(CNN) – Republicans are pouncing on a late-night House floor speech from Rep. Alan Grayson, during which the freshman Florida Democrat said the Republican health care plan calls for sick people to "die quickly."
"It's a very simple plan," Grayson said in the speech Tuesday night. "Don't get sick. That's what the Republicans have in mind. And if you get sick America, the Republican health care plan is this: die quickly."
The after-hours speech, which included prominent banners behind the congressman to reinforce his point, drew immediate calls from some Republicans for an apology.
"That is about the most mean-spirited partisan statement that I've ever heard made on this floor, and I, for one, don't appreciate it," Tennessee Republican Rep. Jimmy Duncan told the Politico.
Grayson has not issued an apology, and a spokesman for the congressman said no additional statement on the matter is forthcoming.

Thoughts other than democrats and republicans are the lowest forms of life on the planet?

I wonder if LG is in this guy's district, Grayson appears to be the sort he'd vote for.

If this had been 1809 rather than 2009, a vitriolic comment like that would have likely gotten Grayson's attitude "adjusted" right there on the floor of the House.
