Total Nut Case Rep. Alan Grayson Plans to File Complaint Against Anti-Obama Doctor
Alan Grayson: Go "Elsewhere" Doctor is About Race
He is such a liar!
To correct Grayson on his own district’s demographics, “Mount Dora is 75.1% White, 12.3% African American, 0.9% Native American, 3.6% Asian, 0.1% Pacific Islander, 5.5% from other races, and 2.4% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race [represent] 12.5% of the population.”

Congressman Plans to File Complaint Against Anti-Obama Doctor
An outspoken U.S. congressman is planning to file a complaint against the central Florida urologist who posted a sign on his office door warning supporters of President Obama to find a different doctor.
A spokesman for Rep. Alan Grayson, who angered Republicans last year when he said they wanted sick Americans to "die quickly," told FoxNews.com that Florida Democrat is helping a constituent who was affected by the sign to file a complaint next week with the proper authorities. Grayson will also file additional complaints with all relevant boards or agencies, Grayson spokesman Todd Jurkowski said.
Cassell told Fox News on Friday he wasn't refusing care to patients but wanted to educate them on how the new health care law would affect them.
"I came across the timeline for implementation of Obamacare and I got a little discouraged when I got to next year when I found that most of the ancillary services and nursing homes and diagnostic imaging, all these things start to fade away," he told Fox News' Neil Cavuto. "And I felt that my patients really need to know about this. And the more I thought about it, the angrier I got until I finally felt like I'm going to put a little splash page on my front door and just get people thinking a little bit."
Cassell, 56, also provides Republican reading material in the waiting room -- probably not a risky move, given that Mount Dora's 10,000 residents and the surrounding area lean heavily conservative. Above a stack of GOP health care literature, a sign reads: "This is what the morons in Washington have done to your health care. Take one, read it and vote out anyone who voted for it."
A spokeswoman from the Florida Department of Health, which licenses physicians and investigates complaints, said Friday there was no law prohibiting Cassell from advertising himself this way.
"Because there is no statute, there would be no grounds for a complaint," spokeswoman Eulinda Smith said. "It would be legally deficient."
But Grayson appears undeterred, arguing the Cassell has violated the Hippocratic Oath when he turned away patients on the basis of political beliefs.
His spokesman, Jurkowski, told FoxNews.com that at least one person followed the instructions on the sign and there could have been more.
"I think a reasonable person would deemed that being turned away," Jurkowski said.
A University of Florida professor said Cassell is walking a thin line between free speech and professional obligation. William Allen, a specialist in bioethics, law and medical professionalism, said civil rights protections can prevent patient discrimination. But the law only provides for race, gender, religion, sexual orientation and disability -- not political opinion.
Allen said Cassell may be within his rights if he doesn't quiz patients about their politics and hasn't refused to see anyone.
"(He's) trying to hold onto the nub of his ethical obligation," Allen said. "But this is pushing the limit."
Cassell has been practicing in the area since 1988. His wife, Leslie Campione, is a lawyer and GOP candidate for the county commission.
Cassell told Fox News that most patients have been extremely supportive.
"Ninety eight percent are energized," he said. "And once they read this timeline, they can't believe it. I started out just trying to figure out how to educate my patients but think every doctor in the United States needs to put this in their office."

Wild Thing's comment........
Yeah, Gayson. That'll go well, when over and over the doctor said he'd be happy to see anyone, and the sign was a expression of discontent at Obama's DeathCare.
Rep. Alan Grayson is a thug, and he’s about to find out that he doesn’t have as much power as he thinks. This government of the people, by the people, and for the people doesn’t belong to the socialists. It belongs to real Americans, and this doctor is one of us.
A spokeswoman from the Florida Department of Health, which licenses physicians and investigates complaints, said Friday there was no law prohibiting Cassell from advertising himself this way
“Because there is no statute, there would be no grounds for a complaint.”
So Grayson will once again look like the total idiot he is.

Democrats don't like free, unregulated speech. Unless it fits their agenda. It's that darn constitution again. Getting in the way of socialism.

So the demos just made it official only Blacks voted for obama. Isn't that what he's implying. What happened to freedom of choice.
First he should be able to pick and choose his patients. Second, this numbnutz Rep accused him of discrimination and violating his oath. He has done neither.
Also the Doctors Wife is an attorney, I just love it when a plan comes together. With that kind of artillery does this dork democrat really think, the Doctor would really put his career at risk. Also the town he has his practice if predominately Republican. So grayson can go suck and egg but since he works for Barney Frank...hehehe

Yes when I saw his wife was an attorney I had to laugh. Grayson better shut up and let this alone. He is so crazy and this is only one of the things he has mouthed off about.
