From unions to healthcare, the trend is not President Obama’s friend. According to RasmussenReports.com, things are going south faster than a duck in December.

The economy must be even worse than we thought. We have a record number of Americans on food stamps and now the Democrats are resorting to cannibalism. An ObamaCare supporter bit off the finger of an anti-ObamaCare protester Wednesday at a healthcare rally in Thousand Oaks, California. All the way down to the second knuckle.

Darrell Issa, Republican congressman from California, has introduced a simple, one-page health care bill that average Americans will love and Democrat leadership will hate. “I have a simple bill,” Issa said
Darrell Issa, Republican congressman from California, has introduced a simple, one-page health care bill that average Americans will love and Democrat leadership will hate.
“I have a simple bill,” Issa said. “It is only one page that simply says, every American can have the same health care that Congress has without preexisting conditions, without any problem changing plans. It’s one page to give every American a choice of over 300 private plans that are all affordable.
Bottom line: If it’s good enough for Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, it’s good enough for you.
Is Issa insane? Why next thing you know, this lunatic will propose that the little people should get to fly around in fancy private jets just like Congress does.
A DNC group organizer tells them how to shout down opponents who get up to ask Rep. Jan Schakowski tough Obamacare healthcare questions. He even tells them how to deny others the right to speak at all.
Health Care for America is a front group of the Democratic National Committee. You know, the patriotic hypocritical organization that’s accused opponents of ObamaCare of being members of organized groups. Astroturfers, in the current vernacular.
What’s most remarkable about this video clip to us isn’t that the organizer for Health Care for America Now is so blatant. It’s that he doesn’t seem to care that he’s being videotaped outside a town hall meeting giving precise instructions to paid ObamaCare supporters.
He tells them how to shout down opponents who get up to ask Rep. Jan Schakowski tough questions. He even tells them how to deny others the right to speak at all.
One other thing: Please note that these “grassroots” protesters are being handed HCAN bumper stickers at the end of the video.
This video clip brought to you by Healthcare for America, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Democrat National Committee.
We’d never heard of Michigan Republican Congressman Mike Rogers before. But based on his scathing opening statement during ObamaCare hearings last month, we hope we hear a lot more of him in the future.

Abraham Lincoln said, “You can’t make a weak man strong by making a strong man weak.” And so what we’ve decided to do today is to abandon the very principles of America and say, “It’s so hard and it’s so difficult that we’re going to punish the 85% of Americans who have earned healthcare benefits as part of their employment. We’re going to punish them and the employers who give it to them to cover the 15% that don’t have it.
That doesn’t sound like a conclusion any of us would come to. Why would we punish the part that’s working to cover the part that’s not? It’s like taking a queen size sheet and trying put it over a king size bed. I will guarantee you that the corners are going to come up.”
We need a couple hundred more congressmen like this guy.
A story on my.BarackObama.com, the official website of the President’s Organizing For America program, refers to ObamaCare protesters as “heirs of Bin Laden.” It also uses terms like zealot-horde … misguided … easy-pickings for demagogues … spoon fed … false prophets … shameless … pawn.

It also uses terms like zealot-horde … misguided … easy-pickings for demagogues … spoon fed … false prophets … shameless … pawn. In other words, you’re somewhere between a terrorist and a moron.
Sam Bate, just outside Lubbock, Texas, plowed his a into a field of weeds. The former art teacher trimmed some weeds like a giant conservative crop circle, leaving a message that shouts, “Say no to Obama!” to anyone flying overhead.
Sam Bates farms a plot of land just outside Lubbock, Texas. He’s come up with an unique way to protest ObamaCare, but you can only see it if you fly over his spread.
Sam plowed his protest into a field of weeds. The former art teacher trimmed some weeds like a giant conservative crop circle, leaving a message that shouts, “Say no to Obama!” to anyone flying overhead.
“This is a sign of frustration,” Bates said. “You know, it’s not so much Obama, but just some of the things he’s done recently with the health bill he’s trying to pass through, and it’s just as much Republican and Democrats’ fault in the House and the Senate that won’t stand up to some of the things. That’s basically what’s frustrated me.”
“I thought, maybe some pilots flying from here to Dallas would get a good chuckle,” Bates noted dryly.
Anyone know if airsickness is covered by ObamaCare?
Congresswoman Diane Watson attacks Rush Limbaugh, insults the wealthy, praises Che Gueverra and Fidel Castro, lauds the Cuban healthcare system and she announces that opponents of ObamaCare are trying to destroy the first President who looks like her.
Someone alert the folks at the Guinness Book of World Records, because it looks like Diane Watson (D-Havana) may have set a world record for cramming the most stupid comments into one 2:45 sound bite.
Within that remarkably brief period of time she manages to attack Rush Limbaugh, insult the wealthy, praise Che Gueverra and Fidel Castro, laud the Cuban healthcare system and to cap off her tour de force, she announces that opponents of ObamaCare are trying to destroy the first President who looks like her.
Problem is, we’re not sure which President she’s referring to.
Is she saying we’re anti-black because she looks like Barack Obama or that we’re anti-Whig because she bears a remarkable resemblance to Millard Fillmore?
The torch has been passed. Teddy may be dead, but shameless socialist hucksterism is still alive and well in the Kennedy family. They actually sent Teddy’s young grandsons out to push for ObamaCare at grandpa’s funeral.

“For what my grandpa called the cause of his life,” one grandson said, “as he said so often ‘In every part of this land that every American will have decent quality healthcare as a fundamental right and not a privilege,’ we pray to the Lord.”
“For my grandfather’s brave promise last summer that, ‘The work begins anew, the hope rises again, and the dream lives on,’ we pray to the Lord,” another grandson said.
And then, being good Kennedys, they downed a couple Chivas & sodas and peeked up their girl cousin’s dresses.
The President and his minions would have you to believe that Britain’s National Health Service is the ideal toward which ObamaCare would take us. According to the Daily Mail, one of Britain’s leading newspapers, the country’s expectant mothers beg to disagree:

The President and his minions would have you to believe that Britain’s National Health Service is the ideal toward which ObamaCare would take us.
According to the Daily Mail, one of Britain’s leading newspapers, the country’s expectant mothers beg to disagree:
Thousands of women are having to give birth outside maternity wards because of a lack of midwives and hospital beds.
The lives of mothers and babies are being put at risk as births in locations ranging from lifts to toilets – even a caravan – went up 15 per cent last year to almost 4,000.
Health chiefs admit a lack of maternity beds is partly to blame for the crisis, with hundreds of women in labour being turned away from hospitals because they are full.
We’re embarrassed to admit that IHateTheMedia.com has been ripped off by Charles Davis, an Associate Professor at the Missouri School of Journalism. Davis thinks newspapers should create a “hate” beat to keep an eye on you angry Nazis who oppose ObamaCare.
Associate Professor Charles Davis will rue the day he screwed with IHateTheMedia.com
We’re embarrassed to admit that IHateTheMedia.com has been ripped off by Charles Davis, an Associate Professor at the Missouri School of Journalism. We’d feel a lot better about it if we’d been ripped off by a full professor, but alas, that was not meant to be. We were ripped off by a mere Associate Professor.
Davis thinks newspapers should create a “hate” beat.
Of course, the “hate” he’s referring to is that displayed by you angry Nazis who oppose ObamaCare:
The shrill incivility framing what passes for discourse on health care reform seems to have long ago crossed over into territory unrecognized by most rational citizens of the republic.
In the age of instant cable punditry, e-mail Astroturf campaigns left and right and made-to-order outrage, it’s easy to sigh, close the old browser and get back to the business of preseason football, but scratch a bit harder at the random news offered as so many one-off stories about unhinged denizens from the “town hall” meetings (has ever an honored democratic practice been so tarnished?), and a clear trend emerges.
Hate, shuffled off stage in the post-racial haze of the election of the nation’s first black president, is back with a vengeance. Hate, if it ever truly threatened to leave the political stage, is most definitely back, larger and nastier than ever.
As a near-absolutist First Amendment advocate, my prescription for hate speech is always more speech: Give the bigot a microphone as big as the hatred, I say, and watch as the marketplace of ideas works its magic.
Perhaps that’s why I worry, as I watch an emboldened mob grow more irresponsible with each passing day, that the mainstream media fails to give hate the coverage it deserves today.
My proposition is simple: Major news organizations need to cover hate the way they once did — as a standalone beat.
We hate that idea. We hate Associate Professor Davis. We hate the fact that he’s tenured. We hate his tie. We hate his pants. We hate his university. We hate its football team. We hate its cheerleaders. We hate its fraternities. We hate its lousy weather.
Back off, Associate Professor Davis. Hate is our turf.
There she goes again. Nancy Pelosi better muzzle ultra-liberal Representative Jan Schakowsky (D-Beijing). She keeps spilling the beans on the Democrats’ real plans. “I ask what is the point? {of kicking out illegal aliens)”

“I ask what is the point?,” Schakowsky asked. “How is this helpful in anyway to destroy families and to destroy lives and to rob ourselves of the talent, of the taxes, of the work, of the education that these individuals stand to gain?”
Ahhh, what the hell. Let’s just put a Welcome Wagon on the border, give every Mexican citizen a social security card, an ObamaCare card, a citizenship application and a voter registration card.
How can you tell that town hall protesters are sincerely angry? Simple. They even show up to vent at Republicans senators who agree with them. Like Tennessee Republican Bob Corker.

ABC-TV has refused to run this anti-ObamaCare television commercial despite the fact that it’s running on other TV stations across the country. Take a look and we think you’ll agree there’s nothing objectionable about it. Unless, of course, you disagree with what it says.

Of course, this is the same magnanimous television network that turned an entire night of its valuable primetime programming over to the President a few weeks ago so he could hype his socialized medicine scheme.
Turning down a commercial is an especially puzzling decision since network television rating and revenues have slumped substantially. Money be money. Yet ABC declined to take the income it would have earned by running the commercial produced by the League of American Voters.
Where’s that damn Fairness Doctrine you we need it?
The Greatest President In History recently said that ObamaCare could end up just like the post office. That he should use the post office as a success story boggled the minds of even his supporters.
Take a number. Get in line. Shut up. We'll get to your heart attack when we're good and ready.

Ray, who frequently comments on stories here at IHateTheMedia.com, lives in Orange County, California. He sat down and dashed off this email after visiting the post office in his upper middle class planned utopia:
“Went to the post office today. Took a number. There were about 20 people in front of me. Only two windows open out of five. One person behind a kiosk to sell postal paraphernalia with no one buying. The local postmaster was out front asking people if he could help. One employee standing behind the two windows just watching (he looked totally stoned). People with lots of little packages, lots of questions, or couldn’t speak English, so each person took loads of time.
“Tempted to go “postal” and ask why they just didn’t open up more windows. Took 35 minutes of standing around before I could mail my package. Should have gone to UPS or FedEx and paid the additional charge.
“Another time I was in line at the main Irvine post office on Sand Canyon. Standing in a long line when all but two clerks decided to go on break at the same time. Then one of the remaining clerks closed her window and proceeded to change the ink cartridges in all the pens which are attached by little chains.
Zack Lane, a polysci major at asked the University of Colorado Bolder not only hit the President with a tough question, but challenged him to go mano-a-mano in an Oxford-style Debate.
If you’re President Obama, you show up at a town hall event confident that your people have packed the audience with friendly faces. And then some damn college kid stands up and asks an Econ 101 question that exposes you as the fraud you are.
That’s exactly what happened at President Obama’s Town Hall Meeting in Grand Junction, Colorado when Zack Lane, a polysci major at asked the University of Colorado Bolder not only hit the President with a tough question, but challenged him to go mano-a-mano in an Oxford-style Debate.
Uh-oh. The Canadian Medical Association believes the country’s system is “sick” and needs help from the doctors to cure it.
“We all agree that the system is imploding, we all agree that things are more precarious than perhaps Canadians realize,” said Dr. Anne Doig.
Uh-oh. The Canadian Medical Association believes the country’s system is “sick” and needs help from the doctors to cure it.
“We all agree that the system is imploding, we all agree that things are more precarious than perhaps Canadians realize,” said Dr. Anne Doig. The doctor added that it’s a little thing called sustainability that’s causing massive problems with the Canadian health care system.
She added, “We know that there must be change. We’re all running flat out, we’re all just trying to stay ahead of the immediate day-to-day demands.”
Why, they’re even uttering the unutterable: They want private insurers allowed back in the Canadian system.
It’s almost like our neighbors to the north were adopting a free enterprise system. Or something.
The Democrats have filibuster-proof majorities in the house and the senate and yet ObamaCare died a deserved death yesterday because it was so abhorred by the American people.
The Democrats have filibuster-proof majorities in the house and the senate and yet ObamaCare died a deserved death yesterday because it was so abhorred by the American people.
Senator Kent Conrad, one of one of the lead Democrat negotiators trying to hammer out a bipartisan compromise on the Senate Finance Committee, called further work on a government-run healthcare plan a “wasted effort.” He said the so-called public option doesn’t have enough votes to pass.
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius suggested the White House is ready to accept a health care reform package without it.
Even President Obama raised the white flag when he casually mentioned that the single payer option was never something he insisted must be in the final bill.
Sure, the Democrats will attempt to get something passed to placate their far left base, even if it bears no resemblance to the socialized medicine program they wanted. But no one will be fooled.
ObamaCare features mandatory “end of life counseling” for seniors every five years. Monty Python helps explain this is a very complex concept.
ObamaCare features mandatory “end of life counseling” for seniors every five years. This is a very complex concept and many people wonder exactly what it means.
It’s all explained in this clip from “Monty Python and the Holy Grail.”
Thing is, when Monty Python explains it, it’s funny. With ObamaCare, not so much.
Wacko Democrat Congresswoman Shiela Jackson-Lee was grilled by CNN anchor Rick Sanchez grilled her about taking a phone call while a constituent was asking her a question at a recent town hall meeting.
A woman comes home from work early and finds her husband in bed with a beautiful blonde. She screams, she cries, she gets hysterical.
Her husband calmly gets up out of bed, puts on his clothes and walks downstairs to the kitchen, where he pours himself a glass of milk, sits down at the kitchen table and drinks it.
“I want a divorce,” the wife screams. “I can’t believe you had sex with another woman in my bed.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” the husband says. “I’ve never had sex with another woman.”
“I saw it with my own eyes,” the wife screams.
“Who you gonna believe,” the husband asks, me or your lying eyes?”

Paul Krugman, the New York Times Nobel Prize-winning columnist and left wing lunatic, is wrong again. This time, about the Canadian socialized healthcare system.
Paul Krugman, the New York Times Nobel Prize-winning columnist and left wing lunatic, is wrong again. As usual.
During a healthcare debate at Rockefeller Center on September 16, Krugman decided to demonstrate the superiority of the Canadian healthcare system. He asked all the Canadians in the audience to raise their hands. Seven hands went up in the air.
That’s where Krugman should have stopped. Instead, he asked how many of our northern neighbors think they have a terrible healthcare system.
Investors Business Daily editorializes about the lucky Cubans and their universal healthcare system. Everyone is treated equally, which is apparently a Spanish word that means “poorly.”
Ahhh, the glories of the Democratic People’s Republic of Cuba.
Investors Business Daily editorializes about the lucky Cubans and their universal healthcare system. Everyone is treated equally, which is apparently a Spanish word that means “poorly.”
… CNN is presenting Cuba’s socialized health care system as “a model for health care reform in the United States,” according to a report on the cable network last week. The report credits low cost and universal coverage.
“How does Cuba do it?” gushed the CNN anchor. “First of all, the government dictates salaries. Doctors earn less than $30 per month — very little compared to doctors elsewhere. And priority is given to avoiding expensive procedures, says Gail Reed (a contributor to the Cuban communist party propaganda organ Granma), who’s lived and worked in Cuba for decades.” Continue reading “Do you really want universal healthcare just like Cuba?”
