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.

That looks a lot larger than a 10 foot pole, nick.

I supported Herman Cain for president because he promised to wash and bleach my robes for me. < /ludicrous level sarcasm>

Who were the FReepers who called Grayson a “national treasure?” I can’t remember.

Tea partiers had our own ‘logo’.

We don’t need no stinking outsiders dictate logos for us.

It was a sad day in America when Grayson won his election.

Wrong party. Maybe it should go to the party of the KKK, or the party that interned many American Japanese in camps.

Every time I see an article about Grayson I know it’ll be entertaining and chock full of insanity! The tradition continues.

I’ve long since stopped seeing the Communists destroying my country as “entertaining”. Bob

Alan Grayson is the Burning Man. Or would be, if he wasn’t so damp.

I think there’s more hatred out there today than during the Civil War.
