Grayson: Tea Partiers Need Mental Help

Congressman Alan Grayson was in Ocala Monday to help dedicate the new headquarters of Telecom Services Bureau, a local call center that will hire 60 new employees using money from the American Recovery and Investment Act.

And during a visit to the Ocala Star-Banner, the famously polarizing freshman Congressman bragged about his accomplishments and shared his views on politics, policy and the Tea Party. Here’s a little bit of what he had to say.

On whether the Tea Party will be a force in the fall elections:

“It seems to me to be a very marginal group. Whenever there’s a rally on Capitol Hill, Fox lies about their numbers by several orders of magnitude.”

On the Tea Party, in general:

“It’s an entirely incoherent message manipulated largely by right-wing media. I listen to Glenn Beck from time to time. I think he’ s a crackpot. And I think these (Tea Partiers) are just mean people who are acting up. I can tell you that they should be glad that Health Care Reform has mental health coverage, because some of them need it.”

People seem to be paying this “marginal group” an aweful lot of attention! Seems like they are getting under the skin of some people!

Keep talking Grayson. You’re right up there with BO/BS in advancing the cause of the tea party movement.

Hmmmmmmmmm, sounds like the Democrats may be preparing to send us to the gulag.

I’m getting a little tired of unscrupulous, dishonest politicians denigrating the American public.

Hey Grayson!

How you gonna feel when you get your butt whipped by someone you believe has mental issues?

[Soothesayer]

They’ll call their gulag a “mental health clinic”.

[MrB]

Old Soviet tactic, and also one used by most totalitarians throughout history - characterize your opponents as insane.

I suppose, Mr Grayson, that you’d recommend that anyone of the “Tea Party mindset” should be incarcerated and drugged so that you won’t have to listen to them anymore.

This, coming from a man who is a walking advertisement for Thorazine.

Alan Grayson, the gift that just keeps on giving.
He may be the most honest politician in Washington. After all he is just saying what most (if not all) of them think of us poor hicks out here in flyover land.

[Thermalseeker]

The really sad part here is once this guy is voted out of office the taxpayers will support him with his full salary until he breathes his last......

[counterpunch]

We’re all going to laugh at this loser when he’s voted out in November.
