rssNRCC Pushes Alan Grayson ‘Controversy’

One week after Marin Cogan wrote a spot-on profile of Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.), the punchy freshman Democrat fulfilled her prediction that he would be “the first member to bring the blogosphere’s in-your-face style to Capitol Hill.” He gave a short floor speech on health care where he summed up the GOP’s as “Don’t get sick, and if you do get sick, die quickly.” The National Republican Congressional Committee has relentlessly hammered Grayson (a target in 2010) since then, aided by TV personalities who have been dutifully asking Democrats if they’ll condemn him.
The NRCC looks to be winning a PR victory, at least — The Washington Post gives Grayson on-the-one-hand-on-the-other-hand coverage, comparing him to Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.). This seems like the wrong comparison. In June, Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.) said that Democratic health care reform might lead to seniors getting “put to death.” There’s your comparison. It’ll be interesting to see how Grayson plays this.

I donated money to Grayson right after I saw his speech. That's the kind of straight talk we need in Washington.

Grayson is a douchebag. It's written all over that fat, douchebag face of his.

Republicans hate it when you tell the truth about them.

Great Job Alan! Do what the conservatives have been doing! You can “Believe” and “Fear” that this is the GOP plan, just like the GOP's foolish claims of death panels and illegals being given free care. Spot-On Job Sir!

Single-payer GRAYSON Single-payer
…It would have been just too damn expensive to remove all that asbestos from the Twin Towers…
As the 9/12 Tea Party looks into the events of 9/11 they have many questions concerning the Official Story.
They know not to trust the Government & Media.
Only the guilty fear inquiry.
An ill wind comes arising
Across the cities of the plain
There's no swimming in the heavy water
No singing in the acid rain
Red alert
Red alert

aww Batman, you wingers are so thin-skinned. Just like the school yard bully, you fold at the first sign of resistance and start crying.
