Andrea Mitchell: You're Too Stupid to Know Obamacare is Good for You
July 31, 2009

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: This morning on MSNBC -- Andrea Mitchell, NBC News, Washington -- was discussing the new MSNBC Wall Street Journal poll that's not good news for Obama on health care.

MITCHELL: You've got 47% of the people at our NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll who have health insurance --

ANCHOR: Mmm-hmm!

MITCHELL: -- who don't like what the president's doing. The problem he's got, 47% of the people who have got coverage don't want change. They don't like what they're hearing. Now, they may not know what's good for them, but the problem is that he always knew he was going to have to persuade people with insurance. That's the largest inspect, not the people without insurance for expanding coverage. So they've gotta real problem.

RUSH: " They may not know what's good for them." That sums it up, folks. That's how the State-Run Media propagandizing for Obama. These 47% of the people who don't want it, they don't like it, they don't want any part of it -- and actually in most polls it's over 50%, but they may not know what's good for them. But that's still a problem for Obama. They may not know what's good for them. So, the conclusion is: Obama is brilliant. The plan is flawless. The plan is so good for all of us. We're just too stupid to know what's good for us. Andrea Mitchell calls herself a journalist. Remember when Bill Clinton in Buffalo said, "Well, the reason I'm not crazy about tax cuts is 'cause I don't think you'll spend the money as well as we will."

Do you remember that? We don't know what's good for us. That's a foundation of liberalism. You're too stupid, you're too ungrateful, you're too obtuse. You're too stubborn. You're just dumb. You don't know what's good for you. So Andrea Mitchell and Obama have to do everything for you. You're even too stupid to know what's good for you in the cash for clunkers program. We have to tell you what kind of car you can drive because you're too stupid to drive a real car!

'They May Not Know What's Good For Them'
By Mark Finkelstein
July 31, 2009 - 08:37 ET

The poor, benighted little people. They just don't understand what a wonderful hopey-changey world Pres. Obama is offering them . . .

Andrea Mitchell has suggested that the problem Pres. Obama is facing in selling his health care plan to Americans who already have coverage is that people "may not know what's good for them." [H/t reader Restless 1]

Mitchell made her condescending comment on today's Morning Joe.

ANDREA MITCHELL: You've got 47% of the people in our NBC/Wall Street Journal opinion poll who have health insurance who don't like what the president is doing. The problem he's got -- 47% of the people who've got coverage don't want change. They don't like what they're hearing. Now, they may not know what's good for them, but the problem is that he always knew he was going to have to persuade people with insurance, that's the largest number, not the people without insurance, for expanded coverage. So they've got a real problem.

Condescension seems to be in the MSNBC air. Yesterday, we noted Chris Matthews, surprised that Sgt. James Crowley could handle a press conference, calling him "our Susan Boyle." Now this.

MSNBCLSD is in the dumps. The higher ups are telling the “news” people to start insulting people to get ratings.

After Sarah Palin’s July 3 announcement, Andrea Mitchell was up in Dillingham to interview her and the family during the salmon run.
There’s video of Mrs. Mitchell rubbing ‘lil Trig Paxson van Palin’s back and smoothing his hair while He-Man daddy Todd is holding him.

I can’t help but wonder if Mrs. Mitchell understand just what care will be denied for beautiful, precious and innocent young’uns like Trig IF the Health”scare” legislation is passed.

She’s too stupid to know she is married to the man who will be known as the greatest financial terrorist in the history of economics.

Come on, wadda you old folks complaining about? Don't you know the democRATS "love" you old people? Obama DEATH CARE is wonderful! Besides, all you old and infirm folks have got to clear the playing field for the Obamessiahs legions of up and coming liberal generations.

What did you think was going to happen? YOU senior citizens overwhelmingly voted Obamessiah into power, YOU voted the democRATS into power in the house and senate. YOU wanted "hope" and "change" and sought it from a man that you knew was a socialist, marxist, anti-American, "Afro-centric", "Reverand Wright" black racist whos best friends are domestic terrorists.

Now that the democRATS are in TOTAL power and "in control" you need to do as your told; support Obama DEATH Care and OBEY the Obamessiah! So shut up, lie down, take this pill and DIE so that Obama can continue to make his "brave new world" WITHOUT YOU because your old and infirm and you COST TOO MUCH TO KEEP AROUND ANY LONGER!

AARP is completely on board and cheerleading for Obamacare. I say, if someone is an AARP member, they should just go ahead and stick their head in the oven now! They’ll get what they and AARP want, and they’ll save the rest of us a lot of money and possibly a violent revolution! Yeah, that’s it, it’s their patriotic duty to take a long walk off a short pier!

Good riddance!

What? Where is Marldorka Miszxckevcxi (or whatever her name is) on Morning Joe? I (reluctantly) worked as a TV Tech Director for the DNC last year and Mishinka (or whatev) kept checking herself in the tv monitors and really never listened to - or connected with - the guests. She doesn’t listen...she’s only thinking about what SHE is going to say next - and is only concerned with ‘not looking bad’. Ironically, at least to me and Freeps like me, she indeed looks phony and bad. Andrea is a fine replacement, if that is the case.

Liberals in their middle and senior ages better learn that end of life counseling could be coming to your home real soon. As for young liberals, if you have a serious costly ailment get in line cause it’s gonna be one long wait for your turn to benefit from the end of life counseling you so crave.

Andrea Mitchell can shove that pitted face of hers where the sun doesn't shine along with her opinions! The space shuttle could land on it and think it was the moon.

Okay, I'm getting really, really angry and nasty so I think it's time for her and her media friends to SHUT UP already. I will live my life the way I see fit and they can live theirs in their elitist smarmy ivory towers. I really don't care to listen to anything else from them.

It is very clear that they don't like normal people who just want to be left alone to live their lives and it's also clear that I don't like elitist media jack*sses who are losing viewers by the thousands so someone else must agree with me. I hope the media elitist jack*sses never figure out why they are losing viewers either.

SPIT!

I'll be more than happy to provide the boot, the foot in the boot and also the muscle to get said boot into that "somewhere."
These people need to be taken down and hard.
