Scientists test the intelligence of rats by putting them in a cage with two levers – one releases a food treat, the other delivers an electric shock. Smart rodents learn quickly which lever to press and which to avoid.
By continuing to run his latest campaign commercial despite the shocking response it has elicited, Democrat Congressman Alan Grayson keeps pulling the wrong lever, in effect proving what his constituents have been saying since he first came to congress – Alan Grayson is a stupid rat.
Factcheck.org and PolitiFact have both labeled his “Taliban Dan” attack ad on Republican opponent Dan Webster as false. In the commercial, Grayson took video of Webster out of context to make it seem like he said the exact opposite of what he actually said.
The ad is such a blatant lie that even lefty outfits CNN and MSNBC have condemned Grayson for it. And the spot has backfired, causing money to pour into the Webster campaign (donations are up over 300% since the ad first aired) while making the discredited Grayson’s own poll numbers drop (Crazy Al said on MSNBC that he’s leading by double digits when he’s actually behind in most polls by 5-6 points.)
So just how loony is Grayson? He’s defending the ad and continues to run it.
Despite being taken entirely out of context, Webster is not getting anywhere near the network coverage or sympathy that Shirley Sherrod got.
Is it a penalty for being white? A penalty for being conservative? A penalty for being both? Or is it just a professional courtesy extended to Grayson by the rats in the media?

Grayson just calls them like he sees them. He will win by a wide margin. Webster will be hoisted by his own petard. This site is a real hoot, what a bunch of neanderthalic cretins.
Kidding? No, Hewmus B smoking crack
"a bunch of neanderthalic cretins."
Ok, if you're going to start calling names and such you'll have to change your name to HUMUS. ;-)

This low life is going down on November 2nd!
I heard something about the "Talaban Dan" ad dropped him 10 points in the polling. Funny.
Alan Grayson is a gigantic buffoon.
I'm ashamed to say I voted for him in '08. I can't wait to get him out of office.
Wow! I never thought anyone would admit to that. That said, I did vote for Jesse Ventura because liked Norm Coleman as St.Paul Mayor & I did'nt want Skip Humphry as Governor.
"causing money to pour into the Webster campaign (donations are up over 300% since the ad first aired"
Aren't Liberals just SOOooo cute when they continue to shoot themselves in the foot? If he keeps it up he won't have a leg to stand on.
Grayson is without a doubt, the biggest idiot in national politics I've ever seen in my life. we have had some bad ones, but he has none of the values or qualities that a decent person should have. Like honesty, integrity, fairness, & having just a bit of decency. Grayson has none of those things, & the voters should throw him out on his ass 11/2.
Isn't the career politician as well. Can anyone fact check these supposed votes that Webster did? It is true, if he did all those votes then why just chose one speech out of context. OMG he is so annoying. Contessa actually did a good job here *I am shocked*. She is asking him why didn't he just put those issues in WITHOUT having to use lies to expose them and he didn't answer.
Grayson reminds me of a junior high bully, sneering, shouting insults, pushing kids around, intimidating anyone who dares to stand up to him. He even looks like a bully.
I had to think about this for a half minute. He does look like a bully in the grade school realm, I suppose. But he really looks like the one that found his ass when it got kicked by a real human type. He does share more of a pussy sneer than the kind of bully that graduates to maintain his bullydom. The face that couldn't quite make it to the military, cuz he's a pussy.
What he looks like to me is one of those union mooks that show up at the hall talking about how< The union don't walk off the job site... they walk on the job site... with base ball bats!" That's an actual quote from the illustrious president of my union by the way.
