First her sister gets run over by a reindeer and now this? I bet she regrets giving him that butterscotch now.

horsedreamer_1 May 25, 2011 at 1:01 pm: Wasn't Werth it, you could say.

edgydrifter May 25, 2011 at 12:08 pm

I know this is fake, because he didn't take her purse or rip out her gold crowns before pushing her off the cliff.

Callyson May 25, 2011 at 2:02 pm: This was the Breitbart edited version. In the unedited version, he cleans our her safe deposit box and the shoebox under her bed as well.

Once again, every Democratic Congressional challenger in 2012 owes a huge thanks to Paul Ryan.

NorthStarSpanx May 25, 2011 at 12:33 pm: We did need these Tea Party upstarts in a mid-term Congress to give us a taste of their medicine.
Nothingisamiss May 25, 2011 at 12:53 pm: If they only, by God, use it. And so many, many of them won't.
Guppy06 May 25, 2011 at 1:10 pm: Tea Party: helping ensure Democratic victories by mediocre candidates since 2010!
BarryOPotter May 25, 2011 at 2:27 pm: Once again, every Democratic Congressional challenger in 2012 owes a huge thanks to Paul Ryan.

PR: "Thank you! Thank you! No, no, you are welcome! Look, I'd love to take all the credit for helping the Democrats, but in truth, I couldn't have done it without the sustained cluelessness of my fellow R-tards, whose douchebaggery, verily I say, knows no bounds…"

Chillwaver May 25, 2011 at 12:20 pm

It should've been a scooter, not a wheelchair. Then there would be a very slight chance that Teatards would get it.

__kth__ May 25, 2011 at 2:23 pm: yes! only Paul Ryan character removes the battery while the scooter is on a railroad track. Cut back and forth between oncoming frantically-whistling freight train and scooter blob helplessly twisting throttle (or slamming joystick forward, whatever actuates the thing).

Palin laughed and laughed

elviouslyqueer May 25, 2011 at 12:22 pm

Oh yea, that Eric Cantor. Full of heart, he is.

Oblios_Cap May 25, 2011 at 12:29 pm

"No individual has come forward to pledge the $3B required to rebuild Joplin".

Really? I would have thought the Cock Brothers would be there with their wallets open by now.

Texan_Bulldog May 25, 2011 at 12:36 pm: There's not much oil in Joplin.

freakishlywrong May 25, 2011 at 12:45 pm

Asshole should only open his mouth to change Kochs.

hooray4anything May 25, 2011 at 1:17 pm

Every day it seems like there's some new totally ridiculous and totally awful thing the Republicans say or do and each day I keep on saying, "that's it, that'll be the thing that makes the American voters vote every one of them out of office" and every day I realize that nobody's really paying attention and out of those who are, a significant portion of them think it's "just common sense" or whatever FOX tells them. If we were a serious country, Cantor's remarks would get him tar & feathered and the GOP would have to give up on MO for the rest of the Century but that probably won't happen because it rarely ever happens.

And thus endeth my coffee-fueled Rant of the Day.

elviouslyqueer May 25, 2011 at 1:20 pm: If we were a serious country,

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

imissopus May 25, 2011 at 1:51 pm

Wasn't it just yesterday that the right-wingers were all up in arms because Obama was over in Ireland sipping Guinness while tornadoes were trashing Missouri? He should call into Limpball's show and say "I would have come back to help but Eric Cantor said he's not going to give out the money to rebuild Joplin anyway, so what do you want me to do? Might as well stay over here and get drunk."

Arken May 25, 2011 at 12:23 pm

Death panels are bad. Killing seniors en masse is good. God bless America.

freakishlywrong May 25, 2011 at 12:25 pm

Douchebag did a "What? privatize Medicare? Me? I'm saving it" tour this a.m. With media like this, it's no wonder we're headed for class war.

bureaucrap May 25, 2011 at 3:05 pm: Freakish: Ya know I love ya', but what do you mean "headed for"? We've been at war for years. Weren't you around in 2001 for the first volley — "9/11 tax cuts for the rich"? The only reason we're not fighting in the streets now is because "American Idol" isn't finished for the season yet.

Biel_ze_Bubba May 25, 2011 at 12:26 pm

GOP = Grandma Over Precipice

HempDogbane May 25, 2011 at 1:21 pm: brought to you by GOP Chair Rinse Prepuce
LouBristol May 26, 2011 at 12:18 am: mind blown.

BaldarTFlagass May 25, 2011 at 12:26 pm

That's very subtle.

GuyClinch May 25, 2011 at 1:13 pm: Isn't it, though? About as subtle as a Code Pink rally.
V572..whatever May 25, 2011 at 1:20 pm: Do we think that subtlety is the characteristic most successful in political advertising? I give you Death Panels, the Death Tax, Swift Boat Veterans, birth certificate, etc.
Monsieur_Grumpe May 25, 2011 at 1:31 pm: Subtle as a hand grenade in a barrel of oatmeal.

Yeah, I klnow, I've used it before.

Oblios_Cap May 25, 2011 at 12:26 pm

Best that those old fuckers (other than me) die, and quickly, and decrease the surplus population!

memzilla May 25, 2011 at 12:31 pm

Geez Ken, you posted this like we've run out of ice floes or wolf packs or liquid Nembutal or dry cleaning bags or all the other viable Rethuglican alternatives.

Radiotherapy May 25, 2011 at 12:32 pm

You dumb libs, if granny would only have had a Glock.
Arm the elderly!!1!

ShaveTheWhales May 27, 2011 at 3:06 am: I am!!!11!!!

baconzgood May 25, 2011 at 12:34 pm

I've never run, or held a public office and even I know DON'T FUCK WITH OLD PEOPLE!!!! They are the only ones who vote.

NorthStarSpanx May 25, 2011 at 12:36 pm

She's the one that had the nerve to get old, be wheelchair-bound, worth less than $28 grand a year but costing taxpayers (of which the richest 1% is not a part of) Billions.

GOP says, let em crash.

Grief_Lessons May 25, 2011 at 12:38 pm

Funny they're called The Agenda Project. It's hard to tell if they've got an agenda or not.

SayItWithWookies May 25, 2011 at 12:47 pm

I'd like to say the Republicans got this idea from all the practice they had in Iraq throwing puppies off cliffs — except they never went there, so they probably just saw the YouTube video and got inspired.

Sue4466 May 25, 2011 at 12:51 pm

Ryan said this morning that the problem is people don't understand that this doesn't affect anyone 55 or older. Once "the American people ™" understand he's only trying to fuck over those under 55, they'll completely embrace his plan.

As an under-55 person, I say fuck you Paul Ryan.

freakishlywrong May 25, 2011 at 12:58 pm

Yeah, because I've only paid in to it for 36 years. And my asshole hurts already. American can't afford lube.

Maman May 25, 2011 at 1:13 pm: Oh, you fancy with lube
V572..whatever May 25, 2011 at 1:23 pm: And that's another reason this idea will fail. Social Security is capped at the first $110K of income or so. Medicare tax starts on the first dollar you make, and goes right to the top, so the high income Riches pay more. (The truly deserving wealthy who live off dividends and interest are of course exempt from all but the least of our taxes, 15%). They'll be all the madder if Ryan replaces Medicare with a gift card.
JustPixelz May 25, 2011 at 1:26 pm: So here's the rhetorical dilemma — if you "paid into it" and "it's your money", then you should be prepared for the possibility that you didn't pay enough; that you'll need to pony up some more dough after age 65. But if Medicare is "a promise we made to our seniors", then those under 65 will need to pony up some more dough. Unless medical care gets cheaper.

hooray4anything May 25, 2011 at 1:10 pm

Considering how well the Republicans thoroughly trashed the economy, thus ensuring that Medicare will be the only thing allowing me to live past 65, I'd like to join you in that Fuck You.

easynewz May 25, 2011 at 3:41 pm

I'll make a prediction that the 'real' oldz will be just as confuzled by the Ryan plan as they were with Barry's HCR and punish the GOP. Most of them actually remember FDR when he was alive and (maybe not) kicking. The only problem is the Diebold machines.

Nothingisamiss May 25, 2011 at 12:55 pm

Ken…thanks.

Please, can this be run in all states in 2012? With a word other than "privatize" 'cause that's a big word that teatards think is good, somehow, even if they can't define it.

freakishlywrong May 25, 2011 at 12:56 pm

Uh..that's our bearded overlord, Ken. He of the banhammer.

Lionel[redacted]Esq May 25, 2011 at 1:03 pm

He's just saving her from a Death Pannel.

XOhioan May 25, 2011 at 1:06 pm

Hey fuck you, Grandma. You voted against gay marriage, immigration, and probably every school or library tax levy in your district.

I am directing this not at my 85 year-old liberal mother or her ilk, but at most of the selfish bitches in her church and card group. They live frozen in some idealized vision of the past, like the 50s were a walk in the park for women. Bunch of Tea Party cunts.

Bonzos_Bed_Time May 25, 2011 at 2:00 pm

You do have a point there…

Cicada May 25, 2011 at 2:03 pm

Ryan's plan keeps Medicare for all the olds. It just wipes it out for everyone under 55. The GOP is really counting on the olds to throw the youngs over the cliff on this one.

ThundercatHo May 25, 2011 at 2:06 pm

We used to live in the NE Ohio snowbelt and our tiny school district had a great strategy of holding all levy elections in Feb. when all the seniors were off getting skin cancer or too afraid to drive. Passed every one.

BaldarTFlagass May 25, 2011 at 3:04 pm: That's almost Machiavellian in it's brilliance.

Guppy06 May 25, 2011 at 1:09 pm

Haven't you heard about the rising costs of healtchare? Those things are expensive!

Guppy06 May 25, 2011 at 1:11 pm

Died with John Brown.

metamarcisf May 25, 2011 at 1:15 pm

When Ryan becomes president in 2024, he will initiate a fleet of vehicles, designed like our animal control trucks. These will be used to round up seniors wondering the streets in search of their long-deceased pets.

horsedreamer_1 May 25, 2011 at 2:08 pm: Thank God noted GOP stooge Charlton Heston won't have lived to see this.

JustPixelz May 25, 2011 at 1:22 pm

I thought Ryan was just sending us to Carousel*. After seeing this documentary, I'm against his plan.

easynewz May 25, 2011 at 3:53 pm: Oh man, Logan's Run. That really takes me back. I had one of the infamous Sarah Faucet posters with the word 'sex' airbrushed into her hair on my wall, back in the day. Not that any teen male would need the subliminal message to get all hot and bothered….

Monsieur_Grumpe May 25, 2011 at 1:28 pm

This is what happens when you cut funding for death panels.

Bonzos_Bed_Time May 25, 2011 at 1:29 pm

We're too distracted by having to give up on gay men, squat in a semi-constructed exurb in the desert, and avoid over-educated vampires that are involved in multi-generational art mysteries.

__kth__ May 25, 2011 at 1:54 pm

Paul Ryan would never do something so wantonly sadistic as push invalid granny over a cliff. He'd merely go back to the car "for the sandwiches and iced tea", and drive off and leave her to the bears and wolves.

Negropolis May 27, 2011 at 3:18 am: That's the compassionate part of "compassionate conservatism"

hagajim May 25, 2011 at 1:56 pm

♫♪♫ Oh Beautiful, watch Grandma fly, over the fruited plain…♫♪♫

Those boys (GOP) sure figured out how to put the CAN in Republican…as in can toss the olds over the cliff….funny, funny, funny.

Bonzos_Bed_Time May 25, 2011 at 2:02 pm

Well I accept your pee, even though I neglected to include Sarah's big head in there somehow…

BarackMyWorld May 25, 2011 at 3:08 pm

Republicans are going to being really fucking pissed about this ad for two reasons:
-it shows them literally murdering someone;
-they didn't think of it first.
