Alan Grayson has quickly turned into Republican enemy #1. Why? Because he's willing to state the truth.
His latest speech has my jaw hitting the floor however. This is incredible.
I apologize for the rather short diary at this point, but I'm gonna try to put together a transcript. For the moment, we need to get it out there and viewed by all.
Basically, Alan Grayson uses his time to read off a list of Republican Congressional districts and states how many people have died in each district from lack of health insurance.
This needs to go viral. Really, really viral. (Note, I'm adding other segments to the speech that weren't here in the initial revision.)
Now please, if you could, would you please Digg this video? Digg the hell out of it.
Update: OMGRecListetc. Actually as chicating pointed out, there was a diary about this speech this morning by schmiss who gets a big H/T for providing some extra information about the source of the data, courtesy of Politico.
Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) is taking the extraordinary step of reading off the number of people he calculates will die as a result of lacking health insurance -- in each district represented by a GOP member of Congress who opposes health care reform.
His approach: Name the district, then name of the Republican, then enumerate the number of people who will die without health insurance based on a Harvard analysis -- suggesting that the members were responsible for the body count.
(Unfortunately that diary fell off the recent list, and I think it's important to disseminate this as much as possible. But schmiss still deserves the credit here.)
Update++: And I'm freaking dumb for not including a link to donate to Grayson's ActBlue page. But now I've made amends.
Update++: I posted videos of the whole thing as it played out.
