Republican Plan == Die Quickly?

Representative Alan Grayson (D-Florida) claimed today - aided by very simple visual aids, in case you were deaf, or had the TV on mute, or didn't get it the first time around - that the Republican healthcare plan is for you, the consumer, to die quickly, in the event you get sick.



Of course, this is sensationalism, not based in any sort of reality whatsoever - both his claims that the Republicans offer no plan, and that Democrats will leave everyone who's happy being happy, while opening up access to everyone else.

And yet, liberal bloggers eat this irrational slander up, and even praise and defend it. Why? What is admirable about this man - a grown man, a legislator - acting this way? How does this further us along in solving our problems?

Can we get back to real debate please? Can we start weighing the pros and cons of ideas, and agreeing about those that have logical merit?
