The health care crisis is "an act of mass destruction and loss of life?" That doesn't seem like a controversial statement, in fact I would applaud Grayson for turning up the rhetoric to an appropriate volume.

Wow.

We might should be worried. The republicans know crazy.

Perhaps Pelosi could ask for assistance from the Death Panel architect HusseinObamaMuslimMarxistKenyan in tamping down dem whackos.

Ouch!

The GOP really ought to stay far away from the kitchen. They can't stand the heat.

They can give it all day long but just a little blow-back comes their way and they're screaming like little school girls in the midst of a hissy fit.

Their disingenuous indignation is proportional to the truth of the statement they whine about.

Josh (on the front page) described his comments as "over the top." Why are they over the top? His comments are accurate!

I don't understand why republicans spout lies and insults and get away with it, and when Democrats simply put the republican Health Care "Plan" into words that any dolt could understand, but not one word of untruth, it is labeled by our very own as "OVER THE TOP!"

The same thing happened about the "Obama" song that schoolchildren were singing -- I heard dems say it shouldn't have been done. They didn't say that when those children sang about Bush after his noble efforts to help them after Katrina.

And when Obama's speech to schoolchildren "again" stressing those communist goals of working hard and doing your best; even our own Progressives said he shouldn't have the work-book where the student was supposed to write a letter to HIMSELF/HERSELF (!) about how he/she could help the President. Gee, how horrible can you get? Giving young children the idea that they might be able to make a difference in the world?

Why is it that whenever the Republicans try to describe anything the Dems have done as somehow inappropriate, they sound like a bunch of five year olds? Is it really the party of the emotionally immature?

Thank you Congressman Grayson. It's about time a Democrat had the balls to stand up and tell it like it is. At least to me you are a hero.

Here's the thing about Grayson's comments. Yes, they are insulting. The next question should not be whether he should thus automatically apologize for them, but rather whether they are appropriate.

TODAY’S REPUBLICANS ARE AMERICA'S ENEMY WITHIN

Republicans ARE practicing seditious DEMAGOGUERY and anti-democracy OBSTRUCTIONISM intended to destabilize our economy for purposes of political exploitation.

Republicans AREN'T making a sincere effort to STOP the bleeding THEIR incompetent leadership and failed policies created. Instead, they're using inflammatory lies and accusations as a smokescreen to conceal their subversive agenda, which is to cause President Obama and America to fail so they can blame Democrats for the consequences of THEIR calamitous mismanagement.

Republicans ARE preposterously professing that THEIR disgraceful political WHORING had nothing to do with the banking, real estate, stock market and employment catastrophes that resulted.

Republicans ARE trying to hamstring Democrats to prevent them from repairing the damage caused during a Republican presidency that was irresponsibly enabled by Republican Senators and Representatives.

Republicans ARE offering ridiculous arguments meant solely to disrupt and prevent progressive change. They'd rather divide America and create political gridlock than endure the political consequences of effective Democratic governance.

Republicans AREN'T the LOYAL OPPOSITION; they ARE the ENEMY WITHIN whose mercenary personal priorities have eroded their moral and ethical standards to the point that duplicity and betrayal are their preferred modus operandi.

It's one thing to advocate their conservative beliefs; it's another thing entirely to willfully sabotage America's government because a successful Democratic presidency would not be vulnerable to the greed, fears and hatreds that have produced and sustained the radical Republican anti-government corporatism and anti-Christian faux theocracies that are poisoning and crippling American society.
