I am with Nancy on this... Grayson Said what should have been said. And it's about time for those on the Democratic side to stop acting like it is undignified to aggressively call these people out for their lies and behavior.
Republicans are calling on freshman Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) to apologize for denigrating their party's health care plan on the House floor, but Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) thinks they ought to look in the mirror instead.
"Apparently Republicans hold Democrats to a higher standard than they hold members of their own party," Pelosi told reporters at her weekly press conference on Thursday. "There's no reason for Mr. Grayson to apologize. If anyone should apologize, everyone should apologize."
Grayson has taken fire from Republicans since he said on the House floor Tuesday night that the opposition party's proposed health care reform amounts to "don't get sick" or, failing that, "die quickly." The Florida Democrat did not back down Wednesday, calling Republicans "knuckle-dragging Neanderthals" and expressing sorrow only that delays to reform cost more American lives every day.
"I think we should be on the offense, not the defense, and that's where I plan to stay," Grayson told reporters.
Pelosi said she holds everyone in Congress to a high standard of discourse, but she argued that health reform is too important to be "distracted" by Republican efforts to force an apology from Grayson.
Republicans apparently can't handled it when Democrats flip the script on their asses... As Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.)showed yesterday when he spoke on the floor to give the Republicans the apology they deserved and on CNN when he didn't back down from their media co-whores on the Situation Room......Oh the outrage, even Pat Buchanan seemed impressed this morning by a Democrat given a Republican a taste of his own medicine. (But surprisingly Pat Buchanan seemed to be the only sane voice on Morning Joe this week when it come to Roland Polanski, The Olympic Bid and Rushing to send more of our troops off to war)
