So you guys are saying that a warmongering, ultra right-wing bigot does NOT deserve the Nobel Peace Prize?

Getting past the thought of Rush being nominated, how do these people not know that not just anyone can nominate someone.

"Nomination for the Nobel Prizes
Each year the respective Nobel Committees send individual invitations to thousands of members of academies, university professors, scientists from numerous countries, previous Nobel Laureates, members of parliamentary assemblies and others, asking them to submit candidates for the Nobel Prizes for the coming year. These nominators are chosen in such a way that as many countries and universities as possible are represented over time."
