I just did a quick search from 2007-2010 and it seems to be related to ACA and of course Obama. Such crass language would never of been allowed in mainstream political discussion before Obama.

Balloon Juice also goes back to around 2010. http://www.balloon-juice.com/2010/03/22/were-gonna-ram-it-ram-it-ram-it-up-your/

I just hate that term being used for every single thing some one doesn't like in the political realm. That the MSM goes along with it just bothers me. I want a real 24/7 news network again. I wish Al Jazeera or BBC (barely) was on mid-tier cable rather than top-tier cable. Seems to me any station that actually has and educational value rather than reality t.v. is relegated to the top-tier. $80/mo. is enough for mid-tier, I can't justify any more than that for cable that is mostly crap programming. Even stations like Science which I once longed for are going to crap reality programming.
