ALAN GRAYSON: Here's How I Plan To Make The Benghazi Investigation A 'Nightmare' For Republicans
AP yahoo business insider ^ | 5/20/2014 | Brett LoGiurato

Rep. Alan Grayson, a Democrat from Florida, has a plan to become Republicans' "worst nightmare" if he is indeed appointed by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to the select committee investigating the 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya. (clip)

Grayson said he would use the Benghazi hearings as an opportunity to draw attention to other issues important to "ordinary Americans" that have not received as much attention.

Following DeLauro's proposal, liberal groups hatched another idea: send Grayson. A petition on the CREDO group's website has already garnered more than 65,000 signatures.

Grayson said it's up to Pelosi to determine how she wants to approach the number of people she sends to participate. He said he's "ready, willing, and more than able" to be on the committee and, if he's chosen he would be Republicans' "worst and last nightmare."

Grayson also offered Business Insider a preview of what that "nightmare" would look like. During the proceedings, Grayson said he would attempt to draw attention to other issues for which he thought voters would also like select committees to be formed.

"I'll be asking why there's no select committee on income inequality. I'll be asking why there's no select committee on immigration reform. I'll be asking why there's no select committee on the minimum wage. I'll be asking why there's no select committee on anything that has anything to do with the lives of ordinary Americans," Grayson said.

Grayson predicted he would draw attention to the 60 people who died from embassy attacks under the Bush administration, as well as questioning why there wasn't a select committee established to investigate the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attack.

In light of this asshat’s blanket statement about TEA Partiers being klan members, I’ve put him an his staff on notice, if, while attending a TEA Party rally we are in any way assaulted, and there’s reason to believe the perpetrator was influenced by Grayson’s incendiary statements we will file suit against Grayson and his staff for vicarious liability. Ironically, this same legal tactic was successfully used by the NAACP and SPLC against White supremacist John Metzger involving a racially motivated murder, in which Metzger paid dearly.

If I were Mr. Gowdy, this guy’s microphone would operate about 3 seconds a day.

Doubt if he’s talked to any “ordinary Americans”. If he did,he might realize that the best thing for him would be to just keep his mouth shut & save himself some embarrasment.

As you are - - - - -
A Democrat.

I hope he will be asking as well about beauty inequality, and fashion inequality, and boobie inequality.

So let me get this straight...liberals want to set up obstacles and cause chaos to keep the families of Navy Seals, soldiers and CIA employees from finding out what happened to them in Benghazi. Liberals can be insensitive pricks if you find out they are to blame.

IRS? Fast & Furious? ObamaCare? VA hospital?

Anybody remember his “Die Quickly” display?

Remember, leftist dems like this a$$hat accuse others of what they’re actively doing...

While he was complaining that the republicans wanted Americans to “Die Quickly,” the VA under Obama and his regime were making sure that veterans were doing just that!

I did love it that time that Issa declared that the committee was in recess, and he shut off Cummings' microphone! That was EPIC!
