Rep. Alan Grayson Blasts GOP Health Care "Holocaust"
OpenCongress.org lists NARAL Pro-Choice America and Planned Parenthood as top contributors ($5k each) to the 2008 campaign of pro-abort Congressman Alan Grayson. Grayson also supports human embryo experimentation.
So never mind Grayson's lack of decorum for his inappropriate statements on the House floor last week, first saying Republicans battling the Dem healthcare plan would prefer people to "die quickly," followed by an "apolog[y] to the dead... that we haven't voted sooner to end this [healthcare] holocaust in America."...
But backing up, this pro-abort had a lot of nerve. As Rush explained on his show October 1:
So when we make this comparison, after Pelosi calls us all Nazis, "All right, you want to call us Nazis, let's do a comparison, Ms. Pelosi, let's see really who is closer to the national socialists of Germany." So we do that and all of a sudden, "You can't."
Now we've got a guy, a Democrat on the floor of the House, comparing Republican desires on health care to the Holocaust... and that we're the ones that want people to die.
We are the ones who get tarred and feathered because we're pro-life, for crying out loud! Pro-life gets tarred and feathered and impugned and ripped to shreds, and it has been my whole life. Pro-lifers are said to be hicks, hayseeds, a bunch of religious fanatics and so forth. We still stand up for the proposition that all men are created equal, that the spirit of our creation includes a yearning to be free. We're the ones who stand up as pro-lifers, we're the ones who take hits and we've got some wacko Democrat going to the floor of the House saying that we are running a Holocaust when in fact if there is a Holocaust in this country it is abortion, and there is a particular party that has been responsible for pushing it. And that would be, ahem, the Democrat Party.
The closest thing we have to a Holocaust in this country is abortion, on demand, and now we got a health care bill where there will be taxpayer dollars used to facilitate abortion. This clown goes to the floor of the House to accuse us of what they have been doing since 1973. As I say, Democrats kill people before they're born. So this guy's an absolute lunatic....

Irony alert: Wacko congressman, Alan Grayson critic of Iraq security contractors, rescued in Niger by security contractors
Ingrate Alan Grayson, soon-to-be-retired Florida congressman
Wired.com reveals the hypocritical details:
During yesterday’s Senate hearing on government oversight of security contractors, an interesting tidbit emerged. In his prepared testimony, Fred Roitz, executive vice president of contracts and chief sales officer for Xe (a.k.a. Blackwater), disclosed that his company, through its subsidiary Presidential Airways, evacuated a congressman from Niger during a recent military coup.That caught the eye of Mother Jones reporter Daniel Schulman, who decided to figure out who, exactly, the congressman in distress was. Turns out it was none other than Rep. Alan Grayson, the Florida Democrat who has made his reputation by going after military contractors. Irony alert! Grayson spokesman Todd Jurkowski confirmed that Grayson was spirited out of the country on a Xe helicopter, and offered this statement to Schulman: “The flight was arranged through the State Department … The congressman did not know, and frankly did not care, who owned the plane.” Of all the pudknockers in Congress, this guy deserves the biggest Chairman Mao ornament. Why don't we see this story in the mass media ? This guy couldn't figure out how an outhouse works, not to mention diplomatic security. Guessing his IQ, I am sure he was talked into going there by the people throwing the military coup and Alan thought a coup was what happens at a Hugh Hefner's party in the grotto. I know Florida is having economic problems but this is the best they can do?
If I went around and just punched in the kidneys everyone who called someone else a Nazi or referenced the Holocaust without referring to the actual Nazis or the actual holocaust. I'd drive around on a motorcycle emblazoned with the star of David, and wear a mask. They would call me Maccabee the Avenger.
I swear to G-d, this is now actually a fantasy of mine. I'm asking for donations for the motorcycle.
I agree with you. And if ever I make the same mistake, I accept the kidney punch. People think they're being clever or somehow poignant. But what they are actually doing is showing an incredible lack of - can't think of a better word than sensitivity, but it's out there - to people who either are survivors of an actual holocaust or direct descendants of survivors or victims.
If you need a fellow kidney puncher, I've already got the motorcycle. Just let me know and we'll call it the "Conservative and Liberal Kidney Punching Unification Tour" or something like that. You could probably come up with a better name, being more articulate than I. Either way, I agree with your statement. (This is getting spooky!)
For allowing abortion . The constitution doesn't give rights to an unborn fetus. Unless democrats are the only ones who wrote the constitution. If Roe v. Wade is overturned it will either be because of a constitutional amendment OR conservative activist judges choose to reinterpret the founding fathers within their own ideological spectrum and not respect the historical foundations of the constitution.
Then again, conservative judicial activism is OK so long as it supports conservative ideology - just not liberal ideology. You can shred the constitution and it be OK if you are conservative, as long as it encourages a conservative believe - but liberals when they do it are bad!
It /is/ a shocking number. Most are black babies . Genocide is genocide. Where is the outcry?
Where is the NAACP?
Where is Rev. Jackson?
Where is Barack Obama?
Where is the ACLU?
Why is it only Christian groups who oppose this genocide?
The plural of 'anecdote' is not 'data'.
Consider it's not a systematic destruction of a ethnic, racial, religious, or national group by another party it's not really genocide. And when I say not really, I mean not at all.
And why would the ACLU be involved anyway, the constitution clearly doesn't afford rights to an unborn fetus unless you choose to read the 14th Amendment in the most bizarre and historically distorted way imaginable.
The "If caelum says so rule" applies when his views impeach all evidence showing that abortion providers target poor black neighborhoods, and further impeaches the statistical evidence showing that most abortion victims are black people.
Historical interpretation of the 14th amendment shows quite clearly that "nor shall any State deprive any person of life..."
Abortion laws do deprive people of life, and the 14th Amendment was legislated in the first place to protect black people who were, prior to Reconstruction, deemed as 'property'.
History disagrees with you, and I respectfully suggest you read my previous argument with QM where I go into greater detail arguing against the constitutionality of Roe v. Wade.
