In a statement sent to Greg Sargent, a Democratic National Committee spokesman comparing the Republican Party with the Taliban and Hamas.

“The Republican Party has thrown in its lot with the terrorists — the Taliban and Hamas this morning — in criticizing the President for receiving the Nobel Peace prize,” Brad Woodhouse said in a statement.

The Taliban called the Peace Prize “unjust” and said President Obama has done nothing to create peace in Afghanistan. RNC chairman Michael Steele asked, “What has President Obama actually accomplished?”

The DNC statement continues:

Republicans cheered when America failed to land the Olympics and now they are criticizing the President of the United States for receiving the Nobel Peace prize — an award he did not seek but that is nonetheless an honor in which every American can take great pride — unless of course you are the Republican Party. The 2009 version of the Republican Party has no boundaries, has no shame and has proved that they will put politics above patriotism at every turn. It’s no wonder only 20 percent of Americans admit to being Republicans anymore – it’s an embarrassing label to claim.
