Former Vice President Al Gore, who says he "used to be the next president of the United States," has won the Nobel Peace Prize for advancing scary half-truths, flat-out errors and politically inspired schemes about global warming. We congratulate Mr. Gore and hope it's some personal consolation.

Nevertheless, we're uninspired as Mr. Gore takes his place alongside Yasser Arafat and Kofi Annan, similarly honored with credentials of similar substance.

As for Mr. Gore's campaign to scare the dickens out of everyone on Earth, we're pleased to see reality catching up to his hype. The day before the prize was announced, an English judge had something to say about Mr. Gore's crowning achievement, his documentary film, An Inconvenient Truth, that claims because of global warming, "Humanity is sitting on a ticking time bomb." The judge said the movie has nine major errors. Now there's an inconvenient truth.

The errors "arise in the context of alarmism and exaggeration in support of (Mr. Gore's) political thesis," said High Court Judge Michael Burton. He ruled teachers must alert children to the errors.

The judge said Mr. Gore is wrong to claim global warming will cause sea levels to rise 20 feet and that increases in CO2 precede warming when they actually come afterward. Inconvenient truths don't stop there. The Competitive Enterprise Institute, a free market think tank, has compiled point-by-point refutations of Mr. Gore's hype and alarmism.

"Nearly every significant statement that Vice President Gore makes regarding climate science and climate policy is either one-sided, misleading, exaggerated, speculative or wrong," says CEI environmental policy expert Marlo Lewis. Otherwise, nice job Mr. Gore.

Orange county is as lost a place as any conservative can be. Read carefully the paper from there.

How can Al have a cool reception? I thought the planet was burning up?

Alfred Nobel felt so bad about how his invention, dynamite, was being used he endowed the Nobel Peace Prize and instructed that it go "to the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between the nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses."

Gore has done exactly zero of these things.

He is the second environmental activist to win the prize in the past four years. Wangari Muta Maathai got it in 2004 for planting trees.

To me, this is confirmation that the Nobel Peace Prize is no longer a serious award. In 1994 the five Norwegian politicians who award the prize gave it to Yasser Arafat, a terrorist. Two years before that they gave it to fraud Rigoberta Menchu, whose autobiography consisted largely of lies. (For example: The brother she allegedly watched die of malnutrition was later tracked down by a New York Times reporter and was very much alive and well.)

Two days before Gore was given the prize, a British judge ruled that Gore's film contained so many errors that it could be shown in British public schools only if a fact sheet correcting the errors was distributed.

There is no reason to take the Nobel prizeor it's recipients seriously these days.

How about he doesn't meet the criteria? It's a liberal popularity contest, plain and simple.

and what does that have to do with anything?

[truthmatters]

You hate Gore so you will refuse to see that the Peace Prize is about bringing people of the world together to benifit man. Gore has done this with his efforts and you just keep rearanging your hate for him to block the view of reality from yourself.

The world differs from you in most of what you chose to believe. Its not the worlds fault you only have yourself to blame.

So I'm right and the world is wrong. Wouldn't be the first time.

You dipshits just can't stand it that Gore won the Nobel Prize, can you?

You're doing eveything you can to try and diminish Gore's award. But you can't quite do it, can you? And you can do is demonstrate how small minded and petty you are.

And Rush Limbaugh, who some right-wing toady nominated for the same prize (Rush Limbaugh? Nobel Peace Prize? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA :laugh2::lol::dance::lol::laugh2:)....

Ol' Oxycontin Rush is just beside himself.

There seems to be an echo in here..

It's not just us here are underwhelmed with Gore winning..
Quite a few around the world are also....:coffee:

[Immanuel]

I'm tempted to offer 20-1 odds that George W. Bush wins the Nobel Peace Prize by 2012.

Tempted mind you... only tempted. ;)

That is how valuable I see the Prize. Basically, it seems to me to be for sale to the highest bidder.

I personally couldn't care less that Gore won the Peace Prize. My issue is less with that than it is with the selection committee and their process.

Without ending a war, without persuading one aggressor to lay down his weapons, without keeping the peace where it is threatened, Al Gore won the Nobel Peace Prize. Based on those standards, anyone of us could win it next year. Awarding it to Al Gore cannot be seen as anything other than a political statement, although awarding it to the IPCC may be justified.

No, I find it sad that the NPP committee ignores someone like Irena Sendler, a 96-year-old Polish woman who saved 2,500 Jewish children from death in the Warsaw ghetto during World War II and instead give thePeace Prize to Al Gore. Based on the criteria set down by Alfred Nobel in 1895, she was the better candidate.

Based on their criteria I should be nominated next year for my outstanding posting abilities on this message board.

Nobel Committee Bypassed Holocaust Savior for Al Gore
By Noel Sheppard | October 15, 2007 - 12:58 ET

As media do a victory lap over Friday's Nobel Peace Prize announcement, it seems a metaphysical certitude that few Americans are aware of the other 180 nominees for the award besides the Global Warmingist-in-Chief Al Gore.

For instance, meet Irena Sendler, a 97-year-old Polish woman who saved 2,500 Jewish children from certain death in the Warsaw ghetto during World War II.

Hadn't heard of her? Well, don't feel bad, for since the Nobel Committee announced the nominees in February, there have only been 107 reports about Mrs. Sendler being one of them. By contrast, Al Gore and "Nobel" have been mentioned in 2,912.

To put an even finer point on the astounding difference in media coverage, since the nominees were announced, Mrs. Sendler has been referred to in only six newscasts on television and radio, one by conservative Glenn Beck. Gore's Nobel nomination was discussed in 249!

With that in mind, here is Sendler's story - as presented by the Irena Sendler Project, the fabulous brainchild of some students in rural Kansas - which media have deplorably chosen to boycott in favor of championing a wealthy American liberal who made a movie containing egregious scientific falsehoods

Irena Sendler, born in 1910, was raised by her Catholic parents to respect and love people regardless of their ethnicity or social status. Her father, a physician, died from typhus that he contracted during an epidemic in 1917. He was the only doctor in his town near Warsaw who would treat the poor, mostly Jewish victims of this tragic disease. As he was dying, he told 7-year-old Irena, "If you see someone drowning you must try to rescue them, even if you cannot swim." In 1939 the Nazis swept through Poland and imprisoned the Jews in ghettos where they were first starved to death and then systematically murdered in killing camps. Irena, by than a social worker in Warsaw, saw the Jewish people drowning and resolved to do what she could to rescue as many as possible, especially the children. Working with a network of other social workers and brave Poles, mostly women, she smuggled 2,500 children out of the Warsaw ghetto and hid them safely until the end of the war. Sendler took great risks - obtaining forged papers for the children, disguising herself as an infection control nurse, diverting German occupation funds for the support of children in hiding. She entered the Warsaw ghetto, sometimes two and three times a day, and talked Jewish parents into giving up their children. Sendler drugged the babies with sedatives and smuggled them past Nazi guards in gunny sacks, boxes and coffins. She helped the older ones escape through the sewers, through secret openings in the wall, through the courthouse, through churches, any clever way she and her network could evade the Nazis. Once outside the ghetto walls, Sendler gave the children false names and documents and placed them in convents, orphanages and with Polish families. In 1942 the Polish underground organization ZEGOTA recruited her to lead their Children's Division, providing her with money and support. Her hope was that after the war she could reunite the children with surviving relatives, or at least return their Jewish identities. To that end she kept thin tissue paper lists of each child's Jewish name, their Polish name and address. She hid the precious lists in glass jars buried under an apple tree in the back yard of one of her co-conspirators. In 1943 Irena Sendler was arrested, tortured and sentenced to death by firing squad. She never divulged the location of the lists or her Polish underground contacts. At the last moment she was saved by ZEGOTA which bribed a guard to secure her freedom. She still bears the scars and disability of her torture.

God bless you, Irena. For all I know, you saved one of my relatives.
