history. ... sad, very sad, but not surprising.

US President Barack Obama has won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize.

The Nobel Committee said he was awarded it for "his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and co-operation between peoples".

The committee highlighted Mr Obama's efforts to strengthen international bodies and promote nuclear disarmament.

There were a record 205 nominations for this year's prize. Zimbabwe's prime minister and a Chinese dissident had been among the favourites.

The laureate - chosen by a five-member committee - wins a gold medal, a diploma and 10m Swedish kronor ($1.4m).

The award is certainly unexpected and might be regarded as more of an encouragement for intentions than a reward for achievements.

After all, the president has been in office for a little over eight months and he might hope to serve eight years. His ambition for a world free of nuclear weapons is one that is easier to declare than to achieve and a climate control agreement has yet to be reached.

Indeed, the citation indicates that it is President Obama's world view that attracted the Nobel committee - that diplomacy should be founded "on the basis of values and attitudes that are shared by the majority of the world's population".

"Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world's attention and given its people hope for a better future," the Norwegian committee said in a statement.

"His diplomacy is founded in the concept that those who are to lead the world must do so on the basis of values and attitudes that are shared by the majority of the world's population."

Asked why the prize had been awarded to Mr Obama less than a year after he took office, Nobel committee head Thorbjoern Jagland said: "It was because we would like to support what he is trying to achieve".

"It is a clear signal that we want to advocate the same as he has done," he said.

He specifically mentioned Mr Obama's work to strengthen international institutions and work towards a world free of nuclear arms.

The statement from the committee also said the US president had "created a new climate in international politics".

"Multilateral diplomacy has regained a central position, with emphasis on the role that the United Nations and other international institutions can play," it said.

The committee added that the US was now playing a more constructive role in meeting "the great climatic challenges" facing the world, and that democracy and human rights would be strengthened.

The guy that's about to order up to 45,000 soldiers into Afghanistan wins the FUCKING NOBEL PEACE PRIZE??? Everytime I think this crap can't get any more bizarre, I find myself surprised by how wrong I was.

[idiom]

What Peace?

Apparently its to encourage him not to bomb Iran... and NK... and Pakistan....

[hugolp]

We live in the fucking matrix.

[devil21]

Nobel's official press release:
http://nobelpeaceprize.org/en_GB/home/announce-2009/

That statement basically says they reward the very best globalist (NWO shill) of the year. Im hearing that the audience was floored and audible gasps were heard when it was announced. He beat Ghandi. Seriously.

Bush peace: Barrel of a gun, sell out, and bribes.

Obama peace: Bribes, sell out, and barrel of a gun.

The deadline for nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize was 11 days after Obamas term began. Nobel has lost ALL credibility.

He was apparently nominated AFTER the deadline...

Iraq - in progress w/ mercs
Afghanistan - in progress and escalating
Iran - getting ready to invade
Pakistan - occasional hostilities
North Korea - pending
Many, many other countries - covertly
United States - fifth columnist take over in progress

What a load of bullshit! :rolleyes:

[RM918]

Are they just giving out awards for just saying shit without doing it now?

[angelatc]

The laureate - chosen by a five-member committee - wins a gold medal, a diploma and 10m Swedish kronor ($1.4m).

Is he allowed to accept that?

[tangent4ronpaul]

Is he allowed to accept that?

No - it would be considered a gift.
I bet he does, anyway.

He won for giving people hope? I want to throw up right now. This ruined my day

[fisharmor]

Gore was bad. Krugman was bad.
But at least there was a tenuous thread of a link between those people and the categories they won.

They seem hellbent on marginalizing themselves.

[teacherone]

Hell, if just talking about peace earns a peace prize--

does this mean I can talk about my solar-powered robotic bikini-line shaver for use in the tanning booth-- and win the Nobel for science?

[Jags~Beach]

They awarded it to him for his efforts of being the pawn who bring's the one world order into fruition, and once it is on the verge of emerging he will be crowned king, this prize is just one step closer to his coronation...

Obama has one hell of a resume, it won't be long now before his messianic following go beyond crowning him king of the world to making him out to be the god of the world, not that this is not already occuring in certain media circles...

This.

I couldn't say it any better. I didn't believe my colleague this morning when he told me this. What better representation of Orwell's vision of War is Peace

[Bucjason]

Note to Self: Escalate and continue two needless wars and you can win the Nobel Peace Prize....

[apropos]

What a farce.

[jkr]

...for war?

[jsu718]

I would have accepted Bill Clinton winning... although I guess his stuff was after the deadline too.

[Sarge]

Every site I have looked at this am. is in total disbelief that he won this.

11 days in office and they bend the rules on nominations? This from another site,

"We are joking about this in Sweden! It's a bribe, to get oil concession's for Statoil, the state norweigan oil company! "

I wonder if he is going to use the prize money to reimburse us for all his jet expenses? I won't hold my breath on that one. Wait, we are getting out of war. I await the PR this am.

[Jags~Beach]

of course this has nothing to do with peace, and everything to do with pushing Obama to the surface as the cream of the crop in the world order...

So who would be a better candidate for the Prize? The Dalai Lama whom Obama cowardly refuses to meet with?

[Bruno]

On CNN they weren't even saying what he won for. I think they too are in shock. So he won for stuff he is trying to do or wants to do, not that has been done?

[Bucjason]

You don't win for Peace , you win for pushing global socialism. Al Gore is a prime example...

[max]

The Globalists at Nobel have a long history of awarding the "Peace Prize" to Marxists.

The left defines "peace" as a world government that no sovereign nation can rebel against. Obama is making great strides towards that goal.

[DAFTEK]

On CNN they weren't even saying what he won for. I think they too are in shock. So he won for stuff he is trying to do or wants to do, not that has been done?

What? even the Communist News Network that protects BumBama every chance they get is in shock? :eek::rolleyes::D

Nobel is a joke...

This may backfire and turn into a debacle even worse than the Olympics failure.

The averager sheep-in-the-street has got to be able to smell the bullshit on this one........right?...Please tell me I'm right on that assumption.

[DAFTEK]

^ lolol :p Obamabots cant smell anything.....

[FreedomRings]

Couldn't this also be an attempt to rein in Obama? As a Nobel Peace Price winner he will have to live up to his image and that will make it much more difficult to start new wars.

[yokna7]

The deadline for nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize was 11 days after Obamas term began. Nobel has lost ALL credibility.

You don't have to be president to be a Nobel prize winner. I think he was making the world feel good as a candidate.:rolleyes:

I believe that this is an attempt by the Nobel committee to push Obama towards a withdrawal from the wars, bigger attempts at peace and such, because he has done nothing to deserve this prize.

First, Krugman now Obama............They should just call it the "Kick Ronpaulforums.com in the dingding day" award.

I bet he approves the 40,000 more troops they're asking for... and the Dems still don't see the irony in him receiving this prize. Partisan hackery really is blinding for many. They will rationalize anything.

Code Pink is on board for Afghanistan right? Should be enough evidence right there.

Everyone at my work agrees it is wrong.

I thought that too after I got over the shock and thought about it. Hopefully that strategy, if that's what they were after, happens.

[bucfish]

No surprise living in this highly irrational and illogical world.

[Jags~Beach]

OK it is all starting to make sense now...

Obama is an antizionist, that much has been clear since his administration has taken over, his war on the conservative movement is on the verge of being unprecedented, considering how his department of homeland security has made Christians out to be a national security threat among other facets of the conservative movement, then there is the polar shift in our relationship to Israel.

The change in tone, as far as where the vibe of the Whitehouse is coming from, considering the targets of this nations crosshairs have been polarized to the point where the former targets have now been victimized to the point of making those formerly targeting them the demonized targets: IE the CIA.

The devil is in the details, and the details reak with our former allies being transformed by our current allies... We today stand at a flashpoint that is not only visible in the heavens but on the earth.

Now Obama is declared a nobel peace prize winner the same day we bomb the moon? What does it mean?

America just bombed the moon: A HEAVENLY BODY~!! By definition this is a declaratin of war, but with whom? Are we now officially at war with heaven? We just bombed a heavenly body is it fair to say that Obama has now officially gone to war with God himself?:eek:

Obama is a radical beyond the extremes, and imaginations of most Americans who are waking from their sleep. Think about it, if you where a psycho, and wanted to go to war with the God of the Heavens what better way to declare your intent, and what better way to do it, if it was in your power to do so, than to bomb the nearest heavenly body, the moon itself: there is no symbolism to it.

Fact is we are right on pace with biblical prophecy, the end time world leader will lead the world into war with God himself. You can ignore prophecy all you like, but when we are on pace with it, ignoring it takes a lot more effort... This is a bold and radical step that aims to bring mankind one step closer to being the ultimate authority over itself, but in order to do so, Zion needs to be eradicated off of the face of the earth, so that nothing can stand between man rather than the God of creation, being the authority over mankind in the world.

As I write this, the war to remove the Zionists from even praying near the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, is in full force by Muslim clerics who are urging an uprising of arabs to wage war with Zionists who dare to pray at the actual wall of temple mount they built.

It is official, America according to Obama is no longer a Christian nation, it has actually gone as far as to go to war with the God of creation by bombing the moon. Mankind now has finally emerged on the precipice of being the ultimate authority over itself, while acknowledging Obama as the winner of this peace proccess.

The irony is not conincidental, it is actually right on schedule...:cool:

[amy31416]

I didn't intend to stop by the forums until much later, but then I read the news and saw it and was like WHAT???

Code Pink is now pro-war--okay, I'm not shocked, they're knuckleheads who were anti-war because it was cool for liberals to antagonize Republicans. Fine.

But the effing Nobel *PEACE* Prize? He's expanded the Afghan war, gone into Pakistan, only kinda sorta reduced troops in Iraq, is threatening sanctions against Iran, if not worse.

Ahh well, I guess if Alfred Nobel thought that TNT was the way to peace for all nations, then this might make sense.

Bah.

They've done some pretty brazen things with the peace prize before, but basing it on pretty words during a presidential campaign is unprecedented. It either shows that they're getting very desperate to deify Obama before an increasingly doubtful audience, or they've lost all sense of subtlety in the political motivations of awarding that now meaningless piece of tin.

That seems to be the general “alternate consensus” on CNN right now; that the prize was a tactic to raise expectations on Obama. While that may not be all bad, it doesn’t say much for the integrity of the prize. Anyway, I think EVERYONE (including Obama himself) is universally proclaiming WTF!

Here’s my little theory. The NP has become like Time Magazine’s “Person of the Year”, in that it can be awarded for notoriety as well as prestige.

I got an A on a recent Economics test. Maybe I can win that Economics prize they are giving out?

[smithtg]

AND I THOUGHT AL GORE WASNT WORTHY! I ALMOST CRASHED WHEN I HEARD THIS DRIVING TO WORK

Whats funny is that I heard that the nominations "closed" sometime in January. So for 2 weeks of work, Obama gets a prize. Sounds like something I do for my 3 year old

Another joke I heard was that one wonder's what the conversation between Gibbs and Obama was this morning (if he was the one that told him)

Another angle is that Obama has known for awhile because these things are all preset way before the press announcements are made too

I just told my wife and sister in law about the prize and they both just stared at me and said "Why???" I am afraid I don't didn't have and answer for them.

http://nobelpeaceprize.org/en_GB/nomination_committee/selection-process/


How are Laureates selected?
At the first meeting of the Nobel Committee after the February 1 deadline for nominations, the Committee's Permanent Secretary presents the list of the year's candidates. The Committee may on that occasion add further names to the list, after which the nomination process is closed, and discussion of the particular candidates begins. In the light of this first review, the Committee draws up the so-called short list - i.e. the list of candidates selected for more thorough consideration. The short list typically contains from five to twenty candidates.
I would like to know if the text quoted from the Nobel Peace website was changed over the past year to accommodate the ORACLE's selection.

Nominations had to be received by February 1, 2009. He was in office for 10days. WHAT THE HELL COULD HE HAVE POSSIBLY DONE IN THOSE 10 days? OBAMA did nothing in Chicagoland, EXCEPT, line the pockets of his own family... Michele Obama's $350K - 20 days of work at a HOSPITAL.

Remember Obama's first ACT: He Bombed in Pakistan and killed civilians including women and children.

Although Obama has abandoned many of the "war on terror" policies of George Bush while he was president, he is not retreating from the hunt for Osama bin Laden and other al-Qaida leaders.
The US believes they are hiding in the tribal areas along the border with Afghanistan (http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/afghanistan), and made 30 strikes last year in which more than 200 people were killed. In the election, Obama hinted at increased operations in Pakistan, saying he thought Bush had made a mistake in switching to Iraq before completing the job against al-Qaida in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

[Bryan]

The words of the Nobel Peace Prize show they are either delusional or corrupted. To quote: "Democracy and human rights are to be strengthened" they say of Obama- yet, my rights and freedoms are going way down under Obama with the burden of more regulation and more taxation- if I do not comply to the demands of this "democracy" then I will get a gun put to my head and taken to jail. Where is the human rights in this? Doesn't the committee know that democracy is just a form of mob rule? Here in the US we are a Constitutional Republic.

[mrMISDEMEANOR]

OK it is all starting to make sense now...

Obama is an antizionist, that much has been clear since his administration has taken over, his war on the conservative movement is on the verge of being unprecedented, considering how his department of homeland security has made Christians out to be a national security threat among other facets of the conservative movement, then there is the polar shift in our relationship to Israel.

The change in tone, as far as where the vibe of the Whitehouse is coming from, considering the targets of this nations crosshairs have been polarized to the point where the former targets have now been victimized to the point of making those formerly targeting them the demonized targets: IE the CIA.

The devil is in the details, and the details reak with our former allies being transformed by our current allies... We today stand at a flashpoint that is not only visible in the heavens but on the earth.

Now Obama is declared a nobel peace prize winner the same day we bomb the moon? What does it mean?

America just bombed the moon: A HEAVENLY BODY~!! By definition this is a declaratin of war, but with whom? Are we now officially at war with heaven? We just bombed a heavenly body is it fair to say that Obama has now officially gone to war with God himself?:eek:

Obama is a radical beyond the extremes, and imaginations of most Americans who are waking from their sleep. Think about it, if you where a psycho, and wanted to go to war with the God of the Heavens what better way to declare your intent, and what better way to do it, if it was in your power to do so, than to bomb the nearest heavenly body, the moon itself: there is no symbolism to it.

Fact is we are right on pace with biblical prophecy, the end time world leader will lead the world into war with God himself. You can ignore prophecy all you like, but when we are on pace with it, ignoring it takes a lot more effort... This is a bold and radical step that aims to bring mankind one step closer to being the ultimate authority over itself, but in order to do so, Zion needs to be eradicated off of the face of the earth, so that nothing can stand between man rather than the God of creation, being the authority over mankind in the world.

As I write this, the war to remove the Zionists from even praying near the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, is in full force by Muslim clerics who are urging an uprising of arabs to wage war with Zionists who dare to pray at the actual wall of temple mount they built.

It is official, America according to Obama is no longer a Christian nation, it has actually gone as far as to go to war with the God of creation by bombing the moon. Mankind now has finally emerged on the precipice of being the ultimate authority over itself, while acknowledging Obama as the winner of this peace proccess.

The irony is not conincidental, it is actually right on schedule...:cool:
You really need to stop, I'm meeting more and more people like you in real life, it's kind of scary. Not all of us on here are devout Christians adhering to biblical prophecy..please stop with this, you are doing nothing but keeping the liberty movement in the same light as people with tinfoil hats on.

That seems to be the general “alternate consensus” on CNN right now; that the prize was a tactic to raise expectations on Obama. While that may not be all bad, it doesn’t say much for the integrity of the prize. Anyway, I think EVERYONE (including Obama himself) is universally proclaiming WTF!

Here’s my little theory. The NP has become like Time Magazine’s “Person of the Year”, in that it can be awarded for notoriety as well as prestige.


Well played !!:D


You are correct sir. I'll use the excuse that my mind is still blown by the whole situation.

Ha! Another juicy one!!

Man, the jokes are flying in from all angles!! This is like the Challenger crash!!

Poll Results
Thank you for voting.
Does President Barack Obama deserve to have won the Nobel Peace Prize?
Yes. 32% http://www.nydailynews.com/img/poll_color.gif No. 62% http://www.nydailynews.com/img/poll_color.gif Not sure. 6% http://www.nydailynews.com/img/poll_color.gif


In one fell swoop, the Nobel Prize (http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Nobel+Prizes) jury just made a mockery of the world's most revered honor and handed Barack Obama (http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Barack+Obama)'s opponents a great talking point. They wounded two doves with one stone.
Obama should say "Thanks, but no thanks. I really didn't earn this. It's far too early to know whether my efforts will further the cause of peace. There are countless people more deserving in America (http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/United+States) alone. And besides, I'll worry about prizes after I'm the President. For now, I have a job to do."
Do the folks in Oslo (http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Oslo) realize what a gift they just gave to the Republicans (http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/U.S.+Republican+Party), who have been hammering away at what they view as Obama's weak-kneed foreign policy, at his flying all over the planet to curry favor while he (in their analysis) neglects the economy and capitulates on basic American national security interests?
Thanks to the Nobel committee, less than a year into his presidency he's President of the World, a label he won't be able to shake.
Even as Iran (http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Iran) pursues a nuclear weapon, the war in Afghanistan (http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Afghanistan) worsens and China (http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/China) rises ominously in influence. And in all these trials, the jury is out as to whether Obama's efforts will succeed or backfire.
It gets even sillier; nominations had to be received much earlier this year, when Obama had fewer notches on his brand new belt. This -- the warrantless adulation of elites around the world -- is a recipe for intense U.S. populist disdain.
Obama's fault? No. Obama's problem? Yes.
The Nobel Prize for Peace had already fallen far in the estimation of much of America. It was already seen as captive to the political left and a handful of crazy causes. For many years and many prizes, that was unfair.
The carping got louder when Al Gore (http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Al+Gore) shared the prize, even though that was based on a real body of important work.
Now, there's no more debate. Even the left-wing will have to acknowledge they put ideological sympathies ahead of achievements.
The Prize - which meant something once - is now officially a late-night joke. And like it or not, Obama is part of the punchline.
This is not the 3 a.m.phone call Obama and Hillary Clinton (http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Hillary+Clinton) were arguing about in last year's campaign, but the consequences to his public image could be equally significant if he mishandles it.
Any adviser with 10 brain cells will tell him he has only one alternative: to decline the prize and urge it be re-awarded to someone whose life is a true tribute to peace. Like the dissidents who bravely flooded the streets this summer to protest Iran's election. Or a leader in nuclear non-proliferation.
It could be Obama's Sister Souljah (http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Sister+Souljah) moment to scold his fans in Oslo. He would be going against the grain to dress down those who love him too much for his own good.

[Reason]

From Lew Rockwell's blog,


Barack Obama today sensationally won the Nobel Peace Prize after just nine months in office for returning America to a multilateralist foreign policy after eight years of going it alone under George W Bush. The Norwegian Nobel Committee said it was honouring the 48-year-old US President for “his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples”. [TRANSLATION: He now wants all of our allies to either actively join in or at least approve of our continuing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan (and pretty soon probably Iran and Pakistan too) instead of us pursuing our criminal actions alone.]
The five jurors, elected by the Norwegian parliament, also said in their citation that they had attached “special importance to Obama’s vision of and work for a world without nuclear weapons”. [Except, of course, Israel. Or, for that matter, all of the countries who already have nuclear weapons—including the United States.]
Mohamed ElBaradei, who heads the UN’s nuclear watchdog and won the prize in 2005, said: “I cannot think of anyone today more deserving of this honour. In less than a year in office, he has transformed the way we look at ourselves and the world we live in and rekindled hope for a world at peace with itself.” [TRANSLATION: Now that a Republican is out of office, all of these criminal wars that we've been fighting are now "transformed" into "just" wars because the Democrat in office is continuing these criminal wars (as it was always meant to be, by the way).]

afghans 'confused' by obama's win


posted: Friday, october 09, 2009 10:53 am
nbc news correspondents and producers around the world share some of the local reactions they heard to news that president barack obama won the nobel peace prize.


By adrienne mong, nbc news producer

kabul, afghanistan – news that president obama had won the nobel peace prize came as a surprise to people we spoke to in kabul.

At the kabul fried chicken restaurant in the shar-e naw neighborhood, obaid alam congratulated us at first. "you are from america, yes? I should congratulate you," he smiled at first.

But when we asked whether he thought the u.s. President deserved the prize, he replied, "he just became the president. things are just the same as the way they were by the administration of mr. [george w.] bush. Things are not better, things are worse and worse."

in fact, alam said, as far as afghanistan is concerned, "the number of u.s. Army [troops] has increased here. The number of terrorist attacks increased here. I’m kind of confused whether that nobel award [is] for all those things."

similarly, another customer at the restaurant, who did not offer his name, said no one had seen any results yet from obama’s efforts to bring peace to the world. "since he is the president just for the last eight months, i think that’s too early."

these sentiments were echoed everywhere in local afghan media, although there were extreme versions as well. On the one hand, president hamid karzai offered his congratulations. on the other, a taliban spokesman condemned the award, saying obama’s strategy has been to increase the number of u.s. Troops on afghan soil, which has increased violence and lead to the deaths of more civilians.

[ClayTrainor]

If Obama was honest, he would've said no, and i would've had profound respect for him.

Imagine if he said something like.

"I do not feel it is acceptable for me to be awarded a peace prize, when I've had to take drastic, but necessary actions that have resulted in innocent deaths"

I would not agree with the necessity of the actions but, i would at least respect him for not viewing himself as an advocate of "peace". Unfortunately, he's an egomaniac and is pretty much a professional award and praise acceptor.

BOOKER RISING COMMENTARY: WTH?!?! Obama Wins 2009 Nobel Peace Prize For No Accomplishments?!?!


When I first read this morning on another website that President Barack Obama had won the Nobel Peace Prize, I thought someone was joking. After all, the nomination process is long and it means he was nominated for the prize within two weeks of his inauguration. But yes, President Obama is indeed the 2009 recipient, becoming the third sitting U.S. president and fourth man who has been U.S. president to be named for the honor.

Come on, folks, President Obama hasn't even been in office for nine months! The Nobel Peace Prize committee are dedicated leftists (which is why they will never consider moderate-conservative feminist Ayaan Hirsi Ali's pro-peace work fighting violent Islam and its oppression of women, for such an award...even though she's been nominated in the past). However, the committee used to reward actual results. They've now truly lost their damn minds.

"Hours after winning a Nobel Peace Prize, President Barack Obama assembled his war council in the White House basement to talk about how many troops might be needed to right the 8-year-old Afghanistan conflict.."

Gotta love the headlines on this story, there is no word that accurately describes the exponential hippocracy.

[TheEvilDetector]

Apparently Obama uttered the following:
"Let me be clear: I do not view it as a recognition of my own accomplishments, but rather as an affirmation of American leadership on behalf of aspirations held by people in all nations. To be honest, I do not feel that I deserve to be in the company of so many of the transformative figures who've been honored by this prize."

What exactly is "affirmation of American leadership on behalf of aspirations held by people in all nations" ?

How does this work, when he also states: "I do not feel that I deserve to be in the company of so many of the transformative figures who've been honored by this prize" ?

So he agrees that he doesn't deserve it, but somehow it shows that American Presidents are fit to "lead" on behalf of aspirations held by the world's population?

Does he ever choke on his own bullshit? Nobel committee isn't off the hook either for ruining the credibility of their prize.

I had no clue you've been elected the representative of all non-Jews on this site. Suggestion: Speak for yourself. YumYum knows Yiddish, so YumYum knows better. Right YumYum? The term goy, goyim and goyisha are descriptive terms, not necessarily offensive. Context is everything.

I will post what I choose to post and you can live with that. You are one of the last people that has the moral capital to call people on perceived insults...just judging by your participation in my threads.

Miriam-Webster (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/goyish)

Main Entry: goy
Pronunciation: \ˈgȯi\
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural goy·im \ˈgȯi-əm\ also goys
Etymology: Yiddish, from Hebrew gōy people, nation
Date: 1841

sometimes disparaging : gentile 1

— goy·ish \ˈgȯi-ish\ adjective, sometimes disparaging


The point is, the term "Wailing Wall" is not a term used by Jews when referring to the Kosel. BTW, the term "Jew" can and often is used by goyim in an offensive manner. I don't call people on it though. It's their decision.

Okay. I've read all the posts, and now feel I'm in a position to reply to the thread topic.

You'll have to register at PJ TV to watch it. Easy and private. He's always a stitch.

I had no clue you've been elected the representative of all non-Jews on this site. Suggestion: Speak for yourself. YumYum knows Yiddish, so YumYum knows better. Right YumYum? The term goy, goyim and goyisha are descriptive terms, not necessarily offensive. Context is everything.

I will post what I choose to post and you can live with that. You are one of the last people that has the moral capital to call people on perceived insults...just judging by your participation in my threads.



None of your threads even belong anywhere in this forum. They have nothing to do with getting conservative Republicans elected, because our definition of conservative would cut off funding and arms to Israel. You don't support our cause. You're only here to distract from it.

And goyisha is indeed an offensive term. Just because you decided that it's only offensive if you say it's offensive doesn't mean it isn't offensive.

PajamasTV - a neocon site. Go figure. Sorry but most of us have no interest in watching what genocidal maniacs find humorous.

ANd make no mistake - I mean my insults. I don't try to weasel out of them.

I have stated repeatedly that I would like to see all foreign aid to every single country stopped forthwith. I have also stated that American troops do not belong overseas and need to come home. Try reading my posts sometime instead of skimming them for whatever happens to annoy you on any given day.


You're only here to distract from it.

Whatever.

I'm here to post my views on what will keep America free, which includes, but is not limited to, exposing certain lies. No Jew with any self-respect is going to let the sort of boloney go by unanswered.

Those who are here to post their disinformation re Israel/Zionists/Jews/Judaism etc are persistent, and will not let a thread which contradicts their worldview die unless they have the last word. So, as long as I choose to remain on this forum, or if I am banned, I will outlast them, even if I have to repeat my words over and over again, just as they repeat their same, tired old lies over and over again. It's getting to where all I have to do is copy and paste my previous posts, as the same vomitus from said members continues recirculating, as if that is going to make their lies suddenly become the truth.

Being distracted by idiotic conspiracy theories, claiming that .02% of the world's population is somehow out to control the world, and especially the US, which is an almost exact replica of the lies perpetrated by Goebells and Der Sturmer, is not going to make America free. Being lied to and believe the lie is another set of chains.

Are you saying that the only perspective on foreign aid, the only perspective on the Middle East allowed here is one which pins the blame on the Zionists and/or Jews?? I doubt Dr. Ron Paul holds those views. I think maybe you've misunderstood him, because he had quite the approval rating among Israelis, especially the conservative ones at such news sites as Israel National News (http://www.israelnationalnews.com/). Dr. Paul understands the concept of national sovereignty. Discontinuing foreign aid to Israel, as long as it is also discontinued for Israel's enemies at the same time, would enhance Israel's sovereignty not detract from it.

The garbage you and others who would like to convince us of, that the entire problem vis-a-vis the Middle East in due to the "Zionists" is the distraction. I am shining a light on it.


And goyisha is indeed an offensive term. Just because you decided that it's only offensive if you say it's offensive doesn't mean it isn't offensive.

So, be offended. I posted the Miriam-Webster definition, which states it can be used as a pejorative -- but is not necessarily used thus. Take it up with them. Like I said, context is everything. Using the term "Wailing Wall" is offensive to Jews, although in all fairness, YumYum's very funny post would not have been funny had she used the more correct term "Wailing Wall." "Goy" simply means "nation" in Hebrew.


PajamasTV - a neocon site.

And most Jews understand that often, but not always, folks who use the term "neocon" really means "Jew" and that when used, the term is often antisemitic. When used pejoratively, it is obvious, yet I overlook the offense all the time. In fact, I don't think I've ever called anyone on it. What matters to me more is the content of the post. I'm not going to try and read someone's mind.

One needs to develop a thick skin when posting on a forum, especially a political forum. Try it sometime.


Go figure. Sorry but most of us have no interest in watching what genocidal maniacs find humorous.

There you go, attempting to pretend that this forum elected you as representative. I don't think so.


ANd make no mistake - I mean my insults. I don't try to weasel out of them.

If I choose to insult you, you'll know it. However, there is no need for me to do the insulting.

Huh?

[ElyaKatz]

Huh?

Oh jeez. Now are we going to get into a 30 post debate on the term "neocon"??

I qualified my claim that "neocon" can sometimes be used in an antisemitic manner.

Since it's often used by non-Jews who don't have an antisemitic bone in their body, I don't call people on it and usually assume the best, as long as the content of the post doesn't reveal otherwise. Even then, I don't call anyone on it, ever. I respond to the points in the post. But it is a favorite of antisemites who don't want to expose themselves as such. It's usually a simple matter to decipher.

I was making a point that if one is going to be thin skinned, and accuse someone of being insulting based on a term that is ambiguous at best, that type of distraction strategy can cut both ways.

Below I've linked an article which backs my position, namely, that within a certain context, the term "neocon" can be and is used as an antisemtic slur, just as the term "Jew" or "goy" can also be used pejoratively, but not necessarily so. Are we going to have to completely remake the American lexicon to protect the thin-skinned???

If I decide to insult someone, it will be by poking fun at their inane arguments, not name calling. Thus, if I use the term "goy", "goyim" or "goyisha", I am not using that term in a pejorative sense. Trust me on that or not. Your choice.

I recommend you read the entire article I've linked. However in the interest of time and convenience...I've posted the most salient portion. It's good to understand the history of the term though. You will only get that from doing a bit of research. This article is a good beginning.

So, what is a 'neocon'? (http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/s_196286.html)

"Paul Gigot: No. Unlike a lot of the people on the left, I'm not going to question the motives of people who use the phrase. I think a lot of people just use it as a short-term shortcut for anyone who supported the war. But in the mouth of some people, there is an anti-Semitic overtone. I would point to recent remarks by (Sen.) Fritz Hollings. He clearly was attempting to link support for the war to Jews who also support Israel -- and I think that's a slur.

George Will: It's not necessarily anti-Semitic. There is often an anti-Semitic twist to it, yes."

I think he should have turned it down. He has not done anything to earn it.

Barack Obama...... turning down another opportunity to inflate his ego?

To be fair, WaPo and NYT were not given awards after fake Iraq WMD stories but they won other awards recently:



Washington Post, NYT win Pulitzers for work on Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin



Unfortunately, CNN was left out by mistake?
