Turnabout is fair play, especially in politics. So Townhall.com put together this brilliant parody of Grayson’s commercial.
Alan Grayson, the leading lunatic in Congress, made a campaign commercial in which he took his opponent Dan Webster’s words completely out of context. It was such a blatant lie that even MSNBC objected.
Grayson’s response? Refuse to back down. Continue running the commercial even though the opponent’s clear meaning was the exact opposite of what the commercial said it was.
But turnabout is fair play, especially in politics. So Townhall.com put together this brilliant parody of Grayson’s commercial.
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.
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.

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?
