Here's our TPMtv highlight reel of Grayson's activities in the last few days -- from saying that Republicans want people to "die quickly," to calling the health care crisis a "holocaust," and calling the Republicans "foot-dragging, knuckle-dragging neanderthals."

He should say it again. And again. And again.
Repeat as necessary.

WOW!!!You go Grayson. He is absolutely right. He is forceful and in just a few words has clearly stated exactly what is going on and what needs to change---NOW. I am also making a $25.00 contribution to his campaign. Let's get it done.

Just figured it out, folks. IT WAS A TRAP!
It was a huge joke on Republicans intended to make them laughingstocks. Damn near worked, too. Unfortunately, it was triggered prematurely by leftie bloggers innocently intending to defend Grayson by pointing out that Republican officeholders have hurled virtually identical inflammatory accusations at Democrats in recent months!
He is a Harvard Phi Beta Kappa who has hired Matt Stoller - a really net-savvy blogger. They cooked up a beautiful plan.
"die quickly" = (from a Republican) Dems telling old people to "drop dead"
"holocaust?" favorite meme of the anti-abortion crowd. Grayson even remarked regarding Rs indifference to "living, breathing, people."
What finally nailed it down for me was the CNN clip where he called Republicans "nattering nabobs of negativism." That was Spiro Agnew's most famous line ever!
Folks, he was praying that the Rs would try to censure him! He was prepared to show that he has been quoting Republicans throughout.
Unfortunately, well-meaning lefties like us triggered the alarm over at fascist central, the Rs withdrew their resolution, and they are going to try to let it quietly go away. Had that resolution been debated, it would have been a national joke.
I am going to repost this now at the bottom of every Grayson thread I can find. Don't feel obliged to rec every one, lol.
