Grayson continues to pull no punches....
per his latest email:




Apparently, Newt Gingrich loves a good stoning. Because he has joined in the stoning of our campaign. When he saw Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck and Mike Huckabee casting stones, Gingrich just couldn’t resist.

Huckabee called me a “nutcase.” Gingrich reached for a couple of heavier stones to hurl, calling me “a disgrace,” and “fundamentally dishonorable.”

Please contribute to our “Newt Gingrich, Mind Your Own Business” Fund.

Let’s say that you write a bad check to the IRS for almost $10,000. That seems dishonorable.

I didn’t do that. Newt Gingrich did.

Let’s say that you have an affair while your wife is suffering from cancer, and that you visit your wife in the hospital, while she is recovering from surgery, to discuss a divorce. That seems dishonorable.

I didn’t do that. Newt Gingrich did.

Let’s say that the House of Representatives votes 395 to 28 to reprimand you, and fines you $300,000 for an ethics violation. Now, that’s a disgrace – a public disgrace.

That didn’t happen to me. It happened to Newt Gingrich.

Let’s show Newt Gingrich that every time he opens his mouth, that’s another $20, or $40, or $50 for whomever it is that he attacks.

I don’t know about you, but I am sick and tired of listening to the likes of Newt Gingrich, sitting in judgment of me, telling me and telling us how we should live our lives. If we ever carve a Mt. Rushmore of hypocrites, you’ll see Newt Gingrich’s pasty face chiseled in stone there.

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. Everyone else on the right wing, MYOB.

Please contribute to our campaign today, the “Newt Gingrich MYOB Fund”. Because actions speak louder than Newt Gingrich’s sanctimony.

Truth,

Alan Grayson

7. Have you seen his updated ad re: Webster's crazy religious stance?
It's much more muted but still hits on the craziness. Would have been much better to start off with than the Taliban Dan one.

8. In your face, smash-mouth politics.... I LOVE this!!
Keep calling these hypocrites out for who, and what, they are. We need a few hundred more like him in office.

Let's not forget David Vitter, either:

"On June 23rd, ABC News reported that David Vitter protected an aide who threatened, stabbed, attacked, and held a woman hostage for more than two years. In fact, Vitter didn't just keep Brent Furer on staff — he made him his women's outreach coordinator!

Since the news broke, Vitter has refused to answer any questions about why he kept this criminal on his payroll:"

Keep reminding these hypocrites of what they are...

13. Because, sadly, most are either too meek or too DLC who are content with how things are.
*sigh*

17. Ugh...I Like Grayson But I Hate This Campaign Style
This has nothign to do with issue. The Republicans do this shit constantly. They don't campaign against their opponent(s), they campaign against people who have nothing to do with the issue or the race.

Rachel Maddow essentially called out the GOP, especially the tea-party nutters, on this very thing just a few days ago.

21. It *does* have to do with issues. Webster supports an extremist religious point of view
Grayson is merely pointing out that fact.
