Dan Webster would be hard-pressed to make himself heard in a library. So the soft-spoken congressman didn't have a chance Tuesday when his town-hall meeting turned into a political food fight. It seems liberal activists learned a lesson from the tea party. They came; they shouted; they disrupted. It worked for the tea party in attacking Democrats over ObamaCare. And it is working for liberals in attacking Republicans over RyanCare. The Webster town hall was covered by National Public Radio and reported not only on our front page but also on the front page of The New York Times.We love...

gunsamerica.com reports that police have nabbed Internet fraudster Paul Webster. Not to put too fine a point on it, Webster has been selling guns that don’t exist. Lots of them. “He has claimed victims from nearly every popular internet discussion forum, posting guns for sale several hundred dollars below their value, and he has also surfaced on all of the major gun buying and selling websites, as well as the internet gun auctions.” gunsamerica.com is pissed—at other blogs . . . GunsAmerica is the only website involved in this case that has had active and aggressive contact with law enforcement....

Noah Webster first published his Dictionary on APRIL 14, 1828. This 26-year project with 30,000 new definitions, standardized spelling and gave American English its identity. Proving unprofitable, the rights were purchased after his death by George and Charles Merriam. In the preface of his original edition, Noah Webster wrote: “In my view, the Christian religion is the most important and one of the first things in which all children, under a free government ought to be instructed…No truth is more evident to my mind than that the Christian religion must be the basis of any government intended to secure the...

All right... all you guys... listen up! I just got off the phone with Sarah Palin. She is coming to Orlando for a big Victory 2010 rally.... and she has invited all vets to attend for free! That's right, she wants all us current and former Grunts, Squids, Blue suiters, Marines, and Coasties to be her special guests this Saturday, October 23d. The event is at the Marriott World Center near Walt Disney World. Admission is normally as much as $90 for this Victory 2010 fundraiser, with all the profits going to ensure a strong Conservative victory this year! If...

In 1991, career politician Daniel Webster introduced HB 593, which would have banned happy hours and drinking games in all bars in Florida. Yes, believe it or not, Daniel Webster wants to prohibit happy hour. Congressman Grayson said, “Big-Government Daniel Webster wants to keep government out of your life, unless you are working, eating, drinking, resting or sleeping.” Why does Daniel Webster want to ban happy hours in Florida? You will have to ask him.

Central Florida's largest newspaper is endorsing challenger Dan Webster over Democratic Rep. Alan Grayson in the 8th Congressional District race, calling Grayson's antics -- including misrepresenting Webster's discussion of the Bible -- an "embarrassment" for Floridians. The Orlando Sentinel editors wrote in Friday's edition that Grayson "carries the hyper-partisan fever" and Webster is the "antidote."

Freshman Democrat Congressman Alan Grayson, who recently warned that people would become cannibals should the government spend less money, is in the race of his life against Republican challenger Daniel Webster in Florida. Last month Grayson released a fraudulent campaign ad against Webster that was almost universally condemned. Well, it looks like Grayson did not learn his lesson and is at it again. It has been revealed that late last month, the Grayson campaign launched a group on Facebook called "Mind of Daniel Webster," which was intentionally made to look real. For example, looking at the "group information" at first...

Near the end of World War II, the United States dropped an atomic bomb on the major Japanese metropolitan city of Hiroshima. A necessary evil, the United States government believed that by showing the Japanese such a weapon of war that they would surrender. After dropping a second bomb on Nagasaki, the Japanese did just that: surrender. 100,000 people died in Hiroshima. However, apparently Democrat Alan Grayson is unaware of that because yesterday he stated that his campaign is "Ground Zero" and that his campaign has seen "destruction that was seen at Ground Zero in Hiroshima." Mr. Grayson is in...

The Florida chapter of the National Organization for Women has endorsed incumbent Congressman Democrat Alan Grayson in his reelection race against Republican Daniel Webster. This comes as Grayson has fallen rapidly in the polls since airing a falsified ad in which Grayson stated that his opponent was the equivalent of a terrorist, calling Webster "Taliban Dan." The ad showed video of Mr. Webster saying "submit to me" repeatedly, with the implication that Webster wanted women to be ruled by men. It was quickly revealed that Grayson's campaign heavily edited the video and knew what they were releasing was a lie....

Democrat Alan Grayson is in the political race of his life. Running for the House of Representatives, the first-term Congressman is in a close race with Republican Daniel Webster. Recently Grayson released a political advertisement that stated that his opponent was part of an American Taliban and that Webster wished to subjugate women... The ad, and Grayson himself, received a firestorm of condemnation from the right and even a few on the left after it had been discovered that Grayson's campaign had knowingly doctored the video featured in the ad. Instead of showing Daniel Webster, who Grayson calls "Taliban Dan,"...

One of Florida's local stations, WKMG, decides to defend Grayson and slam Webster. I guess even some liberals stick by the most disgusting lies.

How “low can you go” I ask? USA House of Representatives Rep. Alan Grayson,(D/FL),who is extreme to put it in a nice way, REALLY has gotten as of late, NASTY. Proof in the pudding is the recent attack ads against his conservative opponent, Daniel Webster. This attack ad coming from Rep. Grayson is the WORSE I have seen and believe me, I have seen my share of political attack ads. Here Rep. Grayson compares Mr. Webster to the of all people, “the Taliban”! IMHO, this should come as no surprise. What this video shows in full that it is a...

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.

This, in one post, will show you why this outlier will not win and how the Democrats today speak out of both sides of their mouths. In Connecticut they continually whack Linda McMahon for running a “dirty campaign”. Negative, they call it. And yet on Sunday the Democrat party tells the NY Times they intend to dial up the mud. It seems whatever they accuse Republicans of, why that’s exactly what they intend to do. Florida Congressman Alan Grayson is exhibit “A”, although this is despicable for even him. Both of these videos are from Hot Air and you’ll get...

We criticize MSNBC enough for its naked advocacy on behalf of the Democrats and Barack Obama, so in all fairness, we should note that they do have limits … and Alan Grayson apparently found them. Contessa Brewer engages Grayson on his disgraceful, dishonest “Taliban Dan” smear and — to her credit — refuses to let him off the hook for it. At one point, Grayson accuses Brewer of distracting attention from women’s issues, but Brewer fires back and tells Grayson that he approved the ad and its own off-message smears and out-of-context quotes. If Grayson was serious about the issues,...

Alan Grayson attacked Dan Webster in a sick and far out ad and Webster just showed him to be a liar by releasing a video showing what he said.

Rep. Alan Grayson is currently running one of the most over-the-top ads of any serious candidate running for office this cycle — comparing his opponent to an Islamic fundamentalist while showing himself playing with kids. Grayson’s deceptively edited attack ad makes it look like his opponent, Dan Webster, said wives should “submit” to their husbands, according to Factcheck.org. A female narrator in the the ad, dubbing Webster “Taliban Dan,” says, “Religious fanatics try to take away our freedom, in Afghanistan, in Iran and right here in Central Florida. Daniel Webster wants to impose his radical fundamentalism on us.” Then the...

Republicans are fuming over another attack ad from Florida Democratic Rep. Alan Grayson. The confrontational lawmaker, who falsely accused GOP opponent Daniel Webster of being a draft-dodger, now calls Webster "Taliban Dan" in an ad that FactCheck.org says uses "edited video to make [Webster] appear to be saying the opposite of what he really said."The "Taliban Dan" ad features video snippets from remarks Webster made to a Christian gathering in 2009. Addressing a group of men, Webster discussed the Biblical admonition for wives to submit to husbands, telling them they should not use the passage as a guide for...

Daniel Webster, a family man and small-business owner, has dedicated himself to serve the citizens of Central Florida with honor and integrity. During his tenure in office, he has proven himself to be a true statesman, standing by his principles and steadily advancing conservative values. As the state House Republican Leader in the 1990s, Webster engineered the successful Republican takeover of 1996, ending 122 years of Democrat control and becoming the first GOP Speaker of the House in over a century.

Summary Democratic Rep. Alan Grayson of Florida is falsely accusing his opponent of evading the Vietnam War draft, claiming "he doesn’t love this country." Republican candidate Daniel Webster didn’t "refuse the call to service," as claimed in a vicious TV ad featuring pictures of military graves and the sound of "Taps" being played on a bugle. In fact, the former Florida Senate majority leader was given routine student deferments until he completed his undergraduate degree. He then reported for a military physical and was disqualified for medical reasons. Analysis Rep. Grayson’s ad — entitled "Draft Dodger" — appeared in his...
