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.

I wouldn't be surprised if Grayson has some history of real violence somewhere along the way. The symbolism of the KKK cross burning may be a projection of his own violent thoughts upon his scapegoat, the Tea Party.

Please see my post # 59.

Oh Indeed! It is a well-known “Mental Mechanism” called “Projection”.

It was yet sadder when he got re-elected to Congress thanks to redistricting. He was a one-termer before that.

I posted about this yesterday from another source http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3082754/posts .
Some posters made an excellent analogy to Grascum and the Westboro Baptist Church. There’s been lots of speculation as to whether Fred Phelps himself is a closet homosexual, given his so called church’s legendary incessant hatred of homosexuality. Using this line of thought, a**holes like Grayson who throw the race card at anyone with a different view must be closet racists themselves. Istead of coming to terms with his own racist attitudes, he needs to project them on others, and the TEA Party is a perfect target.

“..but unfortunately too little, too late for Lhota.”

Now that we see what the leftists are up too, we need to start, EARLY and OFTEN, with a mantra of our own.
