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.

If by sticking it to Bernanke you mean asking stupid questions, not understanding the answers and laughing to cover up his ignorance......he’s the king.

I just got home from the Town Hall. After they stacked the deck with Union members, and other ‘RATS in a room that only holds 125 people, they only let 31 more people in and I wasn’t one of them. There were hundreds and hundreds of people there and we all had to stand outside. What a JOKE!

The Democrats have a new party message to the voting public;

“We really don’t care what you say or think so you’re going to hear from us whether you like it or not.”

I’m Alan Grayson, Democrat and I actively support this message.

This is the same Grayson that laughed in Bernacke’s face. I really had high hopes for him.

It shows the cowardice displayed by subhumans with retarded apelike mentalities as opposed to true humans.

“I’m sorry Limbaugh called for harsh sentences for drug addicts while he was a drug addict.”

Drug ADDICTS, or drug DEALERS/KINGPINS? I don’t recall him commenting on drug sentences, but I think Rush would have meant the latter, not the former.

This guy is a real D-bag. He is the same wuss that Neil Cavuto pounded into dust concerning the executive pay bill they were trying to ram through a few months ago. If anyone could post that interview again I would appreciate it. Neil made him look like an absolute idiot.

Would you look at that suit, and did his mother tie that tie?

I ain't Brad Pitt, but that guy's district must be Inbreeding Central to elect something like that.

YouTube—Orlando Congressman Alan Grayson screws his voters with a bogus town hall meeting

Video at link...

http://www.examiner.com/x-14143-Orange-County-Conservative-Examiner~y2009m8d17-YouTubeOrlando-Congressman-Alan-Grayson-screws-his-voters-with-a-bogus-town-hall-meeting

He is one STRANGE looking character!

******

U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson, D-Orlando, picked a somewhat small union hall to host a town hall meeting tonight at 7:45, but a spokesman said the location was not picked to “stack the deck” and avoid critics.

Grayson’s spokesman Todd Jurkowski said moments ago that the choice of venue — the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers union hall at 820 Virginia Dr., which holds 125 to 150 people — was picked because it was free, available, and would not hold a crowd so large as to become unwieldy.

A union meeting will be breaking up right before the meeting is to start — but Jurkowski said the timing of Grayson’s session was not planned to keep out critics.

“What we would like is a well-represented crowd with a balance of viewpoints,” Jurkowksi said. “It wasn’t a conscious effort to stack the deck.”

******

Congressman Alan Grayson will hold a town hall meeting on health care in Orlando Monday night. He is scheduling a telephone town hall on health care reform on Thursday.

In a release sent exactly 24 hours before the town hall meeting, the freshman Democrat’s office says Grayson “intends for and expects this event to be a respectful and productive session.”

We can only hope he is voted out of office in 2010.

Grayson didn't seem to have a problem with Code Pink protesting!
