Grayson Regrets Comparing Health Care Crisis to Holocaust: Fox News

Florida Rep. Alan Grayson, who has drawn fire for saying Republicans want Americans to "die quickly" if they get sick, expressed regret Friday for comparing the health care crisis to a "holocaust."
Grayson vowed not to use the term again in a letter he sent Friday to the Andrew Rosenkranz, Florida regional director of the Anti-Defamation League, a prominent Jewish organization that fights anti-Semitism.
Grayson evoked the Holocaust during a speech on the House floor Wednesday even though he wasn't referring to the genocide of European Jews in Nazi concentration camps during World War II.

UPDATE (10/1):
Alan Grayson Apologizes to the Dead, not Republicans: CBS
"I apologize to the dead and their families that we haven't voted sooner to end this holocaust in America."

First off, the Republican's have not denied the fact that there are serious problems with our health care system. To libel them and say that we want people to die is outrageous, unrepresentative and totally untrue! We are not arguing that Harvard study, we are arguing about the way to change that number.

Grayson has taken this debate to a whole new level that is ridiculous and childish. The solutions that the Republican are providing are different from the solutions that the Democrats are providing. We need to stop attacking each other for believing differently and start focusing on fixing the problem without this childish name calling. My question is where is the teacher who will send all these petulant children to detention for disrupting the classroom?

And I need to mention how disgusted I am with Grayson's use of the word "holocaust"! The connotations that word carries are so extreme that it is inconceivable to compare the 30-40 thousand uninsured American to the 11 million that were massacred in Nazi Germany. I also find it HYSTERICAL that suddenly the Democrats are making Nazi references. I doubt that anyone will attack them like they have when Republicans dare mention anything from Nazi Germany.

Democrat Rep. Alan Grayson says the republican plan is for Americans to 'Die Quickly' but the House doesn't seem to be responding with the same outrage as they did when Joe Wilson called the President a Liar. Double Standard? Should Grayson be forced to apologize for his misrepresentation and libels? You Judge.



Congressman Alan Grayson (D-FL) warned Americans about the GOP plan for health care. During an after-hours House floor speech Tuesday night Grayson said the GOP health care plans consists of: Part one, don’t get sick. Part two, if you do get sick, die quickly.

“That’s right,” Grayson said, “the Republicans want you to die quickly if you get sick….This is what the Republicans want you to do.”

House Republicans quickly jumped on the remarks calling on Grayson to apologize. He did not.

"Alan Grayson reached a new low tonight," said Andy Sere, spokesman for the National Republican Congressional Committee. "We'd ask him to apologize -- and he should, immediately -- but we've watched him long enough to know that he's not capable of shame."
