Florida urologist Jack Cassell posted a sign on his office door reading, "If you voted for Obama ... seek urologic care elsewhere. Changes to your health care begin right now, not in four years."

Cassell, a registered Republican, quickly backpedaled in an interview with the Orlando Sentinel, but said he's perfectly happy to lose business over the sign. "I'm not turning anybody away, that would be unethical," he told the Sentinel. "But if they read the sign and turn the other way, so be it."

Patients who continue past the sign on Cassell's door find a waiting room stacked with Republican pamphlets opposing health care reform, underneath a sign reading, "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."

Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) told the Sentinel he was "disgusted" by Cassell's behavior.

"Maybe he thinks the Hippocratic Oath says, 'Do no good'," Grayson said. "If this is the face of the right wing in America, it's the face of cruelty. ... Why don't they change the name of the Republican Party to the Sore Loser Party?"

2. What specifically is he talking about?
What specifically is he talking about when he keeps mentioning this "timeline"? He's totally vague on that.

19. I still have no idea...
I still have no idea what he's whining about or pointing out to patience that they'd care about.

I mean, is his main goal to be in a physician-owned hospital or something?

Seriously, what is this guy's beef?

4. People who didn't vote for Obama tended to be pro-aggressive war, pro-torture, anti-science or
bigots. That is my kind of doctor!

5. Does anyone know what the hell the doctor was even talking about?
That was purely an un-factual fear based segment. The doctor didn't even explain.

11. Doctors are given way to much credit for overall intelligence...
Personally, I place a higher value on the services of a good auto mechanic any day!

8. At least you have an example of one doctor improving the healthcare of
his patients. He is refusing to see them. I guess that is why Teabaggers should not be patients.

I love the part where he asks, "Are you talking to me?". You are in a fucking interview!!! Of course he is talking to you.

Don't follow the "I am not refusing anyone, logic" I guess to be more specific, he is just telling people that he will refuse to see them if they voted for Obama, not actually refusing to see them? And the difference is what? If they keep insisting, even after he tells them he won't see them because of who they voted for in the last election, he will cave in and see them? What an asshole. All of his Obama supporters should grant his wish and leave him. Is he the only doctor in Orlando?

12. I don't believe I have ever been asked by a Dr. who I voted for ... like it would be
any of his/her business ... but as he seems to want to declare himself, in the long run I think the patients he loses will be far better off!

10. I just had a vasectomy
I mean, like, literally, today. My urologist was ranting about health care too. What is it about urologists.

15. I'm sure he'll become the darling of the Teabaggers.

Sarah Palin no doubt will take him on road trips and have him speak, etc, etc.

20. GOP printouts in his waiting room
According to this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLBN4LlBZfg
He has GOP timeline print outs in his waiting room.
His wife is an attorney and running for office.

A second sign in his office that accompanies the timeline handouts reads:
"This is what the morons in Washington have done to your health care, take one read it and vote out anyone that voted for it"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLBN4LlBZfg

FoxNews tosses in LIES/SPIN about Congressman Alan Grayson -- assholes as usual.

23. Really surprised at Neil Cavuto being a little tough on the doctor.
I thought he would be kissing his ass.
