The worst f#¢kin’ public service announcement ever

Unf#¢ the Gulf. That’s what the public service campaign is called.

Unf#¢k the Gulf. That’s what the public service campaign is called.

It’s supposed to be cool. Supposed to be edgy. Supposed to be really smart because they’re giving $5 from the sale of each T-shirt to charity and they let you vote on which charity.

But what it really is, is just shock for the sake of shock. Our bet? They don’t sell 1000 shirts.

President Obama calls African-Americans “mongrels,” sex poodle has no comment

President Obama waded into the national race debate in an unlikely setting and with an unusual choice of words: telling daytime talk show hosts that African-Americans are “sort of a mongrel people.”

Had a conservative called African-Americans “mongrels”, there wouldn’t be a font size large enough for the headlines that would have run in the mainstream media. Think Pearl Harbor multiplied by Man Lands On Moon. The headline in the New York Times would have taken up the whole front page.

pearl-harbor-headline
This is a small headline compared to what would run if a conservative had called African-Americans "mongrels"

But when President Obama said it on The View, the mainstream media just nodded and winked. Witness the following story from The Hill:

President Obama waded into the national race debate in an unlikely setting and with an unusual choice of words: telling daytime talk show hosts that African-Americans are “sort of a mongrel people.”

The president appeared on ABC’s morning talk show “The View” Thursday, where he talked about the forced resignation of Agriculture Department official Shirley Sherrod, his experience with race and his roots.

When asked about his background, which includes a black father and white mother, Obama said of African-Americans: “We are sort of a mongrel people.”

“I mean we’re all kinds of mixed up,” Obama said. “That’s actually true of white people as well, but we just know more about it.”

What a wonderfully post-racial thing to say. It is a good thing that Saint President Obama has transcended all racism now so that remarks like this are no longer offensive.

Unless a Republican were to say it, in which case it would be time to break out the giant fonts again.

Have you heard the one about President Obama and the unemployed woman?

Barack Obama said we need to extend unemployment compensation for women like Leslie Macko. He didn’t know she was fired for prescription drug fraud.

We actually wish this was a joke, but it’s not.

On July 19, President Obama called in the media to promote the Democrats’ latest extension of unemployment benefits. To help make his point, he brought in one of his patented human props, a Florida woman named Leslie Macko, who has been out of work for more than a year now.

Cue the gnashing of teeth and let the Democrat wailing begin. “Oh, poor Leslie Macko. We must do something for the Leslie Mackos of the world.”

“We need to extend unemployment compensation benefits for women like Leslie Macko, who lost her job at a fitness center last year, and has been looking for work ever since,” the President ominously intoned. “Because she’s eligible for only a few more weeks of unemployment, she’s doing what she never thought she’d have to do. Not at this point, anyway. She’s turning to her father for financial support.”

Unfortunately, no one at the White House bothered to research why Leslie Macko was unemployed. They should have.

Turns out Macko was canned from her job as an esthetician after being was convicted of prescription drug fraud.

Just like these clowns should all be canned for Hope and Change fraud.

San Franciscans will no longer be able to beat their meat on Mondays

San Francisco, a city long known for its fruits and nuts, has declared every Monday as Vegetarian Day.

san francisco vegetarian day
"It wasn't me, the dog did it" has now been replaced by "It wasn't me, Gavin Newsome did it."

San Francisco, a city long known for its fruits and nuts, has declared every Monday as Vegetarian Day.

PublicCEO.com has the meat of the story:

A resolution was passed in San Francisco declaring every Monday as “Vegetarian Day” to urge restaurants, grocery stores, and schools to offer plant based options for residents.

The 2009 report from World Bank environmental advisers, Goodland and Anhang, called “Livestock and Climate Change,” reveals that farmed animals and their byproducts are responsible for at least 32.6 billion tons of carbon dioxide per year, or 51 percent of annual worldwide greenhouse gas emissions.

Goodland and Anhang stated that replacing animal products with soy-based and other alternatives would be the best strategy for reversing climate change.

We checked with StraightDope.com, an authority that seemed appropriate in a story about San Francisco. It said, “The problem is the body’s inability to fully digest the complex carbohydrates so abundant in the vegetarian diet and the consequent excessive production of gases such as hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and methane.”

In other words, eat like a cow, fart like a cow.

Therefore, San Francisco’s theory that it can reduce greenhouse gasses by putting humans on a vegetarian diet to reduce the number of cows in the world is self-defeating. They’ll merely replace farting cows with farting humans.

And in the future, San Francisco’s politicians will be full of hot air and its citizens will be full of gas.

Blind sow finds acorn: Chris Matthews is correct on an issue

To say that Chris Matthews is wrong on virtually every issue is to state the obvious. But last night the Hardball host nailed the court decision against Arizona’s illegal alien law. Absolutely nailed it.

To say that Chris Matthews is wrong on virtually every issue is to state the obvious. But last night the Hardball host nailed the court decision against Arizona’s illegal alien law. Absolutely nailed it.

Matthews: Let me finish tonight with this federal injunction against the new Arizona immigration law. First of all, it is a killer issue politically for the Democrats this fall and a huge windfall for the Right. It will anger even those people who believe the Arizona law went too far. It will dramatize the main case raised by the Tea Party people, that the federal government in Washington has become too powerful, that the rights of states have been terribly abridged. That is the political consequence and it will be felt mightily this November.

Mystery in the Gulf: The case of the disappearing oil

For 86 days, oil spewed into the Gulf of Mexico from BP’s damaged well, dumping some 200 million gallons of crude into sensitive ecosystems. BP and the federal government have amassed an army to clean the oil up, but there’s one problem — they’re having trouble finding it.

This one is worthy of a Perry Mason novel. Call it The Case of the Missing Oil.

ABC News questions the missing lubricant’s location:

missing oil in gulf
There's a huge Gulf (of Mexico) between the environmentalists' predictions and reality

For 86 days, oil spewed into the Gulf of Mexico from BP’s damaged well, dumping some 200 million gallons of crude into sensitive ecosystems. BP and the federal government have amassed an army to clean the oil up, but there’s one problem — they’re having trouble finding it.

At its peak last month, the oil slick was the size of Kansas, but it has been rapidly shrinking, now down to the size of New Hampshire.

Why before long, it will be down to the size of Barack Obama’s ego.

Today, ABC News surveyed a marsh area and found none, and even on a flight out to the rig site Sunday with the Coast Guard, there was no oil to be seen.

“That oil is somewhere. It didn’t just disappear,” said Plaquemines Parish President Billy Nungesser.

Salvador Cepriano is one of the men searching for crude. Cepriano, a shrimper, has been laying out boom with his boat, but he’s found that there’s no oil to catch.

“I think it is underneath the water. It’s in between the bottom and the top of the water,” Cepriano said.

First it was ClimateGate, then Al Gore’s hotel room escapade with an unwilling masseuse, and now they can’t find any oil to back up their claim that this is the worst disaster in the history of mankind.

It’s almost enough to make you feel sorry for the environmentalists. (No angry emails, please. Note that we said “almost”.)

The End of Poverty = the beginning of boredom

The End of Poverty is a documentary that came out in 2009. Let us sum if up for you briefly: Poverty is Wall Street’s fault. It’s Washington’s fault. It’s America’s fault. It’s capitalism’s fault. All that plus Martin Sheen as the narrator. How did this dog not win a raft of Academy Awards?

We received this video in an email from one of our readers who said, “My idiot liberal sister sent this to me.”

The End of Poverty is a documentary that came out in 2009. According to imdb.com, the total domestic box office for this piece of crappola was – are you rady – a laughably low $57,805. Hell, they could have done that much business if the gals from Code Pink had decided to take in a matinee between protests. It took in so little money that The End of Poverty may have been the beginning of poverty for whoever financed it.

Let us sum if up for you briefly: Poverty is Wall Street’s fault. It’s Washington’s fault. It’s America’s fault. It’s capitalism’s fault. All that plus Martin Sheen as the narrator.

How did this dog not win a raft of Academy Awards? It has everything Hollywood wants to see, but nothing the American people want to see. And that combo is usually good for an Oscar or three.

40 Al-Qaeda terrorists killed by their own Black Plague biological weapon

Sad, sad news from Algeria. Forty al-Qaeda terrorists died slow, painful deaths earlier this month when they were infected by the black plague they were trying to turn into a biological weapon.

Sad, sad news from Algeria. Forty al-Qaeda terrorists died slow, painful deaths earlier this month when they were infected by the black plague they were trying to turn into a biological weapon.

The Telegraph UK has the ironic, bubonic news:

black plague al qaeda
This is the black plague? We thought Jesse Jackson was the black plague.

It was initially believed that they could have caught the disease through fleas on rats attracted by poor living conditions in their forest hideout.

But there are now claims the cell was developing the disease as a weapon to use against western cities.

Experts said that the group was developing chemical and biological weapons.

Dr Igor Khrupinov, a biological weapons expert at Georgia University, told The Sun: “Al-Qaeda is known to experiment with biological weapons. And this group has direct communication with other cells around the world.

“Contagious diseases, like ebola and anthrax, occur in northern Africa. It makes sense that people are trying to use them against Western governments.”

It’s only fair, you might say, that people who want to live in the 14th century should die of a 14th century disease.

Good news! The EPA now factors “environmental justice” into its rulemaking process

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has released a 55-page “guidance” to help its employees “advance environmental justice” for low-income and minority communities.

As far as we’re concerned, “environmental justice” is what you’d call it if Al Gore froze to death while speaking about global warming. But that’s not the way the EPA looks at it.

CNSnews.com has the story:

EPA environmental justice
The Minority, Low-Income, Non-English Speaking and Indigenous Population Casino, where the drinks are watered down, but the environmental justice isn't.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has released a 55-page “guidance” to help its employees “advance environmental justice” for low-income and minority communities.

“Achieving environmental justice is an Agency priority and should be factored into every decision,” the document says.

You may ask yourself the obvious question that we asked ourselves: What the hell is environmental justice?

The EPA defines environmental justice as the “fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people, particularly minority, low-income, and indigenous populations, and tribes, in the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies.” 
 


The guide states that from now on — in the process of developing rules, policy statements, risk assessments, and other regulatory actions — EPA managers and staffers must first ask themselves, “Does this action involve a topic that is likely to be of particular interest to or have particular impact upon minority, low-income, or indigenous populations, or tribes?”
 


If the answer is yes, the rule-writers must reach out to the affected minority and/or low-income communities. One section of the guide explains how EPA rule-writers may have to make “special efforts” to connect with people who may be uneducated or non-English-speaking.

Far as we can tell, that means environmental justice is served when the indigenous populations build indigenous population casinos.

Hit me, dealer. And power to the indigenous population!

Barney Frank pitches hissy fit when ferry won’t give him a $1 senior discount

Massachusetts Congressman Barney Frank caused a scene when he demanded a $1 senior discount on his ferry fare to Fire Island’s popular gay haunt, The Pines.

As a member of the House of Representatives, Barney Frank is forced to scrape by on a mere $174,000 annual salary. So it’s no wonder he’s so interested in saving a buck here and there.

The New York Post reports the New York pout:

barney frank ferry senior discount
Barney Frank is very disappointed that he didn't get his senior discount

Massachusetts Congressman Barney Frank caused a scene when he demanded a $1 senior discount on his ferry fare to Fire Island’s popular gay haunt, The Pines, last Friday. Frank was turned down by ticket clerks at the dock in Sayville because he didn’t have the required Suffolk County Senior Citizens ID. A witness reports, “Frank made such a drama over the senior rate that I contemplated offering him the dollar to cool down the situation.” Frank made news last year when he was spotted looking uncomfortable around a bevy of topless, well-built men at the Pines Annual Ascension Beach Party. Frank’s spokesperson confirmed to Page Six that his partner, James Ready, asked the ticket office for a regular ticket for himself and a senior ticket for Frank, “but was turned down because Frank didn’t have a resident ID.”

We are so damn proud of ourselves. A story involving Barney Frank and a ferry and we didn’t go for the obvious joke.

Barbara Boxer out to prove she’s the stupidest member of congress, compares life in congress to life in military

Now the dimwitted United States senator from California has compared serving in Congress to serving in the military.

There’s plenty of competition for the title of Biggest Moron in Congress, but Barbara Boxer seems to be committed to snatching the title in perpetuity.

Now the dimwitted United States senator from California has compared serving in Congress to serving in the military.

“We know that if you have veterans in one place where they can befriend each other and talk to each other. You know when you’ve gone through similar things you need to share it. I don’t care whether you are a policeman or a fireman or a veteran or by chance a member of Congress,” the California senator said. “[Democratic Rep.] Maxine [Waters] and I could look at each other and roll our eyes. We know what we are up against. And it is hard for people who are not there to understand the pressure and the great things that go along with it and the tough things that go along with it.”

Might we point out, Babs, that members of the military have to go through Basic Training, but members of congress need no training whatsoever.

And it shows.

We're going to give the President exactly what he wants for his birthday - another pound of flesh

Imagine our surprise when we got this very personal email from the First Lady today:

Dear IHateTheMedia:

Every year, our family tries to come up with a fun way to wish Barack a happy birthday.

And this August 4th, when he turns 49, I have something new in mind.

This has been a big — and hectic — year for him. After signing the Affordable Care Act and Wall Street reform into law — and completing his first year as president — I think it’s safe to say we will remember it for a long time.

And I know full well how much he credits this movement, and the work of supporters like you, for the change that we’ve accomplished.

So I’m putting together a birthday card that I would like you to sign. Together with other Organizing for America supporters — and me, Malia, Sasha, and Bo — we’ll wish him a happy birthday and let him know that we’re ready to take on the year ahead alongside him.

Will you wish Barack a happy birthday with me?

This year also brought a lot of surprises — some good and some bad.

Supporters like you have helped him make the best of it — by contacting Congress to help push stalled legislation forward, by re-engaging supporters in the political process, by giving back with service projects across the country, and so much more.

And while we can’t know what the coming year will bring, all of us, working together, will continue pushing forward for change.

Will you help make this a memorable birthday for Barack and wish him a happy 49th?

Thanks so much,

Michelle Obama

Paid for by Organizing for America, a project of the Democratic National Committee — 430 South Capitol Street SE, Washington, D.C. 20003. This communication is not authorized by any candidate or candidate’s committee.

Please take Michelle up on her request. Go to the birthday website. Leave a personal message for President Obama.

Then copy and paste your birthday greeting into a comment here at IHateTheMedia.com. This should be good for a few laughs.

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie aborts $7,500,000 in funding for Planned Parenthood

These are dark days for abortionists in New Jersey. Governor Chris Christie has vetoed a bill that would have given $7.5 million to “family planning” clinics.

These are dark days for abortionists in New Jersey. Governor Chris Christie has vetoed a bill that would have given $7.5 million to “family planning” clinics.

“State spending has been reset to levels the taxpayers can afford,” said Christie in a message to New Jersey’s Democrat-dominated legislature. “Supplemental spending that would return to the unchecked spending and out of control budget shortfalls of the past will not make it past the Governor’s desk.”

The big man has big cojones

Marie Tasy, executive director of New Jersey Right to Life, applauded Christie’s veto.

“The taxpayers of New Jersey are under no obligation to fund the radical and failed social agenda of Planned Parenthood,’’ she said. “We commend Governor Christie for his steadfast opposition to restoring these funds.”

Christie seems to have sucked the life out of New Jersey’s Democrats, which, considering that we’re talking about abortionists, seems only fair.

Top 25 things President Obama is teaching his daughters about money

Starry-eyed ABC reporter Elisabeth Leamy had a chance to interview President Obama and actually asked him, “What are you and the First Lady teaching your daughters about money?”

The President is terribly pressed for time what with all the TV interviews and magazine cover photo sessions and golf games and vacations and laser-like focus on the economy and equally laser-like focus on the gulf oil spill, so he didn’t have time to fully answer Leamy’s question. If he had, we’re pretty sure that these are the important life lessons he’s teaching Sasha and Malia:

1. The more ice cream you eat, the less chance there is for poor children to become obese.

2. There’s no shame in being on welfare. That’s how Daddy buys votes.

3. Ask your mother. She makes all the policy decisions.

4. When I was your age, I had to walk to the madrassa uphill. In both directions.

Sherrod: Finally, we must stop the white man and his Uncle Toms from stealing our elections. We must not be afraid to vote black and we must not be afraid to turn a black out who votes against our interests. In a few days or weeks, the FCC will announce that we have won a full power community-owned radio station in all the majority. The result of years of work. Tears that we shed so many times when the TV and the newspaper comes out the day of an election or the day before an election and tell white folk all over wherever we’re running someone for an office that blacks are going to take this office over. And thousands are coming to the polls. And you gotta get it. But we had no means of communicating with our people. so it’s a blessing that finally we will have a radio station to communicate with thousands of people.

The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Writing For A Website Aimed At Complete Idiots

Media Matters, which obviously believes the rules of journalism apply only to lesser mortals than they. Otherwise they would have to worry quoting sources and references and stuff like that. But as you will see, no such rules apply to the mighty pens of Media Matters.

One of the worst parts of our job is having to pore over loads of leftist crappola journalism every single damn day in order to bring you more reasons to hate the media.

A good case in point is Media Matters, which obviously believes the rules of journalism apply only to lesser mortals than they. Otherwise they would have to worry quoting sources and references and stuff like that. But as you will see, no such rules apply to the mighty pens of Media Matters.

As proof, consider the following story from that paragon of leftist journalism, MediaMatters.org:

Bipartisan agreement: Fox-hyped New Black Panthers case is a phony scandal

Numerous media and political figures, including Fox News contributors and Republicans, have dismissed the Fox-hyped phony scandal surrounding the New Black Panthers Party, with the Republican vice chairwoman of the U.S. Civil Rights Commission even criticizing conservatives on the commission for trying to use the case “to topple the [Obama] administration.” Despite this, Fox News has hyped the manufactured scandal more than 100 times since June 30.”

That’s it, the whole story, as it ran at Media Matters, which is apparently far too busy trashing conservatives in general and Fox News in particular to worry about trivial things like naming sources or referencing quotes.

unnamed-source
We're pretty sure this image has nothing to do with this story, but when we did a Google image search for "unnamed source", it came up. So what the hell.

With that in mind, we thought it might be fun to do our own story following the rules of the Media Matters School of Journalism:

Bipartisan agreement: President Obama is not doing a good job

Several Democrats and Republicans have agreed that President Obama’s administration is doing a really crappy job. This fact has been continuously supported by many polls that say pretty much the same thing. A couple of unnamed Democrats have actually gone so far as to accuse the White House of advancing a socialist agenda. Despite this, President Obama refuses to resign.

The line immediately below this one is a newfangled journalistic thingamabob called “a source.” You should give it a try sometime, Media Matters.
