Far left Agenda Project founder Erica Payne defended her group’s latest GOP-bashing ad showing grandma getting thrown off a cliff. She said it was a moral issue to keep spending money we don’t have.
Apparently, to the far left, it’s not a moral issue to leave your children with massive debt they can’t possibly pay off. It’s only a moral issue when government talks about cutting spending – never mind the fact that Obama added nearly a trillion dollars to the national budget in three years. Remember when dealing with the left, there is always a selfish motive behind their words.

No matter how much you like the Ryan Plan, Pat Toomey’s Senate Budget signals that the GOP will put aside the house version and Medicare will remain untouched.
Otherwise 2012 would be 470 versions of this ad running non-stop all across the nation.

You have to have one sick mind to do a commericial that throws grandma off a cliff all the whilst fighting for her life. The democrats would rather they decide who gets thrown off the cliff or not, and I would imagine the rate of Republicans flying off cliffs will be high.
Sickofobama commented:
If Boehner and the other RINOs had any credibility they would come out and tell the old people that it’s Obama who is pushing granny over a cliff.
That he’s the one who cut 1/2 billion from Medicare.
That he’s the one who said granny should take a pill instead of getting surgery.
God I cannot stand it that we are stuck with a bunch of pansies in office who are afraid of Obama the man-child.
I wish Rush Limbaugh were in charge.
Ricky Rickson commented:
These braindead idiot leftists don’t understand that if we don’t start cutting back, the ENTIRE system will collapse and NOBODY will be supported! Get it idiots? huh?
The idiot in chief’s healthcare plan is already forcing major rationing. I’ve seen severe cutbacks in what even insurance companies are covering in the last year. last few months they deny even seeing specialists after surgery. All because of the human wrecking ball
Our country is being destroyed right in front of our eyes. Can you imagine 2 years ago that it would get this bad, this fast? I don’t know about you, but I’ll run through a minefield if necessary to vote against this idiot
Coastal commented:
Sick, sick, sick! This represents a small number of people that would get their kicks on using the elderly for something like this. The Medicare Hims and Hers are our precious people and they should be treated with respect and admiration as well as those that worked hard all their lives not to have to be on Medicare.
Hey Erica Payne, lets watch you go over a cliff when you get old! Shame on you, dont you feel that pang in your gut when you have to defend your absurd thoughts on this commercial and that it is ok? Your sick.
Radegunda commented:
#3, you’re exactly right. It’s ObamaCare that’s taking things away from seniors already. The Ryan plan takes nothing away from seniors. NOTHING.
Obama is the one who told someone that maybe his/her elderly mother should not have gotten the pacemaker that had already given her several more happy years of life, because she was old, you see, and somebody should have told her it might be better just to “take a pain pill.”
Obama’s callous response was quite revealing. But the Dems would excuse him even if he shoved his own grandmother off a cliff.
Radegunda commented:
Ricky #5, if Obama were merely in idiot, things would not be so dire. The problem is that he combines pigheaded ignorance with malevolence.
tommy mc donnell commented:
i’m on medicare and my insurance plan was changed this year. this years plan has reduced coverage and more decisions on my medical treatment are being made by the insurance company instead of my doctor. the reason obamacare. what the democrats are counting on is that most americans will never know about the reductions unless they need to see a doctor. does anyone know how i can apply for one of those waivers?
gus commented:
A nice touch would have been to use a BLACK Grandma!!!
regularguy commented:
Yup, numbers 3 and 6, if the GOP can’t use the very actions of the left against them, they deserve a bad fate. The left constantly throw us bones and nobody has the gonads to hammer them back with them.
gus commented:
are all of Nancy Pelosi “waivered” companies throwing their employees off a bridge or something.
This will backfire. It’s a bridge too far and it’s been done to death.
WJoyO commented:
I can’t believe there are seniors who cannot see that the Democrats have ALREADY killed Medicare. They’ve cut Medicare’s budget by over $500 billion; they’ve spent billions and run up debt that threatens to destroy our country; and they’ve lied about the cost of Obamacare. They’ve created the Death Panels by establishing the IPAB who will operate just like the NICE does in England. They’ve appointed Berwick as the Head of Medicare during a Congressional recess.
I’m on Medicare and it makes me so mad when people say that I shouldn’t complain about Obamacare because I’m already covered by socialist medicine. Personally, I hate Medicare BUT DO I HAVE THE FREEDOM to choose not to take it? If I don’t take Medicare, I’m not eligible for Social Security. Just remember — the Democrat/Socialist’s long term goal is to have a single payer system where the government in effect determines who lives and who dies. The Democrats DO NOT CARE about seniors or poor people — they care only about power. I prefer to have the freedom to be responsible for my own healthcare — I support Paul Ryan’s plan and pray it gets passed.
gus commented:
WJoyO, Ryan is a Republican. HE’s evil. You should see the commercial they are running against him here in WIsconsin. A Catholic Priest is claiming he isn’t PRO-LIFE, because he isn’t for government spending.
Molon Lobe commented:
Exactly what social spending would the Democrats cut? Foreign Aid? The Department of Energy? The only thing they can say is cut the military. If you eliminated the military you wouldn’t meet 20% of the required spending.
The Left has no answers, no options, just more lies.
gus commented:
Molon, they have painted themselves COMPLETELY into a corner. Fortyyears of failed SOCIAL PROGRAMS, specifically designed to keep their CONSTITUENTS POOR.
They’ve gone full COMMIE. They are a disgrace, as are their supporters.
donh commented:
These leftist are such true ideologocal masters of Marxism they have made this film to allude to the famous Odessa Steps scene in BattleShip Potempkin which glorified the communist revolution in Russia….The scene where the baby carriage gets pushed down the steps. Republicans pushing the wheel chair are thus the evil Russian capitalist Romanovs…. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=euG1y0KtP_Q
Old Fan commented:
Brian O’Connor?
I appreciate your passion, but it is always more respectful to stay on target – or at least reference the issue first, before offering your own insight on a different topic.
Besides, your offering seems intent on a jump first to see the Republicans at the worst, it mimics fashionable concepts which aren’t really based on the actual reality. I guarantee a number of the Republicans in the Senate know full well Medicare needs reform. I also imagine they are savvy enough to consider the Ryan offering in an objective manner. Yes, there are those like McCain who will enable the worst, but the majority are not as bad as the fashion suggests.
In regards to Mr. Hoft’s fine post, what can one expect?
Democratic Partisans are such awful failures, terribly incompetent, pushing disastrous policies, they have nothing else to offer except to try to sell hatred, bigotry, fraud, divisions. Exploiting the Elderly? No problem for the unethical likes of Pelosi, Reid, Schumer, Boxer, Waters, Clinton, Gore, etc.
Recently I was shown an email send out by Menendez, the liar who sits in the NJ Senate Seat, who claimed he was voting for the removal of tax incentives for Oil Companies for he so concerned about the high cost of gas. What a joke. This is the same crook who wanted to raise taxation on gas, was pushing cap and trade insanity, refuses to let the oil companies drill, even knows full well that advertised sophistry in the Senate was not going to do anything but raise gas prices.
No, the Democratic Party has grown so insane, it is so lost in personal partisan greed, it cares little if it destroys all. They simply cannot be this stupid, no one could really be this dumb.
Pushing Elderly Americans off a cliff? That is what the Democrats have been doing for years, for their own pathetic gain.
It is sickening.
Ricky Rickson commented:
@ 16
Wow. How’d you figure that out so fast? This is obviously a hidden message to commies who have a dvd collection of all things communist. Of course, sans the death camps and the forced starvation.
They are certifiable. I hope none of them has ever exchanged goods for money or they are nothing more than capitalist pigs! Hipocracy! !!!11!!ELEVENTY111!!!!!!
gus commented:
Old Fan. Their lies have become obvious. Everything they have ever promised has proven to be a lie or a disaster. They have nothing left. They’ve gone …FULL COMMIE.

Wittle gusy –
I’m on your side moron. I’ve got to try to add humor sometimes or I’ll have a heartattack with what this idiot of a president is doing to us all
jc commented:
Why aren’t these lamebrained, cowardly Repubs coming out full force and refuting these dumb*ss Dems and their horribly distorted ads re these budget plans? My guess is that they are not jumping for joy over Ryan’s plan even though he’s the only one who took the time and worked hard at putting some sort of workable plan out there. Where would they be without that plan right now? They are such a party of midget minds that they have already given back most of the good graces the public gave to them in the Nov. elections. Geez we have the most screwed up bunch of panty-waists trying to run this country. Where’s our champion? When is he/she going to step up and do what’s needed to grab this country and start the process of saving this nation? Who will lead us?
valerie commented:
How about a Beavis and Butthead review for this? It’d be cheap, and get the point across.
save us commented:
Isn’t obamacare going to do exactly what the ad depicts? Between Medicare cuts and death panels old people don’t have a chance.
an observer commented:
I saw this “ad” on Cavuto who had Payne on as a guest. I don’t think I have seen a bigger stone, cold, hardened bitch as her.
Frankly, my first response was one of white-hot anger. I have read, listened to, and seen blatant lies from Democrats before. But this one takes the cake. This is evil. This must not stand.
“America is at that awkward stage. It’s too late to work within
the system, but too early to shoot the bastards. On the road to
tyranny, we’ve gone so far that polite political action is about
as useless as a miniskirt in a convent.”
- Claire Wolfe, _101 Things To Do ‘Til The Revolution_
It is time to stop playing nice, to stop being polite.
If you’ve read Breitbart’s book, you already know that the enemy is the media as well as the Democratic Party.
It’s time to push back.
contessa61 commented:
Well then. It is time for the GOP to make political ads showing children with ball and chains around their ankles full of debt.
Peter M Gatliff commented:
Something needs to be done with our lousy healthcare system. For the last 50 years its been nothing but a “Polite Genocide of the American people”.
Cal commented:
“If Boehner and the other RINOs had any credibility they would come out and tell the old people that it’s Obama who is pushing granny over a cliff.
That he’s the one who cut 1/2 billion from Medicare.”
That lie’s already been tried, wingnut. Repeating it won’t make it any more true, and more importantly it won’t distract Americans from the fact that the Ryan Plan abolishes Medicare.
Gail commented:
I’m sorry but isn’t this whole sick video some form of elder abuse in addition to being unmitigated harrassment! This is fear mongering at it’s worst! My God liberals will stoop to anything! This is disgusting and should be banned from the airways!
Rebellious Kafir commented:
Why is anyone shocked? If the left doesn’t care about ripping innocent, unborn children from their mother’s womb, what would make anyone believe they care about shoving granny off a cliff—figuratively or literally. Its always interesting how the left will show us exactly what they would like to do by accusing conservatives of doing the very same thing. I suppose that is called “deflection”?
squeaky commented:
i don’t know about tossing granny off a cliff but you have to admit a lot of obama’s policies aren’t granny friendly. all the basics of life will be out of granny’s reach. when barack is sitting in the oval office with the heat cranked granny is sitting in a warming center. when barack is sitting in a well lit room granny is sitting in a cold dark room. all the newly unemployed are draining some of the same programs granny depended on. at $4 a gallon for heating oil, granny is in trouble and i think the increased need for oil affected joe kennedy’s citizens oil [which makes me wonder if they were able to pay him his 6 figure income]. and then there’s the cost of food and the increased run on food pantries.
Andreas K. commented:
It’s not really “horrible”, it just shows how they really think: If you don’t have the “proper” opinion, you get exterminated.
First they blow up kids for their fight against “climate change”, then they throw grannies off a cliff.
That’s simply following the left wing spirit. Look at history. Whenver there was a socialist regime, the same things happened. Those, who didn’t “fit” into the socialist philosophy were “exterminated” or “re-educated” or received “special treatment” (Sonderbehandlung.)

Lynching ads are next.

Trotting out what Jim Wallis a SOCIALIST says as validity to destroying America? Good move Erica, you just showed the world how much you hate America.
Don Rodrigo commented:
The Stupid Party seems incapable of putting up a good fight when the Evil Party lies. Why are the Repubs such putzes? Why isn’t there a crop of Lee Attwaters at the GOP’s disposal?
commonman commented:
Stupid party is right, maybe we need a third party after all.
jaxparrothead commented:
The solution is not to cut back Medicare, the solution is to expand it, open enrollment for everyone who wants it. The fatal flaw with Medicare is that everyone who receives benefits is either elderly or already ill, the benefits paid out to those 2 groups of people are the highest benefits that insurance pays out. There are no younger, healthier people in the system. If you widen the eligibility pool you widen the risk pool.
More money would go into Medicare (the premiums paid by the new subscribers) but the cost per member would decrease (because you would have millions of younger, healthier people using the system). Get rid of the Federal Employee Health Plans and put Federal workers into Medicare (including Congressman). Allow the individual states to enroll their workers into the program too. In fact, you could probably get rid of Medicaid and put those people into the new Medicare program and save billions every year in administrative costs if nothing more.
