Amusing: Florida Demo congressman Alan Grayson gets asked about his offshore tax haven

It went about as well as you would expect...

Via Daily Caller:
Florida Democratic congressman Alan Grayson went on a profanity-laced tirade in an interview with a reporter who dared to ask him why he kept his cash in offshore tax havens.
Grayson was a staunch critic of then-Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney for holding money in off-shore accounts, and once demanded the IRS investigate every single Fortune 500 company to uncover their “offshore tax havens.” But in an interview with the Tampa Bay Times’ Adam Smith, he was confronted with evidence that his own corporations were incorporated in the Cayman Islands, a notorious tax haven.
Grayson was, needless to say, less than happy to be challenged on the point when contacted by Smith, calling it “some stupid, bullsh*t story… You want to write sh*t about it, and you can’t because not a single dollar of taxes has been avoided.”
“Are you f*cking kidding?” he continued. “I set up a fund that might solicit foreign investors… I have no present intention of soliciting foreign investors. Your perception issue is bullsh*t.”
“This is a whole ‘nother level of bullsh*t… Are are you some kind of shitting robot? You go around shitting on people?” he asked.

 War on women alert...

Via Orlando Sentinel:
A judge has granted a temporary protective injunction against U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson, after his wife filed paperwork accusing the Orlando congressman of shoving and injuring her during an incident this weekend.
Lolita Grayson’s petition for the injunction, dated Monday, says her husband pushed her against a door, causing her to fall to the ground, during a confrontation Saturday at their home on Oak Park Road, near Windermere.
In a statement, Alan Grayson’s press secretary Lauren Doney wrote that the allegations “are absolutely false, completely unfounded, and clearly designed to vilify and harm Congressman Grayson.”
“Congressman Grayson firmly denies Ms. Grayson’s frivolous accusations,” the statement said.

Amusing: Florida congressman Alan Grayson lost $18 million to fraud scheme...

It couldn't happen to a more deserving individual. 
McLEAN, Va. (AP) — Court papers show a Florida congressman lost $18 million in a scheme that cheated him and more than 100 other people out of money.
Florida Democrat Alan Grayson should have been able to cash in on tens of millions of dollars in returns on his stock portfolio, but prosecutors say the Virginia man behind the scheme sold the stocks out from under Grayson when they should have been kept as loan collateral.
William Dean Chapman, of Sterling, Va., was sentenced to 12 years in prison Friday for cheating 122 investors out of more than $35 million.
Court papers indicate no wrongdoing on Grayson’s part. His name was supposed to be withheld from the documents, but showed up in two motions. The congressman confirmed Monday he lost money in the fraud.

Not a Flashback to 2003: Liberal Congressman Accuses President of Manipulating Intelligence to Exaggerate the Case for War...

My how the tables have turned...
Rep. Alan Grayson, D-Fla., who is aggressively lobbying against a military strike on Syria, says the Obama administration has manipulated intelligence to push its case for U.S. involvement in the country's two-year civil war.
Grayson made the accusation in an interview published Wednesday by The Atlantic and offered more detail in a Thursday discussion with U.S. News. He says members of Congress are being given intelligence briefings without any evidence to support administration claims that Syrian leader Bashar Assad ordered the use of chemical weapons.
Grayson said he cannot discuss the classified briefings, but noted details in the administration's public, non-classified report are being contested.

Demo Rep. Alan Grayson blames defeat on Democrat's "leftist extremism" “strategy of appeasement.”


This should be shocking, but it isn't. Democratic Rep. Alan Grayson blames defeat on Democrat's "leftist extremism" “strategy of appeasement.”

The Politico
reported:

Ousted Florida Rep. Alan Grayson, one of the most outspoken, liberal members of the House, said Thursday that Tuesday’s election was a “national disaster” and a repudiation of the Democrats’ “strategy of appeasement.”

In his first interview since losing his seat, Grayson upended conventional wisdom about his party’s 60-seat loss in the House, saying that if Democrats had been more progressive in their policies, Democratic voters would have gone to the polls.

Alan Grayson claims poll showing him down by 7 was faked

Rep. Alan Grayson claims this Sunshine State News Poll is faked because it found too high a percentage of Republican voters. Due to the enthusiasm gap, polls of likely voters are finding more Republican voters all across the country. In a strange twist, Alan Grayson uses FOX News analysis to boost his claims he is in a competitive race. Last month, Grayson called FOX News "Monty Python's Lying Circus" and a threat to this country.

Liberal Heartache: Loony Lefty Rep. Alan Grayson Down by 16-points in GOP Poll


Demo Representative and left-wing favorite Alan Grayson is looking very much like a one-term wonder.

The Washington Post reported:
Grayson, a well-funded liberal firebrand in a swing Orlando-area district, trails former state Sen. Daniel Webster (R) 46 percent to 30 percent in an OnMessage poll conducted last week. Just 29 percent of voters say the freshman congressman deserves another term.

Hypocrisy Alert: Rep. Alan Grayson Upset Negative Ads are Being Run About Him

Rep. Alan Grayson is upset Republicans are running negative campaign ads calling him a liar and a loud-mouth. Grayson recently ran an ad calling his opponent Taliban Dan.

RCP reported:

Grayson, however, is known for fierce criticism of his opponents. Recently, he has labeled his election opponent as a member of the Taliban in a negative advertisement.

"They destroy us with these negative ads. These blistering, evil negative ads. In front of my -- in front of my children on my TV set, they called me a liar, they've called me a loud-mouth, they said I'm a national embarrassment. And this is their idea of constructive dialogue," Grayson complained.

Is Calling Some Woman a "Whore" a New Requirement for a NOW Endorsement?


The National Organization for Women (NOW) endorsed Jerry Brown one day after he was caught on tape condoning calling Meg Whitman a "whore." Now, NOW has endorsed untreated mental patient Florida Democrat Rep. Alan Grayson. One year ago, Grayson called a female Obama official a "whore." He refused to apologize.

At a quarterly meeting, Florida-based members of the National Organization for Women said Grayson, a Democrat, was a champion for the group’s causes. They also said his Republican opponent, Daniel Webster, would significantly delay or turn back women’s advancement if elected.

“He’s 100 percent on women’s issues,” Donna Slutiak, president of the Florida chapter of the group, said of Grayson. “He’s never let us down yet.”

Interesting: Alan Grayson Subpoenaed to Testify Over Fake Tea Party Candidate


Many people believe the Florida Tea Party is a fake Tea Party organization that was created to split the vote of Republicans and Conservative and had the Fl-8 House race to incumbent Alan Grayson (D). Both the founder of the Florida Tea Party and Rep. Alan Grayson will have to testify under oath before the November 2nd election. Grayson has so far denied the charges he has any involvement with the 3rd party candidate Peg Dunmire.

The Politico reported:
A group of tea party activists have served Grayson, a freshman Democrat known for his outspoken style, with a subpoena to testify on Oct. 21 in Orange County Circuit Court — just weeks before Election Day.

At issue, argue the Tea Party activists, is whether Grayson had any involvement in placing Florida Tea Party candidate Peg Dunmire on the ballot with an eye toward splitting the GOP vote against him in November. Republicans and some tea partiers have argued for months that Dunmire is nothing more than a Grayson stooge whose sole purpose is to position the Orlando congressman for reelection in November.

Great News! Alan Grayson Losing in FL-8 House Race!


Rep. Alan Grayson has questioned the patriotism of his opponent Republican Daniel Webster and compared him to the Taliban. A new poll of likely voters commissioned by Sunshine State News has found Daniel Webster has jumped to a 7-point lead over 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.

Webster, a former state senator, leads the freshman congressman 43-36 in the survey of 559 likely voters conducted Sept. 25-27.

Video: Liberal MSNBC Takes Weasel Alan Grayson to Task for Disgraceful "Taliban Dan" Ad

Contessa Brewer presses Rep. Alan Grayson for his disgraceful and false "Taliban Dan" ad that twisted Daniel Websters words out of context. Grayson tries to lie his way out of it and change the subject.



Contessa Brewer should have called Alan Grayson a lying dog, but she did better than expected for liberal MSNBC.

Shameful: Alan Grayson Clipped Dan Webster Quote for Opposite Meaning

Rep. Alan Grayson has ran the most despicable campaign ads of the year. One impugned Webster's patriotism. That one was determined to be blatantly false by Fact Check. Then, Grayson released an ad painting Webster as a religious zealot and calling him "Taliban Dan." The ad has a clip of Dan Webster saying the part of the biblical verse "Wives Submit to me." A clip of Webster repeating this phrase is repeated four times in a thirty second ad. Grayson not only took this out of context, but used it for the exact opposite meaning of which it was intended. You can see the video below that this quote was snipped from. In it, Webster actually say husbands should not pray for their wives to submit to them.



Alan Grayson is the lowest form of political life in this country. Throw him out of office.

New Alan Grayson Hit Ad: : "Taliban Dan Webster"

This is a new low in campaign ads. Alan Grayson's last ad falsely impugned the patriotism of his opponent Daniel Webster. Now, Grayson has followed that ad up with an even more despicable ad comparing Webster to the Taliban. The citizens of Central Florida’s 8th congressional district now have another reason to vote Alan Grayson out of office.

From the video:
“Taliban Dan Webster... hands off our bodies and our laws”
