Congressman Alan Grayson: Dishonest Scum
— DrewM

Congressman Alan Grayson is a well known jackass. He goes well above the normal amount of jackassery one would expect from your average Democrat and regular Keith Olbermann guest.

His recent ad attacking his Republican opponent explores new depths in dishonesty, again, even above that of your normal Democrat. Grayson compares challenger Daniel Webster to an Islamic fanatic in his views on women.

Well, Caleb Howe at Red State has the video of the speech from which those Webster clips were taken. Not only does Grayson's ad take those soundbites out of context, it actually reverses the context entirely.

Grayson is a disgrace and he's flat out lied to the voters of his district. This clown needs to go down and go down hard. Here's Daniel Webster's website.

Thanks to Baseball Crank for the heads up.

8 I'm not sure who is more worthy of scorn.  Grayson, or the brainless Obamabots who automatically went party line in 2008 and voted him into office?  If they don't dispose of him in November, we'll know the answer.

Left-wing democrats across the nation are hitting the desperation point.
It's a common theme.  Michael Bennet(D-CO)...( voted for the Obama/Pelosi/Reid extreme left-wing agenda 98% of the time) is running similar ads.

Republicans are going to rape you and take away all of your reproductive rights just like the Taliban!

I smell desperation.

Hot air has a poll with McMahon down by 3 in CT.

Also a poll showing Manchin down in WV. The RNC needs to find every clip of Manchin with Obama or talking about Obama and put it in a commerical. The hatred of Obama in WV is palpable.

Doesn't Grayson represent a R+ district? he can't win again can he?

So much has been said about this dishonest gasbag but I'll ad my own brief experience.

Last March, the weekend healthscare passed, this fool was trying to stir up shit in the middle of the tea party rally.  Getting in arguments and everything. He was as bombastic and clownish as he is on TV. 

The guy is mentally imbalanced, it's not a schick.  No one was filming him or anything, he had no reason to be out there.  Just trying to stir up trouble, milling around in the middle of a giant crowd. 

Not a single Dim besides him did this to my knowledge.  Even Lewis had a purpose walking through the crowd with a camera.

14 Like Mr. Webster, I'm a traditional family man who feels somewhat protective towards women. However, stoning them and the like is too extreme for even my conservative leanings. While I find it unsettling that the news has come from someone as distasteful as Rep. Grayson, he has persuaded me to stay at home with my wife this election day, once I find the right girl and marry her.

Posted by: Average Joe at September 28, 2010 06:08 AM (bN5ZU)

15 Grayson also is running an ad which says Webster is a draft dodger...literally says draft dodger.  In fact Webster reported to his physical the day after he graduated from college.  He was medically unable to be drafted.

21 how in the hell did this guy get elected???  It's a mystery to me... and I live just one district over (Kosmas) He won because he wasn't Ric Keller. Keller almost got edged out in the primary by an unknown. He also violated his personal pledge to limit the number of terms he would serve. There was a lot of anti Keller sentiment at the time and Grayson exploited the opportunity.

he was also in the ROTC. The VFW or some other veterans group is real pissed at Grayson because he uses their imagine in his commericials, when they clearly don't endorse him.

Did Grayson serve in the military? Something tell me he was involved in those experiments where the army gave soldiers LSD everyday

This latest Grayson piece is particularly distressing to me because Dan is a friend of my boyfriend and is an utterly decent guy. And his wife? One of the nicest people you'll ever meet. She doesn't deserve to have her husband wrongly maligned like this. Webster is such a good guy that the guy who came in second to him in the primary didn't just endorse him but is actively supporting him, walking precincts, etc.

This is really personal now.

Weew ... did you go to the Spending Revolt rally in Titusville last week? Are you working on Sandy Adams's campaign?

The party of draft-dodging, dope-smoking, corruption and Communist sympathies has no right to attack anyone, much less a decent man like Webster.

Grayson's the Perfect Democrat.

I think Raese can win in WV.

A lot of West Virginians really hate Obama, and not just for policy reasons if you get my drift. 

 It's not some random coincidence that the State overwhelmingly votes democrat, had two democratic senators, a democratic governor, but McCain got 56% to Obama's 43%.

I've had to endure The Idiot Grayson for far too long, as have my Mouse House compadres. This guy is one restraining order away from being tossed in a rubber room. He was only elected when the normally red voters down here decided to "punish" the GOP for their BS.

43 It's like some kind of joke.  There's a Simpsons episode where Homer is accused of sexual harassment, and he's interviewed about it by a TV reporter.  But the videotape is edited so Homer appears to admit that he "grabbed her sweet can." 

http://tinyurl.com/2438dcm

This is like that.  Only real life.  God, what a world -- where the Democrats actually do what the writers of The Simpsons make fun of. 

As cynical as I am, this is actually somewhat shocking.  The Leftists are usually a little more subtle than this.

Grayson on Alex Jones' radio show:

“Here I am, the only member of Congress who actually worked as an economist. And she’s, this lobbyist, this K Street whore, is trying to teach me about economics.”

Grayson on Dylan Ratigan's show:

“Well, I have the benefit of working as an economist for 4 years before I was elected to Congress, and that does give me insight into how all this works.”

Fact check:

Doren called GraysonÂ’s offce to find out the truth. The person Doren spoke with over the phone said three times that he definitely is not an economist. He definitely did not work as an economist. He is a lawyer. Doren asked about his Wikipedia page that said he worked as an economist for 2 years.

The person Doren spoke with, said the Wikipedia page is not true, he never worked as an economist.

His staff member specifically said Grayson would NEVER say he worked as an economist because it is not true.

Yeah, here in PA we've had non stop Sestak and Onorato(gov candidate) ads.

Onorato is screwed, because the Republican Candidate, Corbett, is a Christie like republican. He is a popular AG who has busted all sorts of corrupt politicians. Also Ed Rendell is greatly disliked which hurts Onorato.

Sestak's ads have closed the gap a bit. I think Toomey will win by 4 points, but it won't be the blowout it appears to be right now. The unions always get their men to turn out.

It would then be harder for any individual scam slam to get traction and would expose the Democrats lack of anything else to run on.

via DrudgeReport:

A gunman who fired several shots in the Perry-Castaneda Library on the UT campus is dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound and police are looking for a possible second suspect, officials say.

Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo confirmed that the shooter is dead, but UT continues to be locked down, and people are urged to stay out of the area.

Officials say it appears there are no other injuries. UT spokeswoman Rhonda Weldon said witnesses had reported that the man was armed with automatic weapon.

“The shooter is dead on the sixth floor of Perry-Castaneda Library, said Don Hale, a UT spokesman. “No identification. Apparently took his own life.”

“We don’t have any report of anybody getting shot at this point,” Hale said.

Speaking of political ads, I'm glad that Bill White in TX finally decided to let some of his inner liberal shine through.

He's running an ad now where he points out all of these EVIL PERRY-AFFILIATED CRONIES who now apparently get rich off of medical insurance and the blood of virgins, but mostly medical insurance.  He contrasts himself as "on my side" by claiming that, when elected governor, he will require that medical insurance companies justify any rate hikes and seek his approval first.

Insurance Company:  Hey Bill, we're gonna need to raise premiums.
Bill White:  WHAT?  Inconceivable!  Why?
Insurance Company:  Well, seeing as how you made it a point to be in the complete opposite corner of the state whenever he was around, this may come as a shock to you, but...the President, you know, a Democrat, he passed this healthcare bill that's basically going to run all of us into the red unless we raise rates.
Bill White:  Figure out a way to blame it on Teh Ebil Perry, and call me back.

When Democrats make the decision to let go of the 2 top races in Pennsylvania and focus on saving the congressional ones, Sestak will lose by about 7-8.

The GOP had the governor's office in the bag because 1) Dems & the GOP have been trading the office every eight years for about the last 40 years, and 2) Rendell sucks and people are tired of him and the Democrats.

The Dems are rumored to have let Kanjorski twist in the wind -- no party funding or support. He's behind in the polls. The one tight race is Carney -- his internals show him up by eight but all other polls show him trailing by at least four. He's running lots of negative ads and may very well win. If he does the GOP will beat him in 2012 unless they run a terrible candidate. That's their problem this year.

97 According to Leo Rosten's "The Joys of Yiddish" the spelling is in fact "KURVAH" or "KORVEH." I stand corrected.

98 I stand corrected. Posted by: J.J. Sefton at September 28, 2010 11:48 AM

If I'm remembering what little I know about the subject correctly, Yiddish sort of "sprang up" and never had a formal orthography. It evolved as it went along, and is primarily a spoken language.

What little Yiddish I can speak -- mostly individual words and hoary aphorisms passed down from a variety of Jewish Grandmothers -- doesn't make it possible for me to read it.

Even Rosten -- a real mensch -- knew he couldn't write the definitive treatise on Yiddish. No one can. That's one of the things that makes it such a cool language.

100 someone should cut an ad showing Alan Grayson, Stephen Colbert, and Al Franken asking if we really want to be ruled by clowns. Then ask Mr. Grayson if he was seriously calling Daniel Webster an islamic fanatic. The man's an evil clown and we shouldn't have to take him seriously.

103 I think that's Nancy Pelosi in the burka.  Or is it Gloria Steinem?  Grayson is such a screwball.  If the voters in Orlando allow this man to represent them, they are to blame. He belongs in the Disney World of the damned.
