A Feb. 8 CNSNews.com article (repeated at NewsMax) by Susan Jones touts a Nobel Peace Prize nomination for U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and conservative fave John Bolton. But wait — wasn’t CNS and the rest of the ConWeb disparaging such nominations just a few short months ago?
Yup. In stories on the then-pending execution of convicted murderer Stanley “Tookie” Williams (here and here), CNS countered mentions of Nobel nominations for Williams with the statements that “some conservatives question whether Williams’ previous actions can be forgiven” and that “similar opportunities were denied his victims.” And CNS ran a Jan. 25 column by Michelle Malkin regarding a battle over the life of a badly beaten girl who had been on life support: “I propose nominating her for a Nobel Prize. It bought Tookie Williams five extra years.”
ConWebBlog has previously noted WorldNetDaily’s hypocritical view on Nobel nominations.
