While Alan Grayson become America’s Hero overnight for his slam against the Republican health care plan, which we’ll paraphrase as “Live fast, die young, and leave a good-looking corpse,” he’s no stranger to punching back:

Shortly after his election, the 51-year-old responded to radio host Rush Limbaugh’s remark that he hoped President Obama would fail by calling Limbaugh a “has-been hypocrite loser,” adding for good measure that “Limbaugh actually was more lucid when he was a drug addict.” Mocking Republicans who apologized after criticizing Limbaugh, Grayson issued an “apology” of his own: “I’m sorry that Limbaugh is one sorry excuse for a human being.”

And he’s using his newfound popularity to raise some quick cash:

Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Disney World) on the House floor Tuesday:

If you get sick America, the Republican health care plan is this: die quickly.

Republicans, of course, are shocked! and outraged!

“Alan Grayson not only refuses to apologize, he is doubling down on his despicable remarks and he is dragging his party with him,” said Ken Spain, a spokesman for the National Republican Congressional Committee, which is targeting Grayson in next year’s midterm election. “This is an individual who has established a pathological pattern of unstable behavior. He is derailing the national debate on healthcare reform and embarrassing his constituents as a result.”

We’d be pissed too, if our opponent stole our best lines.

With all those firearms at town halls, we have to admit an indecent pleasure that the latest report of violence is very old school:

A 65-year-old man had his finger bitten off Wednesday evening at a health care rally in Thousand Oaks, according to the Ventura County Sheriff’s Department…

A witness from the scene says a man was walking through the anti-reform group to get to the pro-reform side when he got into an altercation with the 65-year-old, who opposes health care reform.

The 65-year-old was apparently aggressive and hit the other man, who then retaliated by biting off his attacker’s pinky, according to Karoli from DrumsnWhistles, who attended the rally.

But all’s well that ends well: Doctors reattached the pinky.* The anti-reformer had Medicare.

Update: Oops, he lost half a pinky after all. We’re undecided whether that remains good news.

Sarah “Talibunny” Palin revealed earlier this month that under the new Obamacare plan, her retarded boy, Trig, would be put to death by an Official Obamacare ‘Death Panel’ that would rule on the tot’s value to society before sentencing him to a grisly, humiliating death, likely a thorough clubbing as he is roughly the same size as a baby harp seal, a summary execution delivered at the hands of a gay Afrosupremist Islamofacist Marxist.

“The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama’s “death panel” so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their “level of productivity in society,” whether they are worthy of health care. Such a system is downright evil,” the Talibunny wrote on Facebook last week.

Yes, indeed, evil in ways that no other administration since Caligula could imagine. Yet, Stinque.com, has found that summary death sentences to be meted out by the Official Obamacare Death Panel is only the beginning of the odious monstrosities being plotted by the diabolical non-documented Kenyan Obama to eliminate health care in America – and transform this nation into an Islamofascist North American Caliphate.
