4. Amazing -- he's calling out the GOPs by name, and how many uninsured die in each of their districts.

Tune in now. C-SPAN 1.

Grayson rocks.

7. They want his words taken down, then recessed.

What is going on?

[valerief]

5. They just shut him up by going to recess. Fucks. nt

[demodonkey]

6. GOP just called for his words to be taken down -- more than just going to recess!

They can't stand the truth!

House gaveled out.

On edit -- they want his words to be actually stricken from the Record. This is serious.

[valerief]

8. Wow!!!! I couldn't really understand what they were saying.

I wonder what reason they gave or will give. Maybe they don't even need to give a reason.

9. Probably the Republicans will try to claim violation of House Rules.

The Republicans will probably try to paint this as a personal attack by one member against the others by name (a violation of House Rules), in effect 'blaming' them personally for the deaths, but I do not think it is.

IMO he first simply blamed the Republicans as a whole for stalling healthcare reform (OK under the Rules) and then he was simply allowing listeners to draw their own conclusions by saying the number of the dead by district and who represents them.

This will come up for a vote (to take down his words) and I sure hope the Dems will not cave in and do it.

I'm disappointed because he did not get to PA before they stopped him. I am uninsured in a GOP-represented district and only by luck or the ongoing grace of the higher powers am I not one of the statistics he was reading.
