Ever since he explained that “Die Quickly” is the key feature of the Republican Health care Plan for the poor and middle classes, I have been a fan of Alan Grayson.  That’s what gave me the idea for “The RepubliCare Death Benefit”.  He has written a highly interesting piece about how he is being attacked by a website popular with the Republican base.  Here’s a taste:<\/font><\/p>\n

\"republicanreich\"Yesterday I had the temerity, the gall, the (dare I say it?) chutzpah to point out that for the past five months, every single elected Republican in Congress was a white Christian.<\/p>\n

The Nazis are not pleased. Frankly, I have never been a favorite of theirs, but now they are really pissed off.<\/p>\n

The “white nationalists” congregate at an online watering hole called Stormfront.org. The home page, in Fraktur font (look it up), proudly boast that “Every Month is White History Month”. Stormfront.org is famous for, among other things, trying to dictate the results of a Fox News online poll on racial segregation, because it takes one to know one, or something like that.<\/p>\n

Lest you think that this is a non-serious matter, please be advised that according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, Stormfront members have murdered almost 100 people during the past five years alone<\/strong>. No Members of Congress yet, though.<\/p>\n

So yesterday at Stormfront, under the heading “News,” subheading “Politics & Continuing Crises,” there popped up a report called “Jew revealed: Florida Rep. Alan Grayson attacks GOP as the party of white Christians.”<\/p>\n

The writer explained his sad tale: “I tried to unsubscribe before[,] yet this Jew keeps sending me his lunatic Europhobic and anti-Christian rant that reeks of atavistic hatred.” [Note to neo-Nazis: Punctuation has a purpose. Use it properly.]<\/p>\n

Talk about “atavistic hatred.” He didn’t call me a schweinhund. But he wanted to. I could tell…<\/p>\n

Those Stormfront Republicans sure were fast to jump to defend their party of choice.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
