Rep. Alan Grayson Discussed on Countdown with Keith Olbermann

[AlwaysRight213]

You're Sick

[paulozmer]

Suck it Olberman

[bsd300d]

HAAAAAAA, fucking loser gets owned and loses his job for being a fraud.

[uchihaangelus]

@bsd300d Yeah, a loser who was fighting for the ppl losing his job. That's a good thing right ? Idiot.

[bsd300d]

@uchihaangelus I'm sure you can tell him how much you love him the next time you're at the car wash. Don't be said that he was a total failure.

[splicedenergy]

@bsd300d Yes, for one single solitary day. Dont count your chickens before they hatch. We're coming for ya!

[LAECOPARTY]

Let them eat cakism. Brilliant!

[DRDNIBOY]

GRAYSON IS AWESOME!

[dmkwils]

@DRDNIBOY Obama butt kisser. Wait till Nov. we will stop Obamageddon.

[DRDNIBOY]

@dmkwils See that goes to show you how simple minded you are. I DONT EVEN LIKE OBAMA! But dont you think you are being unpatriotic by trying to stop the president of the USA? Hmmmm? When Bush was in office and people protested we were told to shut our mouth because we are being unpatriotic. Now that the president is a democrat you behave differently. Could you be any more gullible? Could you possibly follow fox news rhetoric any more? Think for yourself for a change.

[uchihaangelus]

@dmkwils Yeah Obamageddon. Ooh wait. There's no such thing. Idiot

[splicedenergy]

@dmkwils You failed by the way. Nov came and went, you're an idiot. Senate and President rules. If you think gop has something, they got something to hang you with.

[dmkwils]

Grayson lost. ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh so sorry@splicedenergy

[splicedenergy]

@dmkwils So what? No one including myself is thinking about grayson. Olbermann is. Grayson is from FL. Thats not my state. I live in VA. Are you stoned?

[uzimodem]

wow, couple of genius' here...lol 

[mrREDBIRDFAN]

If Grayson gets sick it's a good bet that he will have a whole lot better health insurance then you me or the Vast majority will ever have. By the way fuck off Zsa. Zsa. Is keith dead yet? I hope.

[hiiamrick]

I think that Grayson hasn't been bought off like the rest of the Democrats. To bad today The lobbyist have bought the American congress.

[y4m5m5]

Keith Loserman is the best person to rally republicans and tea party people. Keep it up Keith!!!!!

[hiiamrick]

I just wonder why when I see the tea parties in action there is so much HATE? Kinda remindes me of the people standing in front of the schools in America denying children education just because of their skin color. Kinda stupid you know.

[y4m5m5]

i know a few "tea party people". they are no racists or mean. all they really want is to stop government spending, cut taxes, and tell the Washington people... leave us alone. They want states to rule. They hate the obama care bill so much that they will vote against and work to defeat any one who votes for it. oh i'm a tea party person.

[hiiamrick]

But you do have racist with you. As for Obama care, Just where were y'all when Bushit passed MEDICARE PART D? By the way Obama has to pay for it! Y'all are just full of shit. Where were y'all when Bushit started a war on error and paid for it with tax cuts for the rich? When the Oil companies made more profits than any company on the face of the earth. Kiss my ass. Sorry I'm having a bad day. Nothing personal.

[hiiamrick]

Just like a true idiot racist you punk out when youre faced with facts that you cant explain with you silly ass lies. Tea party my ass just like Fixed News. You rant and rave but in the end your just one more sorry person spewing hate and evil. I even bet you call yourself a Christian. Yet you spew your filth. You call for freedom but can't stand anybody that disagrees with you. Peace out and go clean your klan robe. Kinda depressing that me a blackman am smarter and richer that you.

[y4m5m5]

you must be a democrat. we will bury you in nov. obama is toast. yes i am a Christian. I am not a racist. You think every one who is against Obama is a racist. I like Obama except for his Marxist muslim Acorn politics.

[hiiamrick]

Just like a Republican.You attack me personally. You don't know me and I know everybody against Obama are not racist. But all racist are against Obama. I found it amazing how you use those three words together " Marxist, muslim, Acorn politics". For one idiot, Marxist are atheist, you cannot be a muslin and an athiest also. As for Acrorn, I hope that pip looking bastard gets ten years for trying to wiretape a Senator. I bet you don't have a clue about what I'm talking about? Lean 4 yourself.

[hiiamrick]

Yea I am a Democrat. But too bad they are bought off also. I used to vote for the person not the party until the Republicans forced a war on error on America. I told myself that if no WMD's were not found somebody should go to jail. I guess the rich can and will just keep on shitting on America. All they have to do is keep Americans divided on silly issues so we all cannot join together and solve our own problems. Republicans and Democrats are not the real problem the rich few are.

[todd234343]

You are just an idiot-plain and simple!

[hiiamrick]

Where were you tea party people when Bushit forced Medicare part D on us? Oh I guess Republicans huge spending just doesn't count. How do you hate Obama, when Bushit huge spending came due when Obama took office. Obama saved America and paid for the Republicans out of control spending. Now all you can see is skin color viewed with eyes tainted over with hate. Peace out my friend Obama will save you too.

[SWAT616]

@hiiamrick Typical liberal response...call anyone who disagrees with you racist. Very original.

[hiiamrick]

@SWAT616: Well a typical Republican response is? Oh I forgot they have to listen the the racist and dope abusing rants and of Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck, before they are told how and what to think. Go research issues for yourself.

[SWAT616]

@hiiamrick I don't listen to Limbaugh or Beck. I find them as intolerable as Keith Olbermann.

[AllAmerican1964]

@y4m5m5 Keep it up trooper, we will take back our country again.

[uchihaangelus]

@AllAmerican1964 And put back what in place ? They're NOT going to have NEW policies. They don't have new practical ideas. They DON"T answer to you.

You're a fool if you think the GOP is going to help you but hey, this is the fun part. Watching your own vote fuck your world :)

[AllAmerican1964]

@hiiamrick Excuse me sir, but where do you see hate from these people. These people care about the direction of our country is going and this administration is running us off the cliff and sticking their nose up at the American people. Enough is enough, we will win in November, and then you can move to Venezuela, and be with

that asshole Hugo Chavez, big banana eating bean farting motherfucker.

[MrClawson9]

haha. "Republicans wanted him to apoligize, so he did and ripped them another new one"

[lesterwink23]

Joe Wilson's outburst, however unprofessional, was out of spur-of-the-moment emotion. Grayson's remarks were premeditated and obviously done with the intent of making of name for himself. He is a grandstanding, hateful, mean spirited and egotistical buffoon and I have a strong feeling he will be a one-and-done hack like our current commander-in-chief. Neither man has any business being in their respective offices.

[djpitchperfect]

DON'T GET SICK!! LOL

[ChipDunkle9781]

"remarks were premeditated and obviously done with the intent of making of name for himself. He is a grandstanding, hateful, mean spirited and egotistical buffoon"

Sounds like Grayson should be Democratic correspondent with Fox News with credentials like that!

LMAO

[hiiamrick]

@ChipDunkle9781: I will be happy and surprised when the Republican party and their media mouths, will stop resorting to personal attacks and just try to debate the issues. Damn Republicans hate their fellow Americans as much as the middle eastern terrorist hates America.

[sjenkins88]

GO GRAYSON - stand up to those f**king c*nt licking rePUKElicans.

[ebayer201]

LIBERTYTREE60, go fuck yourself and go fight "for our freedom" in Iraq, or wherever you can go to get as far away from us as possible, you shit-for-brains!

[LIBERTYTREE60]

@ebayer201

"Strong and bitter words indicate a weak cause"- Victor Hugo. So far you are very weak.

FYI- I was not for the Iraq war! Sorry, you have the wrong person. You must not have read my profile.

[LIBERTYTREE60]

Comrade Grayson! All the Dems want to do is make the USA the United Socialist States of America. To borrow a word from Comrade Obama's former Pastor, the Rev. (Wrong) Wright, Dems are CHICKENZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ­ZZZZ! You are an idiot!

[lisabob22]

You are pathetic and a mindless lemming.

[LIBERTYTREE60]

Thanks. You have a great evening, too!

[EMPERORMIKI]

OMG! Soundbite ClusterFox ... my head is going to explode.

[ellabella271]

Grayson is fantastic. A+. Win.

[ASentinel2]

Americans are dying because they have fatal illnesses like emphysema from smoking, cancer, etc...

Not because they don't have health care.

Even Obama's health care is not good enough to save someone's life that is fatally ill.

30,000 people die annually from the flu for crying out loud...you can get up there and say anything if you frame it to support your point.

Grayson's a liar. Call him and tell him.

Alan Grayson Washington, D.C.

(202) 225-2176

(202) 225-0999 (fax)

[lariokie60]

Did you leave your brain at home, wingnut? What the hell are you talking about? Yes, 30,000 Americans die each year from the flu. And, half a million die from tobacco related disease--not all are smokers, but die from second hand smoke. Now tell me, nutball, how that makes a case AGAINST universal health care? Indeed, I have called Grayson's office and pledged a campaign contribution. Thanks for the phone number, Nazi.

[dontliethetruth]

sorry but a harvard study of 2009 clearly disproves your opinion.

the deaths are (lack -of-)insurance related

[SuperEric39]

I applaud Grayson for having the balls to stand up and tell the truth and not trying to pander to a group of people who have no conscience and only care about making money for corporations. The President should take note and stop letting those people walk all over him and do what he promised to do.

[LIBERTYTREE60]

SuperEric39- He has BALLS? I do not think so! This guy is NUCKING FUTS. He calls a woman a whore and then apologizes for it under pressure. He is not remorseful. But he is full... it! He, like his president, denies Fox News an interview and tries to have someone removed from a public place? He hits the alphabet networks (like obama!) Why not Fox? Thank God I do not live in the 8th Congressional district of Florida. Grayson is a wanna be. His political days are numbered!

[lisabob22]

who cares if his political days are numbered, Grayson speaks the truth. if you don't like it go crawl back under your rock and watch fox news for your fix

[sherpaswami]

I love Alan Grayson! Keep it up and step it up a notch!

[independent684]

What Are You Talking About Knuckhead. Your Living Proof You Can Get Pregnant Thru Anal Sex. And Instead Of Smacking You, He Smacked Your Mother And Told Your Father, Well We Did All We Could But It Pulled Thru Anyway But Thanks For Your Comment Will Keep It Under advisement

[spudaso]

remember kids, if you're aborted, die quickly!

[nela04]

WTF?

[independent684]

XHAGAST, Just The Son Of A Bit_h I've Been Looking For,Got Your Little Email Jeb, Good luck First The Country Might Not Be Able To Recover From Jr's And Sr's Lack Of Respect For Our Nation, And Their Greed, Pieces Of The Economy Must First Be In A Pile Before Anybody Should, Or Try To Crawl Out Of Some Government Funded Oil Hole. Between NAFTA , And The De-Regulation Of The Economy, That Should Just About Wrap It Up For The Bush's And The Clinton's And The Crazes Their Saying Their Republican

[Wolffanator]

The reason it's not the same, What Grayson and Wilson did; is simple. It was Grayson's turn to talk and make a speech, Wilson yelled out like a moron in the middle of someone else's speech. It doen't matter if people don't like what he had to say, he had the floor and so did Obama, Wilson has his own time to do his own thing as well but apparently he's just a sceaming ape with no self control.

[Wolffanator]

Who cares if he said holocaust.

[nela04]

jews like to hear that word, gives a nice sound to anything

[Wolffanator]

They probably do, but I think muslims like to hear that word even more, Especially people that don't like some of the policies of Israel, etc. They like to compare whats happening to them to the holocaust, which in my opinion just isn't accurate at all. When you say jews who do you mean? Israelis? Jews in America who are ethnicly jewish but don't believe in ridiculous ancient desert skygods like Israeli jews and Muslims do? I don't know what that means.

[Wolffanator]

The way I see it, the newer the religion is, the worse it is. You got Judiasm which is western religion 1.0, then you got Christianity, version 2.0(with an extra added oppression package) and then you got western religion 3.0, Muslims. When I see a woman in a bee keeper suit, I just think to myself, "Wow, so this is what it's come to"....

[vertualsurfing]

The right wing republican 'sheep' are really so stupid, it's imperative to make charts which spell out what they are doing...For the ignorant among us, there's a simple 'no-fail rule' to live by: "If big business and overpaid CEO's like it...IT'S A BAD THING FOR AMERICA!"...Live-it, Learn-it, Know-it!...or just look in the mirror & repeat: " I-WE-TOD-DID"...or just get the tattoo!

[johndeming3]

why does rep grayson remind my of john c reilly?

[independent684]

What are you worried about. Jeb bush will soon be crawling out of some government funded oil hole and will fell he is born to run and the bush bootlicker tour will be off and running. and people wont have to look @ their stupid no sense one liners 1st time shame on you 2nd time shame on me.3ed time, well lets just say people are not that stupid.Or are they

[xhagast]

Ooooh, they ARE!! Imagine Obama fixes everything, the GOP dumps the crazies and Jeb rallies the party. Remember, Clinton left with a surplus, peace and the world respecting the US. Nobody in the US was worried about much. In 2016 complacence in the Dem side, a revitalized GOP and right-leaning indis could give the presidency to Jeb. Who was popular in Florida and still is. The Dems could try to run ANOTHER black or a woman. Too much for the indis...

[countess16]

TY, Mr. Grayson! STAY THE COURSE!!!

[samsonofjesus]

he is a stupied pig a dog he should be put in a cage.

[secretchristian]

03:25

Unique meaning?

Native American holocaust and American Indian holocaust, are these good enough for you, Arianna Huffington and Keith Olbermann?

Is this a more appropriate useage of the word holocaust.

One of 2 things: You never learned of America's mass slaughter or reckless destruction of life; You are spawns of the controlling elite, refusing the truth of America's holocaustal history.

[diezungen]

republicans are terrorists who murder Americans for profit.

Thank you Rep. Grayson for speaking the truth about these anti-American conservatives.

[holidayhouse03]

I think grayson got that idea from the Indians.

American Indians are provided healthcare by the government as per the treaties that have been signed and they have a saying on the reservation:

"Dont get sick after June." By that time in the fiscal year all the money is gone.

[jaroncreed]

cheneygottagun, that is an interesting story, but what does that have to do with Alan Grayson or healthcare, or Olbermann, or ANYTHING in this video??? This video was about healthcare, Grayson, the holocaust , and a discussion...

YOU ARE A FUCKING IDIOT, NEXT TIME....

STFU

[chuckarama451]

Too bad Florida... I've been watching your new representitive very excitedly. He has seemed like he was actually going to transcend party politics and rhetoric and actually be an emerging, effective leader.

Mr. Grayson makes some assumptions. First is the fact that the he assumes the opposition thinks that something must be done in the first place, and so criticizes a lack of a plan. Second is Republicans have already shown us their plan when they grew the Medicare insurance program.

[Kushmotif]

Alan Grayson WILL HOLD YOU ACCOUNTABLE! Grayson is a GENIUS!

[Standup091]

Hey Keith,

How are your ratings? I can't stand to listen to you, so I shut off the sound. You still look like a raging rabid Bull full of shit. I understand NBC-MSNBC are having some issues. You might want to send your resume to Irag. Since your so Anti-American, you will fit in a tent real nice.

[Yankhadenough]

Sit down

[Standup091]

Yankhadenough,

Brilliant response. You sound just like a Grayson guy! Bravo for your ignorance! LOw on FACTS. fancy with sarcasm! (not) Sweet Sheep!

[Telexkrash]

Hey Standup091

Before you insult people, you should learn to spell.  Oh wait, I forgot that you're a Neanderthal.

[Standup091]

Hey Telexkrash,

Sure got your attention though! SUCKER!

[LittleRedMenace]

Really? Arguing about the use of the word "holocaust"? Really?

[SDS4BO]

Dems trail in gubernatorial races.

Just like 1993.

Come on demagogues, step up the rhetoric. You're driving the blue dogs away in droves. THANKS!

[Seleucus84]

Holocaust definition = any mass slaughter or reckless destruction of life

[Yankhadenough]

Of course, reading between the lines, the GOP plan is really , don't file medical claims and die quickly , for the sake of profits.

[Yankhadenough]

Ya'll , get over the holocaust thing, Grayson is Jewish

[C2apostle]

The word "holocaust" preceeds "The Holocaust".

Please don't conflate Rep Grayson's greatness with thin-skinned Jewish people.

[cotullaguy]

Arianna is such a tool for mass media...she is so ready for the bombs to hit Iran. stupid bitch traitor.

[Wolffanator]

This guy is awsome because he acting just like the republicans are to give them a taste of their own medicine. It's really an easy thing to do.

[ojoscriollos]

Yes, except Grayson happens to be telling the truth, while Republicans tell nothing but lies!

[Wolffanator]

I agree.

[cxavier68]

"Holocaust" should only be used for the Jews? They have earned the reputation of being greedy for money. Now they are earning a reputation for being greedy for words? What next? The word "slavery" is now reserved for just black americans, and anyone using that word to describe anything else should apologize for it? These news shows are employing the biggest pussies. If this is what most white americans are thinking, they are fucking weak. Stop making nothing into something.

[Zeldovich]

All Republicans, their families, anyone they may be associated with, and any of their supporters should all be killed.  We need a final solution .

[Peacetoyouandyours]

We need more Democrats like Rep. Grayson. Weak Kneed Reid and TAB Pelosi need to be replaced.

Peace.

[zardoz765]

A small point but still, Grayson said holocaust not "The Holocaust".

[Melpheos1er]

yep the word holocaust is in the dictionnary and it just means a massive killing. I understand jews position yet The Holocaust does not give them a right to appropriate a word.

[bootpdx]

stupid Keith and Arianna - it's holocaust, small h!

[superc]

STFU ARIANNA! IF GRAYSON DIDN'T USE HOLOCAUST you PEOPLE WOULDN'T EVEN COVER HIM IN THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA. THANK GOODNESS FOR GOOD PUBLICITY!

[PraetorianPAX]

ALAN GRAYSON FOR PRESIDENT!!! He had the BALLS to say what everybody had in mind!!! and to say it in front of the fear mongering republicans, they started with the "death panels" saga, ecoed by the retarded Palin alike who now is revealing what she was after... money

By the way: "holocaust" uncapitalized refers to mass death and it is not a copyrighted word for the Jews, but if it causes stir in some... then try the word GENOCIDE instead!!!

[sevhreshtak]

Alan Grayson for President! I love him to pieces!!!!!!

[gcoste]

In a way I do blame it on the dems because they are the majority now and if they would have some balls like rep. grayson maybe some things would get done. But the truth of the matter is they are in bed with the insurance companies and lobbyists as well. that's why most citizens do not trust politicians period.

[ojoscriollos]

How right you are. I won't vote for them anymore, unless I can vote for Grayson or Kucinich...

[trooper40below]

Rep. Grayson. Thats my homeboy right there.

[newbombturk99]

Crazy Libs can pass any bill they want but are too scared and chicken!!! Blame your leaders in office for health care failure it's true.

[MrBravesfan]

Grayson for President

[jopaddy81]

Grayson for Prez, I agree with you. You should have seen him on CNN. He called republicans Neanderthals

[DiverseLA]

That was great. I could call them a lot worse.

But Alan Grayson is now my favorite politician. I look forward to him beating Republicans over the head with the truth in the future.

[ojoscriollos]

Yes, indeed. Thank you, Orlando! I wish Rep. Grayson could whip the pathetic Blue Dog Dems of La. into shape. They're collaborating with the knuckle-draggers, and resemble them. Yes, Mr. Obama, either do right, or step aside and let Rep. Grayson give us some real leadership. How much more could we be demoralized. Thank you, Congressman Grayson. Where have you been all our lives?

[ojoscriollos]

It's an absurd notion that the word holocaust is reserved for the WWII Holocaust of millions of Jews and other "undesirables." This argument is one neocon Charles Krauthammer has been making for years. He thinks the word genocide is also "borrowed" from the Holocaust. Making such words unique to one event and religious or ethnic group provides cover for other crimes against humanity, which should include deliberately denying Americans healthcare when the means exist to save them, i.e. *us.*

[WorldBFree2006]

oh fuck you and the horse you rode in on.... where was your outrage when grover norquist compared estate tax to the holocost? or how about when cole stated on the house floor that not re-electing Bush would be a vote for a second holocost? or when these tea-baggers were painting hitler mustaches on pictures of obama? or when rush limbaugh compared dems to nazis? i don't suppose the word holocost was "reserved for the wwII jews then.

[ojoscriollos]

You seem to be deficient in language skills and critical thinking, major threats to the security of our nation, since it allow fascism to creep in from two directions, as is always the case.

[DiverseLA]

I was wondering the same thing.

I don't see why critics said Grayson was comparing it to The Holocaust of Jews by Nazi Germany.

Anyone that looks in a dictionary will see that the word "holocaust" uncapitalized refers to mass death, in any particular form. And therefore Grayson used this word in the correct context.

[lakermangmx]

I agree. But olberman is probably jew, and jews like jumping onto the holocaust bandwagon anytime.

[ojoscriollos]

Olbermann, Maddow, Brockaw, & others consider themselves language police, but they're journalists, not English majors. But their opinion matters more than anyone else's. Republicans, however, desperate as they are, played their full Holocaust suit. All it's done is to plant more firmly in the public mind that the death of over 1 million Americans in 25 years due to lack of insurance is indeed a sacrifice to corporate greed, a holocaust, *this* holocaust.

[DiverseLA]

Brockaw is the only one that's a journalist. Olbermann & Maddow are commentators.

[ojoscriollos]

Olbermann majored in communications (journalism). Maddow has a doctorate in political scientist. As commentators/analysts and as hosts of mass media programs and authors of print media columns, they're working in the field of journalism, and are professional journalists. My point was their curricula ordinarily don't incude a lot of concentration on language and literature. Those are very different disciplines. Brockaw is probably a Mockingbird.

[DiverseLA]

Regardless of what their degrees are, a true journalist reports the news without offering any opinion or analysis of their own. So you can make the argument that they work in the broader field of mass communications & even journalism, they themselves are not true journalists in the conventional sense.

[ojoscriollos]

All, including Brockaw, are in broadcast corporate media. My point was and still is that all of their emphases, including Brockaw's, were politically biased rather than objectively considering language usage. They're all in the business of molding public opinion, which has always been the primary aim of mass media. Corporate media are ideologically occupied by Israel, which partly explains the self-conscious bias on the use of the word holocaust. Watch Peace, Propaganda, & the Promised Land.

[maskedphrogg]

You are confusing *insurance* with *health*. One does not expire from "lack of insurance*

Insurance is not a healthy diet nor does it protect one from unhealthy habits. It pays for the treatment from having ignored partaking in a healthy diet and health promoting activities. I save $1000's in Health Care costs every year by eating well and healthy food and participating in health promoting exercise.

Neither am I a Rep or a Dem, go figure :-P

[SergejEisenstein1]

unforuntatly a "healthy diet and health promoting activities" do not protect you from all illnesses nor accidents. It increases the risk for the latter.

And dont forget even a non-smoker can get lung-cancer ;-)

[maskedphrogg]

Sorry, but that's a matter of opinion.

Please don't charge me (taxes) for your unwillingness to accept the costs of your own health care.

If you would like to pool resources with others in order to lessen the personal impact should any in your group need aid in excess of what you can afford please feel free to do so. Let's be honest here, you want EVERYONE to join your group plan. I'm looking for my freedom to OPT OUT!

[pause to C chan]

wtf? you're not even american, interesting channel though

[SergejEisenstein1]

while i do understand this standpoint it has (empirical) 1 problem:

What if you pay less if you support the unhealthy lifestyle of some people, than if you support only healthy lifestyles? The American healthcare costs are simply ridiculous, over 16% of GDP! Huge external costs caused by the lack of coverage (not only uninsured but also those who are insured but have to pay copayes + untreated people). The american system is simply extremly expensive while failing to provide healthcare for many

[maskedphrogg]

And there's the rub.

I agree, 16% of GDP is substantial. However, instead of lowering the mean cost of providing Health Care throughout the pop. by promoting and rewarding healthy lifestyles this admin, as in the past, would rather "stay the course" and continue subsidizing a system that ensures a that large pop. is under served & providers overpaid.

[SergejEisenstein1]

sure, the proposal is not ideal, in terms of preventive care the NHS for example is topnoched. The Scandinavien countries too.

Of course it would be very good if this became part of Healthcare reform, however it actually wouldnt do that much. The main costdrivers are

1. Overhead (for Insurance and Providers)

2. Payment structures -> payment according to proceedures not results.

Both things have to be adressed first and are for more important to the desaster than healthy/unhealthy lifestyle.

[ojoscriollos]

No one is confusing insurance with health. The way things stand now, being without health insurance or being under-insured limits one's access to health care. Yes, there are preventative measures, and you should consider yourself lucky as well as proud for managing to develop a healthy lifestyle. Maybe you're not a Republican, but you think like one, because you think luck of the draw has nothing to do with your condition. You're obviously single and have no children or other dependants.

[tooldruid]

Alan Grayson = a hero is born....

[ryanshaunkelly]

Rachel sure did have a big problem with Grayson's use of a word...

She sounded just like an AIPAC Neocon "dishing out the punishment"

Honesty compassion intelligence guts?

We have an ongoing American Holocaust.

Do you still want to believe what they told you about 9/11?

The guilty are busy importing private mercenaries to hide behind.

[jcisbell]

Holocaust has been extensively used to reference WWII and the Jews BUT, it is a word in the vocabulary. It does not just refer to Nazi Germany. If someone wants to use it, they should. Grayson is my new hero.

[nkosev]

Go go Alan , screw them over , again and again !

You are one of the few that actually speaks the truth, ugly truth and someone HAS to say it!

[trauts01]

Rep. Grayson,

Thank you for standing up for us.

everytime I get frustrated standing in line at the VA I think of how fortunate I am to be blessed with health care, and I thank you and the American people. I am disturbed that televisions in common areas are locked to FOXnews channel or nothing. Oh and the guys who complain about socialized medicine and in the same breath say they don't use private insurance because they can't afford it.

[meninadrc]

I appreciate Alan's use of the word "holocaust" - the definition of the word is condemning a bunch of people to die ~ in this case the un & under-insured.

I second the post below - love that point about caring for American's *even after they're born*

[sgeo2008]

Hang in there Mr. Grayson. My only objection to the healthcare is the fine that is to imposed on those who don't have healthcare. Where is the line between those who can afford it and those who can't? What about those caught in between? What if they can't afford it, yet they don't qualify for free healthcare?

[elwalvador]

Hahaha that was fucking great, "We should care about American's even after they're born" haha, take that you fetus loving, embryo fondling, Anti-choice, Anti-cure Nopublicans.

Take it and shove it deep within your conservative little asses.

Alan Grayson is the change we've been looking for, he is the one we've been waiting for! Kick Obama out in 0'12 and Elect Grayson for President, with Ron Paul as his running mate!!! Kill the Fed!

[oneirishpoet]

great comment elwal...if you don't mind I'm gonna borrow your most excellent description of these Repig a-holes and share it with others...couldn't have said it better!

'take that you fetus loving, embryo fondling, Anti-choice, Anti-cure Nopublicans'

I love it!!!

[elwalvador]

lol, by all means! Insult religious conservatives at any chance you get. After all these lying, cheating, hypocritical, "do as I say, not as I do", holier-than-thou, delusional, ass-wholes deserve it!

Fuck'em, fuck'em all!

Grayson = Hero

[stylites121370]

I cannot believe all of the idiots that are on here. Wow!!! We really ARE in trouble as a nation.........

[semigotbanned]

Rep. Grayson rocks!

[newbombturk99]

Grayson is a racist and a liar

[blugreenblu]

republican hypocracy...how novel.

[davidb72]

I liked Keith better when he was a witty sports anchor...

[Yearbook2012]

This guy isn't a politition, he's an actor

[policeeatdoughnuts]

its refreshing to hear someone tell the truth thank you Mr. Grayson I'd vote for you if i lived in Florida

[St1kyFinguz]

It's funny you said that.

Mr. Grayson only said those comments to get more votes.

[gothgod]

Republicans & too many Democrats are more interested in playing politics and keeping the money flowing to their coffers from the health care insurance industry to do anything to do the right thing for the American people. The Repugs and their fanatical followers should be allowed to opt out of a public option or a universal health care program for all other Americans.

[St1kyFinguz]

Point 1) Proposition 246 is STILL an uninforcable piece of vaper- legislation

You will not be allowed to ask for proof of cityzenship or punish those who lie in the Emergency Room.

Point 2) The Republican plan that they wanted is a 5000 dollar tax bonus to ALL TAX PAYERS as an Alternative to non-catastrophic madicade coverage.

Plus tort reform. Everybody knows this.

Msnbc is lying to it's viewers for stimulus money.

I liked this guy when he was standing up for the truth. Government involvement is not the answer but the leftists will never understand that. This is not about parties but about control which government should not posses. There is a bigger stake and far more reaching in this health care debate

[captcrais101]

Grayson is better than Dennis K. I love this guy.

[1958louief]

Apology!!!!! He dosen't need to give an Apology.... The Idots demanding it Need to give WE THE PEOPLE the apology..

Wilson and those that Voted for him are well.. IDIOTS!!!

[rungy07]

I don't get what this was all about. I have not seen any republicans that do not want health care. This is a major issue and just passing obamacare is not the way to go. YES WE NEED HEALTH CARE...but do it right not just to make Rockefeller/Rothschild owned health care companies filthy rich.

[Skyman46]

Well what's your plan, don't keep it a secret...all we've heard is NO and whining complaining and bitching as you always do.

[Asoligo12]

Finally.....a democrat with some guts and integrity.

[samhouston76]

Over 2000 health insurance companies in the US.

Government regulation causes the lack of competition.

[viehe69]

You are getting thumbs down because the big government lovers can't handle the truth that government doesn't create or encourage competition.

[LockAndLoadAR15]

Just a turd in the punch bowl...

[Greywyn7]

Grayson should've been more snappy with the apology.

[MrFreedomdemocracy]

ALAN GRAYSON vs JOE WILSON

Alan Grayson is an America HERO

Joe (Kanye) Willson is the Insurance Comapnies HERO

[000deadcalm000]

The house has no integrity, so asking for an apology is really useless...Grayson is one of the very few people in congress that really does have the people's best interest in mind. Republicans are only concerned with advancing the interests of banks and corporations. That goes for the balance of the Democrats as well. Time to clean house in 2010...vote all incumbents out on their ass and show them who really runs the country.

[SubmarinerAndroid]

Grayson is great man and the Republicans owe him an apology--they owe us all an apology

[soundmoneyfan]

majority of members from BOTH parties owe the American people ab apology. haha, only in my dreams
