In an attack ad labeling his opponent " Taliban Dan" Webster, U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson uses Webster's own words to prove the Republican thinks wives should be subservient to their husbands.
One problem: The Grayson campaign edited the original video, chopping it up and taking Webster's words out of context. Webster actually was advising husbands to bypass those particular Bible passages, according a longer video clip released Monday by Webster's campaign.

But by twisting Webster's words, Grayson risks eroding some of the support he may have won from independent voters.

Good to see the Sentinel come out against Grayson.
Would have been better if anyone actually read the Sentinel.
But every little bit helps.
This goes far beyond the usual campaign rhetoric and needs to be clearly defined as such! The choice for District 8 is simple, you have one candidate who has demonstrated that he has no compunction in lying to retain office. This being the case, what prevents him from lying to any of his other constituents!
I saw a Poll where the mentally ill Grayson is 8 points behind. He can always get a job at MSNBC
A political ad which takes the opponent’s words out of context or which twists their meanings? Who would have thought such a thing was possible? </sarcasm>
I get ill watching Grayson speak, he reminds me of a food processor with the top off. He is detestable.
The only bad report I've seen was on the Brighthouse Cable new (News 13), where they refused to play the videos, and presented it as a "he said, he said" story.
I wrote to complain to the station, and they (of course) said that they were being "fair".
The email did mention that they will have both candidates on their political analysis show "The Agenda" this weekend. Anyone who has Brighthouse cable in central Florida and is interested in this race may want to watch.
