Return of Alan Grayson: Ex-Congressman Blames Palin for AZ Shooting in Email to Supporters

If you thought his defeat in the 2010 midterm elections was the end of Alan Grayson’s time in the limelight, think again. Return of Alan Grayson: Ex Congressman Blames Palin for AZ Shooting in Email to Supporters

The former Florida Democrat Progressive was back in the news Wednesday after a solicitation email to supporters placed blame for the recent shooting tragedy in Arizona squarely on former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.

“When I opened my web browser yesterday, at yahoo.com, there was Sarah Palin, smiling at me,” Grayson wrote. “‘Oh God,’ I said to myself, ‘what has she done now. (sic)”

Reacting to Palin’s defense of her “blood libel” video response to the Arizona massacre, Grayson wrote: “That’s interesting, I thought. What else might Palin be defending? Cannibalism, maybe?”

Grayson then ran down a complete list of all the “threats” he’s received in the past.

“Even before I heard earlier Palin‘s whining about ’misguided finger-pointing‘ and ’irresponsible statements from people who are apportioning blame,’ I thought about this: Palin came to my district, and told her people to ‘take me out.’ Palin told people again and again, ‘don’t retreat, reload,’” he wrote.

Grayson also claimed one of his five-year old twins “received a telephone death threat intended for me” the day before last year’s health care vote.

“A right-wing commentator offered anyone $100 to punch me in the nose. We received so many threats of violence from tea baggers that we started a file,” he continued. “And the day before Gabby was shot, I received a postcard saying ‘you better get some personal protection. You could very well be getting your ass kicked soon.’”

A “stream of violence and threats of violence by the right wing against Democrats” he’s observed on MSNBC was something that Rep. Giffords warned about and Palin “instigated,” Grayson concluded.  “I think that Gabby said it best: ‘We can’t stand for this.’ We have to stand against it.’”

      Almost before the bullets had stopped flying in the assassination attempt of Congresswoman Giffords, the mainstream media invoked the preponderance of propaganda proclaiming that this was just another violence incident caused by “inflammatory right-wing rhetoric.” An investigation of the perpetrator soon proved that he was just another proponent of tyranny with little or no connection to true patriots.

      “Inflammatory right-wing” rhetoric, of course, is any disagreement with President Obama’s actions or proposals. The purpose of this propaganda is to discredit and silence the opposition to tyranny (Obama’s programs). Even though the thug has been proven to be just another disciple of tyranny, the attacks on patriots continues.

      One would expect that after so many failed attempts to tie the rhetoric of freedom to the cause of violence, the mainstream media’s credibility would be severely damaged. Sadly, this is not the case. The lies just continue with the expectation that the quantity of lies will trump the truth. So don’t expect the mainstream media to apologize or even admit that they were wrong.

      The tyrants, with virtual control of the mainstream media, are following Joseph Goebbels’ instructions for the dissemination of propaganda. The volume and quantity of lies will be used to bury the truth with the expectation of discrediting and silencing those who advocate freedom.

      The tyrant’s premises are false. So the only arguments that the tyrant can use are fear mongering, emotion, sarcasm, ridicule, attacking the messenger and misrepresentation of the facts (lying). Those who expect to reach huge profits from the misery caused by tyranny are experts at these tactics. These tactics are very effective when the tyrant controls most of the media. Do not be duped by repetition. The 10,000th repetition of the lie is no more valid than the initial statement.

      The only relevant issue is freedom or tyranny! http://commonsense21c.com/

The hatefulness, and outright lying, coming from Grayson is not what this country needs. It helps no one, and apparently not even him. The voters told him that loudly and clearly that on November 2. Go back to your cave, Grayson!

      On another note, if progressivism means “fundamentally transforming” our country, then no, we don’t need that either. This is the best country the world has ever known. People coming here from all over the world for the American dream is all the evidence of that one needs.

      No, but the opposite of PROgress is CONgress….

      The term ‘progressive’ is ironic and would be hilarious if it weren’t so damaging. Everywhere it’s been pushed as a governing philosophy, it has led to the loss of liberty, collectivism, elitism, and eventually tyranny or a hyper-controlling central government. If that‘s ’progress’, I’ll take regress, returning to the rights of the individual being supreme and the power of the federal government being last in the governing heirarchy, as it once was, rather than first.

      This guy reminds me of the school yard bully who didn’t have a brain in his head but his mouth was always running.

      Hate to say it but Alan is SOOO ugly the tide won’t even take him out. He has to tie a pork chop around his neck to get his dog to pay attention to him.

      It is a shame that some have become blamers and not advicators of personal responsibility. When you can not win the arguement with the truth and common sense well lets just call people names. Just saying….sounds nuts to me!
