Speaking on the floor of House of Representatives last night, Florida Democrat Rep. Alan Grayson called out right-wing Christian evangelicals and Pat Robertson for his ridiculous comments about the Haitian earthquake. Grayson brought up the right-wing attempts to "ban gay marriage" and a woman's right to choose and asked: "What about your own pact with the devil? How's that worked out for you?"
The man is freakin' fearless and the Democrats need to clone him. Donate to Grayson's ACT Blue. Watch the clip WHEN YOU JUMP ...

This is that same dude who made the statement about health care, right?!
I LOVE HIM TOO SEAN! He's fire! I need to send him some financial support!!!!!
We support those who support us and must be willing to do the opposite and remove from office those who are not practicing what they preach, ESPECIALLY on the Democratic side of the aisle! There are a FEW NJ Democrats who are going to catch HELL after their disappointing lack of support of Marriage Equality!

Yes in deed! Courage seems to be a rarity these days. Glad someone is willing to say what the need and want to say.

Oh, how I love a Balsy-in-your-face type man when he says what needs to be said and actually knows wtf he is talking about!!!
He is the channeling Ted Kennedy's spirit for sure!

I just adore this guy, maybe he could give Obama some back bone to call it like it is instead of his cowering to the GOP and its fringe.

Awesome!! He made a lot of friends with this, and probably a few more enemies. But screw anybody who can't accept an obvious, documented, truth.
Florida should be proud. Are you paying attention South Carolina?
