Democratic congressman Alan Grayson is a very colorful man, and in keeping with that reputation, during an appearance on Al Sharptons MSNBC show Thursday, he said the tea party is just about as popular as the KKK and compared John Boehner to Dr. Jekyll, among other things.
Grayson joined Sharpton in bashing the tea party, saying Americans want them out of their lives and at this point, the tea partys no more popular than the Klan.
This is not the first time Grayson had made this comparison, saying in 2010 that the attendees of Glenn Becks big rally were wearing sheets over their heads 25 years ago.
Grayson predicted that the GOP is a dying party, on its way out like the Whigs were. He told Sharpton they want to bring about the end of days and cause utter destruction like the largest suicide pact in history. Grayson said its time to vote out tea partiers theyre not doing anything useful for the benefit of the country.
But its not just the tea partiers who need to go in Graysons mind, John Boehner needs to join them. He called the House Speaker a short-order cook for the far-right wing, and saying that the useless Boehner used to be Dr. Jekyll and now hes morphed into Mr. Hyde.
I agree. But yesterday's special election results in NJ and the fact that so called "moderates" like John McCain feel it's safe to be name calling average Americans who want nothing but fiscal responsibility from our government tells me there is room for improvement in the PR department.
I have faith that Ted Cruz will be able to handle such attacks. He needs our support.
Like they say about Flak being over the target.
Pray for America to Wake Up
He’s actually certifiably insane.
Yes, it’s true. The Klan has always has been very popular.
With Southern Democrats such as Alan Grayson.
(Heh, heh...heh, heh.. )
The KKK was a democrat organization... this guy needs to pick up a history book...
Democratic congressman Alan Grayson... during an appearance on Al Sharptons MSNBC show Thursday... [regarding] the tea party, saying Americans want them out of their lives and "at this point, the tea party's no more popular than the Klan." ...predicted that the GOP is a dying party... like the Whigs... they "want to bring about the end of days" and cause utter "destruction" ...said it's time to vote out tea partiers... called the House Speaker a "short-order cook for the far-right wing,"...What are their FR nicks?
I wonder if this buffoon knows the KLAN is the Democrat Party.
I thought it was the Democrats who were aborting themselves out of existence, not the Tea Party. Now there’s a suicide pact for you!
I am putting Rep Grayson and his staff on notice. If, while attending a Tea Party or Overpass for Impeachment rally I am physically assaulted in any way and there is the slightest indication the perpetrator was influenced by Grayson’s outrageous remarks, I will file suit against Mr. Grayson personally on the grounds of vicarious liability. This legal maneuver, most ironically, was successfully used by the SPLC and NAACP against White supremacist John Metzger in a racially motivated murder case. I tried to contact this j@rk-off via his website, but couldn’t. The gutless wonder only accepts communications from constituents within his distrct
