’)This is what you do. You don’t kowtow to the “journalists” and conservatives begging for an ethics panel or whining about incivility when a Dem speaks up.

Outstanding. It’s a shame he’s not in the senate..
Holy shit, I wanted to jump up and cheer when I was watching this clip. Absolutely fantastic.
Nice. The apology to the Dead People and their families was a big bowl of WIN.
Shorter Wolf “But but…your not kissing the rings!”
What an absolute smackdown.
Damn it feels good to be a gangsta.
A.
Wolf Blitzer makes me want to puke. A more obvious shill for GOP talking points and fake “balance” you will not find outside a FoxNews studio.
Damn. I haven’t seen a debut like this since the Hanson Brothers
Of course, Obama has no plan either.
How about an up-or-down vote on Medicare for all? 51 votes wins it. Republicans are on record for favoring up-or-down votes.
What kind of insipid, braindead idiots are these MSM-types?
They spent literally the whole segment berating Grayson for making the poor Republicans feel bad and calling them out on their bullshit.
They are completely blind and insulated in their “hail-bipartisanship”-bubble. What a bunch of disgusting, pretentious fools – except Grayson, of course, and to some extent Carville, despite his faults.
Kudos. On the other hand, it’s a shame there are so few Dems willing to represent the Democratic wing of our party.
Public option people. Let’s get it done.
Dude showed some major cojones; judging by how Borger, Blitzer and Castellanos attempted to deride his message, he obviously hit a nerve.
The body language of the four ciphers talking to Grayson is so telling in this clip — these people can’t believe someone isn’t being polite about their vapidity on THEIR network.
I loled at the Republican’s exchange with Carville at 3:46.
“If President Obama put everything we want in the bill and nothing we don’t want, we’d be all for it.”
I’m actually amused by Grayson’s rhetoric. In fact, I love it! While basking in the “amens” eminating from the left, he continues to demonstrate grotesque political stupidity in a barely purple district. His seat is high on the GOP target list, and rightfully so. He unseated Ric Keller in 2008 because, well, Keller was a fucked up jack and a laughingstock even in Republican circles. So, keep on, Alan…..cheers!
And yet again, Godwin’s law holds. This guy is a nut, but if this is who you all want to embrace him as your spokesman, I implore you to do so.
This is exactly the kind of rhetoric they used back in the 70s in San Francisco that moved Nancy Pelosi to near tears when she recalled her memories from that time period a couple weeks ago.
She must be balling her eyes out right now.
Now she can make a case.
It’s kinda cute the way Republicans squeal like baby kittens getting a fleabath when they get a taste of their own medicine.
Et tu, Wilbur?
Me tu.

Yeah, cause we know what “real Americans” want to hear about is “death panels”, and “socialisms”, and “how Obama wants to kill grandma”
Keep it classy guys!
sic semper tyrannis, Dennis.

Sounds painful.
Den, the word you want is “bawling.” What you have described is something entirely different.

As in Wahmbulance.
Thanks, Quibs. Good catch. I was wondering where all the intellectual heavyweights were the last couple days now that we can’t just hurl insults at each other anymore and were turning away the deep thinkers. And you were here all along.
What you have described, Dennis, conjures an image that is terrifying to even comtemplate.
Thanks, Quibs. Good catch.
Would it have killed you to stop there, Dennis?
Passive Aggressive Hypocrite Trolls are being passive aggressive and hypocritical.
Well, it was nice while it lasted…
I’m glad someone is calling the repubs on their hate for real health care reform, you know, the kind that is actually for improving public health and not just CEO wealth.
But again, there are enough Dems to make this happen without one GOP vote. It could be so simple — even the teabaggers among us could wrap their neanderthal brains around it — enacting Medicare for all would involve only changing the age range of those covered, not 1400 pages of legislation.
About this “hate” -
I’m trying to trace back to some point in time when the term “oppose” was replaced by the term “hate”. It would seem that hatred has been truly dumbed down and bandied about to such a degree that we might call ourselves a society of haters….and yet I refuse to believe that.
The popular thing now is to call disagreement one or more of: hatred, racism, or lying. I usually stop listening to the speaker once that is done.

I dig what you’re saying, but it’ OK to stay vigilant and call out real hatred, racism, and lying (the Palin rallies from last year, on the Youtubes, is a great example). And it’s nearly as important to call out the bullshit accusations of hatred, racism, and lying which are mere disagreement. But just tuning it out, as tempting as that may be, leads to, well, more of the same.
I agree with you fully, Indeed. It’s just usually a pointless exercise, and gets wearisome. Perhaps it is worth the effort, though.
Someone needs to take Blitzer by the hand, sit him down, and have a good long talk with him about irony.

Four against one hardly seems balanced.
“Apologize, Wolf? Fuck you too.”
I’m just surprised to see this type of backbone coming from a Floridian Rep.
Although I have great respect for Grayson, especially in his superior efforts to Audit the Federal Reserve, I see “grandstanding” in this interview…
He never defines his version of “Universal” Health Care, nor does he innumerate any of the actual planks of the Dems bill.
His attitude is not one of bipartisan cooperation in this interview.
Indeed the Repubs are standing firm against a socialistic health care plan, especially one that requires IRS participation. I know as I call and email my Rep and Senators regularly in opposition of the Dems plan.
