1) The American military has done more for humanity than any other force.
2) John McCain has a son serving in the military
3) Sarah Palin has a son serving in the military
4) Jimmy Carter sent his children to public schools (BO says not for his kids...elitist)

And rahm emanuel is better than Dick Cheney? How did we all feel on 9/11? Who knew what would happen next.
As for BO, at least GW had respect for freedom of speach and said so on many occasions when asked about the news media viscerating him (especially msnbc...).

And now you tell people to shut up? I guess that falls in line with Mao...are you going to start to kill the rest of us because you don't like our view point? So the people advocating tolerance are the least tolerant of all...

Can we all at least have a decent conversation without getting so divisive? BO advocated that. Let's be open minded. Present the arguments that the Cheney family is horrible, that would really help your argument and may convince others.

My goodness, you both have terrible grammar.
Honestly, you have to logically admit this, did Obama deserve the Nobel Peace Prize? No. Not yet, anyways, who knows, he could bring a peaceful end to war eventually. If he does something to deserve it, sure, give it to him. But what the hell has he done?
Ragging on Cheney is not the way to get out your obvious disdain for the Republican Party and/or the Bush administration. You just come across as a bit spiteful. I think too many people placed all of the world's problems on Bush, who didn't make the best decisions all the time but wasn't "El Diablo," my goodness.
I was never for the war in the first place, but now that we're in we can't just pull out. The people in the Middle East still need aid stabilizing government, and Iran has just proven that they have nuclear weapon capability. Or do you think they're just going to have a big fireworks show?
Liz Cheney should probably have stopped after her first sentence. Who I think should have won the Nobel Peace Prize is someone working towards peace nonviolently, who is an example to everyone that you can't fight fire with fire and expect no innocent lives to be taken. Not someone who has only made promises he has yet to keep.
Peace, love, and rock n' roll.

That's from 1984, isn't it? The Bush years were kinda like an Orwellian nightmare where War meant Peace and the nightmare continues as the radio loudmouths tell people to think that an African-American is a racist

True, the prize was "diminished" the year Kissinger won it.

But I wouldn't call it a "farce". Flawed, yes, but an Ideal that sometimes inspires:

1989 - The 14th Dalai Lama
1991 - Aung San Suu Kyi
1993 - Nelson Mandela
1997 - International Campaign to Ban Landmines, Jody Williams
2001 - United Nations, Kofi Annan
2003 - Shirin Ebadi
2006 - Muhammad Yunus, Grameen Bank
2007 - Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, Al Gore

In a world of NBA Championships and Baseball World Series, it is good to shine the spotlight on some of these good people and organizations once a year.

To think that Cheney is continuing his legacy through this wreck! Listen here Liz - The WORLD detests your Neo-Con agenda! Peace is not the same as WAR! Defend your position if you must but you look and sound like a buffoon! Please media, leave this lady on the sidelines where she belongs!

"Frankly, to send the message to remind the Nobel committee that each one of them sleeps soundly at night because the US armed forces, because the US military is the greatest peacekeeping force in the world today."

The whole family is insane !

Really, Cheney? Then why not treat them as the gold they are by providing for their care and well being, as opposed to using them to further your twisted goals for your neocon friends?

Funny that LIz Cheney should discuss and suggest a fallen soldiers family member should receive the Nobel Prize for peace when you consider that her father, Dick prefers war over peace.

Dick Cheney who refused to do his duty and go to Vietnam but chose repeatedly to get deferments to keep himself out of harms way. LIke his good buddy Bush these two frightened little rabbits saw that their family connecitons and money kept them at home sending others in their stead to die..

Along with DIck Cheney, his daughter chooses to live in a make beleive world. Just rewrite the facts to suit the madness of what is the Cheney brain.

Our president, if he hasn't already, will earn the peace prize.

The real question is not whether Obama deserved the "Prize" but rather why is Lynne Cheney and the rest of these clowns putting America down for this achievement? If these cynics are so ashamed of having an American President so honored, let them lodge a formal protest with the committee and nominate W and/or his death-dealing VP. The truth is that if there was a prize for "the world's greatest promoter of preemptive war and displaced aggression," Daddy Cheney would take top honors. Now that would be something all of us could be proud of. Cheney could then accept the prize during his next hunting trip and cap the festivities off by shooting his loud mouthed daughter.

Why is this woman getting face time? I mean, seriously.

Her father didn't care two licks about the military . . . for her to push a phony talking point that she DOESN'T EVEN MEAN is disgusting and disrespectful to the military.

Yeah what about Cindy Sheehan? She is actually against the war.

Obama wants to Surge in Afghanistan ie expand the war. How can Obama get a Peace prize for expanding a war when Sheehan who has been against it through two administrations is passed over.

Compare this twit with her sister. Then tell me that there is something wrong with lesbians.

Someone suggested that Darth Cheney be clothed in asbestos long johns for protection in the afterlife. The gods are coming after this twit, too. "Those whom the gods want to destroy, they first make crazy."

Liz Cheney: Peace Prize should be dedicated to US military...that my father and his cocriminals sent to die for a lie...

Absolutely true, mrneutron-- but presenting the Peace Prize to such a vile warmonger as Kissinger still diminished the award. That said, Liz Cheney should be spending her time writing letters to her souless father in jail instead of airing her warped views on TV. That the entire lot of them aren't in prison leaves a hole in the balance of the universe.

Obama should donate the money to TheRealNews.com, so they can get on cable and show people what REAL journalism looks like.

The more people that begin to realize FOX Noise , with people like Liz Cheney, Chris Wallace and Bill Kristol, is Wingnut propaganda that only gets into their living rooms because billionaires like Murdoch WANT that information drilled into gullible Americans, the better for America.

Don't be so hard on the Nobel Peace Prize.

In 1973, when it was awarded to Kissinger and Le Duc Tho of Vietnam, two members of the five member Nobel Committee resigned in protest, and Le Duc Tho DECLINED the Prize, refusing to go accept it in Norway, because there was still no peace in his country.

Of course, Kissinger went to get his medal and money, because he was all about advancing the career of Henry A. Kissinger, no matter who gets killed...

I'm surprised she didn't want Jack Bauer to accept the award on behalf of the American Torturer, who has made us safe and guarded our liberties

Yeah, right, Norway is safe from Iraqi Improvised Explosive Devices on their highways because the Americans illegally invaded the oil-rich Middle East country.

Dick must have passed along his "naturally hallucinating" gene to his daughter.
Dick Cheney, the man who claimed, during President Ford's administration, that the fact that we couldn't detect 'advanced, super submarines' from the Soviet Union proved they existed, because he expected them to be undetectable.

Too bad the Nobel Committee couldn't see his "brilliance" in Starting Wars for Peace.

So Barack Obama doesn't deserve the Nobel Peace Prize even though countries are discussing decreasing nuclear weapons...while she thinks we were kept safe and gained information via torture under dick cheney ? Her assumptions are completely opposite and obviously wrong. We were attacked under cheney's rule and it has been shown that info was gained before torture was administered. Liz Cheney is a lying, history revising, unpatriotic.witch

Since when did Norway or any other country even ask the US army to invade any other country, this women is so up her daddy's ass that she doesn't realize how much no one believes this patriotic BS anymore and how it was a lie.
