*During a floor speech on [[health care]] Grayson stated that "Republicans want you to die quickly." <ref>http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0909/27726.html</ref> After calls to apologize, Grayson said that "I apologize to the dead and their families that we haven’t voted sooner to end this [[holocaust]] in America." <ref>http://blogs.abcnews.com/thenote/2009/09/rep-grayson-doesnt-apologize-compares-health-care-shortcomings-to-holocaust/comments/page/2/</ref>
*In October 2009, Grayson called an adviser for [[Federal Reserves Reserve]]s Chairman [[Ben Bernanke]] a "K Street whore." <ref>http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2009/10/27/politics/politicalhotsheet/entry5425045.shtml</ref>
*In an interview on [[MSNBC]]'s Hardball, Grayson said that "I have trouble listening to what [Cheney] says sometimes because of the blood that drips from his teeth while he’s talking, but my response is this: he’s just angry because the president doesn’t shoot old men in the face. But by the way, when he was done speaking, did he just then turn into a bat and fly away?" <ref>http://www.politico.com/blogs/scorecard/1009/Alan_Grayson_v_Chris_Matthews.html</ref> Later on an interview on the same program, he told former [[Vice President Cheney]] to STFU, an abbreviation for "shut the f-ck up." <ref>http://wdbo.com/localnews/2009/12/grayson-tells-cheney-to-stfu.html</ref>
