Death calls, violent Tweets for Grayson (Kooky Congressman alert)
Central Florida News 13 ^ | July 22, 2010 | Kelli Cook

Orlando -- Congressman Alan Grayson told News 13 he was the victim of a death threat Wednesday.

The threat comes one day after a conservative leader of the Virginia-based Media Research Center posted a message on Twitter offering a cash reward to anyone who punched Grayson in the nose.

According to Grayson, his intern picked up the phone yesterday and was told 10 people are going to kill the Congressman within 24 hours.

The Congressman says Capitol Police are investigating.

This has been a tough week for the freshman representative, this after Dan Gainor posted on his Twitter page that he would offer $100 to anyone that would punch him in the nose. Gainor later tweeted that it was just a joke, but would like to see the video.

I can’t help but wonder if Capitol Hill Police, the FBI and the Secret Service become busier as the socialists/marxists in the federal government continue to force Americans down the path towards socialism.

While I don’t condone any of the bad behavior I just can’t find it in my heart to feel sorry for this clown. The garbage that spews from him on the floor of the house and every interview I have seen him give just disgusts me. I certainly hope there is someone out there that can give this guy a run for his money. And he certainly does have plenty of money in his favor. Sad.

Let's see now...the last melodrama for "goofy" grayson was several months ago when his little son was taking "death threat" calls for him at his home.

But surprise...he's still around.

He needs to read about "The Boy Who Cried Wolf Stupid".

What happened down there? When I lived there around 1998-2000 the area was fairly conservative and had conservatives like Ric Keller in office. Has there been a population shift?

The guy has a lot of education and a very impressive resume. But that doesn’t change the fact that the guy looks like his mother nursed him on Thunderbird.

That one was cleared up. Turns out his son was making the death threat calls from an extension line. /s

This guy is a total loon. Nobody's trying to kill him, unless it's loon season.

Rabbit season.

Loon season.

It has been said that Hollywood is the Washington of stupid people, while Washington is the Hollywood of homely people;)

This guy reminds me of “Gomer Pyle” on “Full Metal Jacket”.
