As you can imagine this ad has inspired quite a lot of criticism:
"Beau McCoy hit a new low," Democratic executive director Dan Marvin said, demanding that the Omaha state senator take down his ad.
"No matter what party you belong to, the depiction of violence displayed in McCoy's ad is completely disrespectful to the office of the presidency and sends the wrong message to our children."
The new ad, in which McCoy expresses his opposition to the Affordable Care Act, known as Obamacare, and particularly to its proposed expansion of Medicaid coverage in Nebraska, stirred some critical traffic on Twitter throughout the day.
Responding to Democratic objections, McCoy said Nebraskans are "tired of being pushed around by the Obama administration and the federal government."
"We as Nebraskans know a one-size-fits-all mandate like Obamacare is the wrong approach for our state, which is why I led the charge this legislative session to oppose Medicaid expansion in Nebraska," McCoy said in a written statement.
Well I guess when people in Nebraska are dying because there was no Medicaid expansion in their state they will know exactly who to blame.
Maybe one of their surviving family members would like the opportunity to backhand Mr. McCoy much like he did to that President Obama doll.
I know I certainly would.
""We as Nebraskans know a one-size-fits-all mandate like Obamacare is the wrong approach for our state..."

Translations: ""We as Nebraskans are drooling morons, otherwise we would know that the opportunity to craft our own state exchange, designed with the demographics of Nebraska and the needs of Nebraskans in mind, would have enabled each Nebraskan to choose the right health care plan for their family and their finances and to enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing you won't have to choose bankruptcy or death if misfortune should happen to you.
President Obama's success is sending the nut jobs over the top crazy. Imagine that, people want affordable health care. The Tea Bag/John Birch Society Koch addicts keep proving their love of a fetus and hatred for women and children. Hope these superstitious freaks yap their way into political extinction.
ReplyDeleteWe had a field day with this asshole over at Wonkette yesterday. What a douche!
ReplyDeleteI have a great idea for Nebraska. Follow the example of your fellow Republican states and just teach creationsim in the schools. Be sure to dumb down their studies so that none of your kids have a chance of getting into a good university, medical school, dental school, engineering program, or anything that will lead to a fulfilling career. Their lives will be so miserable they won't mind dying early. They will be too dumb to realize that other people in other states are leading rich, fulfilling lives.
ReplyDeleteANd please put up that wall around Nebraska - no morons out, no ideas (or federal money ) in.
DeleteOT Message to Sarah Palin
ReplyDeleteHey, Sarah (she addresses everyone like that).
Look at Trig's birth certificate and see what date it says that he was born. You've been telling us April 18, but you didn't wish him Happy Birthday. So, please, check his birth certificate and see what the real date is. I forgot, too. Also, too, Anchorage or MatSu? How long was he in prenatal care?
And how long was he in PICU with his heart problems before you left the hospital with him and then dragged him into your non sterile office pretending he was three days' old? Come on Sarah, we won't tell anyone.
DeleteThe talk about town is that the states who refused funding of health care will be having a difficult time comiing up in November. Gov's. , senators and congressmen.
ReplyDeleteI almost can't listen or watch anymore.
ReplyDeletewhat a pathetic, sniveling little mental midget...he makes most 5th graders look mature.
ReplyDeleteHey! Let's not drag fifth-graders into this.
DeletePretty soon this fuck won't have Obamacare to kick around any more. No matter how consumed with Hate some Nebraskans may be, they're not going to vote against their secret affordable health insurance. Talk is cheap.
ReplyDeleteThe Republicans just cannot stand the success of our wonderful President Obama!
ReplyDeleteThis guys is a friggin' asshole!!!
Yep! And his party is gonna take it square up the ass come 2016. Blue tsunami.
DeleteLowlife scum. I hope he's visited by the Secret Service.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't a huge fan of a few presidents in my time, but I still respected the office. Once elected, like it or not, he or she is everyone's President.
ReplyDeleteGee, what's different about THIS President from all the other Presidents before him?
R_CE May I buy a vowel, Pat? I'd like an "A"!
The Affordable Care Act is a Success even if you call it Obamacare, because he does! ,
No one likes bullies and Pres. Obama doesn't not appear to act like one to me. This guy has one stick up his butt and that is to discredit a good thing for all people. Many times you have to drag people kicking and screaming to the Dentist, Doctor, hospital, school.....you get it. But in the end people are better off and mentally and physically healthier.
ReplyDeleteI've had it up to here with the disrespect.........both for President Obama,and his wife.........these fucking people.....can kiss my ass.I can remember being shushed in the cafeteria at work because I spoke loudly being critical of the KKK........whereupon I stood up and said it even louder........bring it....
ReplyDeleteYou know he really wanted to be on the horse shirtless like his mentor Putin. GOP have a mancrush on Putin and really wish they can be like him.
ReplyDelete5:38 I so agree with you! It's way past time the rest of us stood up to the bullshit the Republicans/supposed Christians have been putting out there since President Obama initially ran for POTUS and won TWICE! He's doing a hell of a job in spite of the jerks and I'm very, very proud of him! Plus, his being half white and half black is wonderful! The fat, white Republican guys had better get use to it as they are going to be in the minority in the not too distant future.
ReplyDeleteHopefully, many of the assholes will have succumbed to a natural death and will have been quieted FOREVER soon!
Nebraska and Oklahoma! Who would even want to live in either of those two states? Republicans and/or Christians - totally overloaded w/both. Yuk!!!
