Contessa is asking Grayson about his "questionable" sound clips on his
anti-Webster ad.

Grayson is kinda tap dancing saying that Webster only released 4 minutes of a 20 minutes speech, and then goes on to list stuff Webster HAS backed that demeans women.

He's wiggling, I think she's doing a good job. And from what he listed about Webster, there was plenty of ammo there rather than cutting and pasting to sensationalize a spot.

Knock it off, Grayson!

1. Just got in and only caught the tail end of that; sounded
contentious.

3. Grayson made excellent points. The GOP is never called on their ads. He stood his ground and got
his message across very clearly. We need many many more dems like Grayson.

8. Agree - I wish ALL Dems were like Grayson and he DID make good points, but he
did NOT address the questions Contessa was asking.

We do call them on their ads, just nobody in the press seems to notice. :grr:

I'm just miffed because he could have done something else that Webster couldn't have come back and shown to be an obvious cut and paste.

10. Unfortunately the media wouldn't have paid any attention if he didn't push the limit. Because
of his claims he's now able to bring up the points the media is ignoring, those he rightfully called Contessa out for skipping over in her "analysis." I get your point of Grayson just calling the facts out, but we're playing against a stacked deck with the media and Grayson knows this.

13. I know - the only press we get is "bad" press, and I love how Grayson
puts it all out there, but my feeling that this one could so easily be proven to have been taken out of context. Again, I have to say there are SO many things he could have used that would have been just as sensational but wouldn't have opened himself up to the accusation of playing dirty (like them). I just don't want it to do any damage (regardless of why others think I may have posted it).

But I'm apparently standing alone on this, so hopefully I'm the only one who feels this way. Just my opinion, natch.

7. he doesn't care
he knows the media won't approve of his methods. That's not what he's going for. He wants to win his election, and I think he also wants to really piss off the republicans. I think he genuinely doesn't like them.

11. He accused Contessa of doing selected editing of his commercial.

Which was funny because that's what she was accusing Grayson of doing.
