Congressman Alan Grayson Suggests a Burning Cross for Tea Party Logo
New York Magazine ^

Posted on 10/22/2013 1:35:32 PM PDT by nickcarraway

In an e-mail to supporters yesterday (and on his Tumblr), filter-deficient Florida congressman Alan Grayson, as is his wont, suggested that the t in tea party stands for a burning cross. As to his assertion that the tea party is actually "no more popular than the Klan," 26 percent of Americans support the tea party according to a new Washington Post/ABC News poll, and we couldn't find any polls measuring support for the KKK but ... it's probably lower than that.

Grayson does not offer a source for the claim in his e-mail. Instead, it was hyperlinked to a campaign-donations page.

I tried to contact him on his website, but, surprise, surprise, it wasn’t accepting emails from outside his district. Must be his fellow haters are congratulating him.

I still say Grayson is the love-child of Rex Reed and Alfred E. Neuman.

Its all fun and games for these degenerate socialist crooks until the right puts a stop to the parasite class and their enablers in DC stealing cash from us working stiffs via the legislative process.

Then these scumbags will have to try and take our money the old fashioned way, via armed robbery.

My logo for Grayson is an “L” stamped on his forehead.

Why can’t more people like him go down in flaming airplane crashes?

These people can’t argue the issue, instead they do that little tantrum name calling thing. It’s so low IQ.

Maybe the house ethics panel should censure the idiot.

Grayson is like a toddler pitching a fit - ignore him and he’ll shut up.

Grayson has been a real sicko radical flame thrower ever since he entered Congress! Somehow, after a two year absence, he managed to recapture a seat, which speaks volumes for the lunacy that's apparently prevalent in his district.

Here, even the lefty New York Magazine seems to have some trouble with his linking the Tea Party to the KKK, although their story about it is very short.

Hey, Grayson, are you that stupid not even to notice at first glance that the Tea Party welcomes members of all races while the KKK does not?

This is no different then what was going on inside NAZI Germany early on, the fascists need a scapegoat, in their case the “evil Jews”, here in America the fascists have picked conservatives and TEA Party members.

If the trend continues the public will demand that free speech doesn’t apply to the hate speech that flows from the mouth of conservative TEA Party members and must be banned and the state needs to round us up for our own good. You know, re-education camp’s.

Bill Ayers is quoted as saying that upwards of 30 million Americans will need to be “eliminated” in order to set up a communist state here.

Of course that number is higher now, me I am included as one of those to be “eliminated”, I’m too hard headed to re-educate.

"Hey, Grayson, are you that stupid not even to notice at first glance that the Tea Party welcomes members of all races while the KKK does not?"

That's not part of the media narrative. As for how Grayson got a seat back, FL voters approved a so-called "fair districts" initiative, which forced FL legislative Republicans to draw lines to help Democrats. It cost us at least 3 seats and included Allen West. Had they a free hand, as Democrats tend to when they're in the majority, Grayson could not have won a rematch against Dan Webster (who left political retirement for the sole purpose of removing Grayson in 2010). Grayson's new district was drawn to elect a Hispanic Democrat, which it didn't.

Alan Grayson's accusation of the tea party being like the kkk because the cross is also the t letter is an example of what can be called schizophrenic predicate thinking.

Predicate thinking works like this:

Indians are swift
Stags are swift
Indians are stags.

It is in contradistinction to logical thought such as the famous,

If Socrates is a man
and all men are mortal
therefore; Socrates is mortal.

This shows us how EFFECTIVE the Tea Party is. The left always fights extra dirty when there is fear in their “minds.”

This "Hate the Tea Party" tactic from 'Rats seems to have spread well beyond Washington, into local races.

In the NYC mayoral race, there was a debate earlier this week, in which ultra-left 'Rat and former HRC campaign operative, the arrogant Bill DeBlasio, was throwing "Tea Party" out ad nauseum in attacking his very RINO opponent, Joe Lhota. Lhota finally got tired of it and called DeBlasio "The Mad Hatter" for his obsession with the Tea Party. Worth a little laugh, but unfortunately too little, too late for Lhota.

Same repetitive "Tea Party" smears were used by Corey Booker against Steve Lonegan in their recent NJ Senate debate.

Democrats understand that most voters are simpletons.
