You can't say that! Waaaaaaaaaah!

Amazing.

Simply amazing.

When a congressman actually tells it like it is, the thought guardians even in his own party demand an apology for feewinghurt. Unbelievable.

Last night, Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Florida) made an observation about the Republicans' health care ideas that I've known for years. Grayson correctly observed, "If you get sick, America, the Republican health care plan is this: die quickly."

I've known this for years, and I'm sure I've said it in public.

The response by Republicans and the DLC thought cops?

YOU CAN'T SAY THAT!!!!!!!!!! WAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!

Republicans demanded Grayson apologize for hurting their fragile feelings. Rep. John Larson (D-Connecticut) - a DLCer who chairs the House Democratic Caucus - has joined the Republicans' demands.

At last word, Grayson has refused to apologize.

And he shouldn't have to apologize. You shouldn't have to say you're sorry for telling the truth.

An apology would be for spineless wusses.

Without real health care reform, innocent Americans will die - and they have. America's worst serial killers are those who have stalled health reform. They know people will die, and they don't care.

It's not unlike the right-wing pogrom against the poor under the Contract With America.
