Conservatives' Classless Reactions to Nobel Announcement

Hey, guess who won a Nobel Peace Prize today?

Voice of America:

Reaction from around the world has one of surprise following the announcement that U.S. President Barack Obama is the winner of this year's Nobel Peace Prize.

The choice of President Barack Obama as the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize came as a shock in Oslo, Norway where the announcement was made.

Around the world, messages of congratulations began to pour in -- from Nobel Laureates Mikhail Gorbachev and Wangari Mathaii, who've both won the Peace Prize.

"Here in Jerusalem, the bells will ring again with a new hope. and a feeling that there is a lord in heaven and believer on Earth and both of us can act together to move properly and determinedly, to provide a new reality," said Israeli President Shimon Peres. "Mr. President, I congratulate you from the depth of my heart. We are proud and we are proud about you."

"I wish to congratulate President Obama, I think he is a deserving candidate, I can not determine how people arrive at those conclusions and for me he is an extraordinary example," said Zimbabwean Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai.

Pride in American achievement was not shared here at home, as the Republican National Committee continues its policy of hating the president for everything and anything. "The real question Americans are asking is, 'What has President Obama actually accomplished?'" the RNC said in a statement after the announcement. "It is unfortunate that the president's star power has outshined tireless advocates who have made real achievements working towards peace and human rights. One thing is certain -- President Obama won't be receiving any awards from Americans for job creation, fiscal responsibility, or backing up rhetoric with concrete action."

"This fully exposes the illusion that is Barack Obama," said Rush Limbaugh. "And with this 'award' the elites of the world are urging Obama, THE MAN OF PEACE, to not do the surge in Afghanistan, not take action against Iran and its nuclear program and to basically continue his intentions to emasculate the United States... They love a weakened, neutered U.S and this is their way of promoting that concept. I think God has a great sense of humor, too."

"I did not realize the Nobel Peace Prize had an affirmative action quota," wrote RedState.com's Erick Erickson, "but that is the only thing I can think of for this news."

What would a list of conservative reactions be without a racist dig?

You stay classy, GOP.
