Rachel Maddow on Obama's Nobel Peace Prize and Rethuglian's Obama Derangement Syndrome

[MoscowMaestro]

Whoever gave this warmongering nigger the Piss Prize was clearly out of their minds. Maddow blew any credibility she ever had with this one.

[Johnnyboy792]

Only a liberal like Maddow can justify this by bringing Bush into the conversation. The question is, what did he do to deserve this award ? The application had to be in on February 1, 2009, which meant Obama was in office for 12 days before being nominated. The Nobel Prize has become a joke !!!

[MsBigBeat]

Her last sentence is Sarcasm at its greatest :)

[MrElasticplastic]

Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize because of his rhetoric on a nuclear free world and his speech "reaching out" to the Muslim world. However, his actions couldn't be further from his rhetoric. Yes, he came to the agreement with Russia to eliminate part of each country's stockpile. Yet in a recent meeting with Israeli PM Netanyahu, he not only had no problem with Israel having nuclear weapons, but also indicated that we would not pressure them to sign the non-proliferation treaty. Pure hypocrisy.

[libertyvidz]

@MrElasticplastic Yep! Plus during the campaign he claimed we'd be out of Iraq in 16 months at one point but later declined to promise we'd be out by 2013 at another point. We now know which was the lie unfortunately. And Obama has expanded the war in Afghanistan. Bush sucks, but Obama is no better. Michael Steele deserves a peace prize more than Obama. At least he told the truth about Afghanistan.

[MrElasticplastic]

@libertyvidz Bingo. Bush was a terrible president. Obama is also terrible. He ordered more drone strikes in Pakistan his first year in office than Bush did in his entire second term.

[libertyvidz]

@MrElasticplastic Exactly! Some people can't tell the difference between someone who is actually antiwar and someone who just doesn't like Obama because he's "liberal". It's really sad.

[mwells219]

did limbaugh call obama a world wide joke. after everyone else in the world hated george bush? seriously you conservatives are really really dumb.

[nakedtruther]

Is this the same Rachel Maddow that just a few months ago attack Obama (rightly) for having a worse indefinite detention program than Bush? Yep. I think it is. watch?v=1uuWVHT1WUY What changed? Why socialist Maddow is in love with Obamacare and has rallied against the "teabaggers". She can no longer attack hypocrisy because she has become hypocrisy. Shame on her and shame on Obama the warmonger.

[Tr3N3ty]

hey you fucked up ass. Obama is handling the shit left by your hero, George W. Bush.

[jmdrake]

@Tr3N3ty Vulgar language is the last resort of the simple minded. George Bush is no hero. But neither is Obama. Just ask Cindy Sheehan.

[Tr3N3ty]

heya jackass (aka jmdrake), it's my page and i'll use whatever terms i chose so take your lame ans stupid comments/feedback elsewhere. and Obama is a lot more 'heroic' than Bush, since you brought it up.

[Salvysahagun]

@Tr3N3ty

Democrats and Republicans are BOTH morons.... they think Bush and Obama are different! wow god just wow

[mwells219]

you're still pissed that people like the black guy more than the cowboy. tell you what when obama bankrupts the nation with two wars that made the world no safer but appeased a bunch of racist christian fundamentalists then you can bitch. until then put your head up your ass and shut the fuck up.

[libertyvidz]

@mwells219 Only a total fool would think that everyone who doesn't like Obama must support Bush. As for the "two wars", Obama has fully endorsed (and expanded) one of them and needlessly kept us in the other one.

[mwells219]

i'm just saying george w. has a worse reputation than the president that all the crazy white people scream about on tv.

[libertyvidz]

@mwells219 Ok. You dislike Bush more than you do Obama. Cool. I dislike both of them. The real question is, what has Obama done to promote peace? Why hasn't he met with Cindy Sheehan? Is Michael Steele wrong for criticizing the expansion of the Afghanistan war? Should we really be trying to tick off the Chinese by stationing cruise missiles within their sphere of influence?

[mwells219]

really because you're spending far more time complainging about obama. do you want some cheese with your whine?

[libertyvidz]

@mwells219 That just shows your ignorance. You and Tr3N3ty and other Obamabots want to base your views on someone because of their posts on a single video. And you refuse to address the underlying issue which is why does a warmonger president deserve a peace prize?

[libertyvidz]

@Tr3N3ty What do you think of your hero now that he's started his own war? The Lybian conflict was not "left over from Bush". Worse after initiating the bombing he went on vacation to South America. Obama deserves a "peace prize" about as much as Adolf Hitler.  Bush sucked. Obama sucks worse.

[MoscowMaestro]

@Tr3N3ty Y'mean by keeping Gitmo open (despite promising to close it), by running the Iraq War using a private Blackwater Army, by expanding the war in Afghanistan, by building a secret prison at Bagram, and by invading Libya? Fuck you and your shitty Obama lying faggot, he's even worse than Bush was.

[mwells219]

that's an honest opposition of policy. a very different thing than the vitriolic screedy hate speech spewed by idiots like you that is almost never based in fact and frequently amounts to nothing but childish insults.

[Fashionificationful]

President Carter got the peace prize too. You know Obama was nominated for the Nobel Peace prize twelve days after taking office. Upon acceptance of winning it, Obama was praised by the committee, "extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy". . They also gave the peace prize to Yasser Arafat, the leader of the PLO, the best known terrorist organization on the globe. This is like giving it to David Duke, the former Grand Wizard of the KKK.

.

Allen West 2012

[MrYoDADAY]

@Fashionificationful lolol get the fuck outta here. 

[Tr3N3ty]

wow, you really are quite demented...

[philochs]

Woodrow Wilson was one of the worst humans ever, let alone presidents. The same is true about Obama. I guess they gave their prize to Hitler in secret.

[Tr3N3ty]

why not take your hate and stupidity elsewhere?

[Tr3N3ty]

wow, back with a different name and more of your dementedness. sick and sad.

[Tr3N3ty]

sorry, accidentally deleted your earlier demented comment. you can see i like to leave these comments to show people's foolishness. i'll repost it for you, ok?. thanks.

[Tr3N3ty]

ACCIDENTALLY DELTED THIS (P1):

from RogerBarrettLives :

I don't bow before the pope, and kiss his shiny Freemason ring, then I qualify as blind. You're in a cult like trance, so I can't blame you too much.You're happy to be brainwashed, and live in your gumdrop land, on lolly pop lane. You're belief system is truly myopic and misguided.

[Tr3N3ty]

ACCIDENTALLY DELTED THIS (P2):

from RogerBarrettLives :

You're squandering your precious time twittering away like the batshit nincompoop that you are. For shame, you're only projecting your self-hatred. Do you feel trapped, like you're in a cult? Seek Christ!

[utoobia]

@Tr3N3ty, seeking Christ is seeking another cult. Duh.

[Tr3N3ty]

i'm not the one seeking Christ so DUH! on you, @utoobia

[libertyvidz]

@philochs Yep. Woodrow Wilson was a straight up racist. He praised the movie "Birth of a Nation" (originally known as the Klansman) for showing the KKK as heroes. And he got America into a war that was none of our business.

[jessebrettjames]

What a bunch of crap...and this woman is as stupid as her hero...

[Tr3N3ty]

what a sad person you are. and blind too.

[NGBiGLlama]

the clip with Obama's speech about nuclear weapons is from his speech in Germany prior to being the official candidate. I've been there

[xoxbegumxox]

This was put so eloquently. A wonderful argument for something that should be respected without question.

[Holyjerk]

Maddow should make out with Ariana Huffington . I beleive this will make great t.v. and wlll be good for America.

[VariusMayhem]

The nobel peace prize awards effort? Cool! Hand it to Alex Jones and see what the public says to that! =P I would love to see THOSE reactions!

[paolo27th]

Fuck conservatards!

[nbk247]

this c*nt is just another brainwashed liberal. go borrow chris matthews pellet gun and put it in your mouth

[eqsmooth]

Come to my channel and learn my friend. At this point you are lucky someone has not picked you off with a far larger firearm than a pellet gun. You are so fucked. I think you smell like Glenn Beck's sweaty balls. I'm not into free speech at all dude, most specifically ignorant free speech. People like you should be arrested and sent to Guantanomo, at least until Guantanomo is dismantled. After that, shredded into shark food. Anyway, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran. FUCK STICK

[wolfgangfaust]

how do "governments" loudest and most ardent critics become sycophantic cheerleaders because of the stooge at the fron of the line? you appear to be an expert on the subject.

so, its' oKee-Dokke if barry kills people? American soldiers?

[nbk247]

sure thing you fuckwad, you'll see when the democraps bring this country to it's knees and we have a coup d'état and bring liberal JOKES like and line you and shoot you in the head. your a waste of space and someone should have kicked your mama down the stairs while you were inside her. Atleast my party believes in guns while you can bring your stick. Go put Maddow's dick back in your ass and go still K.O.s dick back in your mouth you fucking loser.

[eqsmooth]

Let's see. Big truck tiny dick. small brain, homophobe who is secretly begging for gay sex w/a black man. You are all the same like I said before. "Rachel is a guy, Keith is gay." Boring robots. Your dream world sounds nice. Germany was once about lining people up & shootin' 'em in the head, Vietnam, Japan, Bosnia, Serbia, Rwanda, Darfur, Sierra Leone. Except you couldn't find those places on a map. Why didn't you go military if wish to murder & you're so tough. Perhaps you're the pussy/faggot.

[nbk247]

well your suppose to be the open minded liberal that is suppose to be tolerant of everyone. But all i'm seeing from your posts are a bunch of hate filled BS. You would love nazi germany, vietnam, bosnia, serbia, rwanda, etc. they were all ran by people that our president and his cabinet admire! go learn something moron. I'm sure Maddows DICK is bigger than your pop cock. Pussy ass liberal. Like I said, i'll bring a gun to the fight, you bring your stick. see who wins.

[eqsmooth]

I'm not supposed to be anything. You came after me like a Michael Vick trained dog. I never said I was tolerant. Where is my hate compared to yours? My posts are rational. Neither hate filled nor b.s. If you read my comments to wolfgang you saw that. You claim you'll plan a coup & shoot me in the head. Is that not hate? Who in the cabinet admires Milosevich, Hirohito, Himmler, Ngo Dinh Diem (CIA killed him), Kagame? What is it with guns & sticks? Who R U? Bill the Butcher from Gangs of NY.

[nbk247]

So i'm lucky no one shoots me with something bigger than a pellet gun? and people like me should be sent to guantanomo and if' it's closed we are suppose to be shredded into shark bait? that wasn't hateful? just saying man.

Obama's Communications Director Anita Dunn said praises Mao Tse Tung and i've heard many other Obama advisors praise Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro. Thats just fricken scary in my book.

[eqsmooth]

I do believe torture is wrong & if 1 is not willing to go through it like Hitchens (he got water boarded as a volunteer & Hannity pussed out when challenged) then yes, if you get to shoot me for my views then I get to use TELE TUBBIES like Limbaugh & Falwell as shark bait. Anita Dunn got her quote from REPUBLICAN strategist Lee Atwater & liked it for its irony. You got that from GLENN BECK! When will you learn? Largest Liar/Spinner on TV. Who are the many others who praised Castro & Chavez? Who?

[mptabari]

nice try :))

[corncat]

It's creepy that Maddow somehow equates blind worship of Obama with "the good of the country".

Deep down, she seems to want Obama to be Mussolini.

[wolfgangfaust]

deserving the same fate?

[jd190d]

I looked at this and it really didn't make sense until I realized you don't know what truthiness is. Rather then casting pearls I will just refer you to the Colbert show and see if you can educate yourself. Sometimes I just forget how little most people know.

[corncat]

Hmm... it's hard to say which is worse - getting one's info from Maddow, or from Comedy Central.

[MrMartinezio]

I love all of Rachell's monkey-shines =) and funny faces X·\ - she's such a serious journalist.

[trucan52]

How would the Right know what qualifies someone for a Peace Prize,without knowing the meaning of peace.

[libertyvidz]

@trucan52 What about the left? Here's what Cindy Sheehan said recently.

For all intents and purposes, Mr. Obama, you have had a blank-check from the U.S. anti-war movement since you were elected. Certainly being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize gave these wars some international legitimacy, but those days of your free pass to carry out and magnify the Bush regime's crimes against humanity are over.

[jd190d]

The first problem with Rachel Maddow is that she uses historical facts to support her argument and it is widely known that facts have a decidely anti-right wing bias. Secondly she doesn't use baseless emotional arguments to support her position and to attack her opponents. Until she loses her use of facts and just uses truthiness to attack her opponents she will never drop to the level of the right wing pundits.

[Low10]

jd190d...ur statement is full of contradictions.

all Facts = anti right wing bias

"truthiness" = pro right wing bias

and until she stops using facts, she'll remain ABOVE the level of right wing pundits.

First, u need to pick up a dictionary, maybe one of those conservative dictionaries they sell in Texas.

[eqsmooth]

NICELY DONE

[smokeyyy1983]

that people listen to Rachel Maddow is a frightening reflection on the current mindset of the american public. i would be terrified to meet someone who watched this kind of partisan left-vs-right mud-slinging every night of the week. even worse than Rush on the "other side of the aisle".

are people really so incapable of thinking for themselves?

[clttretr049]

Did you listen to ANYTHING she said? Her arguments are quite valid: plenty of other people have won for extraordinary effort/bringing about a major change. Obama has certainly put a lot of effort into changing our image and his diplomatic policies are very different from bush's "With us or against us" crap.

[corncat]

"Her arguments are quite valid" Not really; she tried to reduce previous winners' LIFETIMES of sacrifice and struggle and real accomplishments into the equivalent of Obama's... what? Speeches?

[lkszt]

Rachel... She could convince me of anything...

[jessebickeldotcom]

Thanks for continuing the game, Rachel. Praise praise praise him away as he bomb bomb bombs Afghanistan and Pakistan. While he does not close Guantanamo. While he constructs a legal framework for torture and baseless detention.

[DoULuvOrangeSoda]

yeah he really didnt deserve it..

but direct your anger at the person who started the wars or authorized torture and detention.. not at the person attempting to stop them

youd just say obama gave terrorists a second chance to bomb America even if he does close guantanamo

[jessebickeldotcom]

You obviously don't know what I'd say. Because I wouldn't say that. I don't care about the place where prisoners are held. I care about the doctrines of pre-emption and detainment without charge being DESTROYED. Obama fails.

[wolfgangfaust]

FDR, WoodrowWilson, and obama-pretty good company

the top three "federal" reserve criminals of all time!

how much did the rothschilds pay for this?

[eqsmooth]

make an argument shithead. cite all your references. otherwise, you will be ignored. stupid shit.

[wolfgangfaust]

a communist illegal alien who refuses to show his birth certificate is "president" appointing a guy whose idea of "safeschools" is one where children have sex with adults in bus station restrooms as long as they use a rubber; one who praises dead NAMBLA pied piper harry hay. another one of his buddies is "Licky the Pinko Clown" who lectures catholic girls on what a great guy the mass murderer mao was.

this shit would be funny if the consequences were not severe, einstein.

[xoxbegumxox]

Do you even know what communism is? When you make those "arguments" are you really trying to gain respect towards your pov. It's truly embarrassing how many people there are like you in this country. Go take a history class at a community college and learn something.

[deathforusall]

this video has convinced me that the nobel peace prize is worthless and has no honor. was that the goal?

i dont hate Obama. i hate the way people treat him like jesus. i hate that our media is and always has worked toward making him look like jesus. i hate how people look at what he says and not at what it will take to get those things, or what might happen if we do get these things.

[woodycoat]

This guys a pompous buffoon!

[dlad38]

It put him in corner, politically with regards to Afghanistan. Either he abandons it or sends more troops. If he sends troops he is not the peacemaker.

[guard0544]

Just because we elected Obama...isnt an endorsement of everything he has ever said...or even EVERYTHING he said in the campaign. This lady doesnt seem to recognize that. I doubt most Americans believe it is a good idea to get rid of our nukes.

[krazy45cat]

For doing NOTHING .

[NCLUSA]

Let's love the Man, and not what he does, or does not do,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,?, no. If I had no experience (or very little) in what I do how long would I keep my job?.. The Peace Prize was given the President in the same way Michael Moore was given an award for his anti American movie. When they give the Nobel Peace Prize for Political reasons it means NOTHING, it has lost it's value.

[gradearawk]

To be honest he didn't deserve it, but apparently a lot of people who have won the award didn't deserve it. Let's hope he lives up to his prize.

"By any reasonable measure all Americans should be proud." I wonder if she would have said this if Bush would've won it? Just curious.

[Duder1969]

Fat ass Limbaugh says our presidents a joke PLEASE!!!!! What the hell was G.W. Bush,that fucker couldn't pour piss out of a boot with the instructions on the heel!!!

[NCLUSA]

Obama did nothing to deserve the Prize. Is there not like a 150,000$ dollars that goes with the prize?,, maybe he will that money in Rev Wright's collection box?

[fatcharlie24]

First, it's over a million dollars.  And second, he already said he'd give it to a secular charity.

[NCLUSA]

Good!.

[thefloacist]

He gave the money to charity.

Rev Wright jokes? In 2009? Come on, be a little more relevant.

[MojoJuana]

jesus, what da fuck is up with limpaugh's micropohone?

fuckin' thing looks a 14 carat gold plated dildo!!!

[sn8kb1te]

The pussafication of this once great nation continues.

[thefloacist]

I know right...yuck peace is for pussies, lol.

[frankystein12]

For once I agree with Limbaugh, Obama has done nothing to show that he deserves the award.

[ocelot814]

Obama winning peace prize is like Roman Polanski winning a teen choice award.

[POLOFOLK]

MSNBC is changing their logo to the Democratic donkey logo this week.

[independentview1]

According to Neilson her ratings were down 40% last month. Ouch.

[hotae333]

thats because we are the dictators , facts give me a break

[DrRobertJAsten]

Nice for Maddow to downplay the rhetoric we heard from her and the anti-Bush crowd and to exaggerate the comments of rightie talkers. I wonder if she would have been just as indignant had GWB won instead of Obama...

[bnmc07]

She points out that most of the anti-bush "rhetoric" aimed at Bush was based in Reality. He attacked Iraq under a lie, while Bin Laden got away. He let the country fall into the biggest Depression ever. He alienated most of the World and ruined the USA diplomacy. Fact Check . org

[DrRobertJAsten]

Only she forgot the Code Pink crowd and her own reflexive opposition to Bush policy. We didn't hear her righteous indignation againt people advocating the death of Bushie, like Sheehan or Betty Williams' desire to kill him. She claims that Yasser Arafat was hoping to reach a peace deal with the Israelis, which is a flat out lie. She doesn't consider the criticism of the committee's decision as legitimate, and instead regards it as kooky. Probably why she continues to tank in the ratings...

[egrimnes]

Actual she did speak out against Nancy Sheehan on a number of occasions but I guess you choose to block that out and to only cherry pick your own talking points.

[DrRobertJAsten]

She may have spoken out against Nancy Sheehan, but I was referring to Cindy, who wanted to go back in time to kill GWB in Barbara's womb...

[mole49er]

LOL.. ruined usa diplomacy. That was ruined long before the first bush was in office.

[thefloacist]

Okay, maybe he didn't "ruin USA diplomacy", as much as he only made things even worse?

[eqsmooth]

His diplomacy is his best attribute, you fuckin' orangutan. Try something else like, what he's done to rebuild the EPA which has global effects. Bush decimated, if not completely destroyed the EPA but you wouldn't know that because you watch FOX .

[wolfgangfaust]

he does have a great line of shit.

and that is all it is-BULLSHIT!

[eqsmooth]

I refuse to try sign language with simians. Charlton Heston was good at it, Try his staff. YOUR WOLFGANGFAUST screen name seems a bit over you head. Why not try Tenacious D or Spinal Tap.

[wolfgangfaust]

wonderful grade-school name calling, SmoothYoungBoy.

at least you are wise enough not to enter a gunfight unarmed.

[eqsmooth]

Not wise to mention guns & fights in a youtube comment. Could be misconstrued as a threat. Youtube is supposed to be entertaining & fun. It is a hilarious forum but you don't seem get that. You act unevolved & beneath yourself, especially if your screen name is a reference to Goethe. In this country generally, if one knows how to handle himself he doesn't need to carry a gun. If someone wants to shoot you should ask him what you did to provoke him. I just read your birther rant. Very Creepy.

[wolfgangfaust]

un-evolved? this crap coming from a boastful, arrogant little prick who states-

"make an argument shithead. . . . "

[eqsmooth]

All of you are the same. Slightly deranged, rather unlettered Beck/Limbaugh cry babies who are just bitter & pissed off that Obama the black man is in the WHITE HOUSE. You lost, so what. Your party is pitiful. You want more dead innocent people & Obama is unlikely to deliver for you. I appear arrogant because I am younger, yet more educated, have a more diverse vocabulary, listen to both sides of an argument and debate well. You have some deep seated issues and you are too old to work them out.

[wolfgangfaust]

republicans and democrats are both the cause of where we are-anyone who blames it all on one party has half a brain-like you.

diverse vocabulary? you are a foul mouthed little cretin who is obviously too self absorbed to see past his own blatant arrogance.

education?-

some salt peter can help you with your embarrassing "urges" @ recess.

[eqsmooth]

When did I refer to Republicans as THE cause? Where are my foul mouthed words? I can't even give you a Nobel prize for trying to be in a conversation here because you are not. This is a game & you haven't scored any points. I'm arrogant because I'm usually quite correct. It isn't as if I don't fact check, read & study. I also have the humility to admit when I'm ignorant. Everyone is ignorant of some things, if not many. Your wise cracks are belittling to you not me. Put away the anger & think.

[libertyvidz]

@bnmc07 And so simply "not being Bush" is enough for a peace prize? Obama breaks his promise on ending the war in Iraq, accelerates the war in Afghanistan, and now threatens China with nuclear subs and he somehow deserves a peace prize? Bush did screw up the economy. But the dems in control of congress certainly helped with all of the money they threw at Fannie Mae to make crap loans. Bush was wrong on the bailout as was Obama. They both sucked.

[egrimnes]

ummmm.... GWB wasn't running for President. And opposition to failed policy wasn't down played except on FOX. And when the anti-Bush crowd reached over 60% and his ratings went below 28% she had every right as a journalist to point out where the GOP was and still is flawed.

[DrRobertJAsten]

Nah, several personalities on FOX talked about Bush's shortcomings quite regularly. I hardly think Maddow considers herself as a journalist, but if she did, then she would have been better served discussing the shortcomings of both sides, rather than using misconceptions about the Right and downplaying the actions of the Left...

[travi360]

but she has discussed many things she believed obama has done wrong since he has taken office.

[DrRobertJAsten]

So has Olbermann, but that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about how she believes that the Right's criticism of Obama is illegitimate, as evidenced in this clip.

[hotae333]

lets face it the dictaters wanted g.w. bush to get it for w.m.d. and fake wars around the world

[StinkingHombre]

W didn't help dictators, he took them out! Obama is the one helping to install a dictator in Honduras. Get your facts straight!

[BrinkmanTraining]

Do people really believe these programs represent Rachel's own thoughts and words? She works for a corporate new conglomerate,, so, no disrespect to Rachel but... "you go corporate ceo's, you go guys and girls at MSNBC". yeah!

[specterseal999]

This video Should be watch by every American. God bless you Rachel!!

[CaseyParker]

you go girl! Rachel is the best! Thank you for opening people's eyes

[AzuraVonDorian]

Thank you for speaking the common sense that quite a bit of this country is missing.

[rumbledoggie]

Extraordinary. What a well-reasoned point-of-view. I want to remember her parting thought.

[Gungrand]

It's as if everyone forgot that yasser arafat won the award.

[redd4poetry]

Worth watching!

[1001608]

I hope you all will take time to watch this.

[tuber809]

Rachel cuddo's to your momma she raised a very wise and intelligent young lady, I am a person who gives credit where credit is due. Yes, President Obama really deserved this! Praise the Lord, for good people like you who recognize this also. Thank you sooo much.

[angelo908638]

Rachel meadow..The only talk show host who talk some sense.

[qwicksilfer]

i see her point, and i think that he's done some good stuff, but indeterminate detention is still a reality... this is almost as bad as when al gore won the nobel peace prize.

[amirbatna]

Oopsie. I just fell in love with that woman.
