Democrat Rep. Alan Grayson Uses His Children as Human Shields at Town Hall Meeting
Monday, August 17, 2009 | Kristinn

The Orlando Sentinel reports Democrat Congressman Alan Grayson brought three of children to use as human shields at a town hall meeting tonight on health care. The Sentinel also reported Grayson found a new way to stack the meeting with supporters.

The paper reported that during a contentious point in the meeting, Grayson told a man to "knock off the bull" and invoked the presence of his children to try to keep the peace at the meeting.

As for Grayson's new way to stack the meeting, the local Democratic party held a meeting in the same room right before Grayson's town hall. They stayed and took up seats in the small 120 seat room.

"...I've got 3 children here, sir. Show some respect..."

Ranks right up there with;

"Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?"

These scumbags are providing lots of campaign ads for their opponents.

Neuter them in 2010

Not to defend these actions, however Grayson is one of the few congress critters to stick it to Bernanke and the shenanigans at the Federal Reserve....
