Free Republic

Far-left radical Congressman Alan Grayson represents Central Florida in Congress, but all he does is embarrass everyone, including himself, time after time. It was Grayson who claimed, on national TV, that the Republican Health Plan was for old people to "die quickly." He is the one who called a female Washington staffer a "K-Street Whore," and much more. This is the Grayson who recently accused his opponent, Dan Webster of being in the Taliban because he advocated respecting one's marriage! All this from the Grayson who spent time locked in a DC-area mental hospital early in his legal career. Grayson...

In one of the most closely watched U.S. House races in the nation, Republican Daniel Webster now holds a 7-point lead over Democratic Rep. Alan Grayson in Central Florida's 8th Congressional District, according to a new Sunshine State News Poll.

Being the target of rough criticism is an occupational hazard for public officials, especially those as high-profile as a U.S. congressman. Any politician who pursues legal action against critics, even critics who may not have followed the letter of the law, calls into question his commitment to the First Amendment's guarantee of free speech. It's an odd and ironic response from Mr. Grayson, one of the most intemperate voices in Washington.

Alan Grayson of Orlando took such offense at a parody website aimed at unseating him that the freshman Democrat has asked that U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder investigate the Lake County activist who started the anti-Grayson website “mycongressmanisnuts.com.” Specifically, Grayson accuses Republican activist Angie Langley of lying to federal elections. His four-page complaint highlights the fact that the Clermont resident lives outside his district, but that Langley still uses the term “my” in “mycongressmanisnuts.com.” “Ms. Langley has deliberately masqueraded as a constituent of mine,...

A group of angry Florida voters has launched the Web site MyCongressmanIsNuts.com in a drive to oust Democrat Rep. Alan Grayson, the outspoken congressman who grabbed national headlines earlier this month by calling an adviser to the Fed chairman a "K Street whore." The site is raising money to defeat the Orlando-area congressman and the site's organizers describe it as a "more appropriate alternative" to Mr. Grayson's CongressmanWithGuts.com, which the Grayson campaign says helped raised more than $250,000 in the first three weeks of October. As of Friday morning, the "Nuts" site took in about $3,335 since its launch Thursday...
