1. Excellent

they littered too

[Bolo Boffin]

2. Oh, is THIS what the Republicans got crazy about?

They followed him, demanding that he come back and apologize. The Speaker had to firmly remind them to address their comments to the chair. I wish I'd been paying better attention at the time.

[Bozita]

3. Short, sweet, simple. Superb!

[2Design]

4. This is one hell of a rep and I am so glad I voted for him - he is

all he cracked himself up to be - we got what we paid for unlike the rest

[tomm2thumbs]

5. ''YOU DIE !!!!'' instead of ''You Lie !!'' - maybe that was what was the plan all along

Looks like it.

[valerief]

27. Yeah, and instead of "No" it's "Go" as in "Go toward the light." nt

[Overseas]

43. Good one ! /nt

[Joe the Liberal]

6. Lol that's perfect, I wish there were more Dems like him. n/t

[mascarax]

7. Finally! Now we understand the Repub Plan

It's simple. And true.

Thank you, Rep. Grayson.

[BetterThanNoSN]

8. its sad...

This is how Democrats are supposed to respond to Republican BS. Alan, you are the freakin man! I also saw him grill a Fed lawyer, he is relentless. Alan, please, please, don't stop.

[GirlAfire]

13. Agreed and Welcome!

"This is how Democrats are supposed to respond to Republican BS."

This. If they were all so spirited and much less conciliatory, we may be going somewhere.

And, also, welcome to DU! :D

[BetterThanNoSN]

30. half the story

I've been watching Hardball and he's doing the Grayson story now. OK now, if MSNBC is the lib station on cable(supposedly) why when doing this story, do they leave out the first piece of Grayson's floor speach. They are going right to when Grayson says the Republican's plan is die quickly. It doesn't even make sense by itself. The first part of the plan was 'don't get sick'. Why leave that out? Maybe it only bothered me, lol.
Anyhow, thanks for the wc!

[NewJeffCT]

34. well, Hardball/Chris Matthews goes whichever way the wind blows

Welcome to DU, by the way.

[Turborama]

[seattle_blue]

16. Perfect recipe..

That's it Democrats! All you have to do is show-up, show a little spine, and tell it like it is. That's all we ask of you. Let this video be a "teaching moment."

[indimuse]

17. Bravo!

KNR.

[Joanne98]

18. YOU DIE!

[Grassy Knoll]

19. Death panel this, a-holes !!!!!

[ronbo60]

20. Dem John Larson (202-225-2265) condemned Alan Grayson

We've tried equivocation and appeasment - but John Larson holds Dems to a higher standard than all others. Ask John Larson if he also condemned others for saying similar things....

(presented on daily KOS)

Take Rep. Ginny Brown-Waite (R-Fla.), who said in July: "Last week, Democrats released a health care bill which essentially said to America's seniors: drop dead."

Or Rep. Paul Broun (R-Ga.), a doctor, who reviewed the public health insurance option in July and diagnosed that it is "gonna kill people."

Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.), not one to pull punches, suggested on the House floor that Congress "make sure we bring down the cost of health care for all Americans and that ensures affordable access for all Americans and is pro-life because it will not put seniors in a position of being put to death by their government."

July was a busy time for House floor death sentences. Also that month, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas), noted: "One in five people have to die because they went to socialized medicine...I would hate to think that among five women, one of 'em is gonna die because we go to socialized care."

Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) had a similar assessment. "They're going to save money by rationing care, getting you in a long line. Places like Canada, United Kingdom, and Europe. People die when they're in line," he said on the House floor in July.

41. Thanks for the recap....of course, the Dems always want to be

so bloody conciliatory/bipartisan/fill-in-the-blank (other words come to mind!). BS.

I just caught the end of Grayson on CNN. He must be making the rounds! Cool. The Dems need to stand up. Grayson did. Good for him. We need him (and more).

[Juan_de_la_Dem]

21. K + R.

[seattle_blue]

22. Great video

I'm tempted to go turn on Faux "news" just to watch their reaction..You know how much republicans HATE to be exposed for who they really are. They HATE it!!!!! But I'm still not going to go watch fox...

[Triana]

23. GOOD Show Alan Grayson! n/t

[swilton]

24. Finally, the Democrats show some spine!

Go Grayson!:applause:

[seattle_blue]

25. Give 'em hell

Reminds me of the Harry S. Truman quote:
"I don't give the republicans hell; I just tell the truth and they think it's hell."

[valerief]

26. Man is telling the truth there! Bravo.

:applause:

[tosh]

28. Dems, take note! This is how it's done! nt.

[Loki]

29. Now this is my kind of Democrat!

Give 'em hell Alan. :patriot:

[katty]

38. me too!! MORE OF THIS STAT!!

[Laf.La.Dem.]

31. Thank you for posting

Good to see at least one guy on our side with balls:toast:

[Barack_America]

32. The best god-damned commercial we could've asked for.

And much thanks to the Republicans for advertising it.

I may not have heard it without their help!

[Uncle Joe]

33. I believe the good Congressman summed it up quite well.

Thanks for the thread, FLAprogressive.:thumbsup:

[Willo]

35. I sent him an email thanking him. Then I call Larson's office

and asked that he not use his voice to request an apology from a Democrat speaking the truth to Republican lies.

[penndragon69]

36. K&R

He nailed it in one!

[katty]

37. Honesty?!! WTF?!! How refreshing!!

[gtar100]

39. Go Alan!

[Mithreal]

40. Die quickly, but only after we take all your money.

Dying before all your money is gone is a terrible waste.

[Turbineguy]

42. Great!

succinct.

[AsahinaKimi]

44. wow...

Just watch the wing nuts turn this around on Fox News to make it say the Democrats say.. Don't get sick or die quickly.
After all Republicans and Fox News will tell you, if its good for America, be against it..If its not true, make it a lie..if its a lie, make it true!

After all, the Republicans live in an alternate Universe where right is wrong, and wrong is right! Where up is down, and down is up.. where there is no left... just only right.
