   And that was after they were cheering the deaths of our soldiers by insisting   
   that pictures of their coffins be banned so they could pretend that no   
   sacrifices were being made.    I hear that the terrorists were with the GOP in   
   jeering Obama's Nobel Peace Prize.   At least we can be sure what camp the GOP   
   are in with.   Hell, a lot of them were shooting in the sky with their AK47's   
   when we lost the Olympics, just like the terrorists do when they have something   
   to celebrate.   
      
   GOP mocks Obama's peace prize, Russians praise it   
   (AP) ? 10 hours ago   
      
   WASHINGTON ? While Russia's president congratulated President Barack Obama for   
   winning the Nobel Peace Prize, Republicans see the award as so outrageous that   
   they're using it to raise campaign money.   
      
   Obama won the prize "for awesomeness," says the mocking GOP fundraising letter.   
   Obama's honor shows "how meaningless a once honorable and respected award has   
   become," says the letter, signed by Michael S. Steele, chairman of the   
   Republican National Committee.   
      
   Russian President Dmitry Medvedev had a different view. He said the award will   
   encourage further U.S.-Russian cooperation.   
      
   "I hope this decision would serve as an additional incentive for our common   
   work   
   to form a new climate in world politics and promote initiatives which are   
   fundamentally important for global security," Medvedev said in a letter to   
   Obama.   
      
   Steele said Obama hasn't accomplished enough to deserve the prize. Numerous   
   Democrats and independents have expressed similar views, although generally in   
   less bombastic terms.   
      
   Asking for contributions to the RNC of $25 to $1,000, Steele wrote that "the   
   Democrats and their international leftist allies want America made subservient   
   to the agenda of global redistribution and control. And truly patriotic   
   Americans like you and our Republican Party are the only thing standing in   
   their   
   way."   
      
   Former Cuban leader Fidel Castro called the Nobel award a "positive step,"   
   although he said it was more a repudiation of former President George W. Bush   
   than a recognition of anything concrete Obama has done.   
      
   South Africa's president, Jacob Zuma, cited a Zulu term ? "Ubuntu," which   
   refers   
   to the importance of community" ? in saying Obama's "leadership reflects the   
   true spirit of Ubuntu because your approach celebrates our common humanity."
