Sean Hannity on Nobel Peace Prize: ‘Frankly, I would’ve given it to George Bush.’
Sean Hannity on Nobel Peace Prize: ‘Frankly, I would’ve given it to George Bush.’
Last night, Fox News host Sean Hannity hosted a panel that debated the merits of President Barack Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize. After complaining about Obama’s goal of eliminating nuclear weapons and claiming that the Nobel is undesirable because Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat receieved it, Hannity suggested an alternative recipient for the award — former President George W. Bush:
HANNITY: [Yasser Arafat] got the Nobel peace prize. Excuse me, a terrorist got the Nobel peace prize. Some people deservedly so. You know who else deserved it? Ronald Reagan. And frankly, I would’ve given it to George Bush.
Watch it:
As many commentators have noted, the Nobel Prize appears to have been motivated in part by anti-Bush sentiment, which makes Hannity’s suggestion particularly absurd. After all, George W. Bush engaged in the torture of detainees, waged an unprovoked and illegal war, and brought about the largest protests in history against U.S. policies — hardly behavior that is fitting for a Nobel Peace Prize.

Hi Murphi:
October 14th, 2009 at 5:05 pmWhy you no talk to me? Scared are you?
From the headline:
I would only go along with that if they were stuffing it up his a$$.
October 14th, 2009 at 5:05 pm“frankly, I would’ve given it to George Bush.”
No shit, Seanie. You really didn’t have to tell us; you’re as predicable as the tides.
The thing is, you’re also an idiot.
October 14th, 2009 at 5:06 pmreagan support terrorists many die at hands of terrorists… terrorism bad. reagan bad
October 14th, 2009 at 5:06 pmHannity’s just jealous because the prize is taller than he is.
Has more brains, too.
October 14th, 2009 at 5:06 pmSee that a start. Now you explain how so…
October 14th, 2009 at 5:07 pmHang a gold medal on Bush. Cut me a piece of that!
October 14th, 2009 at 5:07 pmI really hope the GOP is still singing Bush’s praises in 2012. I keep worrying that between now and then they will get some sense and start tossing that millstone. If 2012 comes around and they are still praising Bush, Cheney, and Rush this election will go the same way the last one did – with Obama being the winner.
October 14th, 2009 at 5:08 pmdbadass, I tend to think this Murphis character isn’t worth your time or mine.
It’s a very limited character, with no emotional range or capacity to surprise. I mean, once you get past the relentless misspellings and the John Wayne-movie-Indian dialogue, what is there?
Nada.
I say Ignore the little scamp.
October 14th, 2009 at 5:09 pmSo, in the context of that conversation, is he saying George Bush and Ronald Reagan were terrorists too?
October 14th, 2009 at 5:10 pmFrankly, that’s why you’re not on the Nobel prize committee.
October 14th, 2009 at 5:10 pmKKKlownnity
We are talking about a Nobel Prize, here.
We don’t want to hear about your an al virginity.
October 14th, 2009 at 5:12 pmYour comparison between Murphis and a “John Wayne movie Indian dialogue” is good, but he reminds me more of an half-orc from some online fantasy role playing game.

October 14th, 2009 at 5:14 pmYou are correct that the face of Murphis goes beyond weak but remember my interest has always been in how motivations are manifested in behaviors. What do you think motivates Murphis?
Sean, this is why you are an overpaid cheerleader and not on the Nobel Committee.
October 14th, 2009 at 5:14 pmI guess that’s why the subsequently-announced prizes in medicine and economics went to Americans also, hm?
October 14th, 2009 at 5:14 pmI think the hullabaloo even took the committee by surprise. In their recently released ‘explanation’:
Jagland singled out Obama’s efforts to heal the divide between the West and the Muslim world and scale down a Bush-era proposal for an anti-missile shield in Europe.
“All these things have contributed to _ I wouldn’t say a safer world _ but a world with less tension,” he said.
Years ago I’d heard that someone had nominated Bush for the award and I went out of my way to email anyone and everyone on the committee to tell them how way off base that nomination was. I signed off each email with:
‘Feeling less safe than ever with Bush as president,’
I wonder if they gave Obama the award now to head off the critics and avoid the organized opposition that would surely have materialized if word had gotten out about Obama’s nomination?
October 14th, 2009 at 5:15 pmMurphis is just a parody troll. No one can really be that stupid in real life, can they?
October 14th, 2009 at 5:15 pmWhat do you think motivates Murphis?
I think he has a man crush on Alex Karras and watched Blazing Saddles too much.
October 14th, 2009 at 5:15 pmThey hated us long before George Bush I or II took the oath of office.
October 14th, 2009 at 5:16 pm—
Who are they? That reagan guy claimed we were some new age urban center at higher elevation and that everybody thought it so. What gives? Was he full of shit as well as a terrorist lover?
Frankly, I think they gave it to Obama because he is NOT George Bush. But if GB were to have it, the name would have to be changed to
THE NOBEL WARMONGER PRIZE.
There, fixed it for ya.
October 14th, 2009 at 5:17 pm“Sean Hannity on Nobel Peace Prize: ‘Frankly, I would’ve given it to George Bush.’”

“You’re not a real American unless the world hates you”
October 14th, 2009 at 5:19 pmdbadass, I admire your commitment to research the absurdities of the human condition as expressed in anonymous blog postings.
My assessment of Murphis is that he is the creation of a really bored troll who has decided to deal with his boredom by testing the boundaries of minimalism.
While one can’t help but admire the way this executes the concept of “form follows function” — i. e., minimally coherent material might best be expressed by a minimalist approach — still, I have to figure there are better uses of my blogging time.
It feels to me like criticizing the Sunday morning “Cathy” cartoon. I mean, jeez, talk about low-hanging fruit.
October 14th, 2009 at 5:19 pmI can almost see little Sean’s logic. It is the Peace prize and the world would be very peaceful if everybody was dead.
Makes sense, in a twisted Republican sort of way.
October 14th, 2009 at 5:20 pmiRi, the idea that they gave the US President the Nobel Peace Prize becasue they hate the US, is probably the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard.
You are the one who hates our country, not the Nobel committee.
October 14th, 2009 at 5:20 pmI’m tired of this putz stealing my best jokes!
October 14th, 2009 at 5:20 pmThat’s as good an explanation as any I’ve seen.
October 14th, 2009 at 5:20 pmHannity is a dull boy. He appeals to anti-intellectuals and people who can not even grasp simple concepts like their own best interest. I’m sure he would award the Nobel prize to some evil entity! Unfortunately for him he’s not that relevant and never will be. If I didn’t read TP or watch Kieth Olberman and others on MSNBC I would have no idea who he is. I think he would be surprised at how many people barely know who he is. People on TV often assume that everyone knows who they are. Sean Hannity? You mean that dull BOY on Faux?
October 14th, 2009 at 5:21 pmRalph, maybe we should suggest he watch Victor Victoria for his next lesson?
October 14th, 2009 at 5:22 pmLevi, that’s the conclusion I’ve reached, too.
October 14th, 2009 at 5:22 pmShe-Yawn ; it’s the Nobel PEACE Prize , not the Nobel Piece Of Shit Prize ……………
October 14th, 2009 at 5:22 pmI’m sick of people like murphis the absurdist claiming Reagan won the cold war.
Gorbachev’s Perastroika ended the cold war, Reagan was just in office at the time.
As for him getting the peace price? Only if selling chemical weapons to dictators and trading arms with Islamic fundamentalists are criteria.
October 14th, 2009 at 5:22 pmIt must really suck to hate the world. How do these wretched people get out of bed in the morning?
October 14th, 2009 at 5:23 pmmy sister still has the “Thank you, President George W. Bush”

My opinion is that Morepiss is a half-educated (mid-school) rw moron trying to act stupid but attempting to deliver one-liner witticism, a la yoda. So that places him in his 40’s, white, overweight, unclean, pony-tailed, “real american”
October 14th, 2009 at 5:24 pmSean Hannity is feeling left out, what with Rush Limbaugh and Glen Beck getting all the attention lately. He is turning up the volume on the crazy to improve his ratings.
Anyone stupid enough to actually listen to this type of entertainment news is also probably stupid enough to actually believe Bush deserved a Nobel Peace Prize.
October 14th, 2009 at 5:25 pmI would have given it to Brownie.

…for remaining mercifully absent from public view since leaving office.
October 14th, 2009 at 5:29 pmA strong case could be made that the decline of the middle class really took hold with Reagan.
In President Clinton’s words:
Bill Clinton knew that in 1991, when he began his presidential campaign. “The Reagan-Bush years,” he declared, “have exalted private gain over public obligation, special interests over the common good, wealth and fame over work and family. The 1980s ushered in a Gilded Age of greed and selfishness, of irresponsibility and excess, and of neglect.”

October 14th, 2009 at 5:35 pm“Thank you, President George W. Bush”
We should all give thanks to Ex-President Bush, after all, he was President for eight years, he must have done something we can be grateful for.
Personally, I am grateful to Bush for sacrificing the lives of over four thousand American servicemen and woman to protect me from Saddam’s weapons of mass destruction. Oh wait, that’s right, Saddam didn’t have any weapons of mass destruction. Why did our boys die again?

Exactly. And Gorbachev DID win the Peace Prize.
October 14th, 2009 at 5:38 pmIf the aftermath wasn’t so painful, we could thank GW for bringing the true agenda of the Republican Party into the light. Without the egregious conduct of the past administration, we might not be aware today of how close we really came to having our country destroyed.

October 14th, 2009 at 5:40 pm“In recognition for his tireless work arming the regime of Saddam Hussein, his arms deals with Iranian terrorists and his extraordinary work sending arms to terrorists in Central America while allowing those terrorists to ship their cocaine back into the United States on government military transports, we award the 1988 Nobel Peace Prize to Ronald Reagan.”

October 14th, 2009 at 5:42 pmI’m sure Hannity would.
But again, I don’t have a whole lot of respect for Hannity’s opinion.

I think Mikey and the RNC have different plans. They were going to use Mt Trashmore to immortalize Ronnie, GW and his dad but I think it burned down so now they are checking mining sites where they have decapitated a mountain for their monument.
October 14th, 2009 at 5:49 pmEurope is dying? Wow. Has anyone told the poor Europeans?
October 14th, 2009 at 5:49 pmLet’s not forget that Ronald Reagan’s lack of leadership allowed the AIDS Epidemic to Mushroom into a World Wide Pandemic.

October 14th, 2009 at 5:54 pmA Nobel Prize for “Death Squad” Reagan. Quite an inspiration.
Reagan is being flayed forever in Hell, by the way.
A better argument for the Nobel could be made for GWB, inasmuch he inadvertently destroyed the Republican Party. I will always love the little guy for this.
But Hannity is guilty of false modesty. He’s a winger, don’t forget. He really thinks he should have gotten it. You can tell by the twitch of his nose.

October 14th, 2009 at 5:59 pm@ 2. Murphis says: reagen end the cold war not 1 shot fird, no peac prize? October 14th, 2009 at 5:02 pm
Wrong again. The Cold War didn’t end until, or after, the collapse of the Soviet Union, which occured in 1991, on George H.W. Bush’s watch. So if only the last President to face down the Soviets during the Cold War is the the only one to get credit, it’s Bush 41. I would think that many historians would credit every President from Truman through Bush 41. And given that we went to (more-or-less) full scale war in Korea and Vietnam, and had some nasty little skirmishes in other places where some of our guys and some of the other guys ended up dead, I don’t think you can say not one shot fired.
Granted, Reagan probably had fewer skirmishes on his watch than most Presidents, but a fair number of Americans got killed anyway. The biggest one was when the Marine Barracks in Beirut was bombed, after which the Sainted Ronnie decided that pulling the troops instead of whacking Hezbollah was the thing to do. Some people say that wasn’t connected to the Cold War, but don’t kid yourself about that; there were always proxy connections in Lebanon, Syria being the main proxy player on the Soviet side. The major proxy connections that Reagan played were the contras in Nicaragua and the rightist ‘death squad’ groups in El Salvador.
You should go read several 20th Century history books. Then read them again. Then talk with more people than the ideologues on the right about that history.
October 14th, 2009 at 5:59 pm“Sean Hannity on Nobel Peace Prize: ‘Frankly, I would’ve given it to George Bush.’”
Please… It’s been 5 days since the announcement of Obama’s Noble win. And Sponge Sean Square pants is still whining and bellyaching over Obama’s Noble win??? I have moved on from that bit a news, yet Fox News can’t seem to find real news and issues that matters in this country. If the mental midget and wannabe journalist wants to give the former clown President a medal, Bush deserves a war criminal medal. That medal is a fitting for Bush’s statement of “mission accomplished.”
October 14th, 2009 at 6:00 pmNettles: “It is, after all, America’s bases in Okinawa, in the Korean Peninsula, in Qatar, and in Eastern Europe that defend the ENTIRE western world.”

I understand now what the problem is for the birthers and the prizers and that pack of bitter enders on the right is.
Obama is that dreaded N word. He’s, … he’s secretly a Norwegian. Probably even a secret Norwegian secret agent of the secret Norwegian double agent variety. The Norwegians are just using the Peace Prize to get his secret Norwegian double agent payoff to him; that way he’ll be able to bribe a few Republipimps to vote his way (not that they’ll stay bought, mind you – there is always dishonor among thieves).

“Frankly, I would have given head to George Bush.” There, I fixed it.
October 14th, 2009 at 6:36 pm#74 is correct
American bases in Eastern Europe temper the influence of Russia and the professional agitator Putin.
Remove the bases in The Korean Peninsula and Okinawa? They may be dancing in the streets of Beijing and Seoul, but the massive over-night evacuation out of Tokyo would look a lot like Saigon ‘75. This is the very reason why Japan should be permitted to build nuclear weapons.
October 14th, 2009 at 6:42 pmLorne, why would Russia want to attack Europe when Europe is his best customer? Why would China attack Japan, when many of China’s factories make products bought in Japan?
I suggest you watch the great early 70’s film “Network” and pay special attention to actor Ned Beatty’s speech towards the end. It seemed a little over the top 35 years ago, but it’s truer now than it was then. We live in a 21st Century multinational corporate world. You’re still stuck in the 50’s. Get with it. World War on a massive scale is over.
October 14th, 2009 at 6:50 pmThis is the very reason why Japan should be permitted to build nuclear weapons
October 14th, 2009 at 6:54 pm– and Iran, Libya,and the DRC and everybody else…. Either these things are deterents or they aren’t….
Cheney-Bush deserves the Nobel War Prize…it’s available at The Hague and the judges there are ready to give it to them if the extradition details with the ICC can be worked out.
October 14th, 2009 at 7:02 pm“dbadass says:
This is the very reason why Japan should be permitted to build nuclear weapons
– and Iran, Libya,and the DRC and everybody else…. Either these things are deterents or they aren’t….”
No question, Cheney and Bush would never have invaded if the Iraqi’s had a viable theater nukes. They waited for the UN “all-clear” before proceeding with their conventional war/occupation. Obviously, a nuke-free world is desirable, but when a boy-king with parental issues gets selected in the country with the largest military war machine, I can understand why a country that is labeled an ‘evil-doer’ would consider this as a last line of defense.
October 14th, 2009 at 7:07 pmAh, yes, a peace prize for a man who started an illegal war killing 100s of thousands of innocent Iraqis & thousands of Americans, a man who threatened other countries with WWIII, a man who bullied allies with “you’re either with us or against us”— Hannity proves himself to be as delusional & as big a fool as ever.
October 14th, 2009 at 7:19 pmI have a bumper sticker that reads, “Thank me, George W. Bush”.

October 14th, 2009 at 9:05 pmWell it doesn’t matter what Hannity or GOP members think because they don’t make the decision of who gets the prize…so too f#$@ing bad if they don’t like it – that’s what they would tell you if you weren’t happy about it and they were.
If George Bush had deserved it he would have been awarded it, and he obviously he does not have, nor was ever even considered by the nobel board to receive the nobel peace prize…so that says something about his international status.
October 14th, 2009 at 9:31 pmWhat Hannity is saying is he thinks Bush’s policies killed too few people. He wants his blood cake and eat it too.
October 14th, 2009 at 9:46 pmIt never ceases to amaze me that these dummies don’t realize that the NPP Committee doesn’t have to consult them before making its’ decision, and that nothing they say will change the fact President Barack Hussein Obama is the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize winner
They are some arrogant, egotistical SOBs.
October 14th, 2009 at 9:48 pm“Sean Hannity on Nobel Peace Prize: ‘Frankly, I would’ve given it to George Bush.’”
…yeah, along with a bl0wjob and a shoeshine, right, Sean?
October 14th, 2009 at 10:04 pmGeorge W. Bush would probably confuse the words “Nobel” and “noble.”
Thank God that we now have a president who can actually articulate his own thoughts and speak intelligently.
George W. Bush is, at best, a symptom of a hideous disease rampant within the white-wing swamps and bogs of this nation.
October 14th, 2009 at 10:15 pmFrankly, Sean has never said anything frankly.
October 14th, 2009 at 10:18 pmHannity said “they gave it to a terrorist, Yasser Arafat.”
He forgot to mention (probably didn’t know) they also gave it to another terrorist.
Menachem Begin.
Who was a terrorist member of the Irgun as a young man, and was still wanted by the British for blowing up the King David Hotel and the hanging of two British soldiers.
One man’s terrorist is another man’s heroic “freedom fighter.”
October 14th, 2009 at 10:44 pmThe war monger Obama certainly doesn’t deserve the prize. Other than the fact THAT HE HAS DONE NOTHING TO DESERVE IT, Iraq troops have not yet been reduced and obama has actually increased troops in Afghanistan. Can anyone say war monger?
Er’ should it really be considered a prize anymore? Think about it. Al “global warning” Gore got the prize for telling us that the globe was warning all while the globe has been actually cooling over the last 10 years. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1658580/posts
Duh?

Actually, only non-deserving liberals get the prize. Jimmy ‘anti-semetic’ Carter, Al “global warming” Gore, Barack “Done Nothing” Obama.
The fact that Bush liberated 25 million Iraqi muslims from a tyranical leader would only have counted toward the award if he was a liberal democrat. The fact that he is republican gives liberals fodder to completely dismiss the good that he did for Iraqi’s who love freedom.
But, then again, liberals love tyrants. Chavez and Castro are your hero’s.

Obama is that dreaded N word. He’s, … he’s secretly a Norwegian. Probably even a secret Norwegian secret agent of the secret Norwegian double agent variety. The Norwegians are just using the Peace Prize to get his secret Norwegian double agent payoff to him; that way he’ll be able to bribe a few Republipimps to vote his way (not that they’ll stay bought, mind you – there is always dishonor among thieves).
Oh man, that reminds me of the hilarious Wyatt Cenac clip from TDS where he’s exposing the “evils” of socialism by going to Sweden to show how horrible life is there. :D

I still crack up over him randomly yelling in the middle of the street “Wake up people! Don’t you know you’re living in a socialist nightmare?!?”

I don’t think the Nobel Board recognizes or considers the United States’ labels of political affiliation of a person when determining the qualities that make them worthy of the Nobel peace prize.
Additionally….
“Liberating” 25million Iraqi Muslims at the cost of completely destroying and disrupting the lives of most of those people, causing them to go without electricity or water and live in an urban warfare environment for upwards of 6 years and concurrently racially profiling those Muslim citizens in your own country as terrorist sympathizers, while being the commander in chief of armed forces who’s soldiers are allowed to humiliate, torture, dehumanize and rape pow’s and detainees, while also illegally wire tapping his own citizen’s phone calls against the constitution, failing to put a stop to the Al Qaida terrorist organization ring by diverting resources to an unprovoked war in another country and allowing unchecked corrupt business practices which practically brought down the entire world economy hardly aligns a person with creating a more peaceful world environment.

LOL! Ironic considering that “Conservatives” propped up Saddam Hussein and funded Osama calling him a “freedom fighter” while he was fighting the “commies”! ;)
Project much – fascist extremist? ;)

LOL! You Nazis sure are full of “hate” and “bile” while wanting to be known for “peace”. All of those “Democrats” have done more than “war mongering” bush even if they “did nothing” as you claim! ;)

LOL! A leader that you “Republicans” put into office to fight the commies because he was a right win fascist? LOL! Have you heard? Most Iraqis say they are “worse off” today than under Saddam. So much for “liberation” on the round – huh? Guess that’s what happens when a “Fascist” liberates you? Much like when hitler “Liberated” france? ;)

Funny, that’s NOT why they “AWARDED” Obama the “PRIZE”

October 15th, 2009 at 6:27 amR 63
Ok you have proven it not only are you stupider than any human has a right to be you are brainwashed beyond belief. Your Raygun worship is just sad. He was a terrible president. He screwed the economy over. He promoted terrorism and death squads in Central America at the price of about 200,000 deaths. Only the stupidest people on the planet still worship the MORON. My GOD you are ignorant beyond belief

October 15th, 2009 at 6:34 amFrankly I don’t give a damn what Insannity thinks. F him!!!
October 15th, 2009 at 6:56 amAs usual, Hannity contradicts himself . .
If the Nobel Peace Prize is so UNdesirable, WHY does Hannity think Bush should have been the receipient??
Duh . .
October 15th, 2009 at 12:49 pmWrong you are “insanity.”
You must have forgotten, Dumbya wanted to play “wartime” President.
Cuz without such playtime, his agenda was about as full as the Grand Canyon.
October 15th, 2009 at 2:36 pmWell of course you would, Sean, you’re a stupid mean-spirited little right-wing partisan hack.
October 15th, 2009 at 3:16 pmPour pour Murpis
October 15th, 2009 at 4:41 pmHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA….because nobody represents peace more then George W. Bush and his infamous quote “Money trumps peace” Hannity really needs to step away from the crack pipe.
October 16th, 2009 at 11:03 amIt’s a good thing that the words of Hip Hop Stars are seen as “inferior” to those of White Conservative media personalities. estetik
