He was nominated and consequently withdrawn… I think it was 1939 or so.

Hitler was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1939, you know about the same time he was invading Poland.

Is there a point to your question?

Aha! So you are pointing out that Hitler, 6 years into his reign was nominated for the NPP but as time went on people saw who he really was and he did not win. Um, interesting!

He never did. The loons have overdosed on their own resentment.

Resentment is like drinking poison and hoping the person you resent dies.

he never won it… he was nominated in 1938.

edit, ok, 1939.

and time picks their "man of the year" for infamy as often as for fame. charlie manson got it, and i don’t think anyone thinks he was a nice guy.

"All Nobel Peace Prize nominations from 1901 to 1951 have been released in a database, and showed Adolf Hitler to be nominated in 1939. The nomination was retracted in February of the same year. Other infamous nominees include Joseph Stalin and Benito Mussolini."

He didn’t. He was supposedly nominated in 1938 or 1939.

So were lots of others nominated.

Now, it’s the scum bag right wing Nazi filth like the idiot above who somehow has Obama confused with those reactionary maggots. Ain’t it hilarious how far these warped, imbecilic, ignorant slime will go? Stupid a*s, Nazism is RIGHT WING, Obama is not pure white–NO WAY he could be a Nazi, bozo, even if he wanted. Wake up, you stupid slime!

Hitler was nominated by the Swedish Member of Parliament Erik Brandt in January 1939. What many people don’t know, and obviously even his contemporaries didn’t understand, was that the whole nomination was nothing but a joke.

Brandt was a Social Democrat, a staunch anti-Nazi and one of the founders of a Swedish organization called Universal Anti-Fascist Coalition in 1938. What made him perform this practical joke was his astonishment over the naïve and gullible praise of the British Prime Minister Chamberlain ("Peace in Our Time") who in his opinion put the whole of Europe in danger by yielding ground to Hitler in Munich in September 1938 by accepting the incorporation of Bohemia in the Third Reich.

12 Swedish members of parliament praised Chamberlain to the skies and nominated him for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1938 (he didn’t get it), which made the astonished Brandt respond by nominating Hitler a few months later.

Brandt seems to have been both shocked and surprised when he realized that most people, including the media, didn’t get his irony. Many people even wrote him telegrams and letters to express their thanks and appreciation for his nominating Hitler. Even the German leadership seemed happy and content about the nomination (when he actually intended to make them feel offended by the irony), so Brandt quickly turned tail and withdrew it just a few days later.

In the end, no one was awarded the Peace Prize that year.

Sorry I can’t because he didn’t win it, and neither did George Bush, the war criminal!

I think we have beaten the Hitler horse to death. The issue is over the last few years the Nobel Peace prize has been marginalized to become nearly meaningless because of who was awarded the “Honor.” When characters like Al Gore, Jimmy Carter and Yasser Arafat win the Nobel Peace prize it marginalizes past recipients like Mother Teresa, Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King who made meaningful contributions and sacrifices in their life times.
The Nobel Peace price has become a means for Marxists to give their Marxist brethren Kudos on a Global scale.
In a sense it is quite an accomplishment for a devout Marxist to get elected as President of the United States but I am not sure it rises to the level of a Nobel Prize.

Obama Wins Yasser Arafat “Peace” Prize: World Amazed

Yes, that’s right, this year’s Nobel “Peace” Prize goes to Barack Obama. What’s the appropriate response: incredulity? Nah: the Nobel Peace Prize is a thoroughly discredited politically-correct coefficient of liberal transnational socialism. Barack Obama was tailor-made for this dubious honor, just as Yasser Arafat was. No, the appropriate response should be a compound of contempt and irritation, contempt for the bloviating Norwegians who once again have distinguished themselves by their sanctimonious fatuousness (”Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world’s attention and given its people hope for a better future . . . .”), irritation at the fact that this pseudo distinction will, in the eyes of the credulous, tend to legitimate the actions of the most anti-American and incompetent President in history.

The Times (no, not The New York Times, which is purring with pleasure at the news, but the London Times) is correct:

<<Rarely has an award had such an obvious political and partisan intent. It was clearly seen by the Norwegian Nobel committee as a way of expressing European gratitude for an end to the Bush Administration, approval for the election of America’s first black president and hope that Washington will honour its promise to re-engage with the world.

Instead, the prize risks looking preposterous in its claims, patronising in its intentions and demeaning in its attempt to build up a man who has barely begun his period in office, let alone achieved any tangible outcome for peace.>>

Bottom line: this action is less the awarding of a prize than a kick in the teeth aimed at traditional American power and prestige.

As usual, Andy McCarthy cuts to the chase:

<<I’m not all for Americans winning international prizes, especially the Nobel Peace Prize. In fact, I’m vigorously against it. The transnational progressives who pass out these accolades believe America is the problem in the world, the main threat to peace, the impediment to “progress,” etc. The award is a symbolic statement of opposition to American exceptionalism, American might, American capitalism, American self-determinism, and American pursuit of America’s interests in the world.>>

Exactly. If you are pro-American, you must be anti-the Nobel Peace. I am pro-American, ergo, etc. And Andy is to be commended, too, for his suggestion that we rebaptize this discreditable faux-honor with a more suitable name:

<<After a number of years, the NFL renamed its Super Bowl trophy after its most fitting recipient — it’s now called the Vince Lombardi Trophy. I’d like to see the Nobel Foundation follow suit. If today’s headlines said, “Barack Obama Wins Yasser Arafat Prize,” that would be perfect.>>

[UPDATE: a friend reminds me that this year's Nobel Peace Laureate, B. Obama, has just refused to meet last year's Nobel Peace Laureate, the Dalai Lama: what do you make of that?]
