Alan Grayson: Fox News is stalking me
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1009/28949.html


By JOSH KRAUSHAAR | 10/30/09 5:59 PM EDT

Rep. Alan Grayson, the Florida Democratic congressman who made headlines recently with his provocative partisan comments, told supporters Friday he’s being stalked by FOX News.

In a fundraising email sent out by his campaign, Grayson said FOX News is ambushing him because he’s a “strong voice for justice” but that he won’t be taken down by the cable news network’s “weapons of mass distraction.”

The confrontation that sparked the note involved FOX News correspondent Griff Jenkins, who approached the freshman congressman outside his Capitol Hill office Wednesday and repeatedly asked Grayson what he meant when he called Federal Reserve adviser Linda Robertson a “K Street whore” and whether he would apologize to Vice President Cheney for saying “blood drips from his teeth when he speaks.”

1. fox noise and rupert murdock
neither deserves the respect I'd be giving them by using capital letters. Murdock is for all intent and purposes a traitor if a non American can be called a traitor that is.

2. I hope he doesn't apologize for the Cheney remark
I mean, did Cheney apologize to Senator Pat Leahy for telling him to go fuck himself?

6. I Disagree With Congressman Grayson
"The Republican Party is a now a wholly owned subsidiary of Fox News"

Isn't it the other way around?

Anyway, why not go on the O'Reilly factor. I like what Stephanie Miller suggested - that if Billo the Clown (oops, that's Olberman) brings up Congressman Grayson's disrespect for women, Grayson can point out that O'Reilly's record isn't exactly pristine in that area.

7. Their hypocrisy amazes me. It just oozes out of their pores.



Faux has always been the propaganda arm of the RNC and they will always try any sleazy tactics that might stand a chance of bringing them results. If anyone else uses the same tactics Faux is the first one to point fingers and yell "SHAME".

8. Rep Grayson: Never apologize, never back down, never knuckle under.
Just keep punching until you're picking their teeth out of your knuckles!
