Conservative Reaction To Gore's Win

The conservative talking points against Al Gore's Nobel Peace Prize win. New York Sun columnist Seth Gitell states that General David Petraeus should have won the Nobel Peace Prize. He is parroting the line started by Rush Limbaugh.

Charles Krauthammer compares Gore's win to Yasir Arafat's.

"Let's remember what the prize is about. Al Gore now joins Yasir Afafat. The father of modern terrorism.

We won't even get into Krauthammer winning a Pultizer Prize. He does a good enough job destroying his own credibility.

Iraqis were given their freedom, and yet many have chosen civil war. Among all these religious prejudices, ancient wounds, social resentments and tribal antagonisms, who gets the blame for the rivers of blood? You can always count on some to find the blame in America. "We did not give them a republic," insists Newsweek's Fareed Zakaria. "We gave them a civil war."

Krauthammer has an interesting concept of freedom. The Iraqi government doesn't even have the power to remove Blackwater.
