So Republicans can talk about 'death panels', and how Democrats want old people to die, yet Democrats can't tell the truth, even if it sounds incendiary?

You are not giving Grayson any credit. He has changed the debate from Democrats defending themselves against charges of 'death panels' (!?) to the Republicans defending themselves against not having any plan, even though 43,000 people die every year in this country for lack of health insurance. Democrats need to fight the rhetorical battle too, especially when they are right. Part of the reason Republicans are so successful, even in the minority, is that they are always on message and they never apologize, no matter how outrageous that message is. That puts Dems always on the defensive, which makes them look weak and ineffectual.

"Outrageous" though his speech/behavior may be, I have come to believe that speaking the truth is the only way to combat Republican propaganda. It has been well-demonstrated that the GOP has indeed perfected the "Mighty Wurlitzer" over the last 30 years of US politics, and they continue to control the dialog. How about more commentators point out that Glen Beck is insane, Rush Limbaugh is a racist and Jonah Goldberg is irredeemably stupid? We can turn the other cheek all we want, but the truth shall set you free. Let Congressman Grayson apologize when he STOPS telling the truth. No need to be nast about it, just point out what they have done over the last eight years or so.

So, this post will be followed by the ritual kabuki post in which you complain that Democrats always lose because they're wimps who constantly second guess themselves. He's awesome. Enjoy it.

That attitude is all New York... Grayson's from the Boogie Down, he's a Bronx Science alum.

BX, stand up!

I say more power to him. He may or may not get reelected, but someone has to be out there calling the Republicans on all this bullshit. Just because he is a politician doesn't mean he has to act like a blind fool like Pelosi and company.

@Conchie Birdie: And!?!?!?! The reason Florida has so many crazies is the Northerners move down here. Stay at home and f-up Pennsylvania or something; leave my home state alone!

if he really wants to raise money the raucous way this fine bloviating homunculus should yell "you lie!" or some such carbon-neutral variant. didn't mr. wilson raise almost $2mil? or perhaps he'd care to trade the monopoly money tie for one featuring some "trivial pursuit" cards?

Why should the Republican Party have a monopoly on politicians who talk shit? I'd love to see more ballbusters like Barney Frank and Alan Grayson in the Democratic Party.

Really, if any professional publication can, and should, avoid using inane ASCII symbols it's Gawker, innit? The word is in quotes, after all. Whose delicate sensibilities are you trying to protect here?

Because I am a complete loser, I notice (I think) that you changed the headline. Really what's the point of not writing out the whole word "FAGGOT"? Knowing-- as many of us do!-- which word "FA**OT" refers to, are we to be less offended (or, in the case of my faggot ass, more not offended) if we don't have to look at all of the letters?

Arnold has a list of 10 jokes. He makes the same funnies over and over again. He has a big lump of clay for a head.

Ya know what? I got the subtle impression they didn't like him much. I don't know. I just can't tell anymore without somebody holding a sign comparing the speaker to Hitler.

"Gay drama". People were talking about state cutbacks, furloughs, the foreclosure crisis after Arnold left. You think this video showed "gay drama" because of one heckler's remark? Gay marriage didn't seem to be a part of this video, it didn't seem even uh, mentioned.

And the disastrous Governator seemed quite flappable- he seemed to make his comments in a hurry and got out of there quick. Believe it or not, SF politics is not entirely gay-centric, and this video seems to have little relation to the way you're selling it. "Gays vs Arnold!" it certainly wasn't.
