It's the same thing as the Krimson Kenyan's Nobel Peace Prize. Its purpose is to signify the politics of the awarding body.

I looked at the list, it appeared to be all women. Did not recognize most of the names. Lena Horne and Billie Jean King certainly made impacts in their own ways.


Radcliffe was originally a women's college. So there you are.


Arc.

My favorite response is when someone brings up the Hillary popular vote "win," --- I tell them that Trump didn't campaign to win the popular vote, and, if he did, then he would have won the popular vote.

That pretty much stops them in their tracks.

Consolation prize to the loser. Hilz can clutch her new Radcliffe medal until she squeezes water or wine from it, but she's not president now nor will she 'ever' be president. Enjoy your participation prize lady. Big Grin

It says...

quote:

Organizers say Clinton was chosen because she's a "champion for human rights," a "skilled legislator" and "an advocate of American leadership" on the world stage.

But what has she actually accomplished? I'm a "champion of being strong as an ox, having the sexual prowess of Casanova, and being filthy rich," but I'm none of those things. (Ok, maybe the Casanova part...) What did she accomplish to further human rights?

Skilled legislator? Since when? What did she actually accomplish as a legislator? Did she introduce a single piece of legislation that was even remotely significant? If so: I haven't been able to find it.

So she was "an advocate of American leadership." Leaving aside for the moment that those on the left argue America shouldn't seek to lead on the world stage: Just what does that mean? I'm an advocate of American leadership. I deserve recognition for that?

Every time Hillary supporters start going on about all the great stuff she's done I tell them "Name one." They never can.

That's because mainly what she's accomplished is to fool some of the people, those on the left side, all of the time.

Only in her dreams.

Ever since that I lost any and all respect, and recognition, of that institution. The ignoramuses that ruined it are apparently the same shitheads on the Harvard committee as well.

Oh, but that's not the first bogus Nobel Prize.

From the link:

quote:
THE STORY OF RIGOBERTA MENCHU, a Quiche Mayan from Guatemala, whose autobiography catapulted her to international fame, won her the Nobel Peace Prize, and made her an international emblem of the dispossessed indigenous peoples of the Western hemisphere and their attempt to rebel against the oppression of European conquerors, has now been exposed as a political fabrication, a tissue of lies, and one of the greatest intellectual and academic hoaxes of the Twentieth Century.

Sorry, but I don't believe that for a second. There's a reason why we have the Electoral College and why it's important that we never get rid of it. They could easily throw that argument back in your face and say, "well I guess there's no reason for the electoral college then."

The popular vote win had more to do with mindless group think and corruption which is typically centered in bigger cities. Trump was never going to win the popular vote in that election, not as a Republican in any case.

Y'know, these people could have gone to a far less expensive university and ended up just as stupid as they are at Harvard. Their parents wasted a lot of money.

If you really believe that Hillary Clinton is deserving of anything but a long prison sentence, you are very stupid. Deeply, genuinely stupid.
