Founded in 1976, Landmark Legal Foundation is the leading conservative public interest law firm in the United States. Rush Limbaugh serves as an unpaid member of Landmark's Board of Advisors.

― UART variations (ex machina), Friday, 2 February 2007 17:38 (eighteen years ago)

no this is just some dumb right wing bullshit!

― Mr. Que (Mr.Que), Friday, 2 February 2007 17:39 (eighteen years ago)

I should certainly hope SO!

You can nominate anyone you want; it doesn't really mean anything.

haven't there been other hoaxes involving Yahoo just carrying press releases

no. IIRC the Nobel prize does not have open nominations.

oxycontin make you peaceful, see?

Everyday he gives voice to the values of democratic governance, individual opportunity and the just, equal application of the rule of law -- and it is fitting that the Nobel Committee recognize the power of these ideals to build a truly peaceful world for future generations.

This has been a rightwing for years, right? There's a coupla characters who get nominated every single year, doesn't mean much other than press releases.

― kingfishy (kingfish 2.0), Friday, 2 February 2007 17:57 (eighteen years ago)

The press release itself states that it is an unsolicited nomination.

― elmo argonaut (allocryptic), Friday, 2 February 2007 17:59 (eighteen years ago)

Maybe someone from the Nobel Assembly will nominate "you" for the peace prize.

While they're at it, they should nominate him for the Prize in Medicine, for his expert diagnosis of Michael J. Fox.

I'm reminded of this guy:
From the March 21 edition of Fox News' Hannity & Colmes:
HANNITY: And we're going to talk to a doctor who spent 10 hours with her tonight, and he says that he believes, in his expert opinion -- this is a man that was nominated for a Nobel Prize, by the way -- that she could be rehabilitated.
[...]
HANNITY: And coming up later in the program tonight, we're going to meet a doctor who actually spent 10 hours examining Terri Schiavo. He was nominated for a Nobel Prize. He believes that she could be rehabilitated.
[...]
HANNITY: You were nominated for a Nobel Prize in medicine?
HAMMESFAHR: Yes.
etc., ad nauseum.

Machado has really been off on one.

María Corina Machado, the far-right US-backed Venezuelan coup leader who won the Nobel Peace Prize, promised a “massive privatization” if Trump can put her in power.

She vowed to sell off $1.7 TRILLION of Venezuela's oil, gas, gold, infrastructure, etc. to US corporations. pic.twitter.com/jH4AkFbzzk
