Perhaps Rush Limbaugh is so upset about Al Gore winning the Nobel Peace Prize since he was also nominated for the award, as I reported in in February. The nomination was made by the Landmark Legal Foundation according to Landmark President Mark Levin for his for his “nearly two decades of tireless efforts to promote liberty, equality and opportunity for all humankind, regardless of race, creed, economic stratum or national origin.”
It’s hard to imagine anyone saying the above with a straight face about Limbaugh. Pensito Review believes that Limbaugh was behind his own nomination:
For starters, it appears that Limbaugh de facto nominated himself. The nomination went out under the letterhead of “his lawyers” at the Landmark foundation, a rightwing nonprofit for which Limbaugh is an unpaid adviser. (Landmark’s donors include relatives of Richard Melon Scaife, the Pittsburgh heir and newspaper publisher who funded the Arkansas Project, a smear campaign against the Cli
Norwegian Nobel Committee Tries To Dodge CriticismAward Had Nothing To Do With Peace...Regarding Al Gore winning the Nobel Peace Prize...Note: According to Wikipedia, The Nobel Prizes (Swedish: Nobelprisen), as designated in Alfred Nobel's will in 1895, are awarded for physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature, and peace. A prize in economics in memory of Nobel was instituted by Sweden's central bank in 1968. They are widely regarded as the most prestigious award one can receive in those fields of research, although the peace prize is also viewed as being politically motivated.The Norwegian Nobel Committee had to dodge some criticism both at home and from afar over the weekend, after it awarded this year's Nobel Peace Prize to former US Vice President Al Gore and the UN's panel on climate change.Janne Haaland Matlary, a professor of political science and former State Secretary for Foreign Affairs specializing in security and defense, told newspaper Aftenposten that she

Those who read intensively the news provided by the BLOGVASION can easily notice that there is no news without forthcoming consequences and continuations. News covered previously: Global Warming Effects and ways of informing Society is supported and enforced by the factual evidence. The Norwegian Nobel Committee announced that Al Gore and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) are the joint winners of this year's Nobel Peace Prize. The reason to which is increased interest and efforts to solve the problem of Global Warming by informing and educating society emphasizing the seriousness and importance of the problem resolution.The committee says: "Al Gore has for a long time been one of the world's leading environmentalist politicians. His strong commitment, reflected in political activity, lectures, films and books, has strengthened the struggle against climate change. He is probably the single individual who has done most to create greater worldwide understanding of the
l Gore and the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on climate change just won the Nobel Al Gore has many admirers and critics, but on Friday the spotlight was on him again as the Nobel Peace Prize committee showered him with praise for his work promoting climate awareness and climate research.The Nobel Peace Prize was not the first award received by Al Gore, 59, for his environmental work, but it was certainly the largest. Al Gore had previously won an Oscar for his documentary An Inconvenient Truth, which was a surprising box office hit.Gore shares the Peace Prize with the United Nations' International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), found in 1988, which is widely considered by scientists and governments worldwide as the top authority on global warming and climate change.The IPCC has over 2,000 leading climate change scientists and experts that conduct research into climate change and collate data and information from research papers of thousands of other scientists w
The left just act like such a bunch of spoiled kids. And they wonder why we treat them that way. Plus this just proves my belief that the Nobel peace Prize is all about feel good politics rather than actually doing something for 'peace'. I mean come on, someone PLEASE tell me exactly what AlGore has done for peace??? ~RJH Riehl World View article link Can You Imagine Sorry to have to link this latest think pogrom silliness to make a point. Earlier today, after Al Gore was named a co-winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, Fox News kicked off the right-wing smear attacks on the former Vice President, comparing him to Yasser Arafat and that crazy Jimmy Carter. Aside from it being a perfectly insightful comment from whomever, TP, Media Matters et al are so over-doing this nonsense, they're all but marginalizing themselves. Aside from that, it represents a bunch of died in the wool libruls who spend every waking minute listening and watching things they obviously just don't like very m
The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided that the Nobel Peace Prize for 2007 is to be shared, in two equal parts, between the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and Albert Arnold (Al) Gore Jr. for their efforts to build up and disseminate greater knowledge about man-made climate change.read more | digg story

Earth-centred news for the health of air, water, habitat and the fight against global warming
The 2007 Nobel Peace Prize has been attributed to both Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and Al Gore today.
"For their efforts to build up and disseminate greater knowledge about man-made climate change, and to lay the foundations for the measures that are needed to counteract such change" said the spokesman of the Nobel Institute.
It's a good news and I hope it could make some changes in lots of not convinced minds all around the world.
As widely predicted, Al Gore has added the Nobel Peace Prize to his Oscar and Emmy Awards.
Former vice president Al Gore and a United Nations panel that monitors climate change were jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize today for their work educating the world about global warming and pressing for political action to control it.
The Norwegian Nobel Committee characterized Gore as “the single individual who has done most” to convince world governments and leaders that climate change is real, is caused by human activity and poses a grave threat. Gore has focused on the issue through books, promotional events and his Academy Award-winning documentary, “An Inconvenient Truth.”
Gore joins other Americans who have won the prize, both as political leaders and for advocacy work:
Gore joins a short list of other senior U.S. political figures to be honored with the peace prize, including former president Jimmy Carter in 2002; then-Secretary of State Henry Kissinger in 197
Today it was announced that the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize was jointly awarded to The UN’s International Governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) jointly with Al Gore, former Vice President of the United States under Bill Clinton. This is the very same Al Gore who should have become the forty-third president of the US, had it not been for the disastrously bad partisan (5-4) vote by the Supreme Court in its 2000 decision to anoint the Presidency to whom historians now call “ The worst President in US history, George Walker Bush.
According to BBC News, “By choosing Al Gore and the IPCC for the award in 2007, the Nobel Committee have rightly brought to our attention that climate change is the single biggest threat to world peace we have ever faced.”
Mr. Gore has been a champion for bringing awareness of climate change with his 2006 Oscar-winning documentary, “An Inconvenient Truth”, and numerous books over the years on the the importance of ecology.
The IPCC, a UN body whic
Out of 181 candidates ex-presidential candidate Al Gore and the U.N. Climate Panel both are to share 1.5 million in prize money for winning the Nobel Peace Prize today.
Al Gore, 59, who was behind the documentary, The Inconvenient Truth, pretty much single handedly has brought massive attention and awareness to climate change, global warming, and green living.
Gore will go down in history as the founder of the green movement and now with wining a Nobel Peace Prize, he will be forever synonymous with climate change and progress. It is also worthwhile to note that he states he is going to be giving away a share of the 1.5 million dollar prize to an environmental org, the Alliance for Climate Protection.

The Landmark Legal Foundation nominated radio host Rush Limbaugh for the 2007 Nobel peace prize. President of the foundation and radio show host Mark Levin states:"Everyday he gives voice to the valuesof democratic governance, individual opportunity and the just, equalapplication of the rule of law -- and it is fitting that the NobelCommittee recognize the power of these ideals to build a truly peacefulworld for future generations."This nomination was announced on the same day ( yesterday ) Al Gore was nominated for his efforts for climate change.Now liberals are going to all of a sudden get all moral and self-righteous and say that the Nobel peace Prize shouldn't be given to drug addicts.Okay, I'll buy that. Just as soon as you libs set the same standards to former President Jimmy Carter.
