How is this for fascism? Radical lefty hero and first class nut bag Alan Grayson (D-Fl) wants Attorney General Eric Holder to investigate a critic who created a parody site of him. That’s right folks, Florida Rep. Alan Grayson wants jail time for someone exercising their First Amendment rights.
From The Orlando Sentinel:
WASHINGTON — Not everyone thinks imitation is the best form of flattery.
In fact, U.S. Rep. 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, in order to try to create the false appearance that she speaks for constituents who don’t support me,” writes Grayson. “[She] has chosen a name for her committee that is utterly tasteless and juvenile.”
Grayson’s office did not respond with comment other than to confirm the letter exists — including its request that Langley be fined and “imprisoned for five years.”
Langley did not immediately respond with comment.
Her webpage, which imitates Grayson’s own congressmanwithguts.com, was launched this fall as a way to raise money against him. He has infuriated Republicans this year, most famously by saying the GOP healthcare plan was for sick patients to “die quickly.”
She had hoped for a major fundraising “money bomb” on Dec. 16, but the website shows that only 92 donors have given $3,725 as of Friday afternoon. Grayson’s complaint to the attorney general was dated on Dec. 15 — one day before the website’s planned fundraising event.
The Grayson letter also took issue with how Langley organized the corresponding fundraising committee. In documents filed with the Federal Election Commission October, she says that the committee’s intent is to support or oppose “more than one Federal candidate.”
“The website, however, clearly shows that the Committee opposes only me,” writes Grayson, an attorney who made a name for himself before joining Congress by going after war profiteers.
To think I once complimented this dude for his stance against the Fed. If ever there was a reason why we need to carefully screen 2010 candidates for their understanding and adherence to the Constitution, this is why. Never in my entire life have I been so anxious to vote out members on Congress. This is truly the worst lot of congress critters we ever had.

I strongly agree,sir.This group in Congress needs to be removed more than any other before it.They have ZERO understanding and respect for the document they have "sworn" to uphold.
Some Dems are such fascists. They can't handle any dissent. I will be glad to vote out Specter in the next election. If you can oppose more than one person shouldn't she be able to oppose one person? And that be Allan Grayson.
What a joke.
The funny thing is that while the DOJ won't investigate ACORN and lets Black Panthers skate on voter intimidation charges, Holder probably will open up a full fledged investigation into this.

In all my 45 years I have never seen anything like this Congress. I simply cannot wait to be rid of it.

You get to give Specter the boot, you lucky gal! Kick him extra hard for me!
I can imagine Nelson's childhood. He learnt very early that all he had to do was scream and cry in the supermarket, restaurant, or store. Mumsie and Daddy-boo would instantly cater to his whims. The screaming and crying would cease instantly, and there'd not be a tear on his face.
You got that right in calling them "Congress Critters", and they certainly are a bunch of rats and roaches! Can't wait until we fumigate at the polls and get rid of the whole lot of them! Bring it on!!
