He's entitled to his opinions but he can't be allowed to arbitrarily
decide who receives medical care and who does not.
Well done, Citizen Grayson.

31. Mine too.
Can't remember when I was so proud of my congressman. We in Florida are rather used to hanging our heads in shame at what passes for "Democratic representation" in this state.
If this makes you proud, seek help. :mental:

5. Bad Mojo
It is completely inappropriate for a sitting Congressman to be targeting a constituent based on his political beliefs. This is a precedent I definitely don't want to see set. Grayson is well on his way to being a one-and-done Congressman.
(Before the knee jerk harpies come and bash me for saying this, check the record - I was a strong Grayson supporter before 99% of you ever heard of him.)
DUmmie realizes this is bad juju. And stumbles on a simple truth.

14. Your first statement is valid, but I don't think it addressed what Grayson was doing
Grayson wasn't attacking a constituent for his political beliefs. He was attacking a constituent for saying that,
as a licensed physician, he did not want to treat patients if they held political beliefs different from his own.
Grayson didn't attack the man's political beliefs. He attacked the guy's discrimination against patients on the basis
of their political beliefs. Obviously the "doctor" had to state that he'd turn no one away, but the implication of
less than dedicated care for Obama supporters is very up front.
If Grayson were attacking Cassell only for his political beliefs, I'd say you're right, he crossed a line. But THAT line
wasn't crossed, the way I read it. I think Grayson chose his words carefully--as he usually does.
Please tell me the DFW primitive lives nowhere near me. As for the bolded part: :lmao: :lmao: :mental:

34. He's NOT " targeting a constituent based on his political beliefs."
He's targeting him based on the constituent's self-confessed discriminatory business practices.
Sorry DUmmy, political belief is not a protected class under the law. :mental:

21. Be interesting what the basis of the complaint is...since what he is doing is quite legal.
If its not competence, the docs license is not at risk.
There is no affirmative duty for a doc in private practice to treat any particular patient, and docs refuse patients all the time for any number of reasons, including lack of insurance or not having insurance with a group they accept. The Hippocratic oath is not binding and many docs do not belong to the AMA. Unless the patient is being turned away for being a member of a legally protected class, there is no legal case for discrimination. A family member went through this recently. I was at first amazed, and then came to realize that being a doctor is not all that different than being a plumber from a legal perspective. Not defending the action AT ALL, just want to make sure that everyone realizes Grayson's complaint is little more than a PR stunt and nothing effective can be done against him in terms of licensing.
That said, picketing the hospitals where he has privileges, at his home, and other tools to publicize his position and thereby impact his income are also perfectly legal and should be exploited to their fullest.
The Prog Prof hits the truth-ball out of the park. Suck it DUmmies.

35. Alan Grayson: The People's Hero
Can you imagine if a fire department decided not to put out blazes in homes of registered Democrats?
Actually I shouldn't be giving Republicans ideas.

I will never understand how these "people" don't stop breathing.

That DUmmie thread was SO stupid, I think my computer's memory just went from 1G to 250K.... :mental:
Not to mention mine....

The Heiress has Max & Ruby's Easter on now. It's much smarter than the DUmb****s on that thread . . . though I suspect that several moles are there, too, to "egg on" the primitives. (If I had one, it would be doing just that.)

Meth labs burn too fast to save, and firemen know better than to go into them when they do catch fire anyway.
Grayson's probably a lawyer, if he is I'd like to see the doc turn the tables on him by making a professional responsibility complaint to the Florida bar about Grayson's grossly negiligent ignorance of the law and resulting misuse of his position to oppress an innocent person.
-
Grayson's probably a lawyer.
Bingo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Grayson#Early_life_and_education)
I'd like to know how many Democrats are NOT lawyers... it seems to be the overwhelming profession of choice on that side of the aisle. Not sure about the GOP, but watching C-SPAN I get the impression that every one of them is a lawyer of some kind.

105 lawyers in the House out of 253 for Ds. :thatsright:
Leaving 148 that aren't.

This will die a quick death. The doctor might, might receive a weakly worded letter of admonishment from the state medical board, but that's about it. There's no way his license is in jeopardy. If a physician can refuse to take on new clients simply because they want to spend more hours on the golf course, then surely one can put a sign in their window telling a non-protected class to seek non-emergent treatment elsewhere. Especially when there's zero evidence that the doctor is actually turning anyone away. This is nothing but political grandstanding on Grayson's part.
In my lifetime I've never seen government office holders in the U.S so publicly and unashamedly go after individual citizens as I've seen with this current Administration and Congress. It began with Obama's campaign. Large numbers of people from Joe the Plumber to talk radio hosts to Tea Party protestors and beyond are attacked. It's amazingly vicious and vindictive behavior.

I think Slick Willie's administration set a pretty strong precedent with how they attacked his bimbo eruptions.

Oh. Alan Grayson, THAT moonbat. Figures he'd be all for going after this doctor, who really said he wouldn't refuse to treat anyone, that sign of his was just to make a point. Garson is the same libtard that sued the owner of the website "mycongressmanis nuts" by saying the person didn't live in his Congressional district. I guess the "nuts" part he couldn't contest.
-
Dr. Cassell was on F&F this morning. Seemed like a perfectly reasonable dude, and is not backing down. The sign is still up. He called Grayson "a fool." Understatement of the year.
The reason the DUmmies love him so is because he's exactly like them. Stupid and crazy.
-
He called Grayson "a fool."
Whoops!
Now he must be sent to the camps.
-
Who's running against him in Nov?
-
It appears to not have coalesced yet, njpines. As far as I can tell, there were 13 opponents. Needs to be worked through.

Thanks, Karin. I see the primary is in Aug for FL. This is definitely one of the races to watch -- isn't he in a fairly conservative district?

"This office operates by Obama rules...pay now and come back in 4 years"
-
I'm not sure about the district...how could he get in in the first place? Anyway, with a little more research, an opponent could be a candidate for money bombs at some point.
