Alan Grayson campaign and Karl Rove PAC team up on bogus Patrick Murphy story

Liberal U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson, D-Orlando, and the American Crossroads super PAC, which was co-founded by former George W. Bush operative Karl Rove, are both taking aim at the Senate aspirations of U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy, D-Jupiter.

Murphy, with strong Democratic Party establishment support, is running against Grayson in Florida’s 2016 Democratic Senate primary. Many Republicans see Murphy as a tougher general election opponent, so it’s not surprising that American Crossroads and the conservative Club For Growth have taken shots at him.

Grayson’s campaign and American Crossroads both promoted a liberal blogger’s claim that Murphy was repeatedly snubbed by Hillary Clinton when she visited South Florida for three fundraisers and a rally on Friday.

But the snub story is full of holes — including, most conspicuously, the fact that Clinton told donors at one fundraiser that she’s “so proud” of Murphy.

I suspected there was something fishy about that blog post, and I was right.
Congrats. DownWithTyranny has now lost all credibility in my eyes. Next time, think twice before believing anything they say.
And now Grayson is calling out Murphy for proving he was lying? Well then.
