Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) Compares Health Care in America to the Holocaust



Here we go again. Another politician putting his foot in his mouth. This time Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) is under fire for describing the gist of the Rethuglicans health care plans as "die quickly" and he is not exactly backing down from claims he's crossed the line of civility. Wait, the Republicans want an apology after all the nasty things they have said about President Obama and others? Do you remember Rep. Joe Wilson's (R-SC) "You lie" outburst during the president's address to Congress? Well, Grayson had more vitriol ready to toss at the GOP.

On the floor, he called on members of the House to pass health care reform in the most extreme terms possible:

"I apologize to the dead and their families that we haven't voted sooner to end this holocaust in America," Grayson said.

Yeah, that will definitely ruffle some feathers. I am just sick and tired of all this back and forth nitpickiness on both sides of the aisle. The Holocaust is nothing to throw around lightly. Sorry, Rep. Grayson, you crossed the line, in much the same way as Joe Wilson did. You should apologize because the leadership told you so, then go out and raise some funds for your party! Seriously, that was in poor taste and just over the top.
