TV Video and Audio BBC Broadcast: Obama and Nobel

You can download the full 50 minute podcast of the radio show through here. Look for the headline below. The lower YouTube video is the TV show.

09 Oct 09 Does President Obama deserve the Nobel Peace Prize?

The WHYS blog is here.

I've edited the radio broadcast down to about a 12+ minute clip. Keep in mind, I wasn't on for the first half hour. Listening to the full hour, if it's an indicator of how much of the world feels, is not real fun. But I would encourage you to listen to it all if you have the time. Most, but not all, sound like mouthpieces for the American Left. I'll find the TV show, as well. I was so tired of the Bush bashing from that, I spoke out more on that during the radio show. I doubt the slice of the world that heard me today that doesn't like Bush likes me very much now, either. To which I say, ask me if I care.

After watching this, I know have another reason why I would be fine with the rest of the world fighting their own battles, policing their own borders, feeding their own poor, providing medical services for their own sick, distributing their own medicine, comabating AIDS on their own, cleaning up after the next Tsunami on their own, dealing with terrorism on their own, matter of fact, lets just rip every dollar that we give in foreign assistance to any other country out of every federal budget from here on out, pull all of our troops out of even the most remote radar stations in the pacific, call home all of our navel vessels, tear down every missile battery, bunker,hospital and school that we have built and tell the world that since we fucked up so much in the past now you don't have to worry about us fucking anything up in the future - See you at the Olympics! And don't call us we will call you.

Thanks Dan, great job dealing with those moonbats LOL- made us all proud.

YouTube took down video #1 tho, for being over 10 mins

Keep up the Good Fight, sir!

Apparently the BBC is run by the Muslims, judging by this sneering assemblage. (Good thing you weren't in the studio.....that crone with the scarf would have slit your throat.) You spoke with such clarity and erudition, considering the pittance of time you were offered. You expressed the Conservative viewpoint "to a tee".

[J.K.]

I've seen this before, Dan. As Ad rem said, you speak with such clarity and erudition, and you don't insert 'um' between every word, that they don't want to give you any air time. You were (and have been on all your other speaking engagements) a far superior thinker and speaker than anyone else, and they can't stand it! You'd better start practicing to be a blithering idiot or you won't get anymore invitations to speak.

I like the black guy on the screen next to you. Did you hear the smackdown the host gave him at the end? Disgusting.

Good job, anyway.... for the short amount of time they gave you. "Oh, no! Not that Riehl guy again!" :)

Great job, Dan. Calm, cool and levelheaded.

Dan,
I couldn't watch more than one BBC segment! Listen to what
they are saying. Obama promised X, he promised Y, etc. If the
goal of the peace prize is to cheer world leaders on, then maybe
they should have awarded one to Bush when he started!!!

[Johnny I]

Wow. Just listened to the whole radio show--how could you stand it??

Very crafty bringing up logic and facts. Provided quite the contrast to the inane blathering--breathless championing of projected success. The campaign lives on!

What surprised me is the host actually challenged assumptions of the other guests that would have slipped by here in the MSM/left cable. BBC? Really?
Your American common sense worked its way into their cheerleading, which was nice to hear. "I agree with that completely...but, yay!"

Here the question is, "How much does he deserve it, a lot or a whole lot?"

[WBestPresidentEver]

Dan, Job will done. Thank you for doing this. You held your own. I know it had to be hard with the other scum.
Also, thank you for -->>> "I was so tired of the Bush bashing from that, I spoke out more on that during the radio show. I doubt the slice of the world that heard me today that doesn't like Bush likes me very much now, either. To which I say, ask me if I care."
I really appreciate that as you know how I FEEL about President G.W.Bush. (He will always be a decent and moral man in my eyes) I wish he was still the PRESIDENT. 3 more years of BHO is almost to much to bear. Unreal that 5 idiots that gave O this award. What retards. I guess the world has turned in to ALL RETARDS ALL THE TIME.
I will go and listen to all of the show now.
Take care & thank you again for all you do. Bless you. :O)

[WBestPresidentEver]

You are still asleep. WAKE UP. Post more. LOL..
I did not download the TV SHOW. I listened to the broadcast however. You gave them hell. Job, well done.
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH FOR PUTTING THEM IN THEIR PLACE.

[J.K.]

From 'The Times Online': "The award is also an example of what Nobel scholars call the growing aspirational trend of Nobel committees over the past three decades, by which awards are given not for what has been achieved but in support of the cause being fought for.

Thorbjørn Jagland, the committee chairman, made clear that this year’s prize fell in that category. “If you look at the history of the Peace Prize, we have on many occasions given it to try to enhance what many personalities were trying to do,” he said. “It could be too late to respond three years from now.”

That last sentence says it all. They bought into The Crossed-Fingers of HOPE. How insane can one's thinking become when they give an award based on hope? Uh, Obama may turn out to ruin the world in three years, but we're hoping he won't... not that it matters as we don't award achievement. Wishful thinking will never trump fact.

[Teleprompter Messiah]

As an American who lived abroad for many years, the prize makes perfect sense. Obama is the synthesis of everything that the post-modern transnational cultural relativists have hoped for. To them, his election is a signal that the United States has emerged from benighted to enlightened policies. Ergo, his very being has constrained the rapacious American warmongering monster.

Its a load of naive crap, but that is how these allegedly intelligent folks think. Remember, they live in an echo chamber in which no one seriously challenges their worldview. Maybe a universal WTF reaction might give pause to these folks.

Kudos to you Dan for having the guts to go into the lion's den of one of that group's media organs.
