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.

What a coward. Was he afraid of friendly fire from his union goons?

Just like the Taliban and al-Qaeda; hiding behind women and children.

Pathetic. Simply pathetic. There is no other reason whatsoever for bringing his children to this meeting.

He knew full well in advance what to expect from this meeting.

What a spineless twerp, who can’t even strap on a pair to face his constituents like a man.

Grayson released a second statement, in which he said, “I’m sorry Limbaugh called for harsh sentences for drug addicts while he was a drug addict. I’m also sorry that he’s bent on seeing America fail. And I’m sorry that Limbaugh is one sorry excuse for a human being.”

Using your children as shields. You’re a real man, Grayson.

And one sorry excuse for a human being.

And father. Pity your poor children.

Grayson screws his voters with a bogus town hall meeting

"..Alan Grayson with his thinnly veiled move to hold a town hall where the disgruntled senior won't or can't attend. Grayson, one of Central Florida's Congressman from Florida's 8th Congressional District who is up for re-election in 2010..."

May this one be a 2010 election casualty!

Hmmmmm? Do you think the RAT is a "Tolerant Sympathizer"?

"...The hastily-called meeting was held in a relatively small union hall which limited attendance to about 120 or so members of the public. But it was held just after a regular meeting of local Democrats, some of whom stayed behind for the town hall in the scarce seats..."

Not surprised at all.

I am ready to wear my new line of protest clothing when I hear this:

I’m not shocked...this is from the party who voted against the Born Alive Infant Protection Act, and nominated a “man” who didn’t want his daughters “punished with a baby”. Ironic, isn’t it, how they accused Sarah of using Trig as a prop....

A Sentinel reader agrees with you:

This meeting was a joke. PRECEDED by an Orange County Democratic Party meeting. Easily 750 peopel (sic) outside. Grayson hides behind his 3 kids. He's a sick Democrat.
