Biden nominated for Nobel Peace Prize

Oct 4, 2020
WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) — There’s not much Democrat Joe Biden and Republican President Donald Trump have in common. Except now, both can say they’ve been nominated for the 2020 Nobel Peace Prize.
Chris Bryant, member of Parliament of the United Kingdom, told the London Evening Standard he nominated Biden for using the positive power of word instead of resorting to rhetoric that could lead to violence.

“When others have resorted to violent solutions, he has argued that the best force is the force of argument,” Bryant told the Standard. “Because guns can stop a heart but well-placed words can change many hearts, and many hearts can change a world.”

Not clear so far if interests allied with the lobbies that helped with coup against Trump are behind this nomination.

More evidence that the Nobel Peace Price is garbage at this point.

I wonder if ED made the nomination ?

Nope, he had voted for Iraqi freedom war. Do you think so called 'treacherous backstabber lobbies' could be behind this?
Assuming ss's claim is confirmed.

I'm curious...when did they "jump the shark"?

Back in the sixties?...more recently?

They've been irrelevant to me since the anti nuke nuts during the Reagan admin.

You might not agree with the "anti nuke nuts" but at least they were advocating for peace. Obama increased drone strikes and got a Peace Prize. To add insult to injury, during his acceptance speech he spat on the idea of non-violence.

I make this statement mindful of what Martin Luther King said in this same ceremony years ago - “Violence never brings permanent peace. It solves no social problem: it merely creates new and more complicated ones.” As someone who stands here as a direct consequence of Dr. King’s life’s work, I am living testimony to the moral force of non-violence. I know there is nothing weak -nothing passive - nothing naïve - in the creed and lives of Gandhi and King.

But as a head of state sworn to protect and defend my nation, I cannot be guided by their examples alone. I face the world as it is, and cannot stand idle in the face of threats to the American people. For make no mistake: evil does exist in the world. A non-violent movement could not have halted Hitler’s armies. Negotiations cannot convince al Qaeda’s leaders to lay down their arms. To say that force is sometimes necessary is not a call to cynicism - it is a recognition of history; the imperfections of man and the limits of reason.

I raise this point because in many countries there is a deep ambivalence about military action today, no matter the cause. At times, this is joined by a reflexive suspicion of America, the world’s sole military superpower.

It was that speech that took me from ambivalence to outright disdain for president Obama. And it confirmed in my mind that the Nobel "Peace" Prize was garbage.

The anti-nuke power nuts.

I made that statement because I just happened to be reading an article about how Jackson Browne was protesting the Seabrook NH power station back in 1978.

Here we are 43 years later and nothing but clean, efficient production of power.

Gotcha about Obama.
