Grayson on Rush: "I知 sorry that Limbaugh is one sorry excuse for a human being"

[brentspeak]

Makes me believe in the Democratic party again -- that we have fighters.

http://thinkprogress.org/2009/01/28/grayson-limbaugh/

"Rush Limbaugh is a has-been hypocrite loser, who craves attention. His right-wing lunacy sounds like Mikhail Gorbachev, extolling the virtues of communism. Limbaugh actually was more lucid when he was a drug addict. If America ever did 1% of what he wanted us to do, then we'd all need pain killers."
...............
(later, asked to apologize)

http://downwithtyranny.blogspot.com/2009/03/breaking-news-alan-grayson-apologizes.html

"I知 sorry Limbaugh called for harsh sentences for drug addicts while he was a drug addict. I'm also sorry that he痴 bent on seeing America fail. And I知 sorry that Limbaugh is one sorry excuse for a human being."

[scheming daemons]

13. yawn

[SammyWinstonJack]

37. +1

:thumbsup:

[lib_wit_it]

39. We'll see, but we do need a progressive in the WH, and far more of them in congress. /m

[madokie]

20. NO shit

He speaks with a clarity that not many do.

[Jetboy]

2. I don't remember any Dem rep who was on a bigger roll than

this guy. He really tells it like it is!

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

3. This guy is fucking gangsta' and I'm loving it. nt

[tekisui]

22. Gangsta Grayson. I wonder why they waited for his roll out...

but I am digging him, big time. I hope he has more friends like him.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

27. I hope he doesn't apologize. 'Cause I don't wanna change my new sig line.

[lpbk2713]

5. I love it.

I'd give anything to see someone in his position take OxyRush to the wood shed.

[Forkboy]

6. I'm really starting to like this guy.

:rofl:

[Mz Pip]

7. The Republican won't take on Rush

so I guess it's up to a Democrat who isn't afraid to roll around in the mud a bit. Good for him. :applause:

[Chulanowa]

8. Dayum

how much for a six-pack?

[laughingliberal]

9. This guy just gets better and better

The very first Democratic representative who has learned the art of pushing back. Way time we learned how to get our message out to the public.

[saracat]

10. Grayson"my hero! "

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[TommyPaine]

11. Right on! We need more politicians like Grayson.

It's about time the left had some real attack dogs on its side, actual politicians who don't pull their punches.

[BlooInBloo]

12. lulz! Awesome!

[peace frog]

14. "Limbaugh actually was more lucid when he was a drug addict"

Keep 'em comin' on, Grayson. We are LOVING IT. :woohoo:

[BolivarianHero]

49. In this regards, I sympathise with El Bushblo...

Sometimes I feel more lucid when I smoke a spliff.

[Canuckistanian]

15. Whoa! The Fat Boy's not gonna like this

Because he can't draw attention to it without reminding everyone of his drug addiction.

Nice move, Grayson!

[bullwinkle428]

21. I just wish he'd thrown in his "Dominican vacation experience" for the icing on the cake!

:rofl:

[mmonk]

16. Dang this guy is good. He needs to be Majority leader.

[Vinnie From Indy]

17. LOL! Way to go Grayson!

I like it!

[watercolors]

18. I want him to replace Nelson as our Dem. Senator

Man he is what we need, instead of candy ass Nelson! I am happy he is a rep and is stiring up the pot! Sure need more reps like him.

[peekaloo]

32. I hope Kendrick Meek is taking notes.

Although Meek wasn't shy about getting in Jebthro's face he needs to up the ante against the current opportunist in the Governor's mansion to take Mel "Quitter" Martinez's seat. I know it's still a year away but Chuckles polished turd of a career is *maybe* starting to lose some of its shine.
:-)

[jeffbr]

19. Finally, a Dem with a pair

[maxpower]

23. I agree

The more I see this guy, the more I like him. He doesn't back down. We need 200 more just like him. Turn the tables on those right wing bastards. Why bring a knife to a gunfight?


Peace,
Max

[saltpoint]

24. LOL! This is a refreshing development out of central Florida.

Go, team.

[voteearlyvoteoften]

25. He's hot and Limpbaughs not

Go team, go democrats!

[guitar man]

26. right on

I think we may have found our "hammer" :evilgrin:

[AspenRose]

28. Hot damn!

:woohoo: :bounce:

[Cowpunk]

29. This is my favorite "Graysonism".

The stuff we saw yesterday was Grayson simply adopting a tried and true GOP tactic-Say something outrageous, and then, when the traditional media has your attention, inject a new fact or narrative into the discourse. In this case, he was able to bring huge attention to the Harvard study which claimed over 40,000 die each year due to lack of health insurance. Who had heard of that studdy a couple of days ago?

But this stuff about Limbaugh is even better, in my opinion. It's about time all Democrats started calling out these right wing blowhard for what they are: LYING, HYPOCRITICAL, PSYCHOTIC SCUMBAGS.

[Kadie]

30. LOL!

I love the way this guy apologizes!

:rofl:

[bemildred]

31. This is so refreshing. And in Congress too.

Someone with a spine.

[Orsino]

33. Okay, I was cheering him on yesterday, and can only approve of this latest sentiment...

...but saying shit like this is thoroughly unprofessional.

There are plenty of bases on which to criticize Limbaugh. Personal attacks make me think less of Grayson.

53. Relax.

A freep would be applauding the unprofessionalism, and not the sentiment.

[Toasterlad]

34. These Comments Were Made in Jan 09 and Mar 09.

Just pointing that out for the people who think they're new. Grayson isn't going on a denouncing tour. At least, not yet.

[Kadie]

35. .

:kick:

[Overseas]

36. Grayson used good comic timing in his Republican Plan joke--

Upon re-hearing the clip this morning, I noticed a great pause Grayson had put into his speech--

"...my colleagues, on the Far Side--- of the aisle..." that was great! A bonus truth.

[ForeignSpectator]

38. Dayum, the way he steamrolled over the situation room and now this?! Awesome

Plus, he should keep the beard, suits him well

[BluDemocratGirl]

40. Grayson is my NEW man!

The truth keeps coming, and it's really killing the right-chicken wings mongers!

[Dr Fate]

43. Me too- and pay day is TOMORROW!!!! I got a HOT check in my pocket for him!!!

n/t

[WileEcoyote]

41. He just called the emperor out for having np clothes

For the life of me I can't figure out WHY no one has done this before!

[Dr Fate]

42. WOW! A Tru-Blue DEM tha makes me SMILE for a change.

God Bless the true believers, and God Bless Rep. Grayson.

[Suji to Seoul]

44. Finally, Florida did something right. They gave us this wonderful man

Alan Grayson, you are my hero! You are putting my faith back in Democrats!

You and the Progressive Caucus are my heros!

[RagAss]

50. The Bronx gave us this wonderful man.

[veganlush]
