Comment by Snowcone on 10/10 @ 10:44 am #
It’s ironic that a peace prize highlights the hatred that is destroying the American Right.
Comment by Darleen on 10/10 @ 10:47 am #
Hatred? Oh snotty, Barry’s acceptance of a prize he admits he doesn’t deserve is Comedy GOLD!! The photoshops are rolling in and this is may surpass Lewinsky/cigar jokes!

Obama wins everything!

Comment by cranky-d on 10/10 @ 10:51 am #
I tried to comment and it apparently did not show up. All it said was, “Perfect!”
BTW, I turned off the hammer to see which jackhole troll had showed up, and of course it was snotcone.
There is no hatred, fool. You hated Bush, of course, but I don’t hate Obama. I simply think that his vision for America is wrong, and will oppose it as much as I can. That is not hate.
What you see in that photoshop is called “making fun of people.” It makes fun of the Obama worshippers who have lead us to this point, and it makes fun of Obama himself for being such a narcissistic fool.
Comment by Joe on 10/10 @ 10:52 am #
Snowcone (or thor, or whoever you are), my liberal friends who loves almost everything Obama are embarassed by this and think it was a mistake for him not to politely turn down the award.

“There is no hatred, fool. You hated Bush, of course, but I don’t hate Obama. I simply think that his vision for America is wrong, and will oppose it as much as I can. That is not hate.”
cranky-d, your truthful and fulsome explanation has been repeated here by many ad nauseam yet makes no dent on the assertion monkey whatsoever. Which is I guess, after all, the origin of SBP’s trollhammer in the first place.
Comment by cranky-d on 10/10 @ 11:10 am #
Yeah, I know sdferr. That’s why I normally leave trollhammer on. However, it was thor who really inspired SBP to write it, I think. It makes life in a truly open comment section much easier.
Comment by sdferr on 10/10 @ 11:13 am #
As to the history you are perfectly correct cranky-d though as to the idea underlying the need it looks like the same deal to me.

Don’t you just love rhetorical questions?
Comment by cranky-d on 10/10 @ 11:20 am #
If one were to read your two sentences in #6 closely, as I did, one might see that you mention “the assertion monkey” in the first sentence, clearly a reference to a singular troll (and clearly a reference to snotcone, the troll in question) rather than the trolls in the aggregate. The second sentence would then seem to mean that TrollHammer was written to remove said singular troll’s droppings from further view.
However, I agree that while a singular troll did inspire the writing of said cleansing tool, the underlying need remains even after the departure of said singular troll.
Comment by cranky-d on 10/10 @ 11:22 am #
Note that in paragraph two, I changed my referent as to which singular troll I was discussing. My apologies.

About a year to the next election.
Y’all ever gonna do anything besides wee-wee yourselves every time Obama has a triumph?
Comment by sdferr on 10/10 @ 11:28 am #
Though it’s a decidedly minor point cranky-d, over time I’ve referred to more than a few trolls as “assertion monkey” simply because they are. No restriction of identity is wanted where similitude goes.
Comment by SBP on 10/10 @ 11:30 am #

Maybe you should try asking Plastic Jesus that question,NippleNut.
Comment by Darleen on 10/10 @ 11:31 am #
snotty
when Obama has a “triumph” let me know. And if it is actually in AMERICA’s interest, I’ll applaud it.
Just as I applaud that he hasn’t closed Gitmo nor dismantled the Patriot Act provisions that helped foil Islamist attacks on America. Whether it was his tendency to dither or actually recognizing the value of Bush Admin policies I still say “THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT” on those issues.
I recognize, too, your fear of Palin. So much so you channel Barry’s un-teleprompter baby talk.
Comment by cranky-d on 10/10 @ 11:33 am #
I concede that indeed many trolls may have been referred to as “assertion monkey,” in this case it was “the assertion monkey” which apparently refers to a particular member of the set of assertion monkeys, in this case snowblow. The addition of an “s” to pluralize the referent might make the intended meaning clearer.
Comment by cranky-d on 10/10 @ 11:34 am #
All in good fun, of course, sdferr.
Comment by sdferr on 10/10 @ 11:37 am #
“All in good fun, of course…”
Absolutely and without question, cranky-d, though sticking up for the grammatical possibilities, I still think “the” can be used generically, even in the absence of a pluralizing “s”. Heh.

Winning a Nobel prize is a triumph, Darleen.
Having been raised right, Obama graciously said he didn’t deserve it.
And the folks who were also raised right politely congratulated him on his win, whether they thought he deserved it or not.
Comment by Darleen on 10/10 @ 12:05 pm #
Having been raised right, Obama graciously said he didn’t deserve it
and then belies his “graciousness” by accepting it anyway…including a plan to make a star turn on the runway in Oslo.
Shorter Obama: It IS always about me!
Comment by stuiec on 10/10 @ 12:07 pm #
One would have thought that President Obama might have said something non-self-referential, as in, “I must respectfully decline this award because it clearly should go to one of the many other nominees who have already accomplished so much toward the betterment of humankind.”
But then one wakes up.

Darleen,
I think the boorish Right should pick up a copy of Miss Manners if they’re really serious about getting America to forgive them.
If not, their trashy manners don’t really matter, do they?
Comment by donald on 10/10 @ 12:12 pm #
That’s goddamned funny there Snowcone, I dont’ care who you are.
Comment by cranky-d on 10/10 @ 12:17 pm #
Winning a Nobel prize in physics is a triumph worthy of recognition. Winning a Nobel Peace Prize is more like the leavings of Triumph, the insult-comic dog. Arafat has one. Carter has one. Al Gore has one. Enough said, I think.
Some who have won the NPP were worthy of the original intent of the award. O! is not, because he has done nothing to deserve it.

Obama: “I wiped my own ass using single-ply toilet tissue.”
Norwegians: “Here’s your prize!”

And as an example of the single-ply Obama uses, actual human beings. For peace.
Comment by Wm T Sherman on 10/10 @ 1:08 pm #
Say, in keeping with Pageant tradition, isn’t it about time for a portfolio of ill-advised nude photographs to surface?
Comment by stuiec on 10/10 @ 1:09 pm #
Since the Nobel Committee doesn’t officially divulge nominations for fifty years after the award year, we don’t know the full list of nominees. But a few of the names have surfaced, including Afghan human rights activist Sima Samar, expatriate Uighur peace activist Rebiya Kadeer, Chinese dissident Hu Jia, and Prime Minister of Zimbabwe Morgan Tsvangirai.
A truly self-aware and gracious Barack Obama would have declined the Peace Prize and highlighted the actual accomplishments of these and other nominees who are far more deserving. But what can you expect from a guy who won’t even let the Dalai Lama come to the White House because he’s more interested in paying political favors to the Chinese?
Comment by Salt Lick on 10/10 @ 1:12 pm #
And the folks who were also raised right politely congratulated him on his win, whether they thought he deserved it or not.
Folks who were raised right do not congratulate a man who’s been given a $1.4 million bribe to abandon their sons and daughters in Afghanistan — those people punch back twice as hard.

Winning a Nobel prize is a triumph, Darleen.
—————————————————————————
Let’s see, you’re supposed to get a Nobel Prize in recognition of a triumph.
The cone creature alleges that the triumph being recognized by the prize, is getting a Nobel Prize.
You know, if you wrote a defective loop like that into a computer program it would cycle endlessly and lock up the computer.
I remember somebody once defined celebrity as being someone who is famous for being well known.

Comment by dicentra on 10/10 @ 1:54 pm #
Great quote from Steyn (as per uszh): Obama’s priorities lie not in the Hindu Kush but in America: Why squander your presidency on trying to turn an economically moribund feudal backwater into a functioning nation state when you can turn a functioning nation state into an economically moribund feudal backwater?
Conie? If Obama turns us into an economically moribund feudal backwater, will that count as a triumph? Lots of folks on your side would say yes.

Comment by dicentra on 10/10 @ 2:19 pm #
Krauthammer pens another one of those seminal pieces that puts our options into terrible focus, “Decline Is a Choice“:
Emphases mine.
Please note Krauthammer’s judicious use of the term “hegemon,” which is the accurate term to describe our role on the world stage. (Conie, it means “dominant power or influence.”) “Empire” and “imperial” and all their derivatives are inaccurate descriptors, used to gin up outrage where none is warranted.
Comment by Danger on 10/10 @ 2:24 pm #
Thanks JD and SDN,
It is an honor to serve but its beginning to look like the rug will be pulled out from under the guys up in Afghanistan soon. Afterall, the President has an award to live up to now.

Christ. I think the resulting involuntary eye roll just tore my one of my retinas.
Oh Shut Up You Know Nothing Douchebag.
While I for one thought the above retort might be a little strong, it’s actually recommended & the title of Chapter 2 in Miss Manners: Answering the Progressive Left.
Chapter 3 is about how to openly fart in polite company.
You should re-read that chapter Snowcone.
Because you suck at it.
Comment by Matt on 10/10 @ 2:30 pm #
Saying Obama “won” anything is silly snowcone. Ignoring the fact the award has been won by a number of questionable candidates, Obama “won” after 11 days in office. If he had won it after 4 years, 8 years, whatever, I suspect we’d still mock the “win” but not for the same reason its being mocked today. Obama “won” this award for showing up and voting present.
Somebody (can’t remember who) put it best when they said Obama won for not being George Bush.
Comment by Ric Locke on 10/10 @ 2:33 pm #
Danger, my first thought upon hearing the news is that the folks in Iraq and Afghanistan should start reading up on what went on after the US pullout and abandonment of Viet Nam.
Lots o’killin. Of course, it wasn’t our guys doing it, so the Leftoids ignore it all in the interests of Compassion for Brown People.

I hear ya Ric,
The enemy is not going to be pacified by our demonstration of weakness. To the contrary they are certain to increase the level and frequency of their attacks.
Restrictive ROE, limited resources and a defensive mindset are going to leave our troops more vulnerable.
Why is the press; that crucified Secretary Rumsfeld for his “We go to war with the army we have…” comment, so silent now?
Comment by stuiec on 10/10 @ 2:50 pm #
Jeff Dunham just got a series on Comedy Central. That will do far, far more to rehabilitate the Right with American voters than any candy-ass etiquette lessons taught by David Brooks or David Frum.
I predict that next season, Comedy Central will come out with series mocking Obama in the same vein as Love That Bush and Li’l Bush. Probably along the lines of Obama as a superhero who shows up as the monster rampages through the city, says he’s looking into the problem seriously, and then gets a victory parade and a key to the city — just before the monster stomps the Mayor.

And the reporter shielded his eyes from the magnificence, and asked “Who are you, President? What is your name?”

Should have thought about that before you spent eight years screeching about Bush like a rabid monkey, NippleNut. You can’t give it up even now.
Even my lefty friends mostly agree that Teleprompter Jesus did nothing to deserve this award.

Election day wasn’t “three months ago”, NippleNut, and next election day isn’t going be “three months ago” either.
He got 52% to McCain’s 46%. A 3% shift would have meant a loss.

and most occasions in life do call for good manners. but there are also times when it is time to stop being polite. and the time for being polite about the Once! is over. and i never want this cheap chinese fucktoy to feel comfortable or at ease about selling off and selling out and destroying whatever he can of our little country. period.
i can be all polite. or i can be all mallory knox. how much of an asshat *you* are determines which one you get. and emperor teleprompter and his court of whores has forfeited their right to my politeness.

My stand on this “Peace Prize” business.
Whatever the award meant in the past it no longer means what it did. This is what the Left both has done and yet can’t understand. The real world defines what a word or phrase means, Nobel Peace Prize” or Harvard degree. Apply the word to a different or changed thing and the meaning or the word changes.
The thing defines the word. To the Snowcone’s, the word defines the thing. There will be peace because Obama won the “Peace Prize”. Cart before horse.
Louchette, thank you fore the links in the previous thread. Snowcone come across here much like a “Butthurt troll”. Just doesn’t have the lingo down, but the attitude is there.

I disagree Slarti
Arafat sets a precedent.
Obama can now add 40,000 troops to A-stan, hire Blackwater to fix Darfur, and green light Israel to destroy Hamas & Hezbollah.
He can pull an Arafat-Nobel on all of it. As long as he says one thing in English, and another in…uh, Austrian or, ya know, whatever.

Of course not. That would mean answer and explanation. An assertion monki-boy just asserts.
No reason. No fact. Just asserts.

Haha, if if and buts were cherrieas and nuts…
Besides, who do the conservatives have to run against Obama.
A bunch of freaks and nobodies?
I predict a Reagan-like landslide for Obama in 2012.

i had this really amazing english professor back in college. the first time i went. no, really. despite his being a derrida enamored pomo (non)homo. and once, like way back in the early 1980s, on an exam he asked as an extra credit question: if blake is to milton as the beatles are to the rolling stones, then what do you make of prince and michael jackson?
i never thought i could despise another president as much as i did carter. but now i comfort myself (cold comfort yes. but i’ll get what i get and like it =P) with the thought that it took a carter for people to flock to and elect a reagan.
see what i did there? =X

Yeah, she’s a “nobody”. No one likes her.

Prince = Vachel Lindsay. Michael Jackson = Helen Steiner Rice.

How does your Jackass ‘n Chief become Jimmy Carter Faster than Jimmy Carter became Jimmy Carter?
Does that rip space/time?
Can they figure that out in that CERN collider thingy?
Oh, I’m sorry…I interupted.
You were talking about a Reaganesque landslide?
Comment by SBP on 10/10 @ 5:59 pm #
Sure he would.
Compare 1/21 to now, NippleNut.
Hint #1: -3 is a lot less than +28.
Hint #2: 50-50 is much worse than 65-30.
But do keep placing your faith in 1-3% statistical fluctuations.
Obama’s in for 8.
You’re clinically insane.
Tell us again about the ONE! DAY! STORY!, NippleNut. That’s always good for a laugh.

*Obama’s in for 8.*
So Hillary won’t run against him ? Uh ok. If she does, she’s a lock for the nomination – the white guiltists in the country elected a black man for the sole purpose of electing a black man in 2008. Why in the hell would they be dumb enough to do it again when the aforementioned black man is failing as president ?
Comment by McGehee on 10/10 @ 6:35 pm #
So, how did you answer?
If I found that question on a test in my college days I might have tried to come up with something meaningful, but now I would brush off a question like that with, “There’s no accounting for taste.”
Comment by louchette, outlaw shufu on 10/10 @ 6:46 pm #
i aced the actual exam, knew i had, turned my blue book in, went to the park to chill, and and didn’t bother with bullshitting my way thru the extra credit question. i’m economical like that.

The past lives in each of us. The future is the dream or nightmare we make. The present is that infinitesimally thin slice where one changes into the other. Memory and dreams are the human condition. God’s gift that we alone can make a curse.

This is the kind of liberal type person I can disagree with and still respect. My best as well to those serving as well as those with kids who are serving. I live in Tampa, near MacDill AFB and I feel privileged to share my little part of town with our folks serving in the military. I love em, even when the C-130’s wake me up at 3 AM as they fly over =)

170. Thanks, Mel! I have no patience for aggressively stupid idiots who just fling verbal boogers and see where they stick ala shitcone. One-trick pony wind-up toy with a set list of three songs at best. He’s like going to see Iron Butterfly and hearing Inna Gadda Davita in its entirely back to back five times. Intellectual midget, smug douchebag, and spoiled little pile he is. Probably never faced any adversity in his existence – just sits on the comp that his mommy bought him and snits away. A truly meager specimen of a man – if it is XY indeed.
