He's short more than testicles. He just sorta missing his aorta, which could pump some blood back out of his heart, if he had one.

His speech on the floor during the HC debates about people dying because the lack of insurance was a great wake up call.
His proposal to open Medicare to everyone was another good example of reminding everyone that the debate wasn't as radical as the right tried to make it out to be.
I hope he continues to serve Congress and the fact that he gets under the skin of Rush and Friends just shows me that what he's doing, he's doing right.
The outspoken Grayson described Cassell's sign as "ridiculous."
"I'm disgusted," he said. "Maybe he thinks the Hippocratic Oath says, ‘Do no good.' If this is the face of the right wing in America, it's the face of cruelty. … Why don't they change the name of the Republican Party to the Sore Loser Party?"
:-)
Yeah, Fatso is all about food, drugs, and bending over metaphors...truly porcine...
1. Take your words literally.
2. Opinions are automatically lies or at least misinformation.
3. No joking, use of hyperbole, or analogies.
With this in mind let's look at some witty Alan Grayson lines:Taken literally does that have any violent or hateful imagery? Yes, of course it does.Does Grayson literally mean the GOP wants people to die quickly? Is this hateful if he does? I would say so. And it's a lie.
The GOP doesn't give a cr*p about whether lots of people die quickly, as long GOP needs for power and money are served.
There's justification for what Grayson said.
You're a dimwit, maggie. And you defend evil people.

You're obviously extremely partisan with statements like, "The GOP doesn't give a cr*p about whether lots of people die quickly, as long GOP needs for power and money are served."
I'm no fan of the GOP and even I wouldn't say that that's what they believe. You are insane if you honestly think this.
And yet, your posts consistently prove otherwise. You might not defend the party itself but it's apparent which party's water you carry.
1. What they say, and
2. What they do.
Seems to me that you, BJ Fan, k1dork, etc. want us to ignore these two things and just ASSUME that the Republicans are much more caring than their words and actions indicate. Sorry. I usually just take it for granted that people are not soulless, heartless sociopaths. With Republicans, I insist on proof.
Conservatives always hide behind the "it's my opinion" thing. As if because something is "opinion" that means you can't call it out for being false.
I can't sit here and go, "It's my opinion that the sky is green and no one can tell me I'm wrong or lying because it's only my opinion".
Just because someone holds an opinion doesn't mean it's not misinformation.
Because exposing conservative misinformation is the mission of MMFA, you have been told this many times.
If you don't take his words literally, then there's nothing that pushes conservative misinformation in that quote. Since they did post it I can only assume they did in fact take his words literally.
MMFA has ALWAYS understood, despite your assertions to the contrary, that many of the things that these fools say are NOT intended to be taken literally.
But that doesn't stop them from being offensive comments that further the conservative agenda.
And how exactly does "I wouldn't mind if both ... parties would burst into flames" further the conservative agenda?
Well, saying that BOTH parties are EQUALLY offensive and have equally offensive platforms, positions and outcomes furthers the conservative agenda by failing to accurately portray the massive failings of the conservative side versus much less egregious sins on the progressive side.
That's for starters.
But, my point was that YOUR claim that MMFA doesn't KNOW that the hyperbolic comments shouldn't be taken literally is ridiculous.
It's a strawman argument that you push around here all the time, and I shot it down. Now, I understand that's frustrating, to have what you thought was one of your most powerful arguments totally debunked, but TOO BAD, SO SAD.
he's right i often use that common expression in my daily life. you know as in "i'm going to my inlaws this weekend. i really hope they burst into flames." can't you just sense the love in that statement?
Are you one of those 'conservatives' that believe that the First Amendment prohibits others from answering back?
Just asking.
You guys just can't get it right, can you?
For example, if Sean Hannity said on his program that you can lose weight by eating 10 hamburgers a day and not exercising, is that conservative misinformation?

Honestly now, if Sean Hannity said on his program that you can lose weight by eating 10 hamburgers a day and not exercising, is that conservative misinformation?
Okay, I'll play the silly game.
1) It is probably more a piece of misinformation uttered by a conservative.
2) It might be conservative information, since even diet is part of the culture wars these days and Hannity might be pushing it as part of a "liberal vegetarians are trying to steal your hamburgers" gambit.
You always talk about Beck being a "common" man. No, he's not. He is a jerk who is doing his DAM*DEST to tear our country apart . . . for what? MONEY and ATTENTION. That's all. He doesn't give a rat's patoot about the crap he spews except that it's making him rich. He's a jerk.

Nope, it's not "conservative misinformation" because it doesn't further the conservative agenda.
The conservative agenda doesn't hope that people get fat and lazy. That's not a political agenda.
What a dunce you are, and a troll, pretending that you don't understand this stuff and just desirous of negative attention.
However Grayson did call the Right "Nazis"...& Palin a "dingbat"
Now I'm not gonna dispute that Palin is a dingbat ;-) But sometimes it would be great if a few folks here could at least acknowledge that some Liberals also step over the line of civility & do name-call.
I'll be the first one to admit that most of the hate, hostility, smears & name-calling comes from these right-wing [radio/tv] talk show hosts [and others]....but the Left aren't always boy scouts [or girl scouts] & occasionally spew a little venom themselves ;-)
