Angry white racists gather to lynch Obama

The Huffington Post played the race card on its home page today. The huge headline “GOP Returns to ‘White Voter Strategy'” is placed over what the left seems to think is the typical white racist person

huffpo-white-voter-bordered

With President Obama plummeting in the polls, and the public’s dismal view of the ineffective stimulus package, cap-and-trade, Obamacare, Cash-for-Clunkers and the mad race toward socialism, there is only one option left for the far left:

Play the race card. And play it now.

That’s exactly what the Huffington Post did on its home page today. The huge headline “GOP Returns to ‘White Voter Strategy'” is placed over what the left seems to think is the typical white person: he’s a bearded, southern-looking man wearing a cowboy hat and a Redskins jersey. And he’s angry. So angry, in fact, that he’s pointing his finger. And Angry White Man is not alone. An entire crowd of other angry white people can be seen behind him.

Unfortunately, they are blurred so you can’t see their guns, bibles and beers. And lynchin’ ropes. You can’t see their lynchin’ ropes, either.

But we’re pretty sure the folks at the Huffington Post can see them.

Rookie “Cash-for-Clunkers” Cars.gov technical error saves taxpayers billions

A simple rookie error is causing the government’s cash for clunkers web site to not come up for many, if not most, people.

“Honey, don’t get excited about that new Lexus just yet, the Cars.gov website is still down”
“Honey, don’t get excited about that new Lexus just yet, the Cars.gov website is still down”

We’ve been trying to get on the cars.gov “cash for clunkers” web site for the last few days. But, it just wouldn’t come up for us. Given all the failures of the federal government, both in concept and execution, we figured that they simply over-promised the free money and under-delivered on their web server horsepower.

If you’re thinking to yourself, wait, I’ve been on the the site and it works just fine, well, you are also correct. But that’s only because you keyed in www.cars.gov, not cars.gov. It works the www prefix just fine; but on most browsers, without the www, it doesn’t. Click the links above and try it for yourself. That’s just not how a website is supposed to work. Try our site to see what should happen: if you key in ihatethemedia.com, it moves you over to www.ihatethemedia.com. No server error, right to the home page.

It’s an very simple problem to overcome, one that every rookie website owner runs into, unless it’s automatically taken care of by the web host. What is the fix? Ha! You think we’re going to tell the federal government how to give away more money? If they had their site done right, they might now be requesting $8 billion for this disastrous program, not $4 billion

The federal government: a bunch of rookies, in every way, every day.

Liberal blogger stabs girlfriend with screwdriver 222 times. And the victim wasn’t even a conservative.

Here’s a story you probably won’t read in the Huffington Post: One of its writers, Carol Burger, has been arrested for stabbing her wife with a screwdriver not once, not twice, but 222 times.

Carol Burger or as she's better known, the Huffington Post Killer
Carol Burger or as she's better known, the Huffington Post Killer

Here’s a story you probably won’t read in the Huffington Post: One of its writers has been arrested for stabbing her roommate girlfriend wife with a screwdriver not once, not twice, but 222 times.

Carol Burger covered the election for the HuffPo. Jessica Kalish, her roommate girlfriend wife, was a South Florida software executive and part-time talk show host.

Here’s how the Miami New Times reports the story:

To outsiders, it seemed they were the embodiment of contemporary domestic bliss: two smart, professional women living in an immaculate house replete with screened-in pool, a cabana bathroom, and plenty of room for their two adopted racing greyhounds. Soon, though, all of South Florida learned the unsettling truth.

The tragic tale continues:

Most of the screwdriver blows landed on Jessica’s neck and on the back of her head, perhaps directed at her new haircut. All told, there were 222 stab wounds. The lacerations were, on average, an inch to an inch-and-a-half deep, and most were shaped like the tiny plus sign on the tip of a Phillips-head screwdriver. The fatal strike was likely a blow to the spinal cord. The struggle — and subsequent overkill — probably lasted about 20 minutes.

To repeat, 222 stab wounds delivered over a 20-minute period.

And yet we wouldn’t be surprised if the defense attorneys portray it as self-defense. We wouldn’t be surprised if the left mounts “Free Burger” rallies. And we wouldn’t be surprised if Gloria Allred finds the TV cameras to announce that Burger is only being charged because she’s a woman.

There are two valuable lessons to be learned from this story:

One – Don’t piss off any writers at the Huffington Post.

Two – When phillips head screwdrivers are outlawed, only outlaws will have phillips head screwdrivers.

New York Times sets new world record for most errors in one story

America’s so-called “newspaper of record” must have set a record with this correction to a recent article on Walter Cronkite

new-york-times-building

America’s so-called “newspaper of record” must have set a record with this correction to a recent article on Walter Cronkite:

“An appraisal on Saturday about Walter Cronkite’s career included a number of errors. In some copies, it misstated the date that the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was killed and referred incorrectly to Mr. Cronkite’s coverage of D-Day. Dr. King was killed on April 4, 1968, not April 30. Mr. Cronkite covered the D-Day landing from a warplane; he did not storm the beaches. In addition, Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon on July 20, 1969, not July 26. ‘The CBS Evening News’ overtook ‘The Huntley-Brinkley Report’ on NBC in the ratings during the 1967-68 television season, not after Chet Huntley retired in 1970. A communications satellite used to relay correspondents’ reports from around the world was Telstar, not Telestar. Howard K. Smith was not one of the CBS correspondents Mr. Cronkite would turn to for reports from the field after he became anchor of ‘The CBS Evening News’ in 1962; he left CBS before Mr. Cronkite was the anchor. Because of an editing error, the appraisal also misstated the name of the news agency for which Mr. Cronkite was Moscow bureau chief after World War II. At that time it was United Press, not United Press International.”

It would be funny if it weren’t so pathetic.

Nah, it’s funny.

Guilty as charged: Cambridge Police Department profiled Barack Obama while he was at Harvard

It’s no wonder Barack Obama thought the Cambridge police had profiled Professor Henry Louis Gates. He has had personal experience with the ugly brute force of their racism.

Oh, how we long for the moment when time expires on this administration
Oh, how we long for the moment when time expires on this administration

It’s no wonder Barack Obama thought the Cambridge police had profiled Professor Henry Louis Gates. He has had personal experience with the ugly brute force of their racism.

The fascist, racists in the Cambridge Police Department unfairly targeted the oppressed young black man who is now President of the United States with unwarranted parking ticket after unwarranted parking ticket while he was student at Harvard Law School between 1989-1991.

In a brave attempt to protest the police department’s blatantly racist policies, Obama left Cambridge without paying for 17 of those tickets.

OK, that’s how some leftwing blogs might report this story, but here’s the truth:

President Obama is a deadbeat. He skipped town without paying for 17 parking tickets. They sat unpaid for 20 years – until two weeks before he announced his bid for the presidency – when he finally ponied up the money he owed the city of Cambridge. The violations included parking in a bus stop and parking without a proper permit.

“In other words,” John LeBoutillier said at NewsMax.com, “as a practicing lawyer in Chicago, he allowed these tickets and penalties to remain unpaid; as an Illinois state senator he allowed these tickets and fines to remain unpaid; and as a United States senator he allowed these almost-two-decade-old signs of his disdain for the law to remain unpaid.”

Do as he says, peasant, not as he does.

Rat deserting sinking ship: Why is the Secretary of State building her campaign fund?

Hillary Clinton’s massive campaign debt has quietly been paid off. And now she’s stockpiling cash. In fact, the former presidential candidate has socked away $3,000,000 in her campaign fund.

When the U.S.S. Obama goes down, Hillary Clinton will already be ashore, basking in the sunshine and ready to run

Hillary Clinton’s massive campaign debt has quietly been paid off. And now she’s stockpiling cash. In fact, the former presidential candidate has socked away $3,000,000 in her campaign fund.

Wait a sec. Did we say campaign fund?

The Secretary of State, who supposedly left politics behind when President Obama made her the nation’s top diplomat, said, “I’m now out of politics” and that future political office “is not anything that is at all on my radar screen.”

However, in addition to stockpiling cash, Hillary still has eight people working on her “former” campaign.

It may just be that Hillary reads the polls and is beginning to think we may be in the middle of a one-term presidency

Where’s that damn button? Hillary wants to reset America’s relationship with Barack Obama.

Nine weeks of hurricane season gone. We’ve had zip, zilch, zero. Which also describes Al Gore’s credibility.

Al Gore is a liar. A sad, pathetic liar who’s made a fortune playing Chicken Little on global warming. Nine full weeks into official hurricane season and no hurricanes, not even a tropical storm.

hurricane-center-map-week-nine Al Gore is a liar. A sad, pathetic liar who’s made a fortune playing Chicken Little.

Well, that pretty much sums it up. Nine full weeks into official hurricane season and the weather is determined to reveal the magnitude of Gore’s prevarications. 63 long, calm days deep into hurricane season and we’ve had not a single hurricane. Not a single tropical storm. Not even a single tropical depression.

In the record-setting year of 2005, we had already had eight storms by this date. In the remarkably quiet year of 2006, we’d had three. In the average year of 2007, we’d had three. And in the average year of 2008, we’d had five.

Cash-for-Clunkers: Wrong for so many reasons

Barack Obama learned absolutely nothing from the failed economic policy Soviet Union, because Cash-for-Clunkers clearly demonstrates central planning at its worst.

Cash-for-Clunkers, or as Lenin called it, Наличные-за-старье
Cash-for-Clunkers, or as Lenin called it, Наличные-за-старье

For the moment, let’s just ignore that the Obama brain trust developed a program that was designed to run for three months but ran out of money in four days, and what that might tell us about their ability to forecast anything about the economy or their ability to administer your healthcare.

Seriously. Let’s just put that aside for the moment, because there are lots of other reasons to cringe at Cash-for-Clunkers.

Far as we can tell, Barack Obama learned absolutely nothing from the failed economic policy Soviet Union, because Cash-for-Clunkers clearly demonstrates central planning at its worst.

What the Obama administration saw as a devilishly-clever way to add another $1 billion (now increased to $3 billion) to the automakers bailout will also have the unintended consequence of distorting markets for years to come.

  • By selling cars at artificially-depressed prices, it subsidizes weak dealers who will be able to keep their doors open and compete against stronger dealers.
  • By artificially increasing demand now, it will artificially reduce demand in the future.
  • By artificially reducing the supply of used cars, It will artificially increase the demand for and price of the remaining used cars.
  • By mandating the destruction of used cars, Cash-for-Clunkers will unintentionally distort the market for spare parts and auto repairs.
  • By providing what is, in effect, a $4500 tax cut for those who can afford to purchase a new car during a recession, it punishes those who may need help the most.

Ironic, isn’t it, that the same man who appoints so many czars should make the same mistakes as the Russian communists who replaced the czars.

Democrats won’t let Republicans investigate Washington politicians’ crooked mortgages

The democrats want to subpoena all the VIP mortgage records from Countrywide Financial. You know, the guys who gave sweetheart deals to Democrat Senators Chris Dodd and Kent Conrad.

Republicans have called the Democrats’ bluff on the culture of corruption. They want to subpoena all the VIP mortgage records from Countrywide Financial. You know, the guys who gave sweetheart deals to Democrat Senators Chris Dodd and Kent Conrad.

The Republicans say they’re willing to take a chance that GOP lawmakers will also be ensnared in the Countrywide mortgage scandal.

Unfortunately, House Democrats are being somewhat less than cooperative. They’ve refused to subpoena records that might reveal if any other members of Congress also got discounted loans and special treatment.

According to congressional rules, only the chairman of a committee can issue a subpoena. New York Democrat Edolphus Towns, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, said he’s just too darn busy stimulating the economy to find out which members of Congress are corrupt.

California Republican Darrell Issa, the senior Republican on Towns’ committee, has repeatedly tried to get Towns to subpoena Countrywide’s records. Towns has turned down each request.

A Bank of America spokesman said it will gladly submit all the documents as soon as it receives a subpoena. “They have it packed and ready to go,” Issa noted.

Do you think it has anything to do with the fact that every politician who’s been ensnared in the Countrywide scandal so far has been a Democrat? And do you think, perhaps, both parties already know exactly who will be named in those records?

Janeane Garofalo: She’s everything we’ve ever wanted in a girl

Janeane Garofalo demonstrated her delightfulness in a recent interview with the Guardian UK. Please be warned, however, that she uses some delightfully obscene language.

Who could blame us for falling in love with the future Mrs. IHateTheMedia.com

What’s not to love about Janeane Garofalo? She’s delightful. She’s covered with delightful tattoos. And she has a delightful disposition. She is, in a word, delightful.

She demonstrated her delightfulness in a recent interview with the Guardian UK. Please be warned, however, that she uses some delightfully obscene language.

Her delightful thoughts about getting her head blown off in “Team America: World Police”:

“I didn’t like that at all,” says the actor and comedian. “I didn’t see it, but I know about it. The only upside to it was I was given far more credit for being famous that I’ve ever been given in my life.” … “What am I getting my head blown off for? For speaking out against an immoral, illegal and unjustified invasion and occupation? What they did was cowardly. To try and get yourself off the hook by saying we’re equal-opportunity offenders, it doesn’t mean shit to me.”

Her delightful thoughts on tea parties:

“Fucking redneck douchebaggery. Unmitigated douchebaggery. Why are they holding signs that say, ‘Whatchoo talking about, Willis?’ These people are called ‘racially sensitive’, what they should be called is racist, backward motherfuckers.”

Her delightful thoughts on Fox News:

“They only book people who are easy to mock and marginalise. I kind of thought, ‘Someone’s got to do it.’ But talking to those assholes is a drag. It’s a drag meeting the same assholes from high school when you’re 40.”

Her delightful thoughts on “24″:

“Initially when I was asked to do the show I had reservations about it because of the politics. And I thought further and realised, I don’t have a job. So I put my reservations on the back burner. And I did enjoy working there, it was one of the most enjoyable jobs I’ve had.” There was nothing that made you go, ‘Whoa there’? “Besides all the torture? Sure, that made me go, ‘Whoa there.’ Luckily they allowed my character to voice her distaste for the violation of the constitution, but then they’d have Jack yell at her.” Garofalo isn’t bitter about it, but doesn’t think she’ll go back. “Objectively speaking, I don’t think my character served any purpose. I don’t think they needed Janis Gold.”

Who wouldn’t fall in love with this delightful girl.

Janeane, would you please do us the honor of marrying us?

Scientist/astronaut “feels” earth has been scarred by humans

Bob Thirsk, a Canadian astronaut orbiting in the International Space Station, has concluded that earth bears the scars of human destruction. He reached this conclusion by using something a bit less scientific than the scientific method -– his feelings.

Before you begin reading this story, please click on the video clip so that you have the appropriate mood music. You know, something schmaltzy, something syrupy, something feelingish.

Bob Thirsk, a Canadian astronaut orbiting in the International Space Station, has concluded that earth bears the scars of human destruction. He reached this conclusion by using something a bit less scientific than the scientific method -– his feelings.

Here’s how Reuters tells Thirsk’s tale:

Bob Thirsk, who is two months into a planned six-month stay aboard the station, said he is mostly in awe when he looks out the window, particularly at the sliver of atmosphere wrapped around the planet.

”It’s a very thin veil of atmosphere around the Earth that keeps us alive,” Thirsk said during an in-flight news conference. “Most of the time when I look out the window I’m in awe. But there are some effects of the human destruction of the Earth as well.”

”This is probably just a perception, but I just have the feeling that the glaciers are melting, the snow capping the mountains is less than it was 12 years ago when I saw it last time,” Thrisk said.

This is probably just a perception on our part, too:

Thirsk’s credibility is disappearing faster than the glaciers.

Could bad Cuban economy have anything to do with authoritarian, communist economy? Nah.

The Associated Press reports that the Cuban Revolution Day is not off to such a great start in Havana.

The Associated Press reports that the Cuban Revolution Day is not off to such a great start in Havana.

Oh, sure, there’s still the sea of olive drab uniforms, the Che Guevara souvenir t-shirt shops, the parade of antique cars (because that’s all the people can afford), and the display of homemade boats created to leave the country.

But the economy’s been hit hard this year, according to the AP.

It’s the global credit meltdown, U.S. relations, and a failure of economic “reforms” that are causing this ho (chi minh) hum celebration. Interestingly, they don’t report that the failure of the Cuban revolution might…might…have something to do with the fact that for the last 50 years, the country has been run — and ruined — by a group of authoritarian, communist thugs who imprison people for daring to speak their minds and wreck the economy with state-run, communist principles that only work in select Oliver Stone movies.

The article does mention, however, that Cubans have – nudge, nudge, wink, wink – free health care. Something Americans could have, too, if they were just willing to live on $20 a month.

Freud said that sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, but in Cuba, a cigar is a symbol of a stupid, repressive, communist system that enslaves a proud, smart people.

Iowa woman selling her televisions to avoid Obama

One need not sell one

Deloris Nissen, a retired nurses’ aide, is selling her two TVs in an attempt to avoid Barack Obama. She offered the televisions in a $5.50 classified ad that ran in Iowa’s Daily Times Herald.

Nissen said she is disgusted with the president’s constant presence on TV.

“It’s Obama on every channel and station. I just got tired of watching him on every channel,” she complained. “I thought, my gosh, does he ever stay at the White House?”



Nissen said she quickly turns the channel when Obama pops up on any program she happens to be watching.

“I have the remote real handy,” Nissen admitted. “I have the batteries. I’m ready for him.”

We wish you well, Deloris, but it won’t be that easy. Time Magazine just announced on Thursday that Obama will be on its cover for the 12th time in the last year.

ObamaCare 2009 versus Soylent Green 1973

Is it just us or is the plotline for ObamaCare starting to sound a lot like the plotline of Soylent Green? Medicare will be cut. Medicaid will be cut. End of life care will be denied. Bodies of the elderly will begin piling up and the government will have to figure out how to get rid of them.

Remember Soylent Green? It was a 1973 science fiction movie set in a future, fascist, overpopulated world.

“Soylent Green” was a food product provided by the government to its starving citizens. Police detective Charlton Heston discovered that people were mysteriously disappearing and attempted to find out why. In the end, as shown in this clip, he revealed the horrible secret of Soylent Green as he was being taken away by authorities.

Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, brother of White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, wants doctors to look beyond the needs of their patients and consider social justice, such as whether the money could be better spent on somebody else.

Emanuel thinks doctors’ decisions on who gets care should be based on “communitarianism.” Medical care, he said in a Hastings Center Report in 1996, should be reserved for the non-disabled and kept from those “who are irreversibly prevented from being or becoming participating citizens … An obvious example is not guaranteeing health services to patients with dementia.”

What’s the difference between Soylent Green and ObamaCare?

Soylent Green is people, but ObamaCare is anti-people.

How long until blacks begin calling Obama the 44th white president?

Obama has managed to maintain remarkably high levels of support among America’s black voters. But at the rate he’s going, blacks may soon stop referring to him as America’s First Black President and begin calling him America’s 44th White President.

Ann Dunham holds her son, the future 44th white president of the United States

A few years ago Halle Berry was feted as the first black actress to win an Academy Award.

While tearfully accepting her award, she spoke of being black and thanked her mother, who was sitting in the audience. Mom was white. We wondered why Berry called herself black when she had been abandoned by her black father and apparently still identified so strongly with her white mother.

Barack Obama’s story is very similar. Abandoned by a black father, raised by a white mother. Yet the white half of the equation is somehow brushed aside and he has become America’s First Black President.

Unfortunately, as Esquire Magazine explains, that first black president thing is not working out so well for the rest of America’s blacks:

Nobody wants to hear it, but this fact is too important to ignore: So far, the first African-American presidency has been one of the worst ever for African-Americans. The economic crisis has predominantly hit non-white working class men; the collapse of the auto industry is threatening to destroy the basis of the Midwestern black middle class. Key matters for African-Americans languish — the overincarceration of young black men that makes a mockery of American justice being the number one example. Government aid? That goes to bankers in Connecticut. If the President were white, there would be riots. In this contradictory atmosphere — pregnant with the tension between symbolism and reality — the Henry Louis Gates Jr. scandal has landed with a force out of all proportion to what may or may not have happened in Cambridge. While the bizarre story of his arrest in his own home may seem like an anomaly, it has emerged from a deep national confusion evident everywhere in popular culture. Call it the Obama Discrepancy: Race is much less prominent as a subject while its effects are no less toxic.

And all of this came before the GatesGate fiasco of the last two weeks.

So far, Obama has managed to maintain remarkably high levels of support among America’s black voters. But at the rate he’s going, blacks may soon stop referring to him as America’s First Black President and begin calling him America’s 44th White President.

Maxine Waters named one of the most beautiful people in Washington, DC. Seriously. For real. Stop laughing.

Another sign of the Apocolypse: Maxine Waters named one of Washington, DC's most beautiful people
Another sign of the Apocolypse: Maxine Waters named one of Washington, DC's most beautiful people

Somebody must have spiked the water cooler at The Hill. How else can you explain the fact that they named California Congresswoman Maxine Waters one of the fifty most beautiful people in Washington, DC?

Stop laughing. This is serious. Here, we’ll quote them:

Rep. Maxine Waters

A high-heeled woman
Age: 70

Hometown: Los Angeles

Political party: Democratic

Relationship status: Married



Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) has more than just a home state in common with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) The Southern Californian equals her northern counterpart in the ability to endure 12-hour congressional workdays in four-inch stiletto heels. One aspect of Waters’s signature look — along with her stylish glasses — is her impressively high footwear.

Her leg strength must come from years as a runner. But because of an injury, Waters has recently switched to swimming as her exercise of choice. Most of her cardio, though, surely comes from her first love in personal activities: antique shopping.

Waters collects antique perfume bottles, scales and radios. She also has an extensive collection of ethnic dolls from all over the world, and she loves shopping for old furniture and art.

“I love old things,” she says with a laugh.

She loves them so much that she’s running out of space to keep her collections.
“That’s a problem,” Waters says, explaining that her Washington condo and Los Angeles home are at capacity. She plans to start giving components of her collections as “special gift ts to special people,” including her two grandchildren.

Not surprisingly, the veteran lawmaker’s post-Congress plans include more shopping and collecting.

“I have this idea that, when I retire, I’ll travel, I’ll collect and I’ll sell,” she says. “I’ll have a little store.”

One key to Waters’s perpetually fresh look may be that she uses her time wisely. She says she has trained herself to relax and rest (and also read) on her coast-to-coast flights from her district to Washington. But there is one other trick Waters uses to always look her best.

“I bathe in moisturizer,” she says.

We apologize if this is considered harsh, but there ain’t enough moisturizer east of the Mississippi to make Maxine Waters beautiful.

Since President Obama has officially ushered in the Era of Apologies, we think The Hill owes one to its readers. A really big one.

The truth ain’t pretty.

Clinton said the money, which is part of a $900 million pledge she made in March at a donors conference in Egypt, was transferred directly to the Western-backed Palestinian Authority and would help it meet a budget shortfall.

Yes, a budget shortfall for the Palestinian Authority. Through no fault of its own, the cost of dynamite vests has risen dramatically. And the cost of rockets lobbed into Israel has…well…skyrocketed.

The [Congressional Budget Office] said it’s going be incredibly expensive … and the thing that I really am worried about is, if it is the failure that I think it would be, then health reform will be set back a long, long time.”

Now don’t get Scheiner wrong. He’s no conservative. In fact, he wants a more progressive approach to healthcare reform.

“His pragmatism is what is overwhelming him,” Scheiner said “I think he’s afraid that he can’t get anything through if he doesn’t go through this incredibly compromised program.”

Obama’s pragmatism? Forget everything we said in the above article. This Scheiner character is an obvious fraud who has never met the President.
