[Dem Congressman] Grayson crashes local GOP meeting, tells Orange mayoral critic “take a walk”
The Orlando Sentinel ^ | April 9, 2010 | David Damron

U.S. Rep Alan Grayson, D-Orlando, walked in on an Orange County Republican Executive Committee meeting Thursday night at a Perkins restaurant and got into a confrontation with county mayoral candidate Matthew Falconer, a tense face-off caught by a couple cell phone cameras.

In the video, Grayson reads from a flier that describes a recent Republican infiltration of a pro-Obama group, and a promise to dish those details at this next GOP meeting. Grayson chides the Republican attendees for sinking so low as to spy on the other side.

Today, Grayson said he was attending a community home owner’s association meeting in another part of the restaurant that night, and decided to share his displeasure with the contents of the flier with the GOP party members.

“That’s political dirty tricks,” Grayson said today. “I went over to find out what their side of the story was, and whether they approved of that.”

Soon after he finishes reading the flier, Falconer demands Grayson apologize to Lew Oliver for what he said about him in a recent email: “Oliver couldn’t find his rear end with both hands, unless there was a twenty-dollar bill sticking out of it.” Falconer and Grayson encourage one another to leave in a pretty heated face-to-face.

“I gave them a chance to explain how they felt about it, and they didn’t do a very good job,” Grayson said today. “The Republican Party is resorting to its Nixonian roots: corruption, lying and spying.”(continued)

Talk about spin and lies. Watch the video. The mayor told Grayson to apologize and talk a walk!

Falconer should have ripped Shrek's nuts off and placed them on a buffet tray. Seriously, though, he needs to be declared a public nuisance and have an injunction issued against him at this point. I'd pay good money to see that loon protesting when the local cops drag him to a squad car in charm bracelets, with all the usual "Nazis! Fascists! Don't know know who I am?!?" gibberish flying out of his spittle-flecked mouth. I'd load him in the back of my unit head down and feet up, and be sure to hit every pothole I could between the scene and the precinct house. *BUMP* *BUMP* *BUMP* *"OW!"* *BUMP* *BUMP* A little collateral facial swelling might actually be a cosmetic improvement.

What an @$$hole. I watched the video and could even hear his NY accent. If a Republican did the same thing, the media would be calling for his crucifixion.

Azzhat just does like us using their “crashtheteaparty” tactics against them, esp since WE massively outnumber them.

NOW this about spying on the other side was extremely AMUSING.
