The National Republican Congressional Committee is raising money off Rep. Alan Grayson’s (D-FL) claim this week that the Republican health care plan is little more than a suggestion that sick Americans “die quickly.” Grayson has also called the health care crisis a “holocaust” and has called Republicans “foot-dragging, knuckle-dragging Neanderthals.”

Now it’s time for Republicans to do some name-calling. On the website alandisgrayson.com, the NRCC brands the Democrat Alan (dis)Grayson. The banner includes the words “Unethical. Embarrassing. Extreme.” And his “die quickly” comment “falls far short of any decent human being’s decorum.”

The time has come to send (dis)Grayson home. That is why, Leader Boehner and NRCC Chairman Sessions are pleased to announce the official “FL-08 Nominee Fund.” Any dollar donated to this fund will go directly to the Republican candidate who emerges from the primary to challenge (dis)Grayson in 2010.

There’s lots more on the site — including a poll on Grayson’s “most embarrassing moment since he took office.” At the time of this writing, “his disgraceful floor speech on health care” was beating “being named ‘the Congressman from ACORN,'” “admitting that he’d rather be on vacation than doing his job” and “requesting a $350,000 earmark for a controversial organization run by a ‘con-artist.'”

There’s also a three-photo gallery. One shows Grayson making a two-finger peace sign. Another shows him holding a “Stop the War” sign while standing next to a woman holding a pink peace symbol. The other shows him posing with a black man who looks a lot like J. Willie David. The caption on each of the photos is “the many disgraceful photos of Alan Grayson.”
