The Florida Democrat manipulates video to make his opponent seem to urge wives to submit to husbands. He didnt.
September 27, 2010 Summary
We thought Democratic Rep. Alan Grayson of Florida reached a low point when he falsely accused his opponent of being a draft dodger during the Vietnam War, and of not loving his country. But now Grayson has lowered the bar even further. Hes using edited video to make his rival appear to be saying the opposite of what he really said.
In a new ad, Grayson accuses his Republican opponent Daniel Webster of being a religious fanatic and dubs him Taliban Dan. But to make his case, Grayson manipulates a video clip to make it appear Webster was commanding wives to submit to their husbands, quoting a passage in the Bible. Four times, the ad shows Webster saying wives should submit to their husbands. In fact, Webster was cautioning husbands to avoid taking that passage as their own. The unedited quote is: Dont pick the ones [Bible verses] that say, She should submit to me. Analysis
The ad compares Webster to religious fanatics in Afghanistan and Iran. It says Webster opposes abortion even in cases of rape or incest, which is true. But it also claims that Webster wants to impose his radical fundamentalism on us, and to support that claim it blatantly misuses a video clip of Webster speaking at a Christian conference in Nashville in 2009.

A Lunatic Madman is on the loose. He should be sent to Chattahoochee for observation.
I’m convinced Grayson is clinically “crazy”.
Leave Grayson alone!
He is Florida’s Clown Prince, our overpaid comic, our own real, live, walking, talking joke.
PS Every so often, he forgets to take his morning meds and is really off-the-wall funny.
Any one have any numbers on this race?
