They understand that if Barack Obama were to cure world hunger tomorrow, they would blame him for overpopulation.

They understand that if Barack Obama were to somehow bring about world peace, they would blame him for destroying the defense industry.

Also Back in October, Grayson told Congress that the Republicans health care plan is to:

A) not get sick, b) if you do get sick, c) die quickly.

Blogger and talking head Matt Taibi, in a humorous story, writes that Grayson once went “Werewolf” on him.

And back in September, Grayson successfully turned a legislative bill that was essentially (and unconstitutionally) intended for one one specific target, onto a much bigger, more successful range of targets –Defense Contractors who have committed any type of government fraud. (Little more seemed to be heard about the bill after that.)

Thus when a particularly well known person said the following of Grayson in Florida on Friday:

What can you say about Alan Grayson? Piper is with me tonight, so I won’t say anything about Alan Grayson that can’t be said around children.

Grayson, in turn, had a response. According to his campaign:

I look forward to an honest debate with [This person] on the issues, in the unlikely event that she ever learns anything about them.

So who is Grayson talking about? This person.

The person who said Rahm Emanuel should be fired for insensitively using the term “retarded” in a closed door policy session to describe a political strategy, but who then said it was okay when Rush Limbaugh (in defending Emanuel, and mocking Liberals) used it pejoratively as a noun, twice, publicly, to millions of listeners.

The person who once said she had foreign policy expertise because “Russia was close to Alaska” and she could see it from land in Alaska.

(Also See minute 1:14 here for one of the more incredible policy expertise claims ever made, and putting to rest fanciful delusions that Palin was “kidding” around.)

Grayson’s campaign email also noted how; “Palin knows all about politics in Central Florida, since from her porch she can see Winter Park” (in his Central Florida district),  also playing upon Tina Fey playing Sarah Palin.

Palin also infamously used written cliff notes on her hand last month. (What the notes on her “Alaskan Telemprompter” actually said.) Grayson also complimented Palin for having a large enough hand to fit Grayson’s full name on it.

***The End***

(Note, some may wonder why the “Big Brother” category tag was used for this post: Palin, despite constant chatter about freedom, is a chilling example of the type of rhetoric over reality — prompted by underlying and profound ignorances –that will take the U.S. — along with this guy, who of course constantly rails against Fascism while exhibiting nearly every one of its fundamental underlying traits — closer and closer to imperial, controlling government, where everyone is expected to be the same, and government acts “in our best interests” in secrecy. The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart speaks of Abraham Lincoln getting “freedom boners” when the two of them finally, under the glare of the Statue of Liberty no less, get to meet.)

Far more of the African American community is being devastated by the policies of today than were being devastated by the policies of slavery.

As the original material source suggests (and reasonably, if one listens to the actual audio of the statement), it seems that Representative Trent Franks did not really mean the comment as racist, “paternalistic” or as an insult. But the statement is rather incredible, regardless.

Here’s guessing that “far more” if not all of the people who are “African American” prefer the “policies to today” to slavery, and that a lot of people, perhaps rightly so, would take great offense at Frank’s statement.
