Cheesy Grayson Shamelessly Plays Race Card With Anti-Obama Doctor

Expect nothing less from the odious Alan Grayson. After this doctor created a furor with his anti-Obama message yesterday he pretty much backed off after getting his point across and said he would treat anyone.

But that's not stopping clown bombthrower Alan Grayson (a/k/a/ Fred Flintstone) from whipping out the race card in record time.
"Well, in fact, where he lives, in Mount Dora, which is in my district, many, many of the Democrats who live in Mount Dora happen to be African-Americans," Grayson said on CNN. "So, by saying that he will not treat somebody who supported Obama, he's saying that he's not going to treat a large number of African-Americans in the community."

Grayson, a freshman who represents a Republican-leaning district, gained national attention during the healthcare debate last year when he said the GOP's healthcare plan was for seniors to "die quickly."

Cassell has said that he is not violating medical ethics rules.

"I'm not turning anybody away — that would be unethical," Cassell, 56, told the Orlando Sentinel on Thursday. "But if they read the sign and turn the other way, so be it."

But Grayson said that he was violating the rules and that he will probably be disciplined by medical licensing authorities.

"How many people walked in -- walked up to his front door, saw the sign, and turned away?" he asked. "How many people referred from other physicians in the community, including primary care physicians, how many patients saw that sign and walked away?"

Asked what kind of punishment Cassell should receive, Grayson said "Well, whatever the medical authorities think he should get. But it is a clear violation of ethics, and it's a particularly ugly one. Why is it that the right wing is so preoccupied with denying people health? Why is that?"
Does Grayson even bother to check with the doctor himself or is he simply preoccupied with trashing Republicans and chance he gets, facts be damned? Is there a single "rightwing" doctor out there who is actually denying health care to anyone? Is there a single person in this country that needs help and does not actually get it? Of course not. If there was you can be assured buffoons like Grayson would be trotting them out for exploitation. A wealthy liberal like himself wouldn't dig into his own pocket to help someone out, but he's more than happy to bash Republicans without having the facts.

Let's hope Grayson's constituents have tired of this lame act and elect someone else.

Update: A comment from Matthew Gunnoe, the campaign manager for Dan Fanelli.
This is the type of trial-lawyer manipulation that has helped
net Grayson millions.

Where, in that famous little sign, does it say: If you’re black, I’m not going to treat you?

Nowhere.

This is Just Typical of a liberal to create an alternate reality
for political gain.

This is aside from the argument as to whether or not Dr. Cassell is refusing treatment of Obama supporters, which he denies. He stated clearly that he would not refuse any patient the best care; he’s only letting them know where he stands on Obamacare.

But that controversy’s not inciteful enough on its own; nofolks, this is now being turned into racism courtesy of Grayson.
