Wow, I think some DUmmies need to wipe their chins off.

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.

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:

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.

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.
