BREAKING : Grayson Team Manipulated the "Taliban Dan" Advertisement
Advertisements [?]
Very sad face here : x( because I have said time and again how Grayson is one of my Progressive faves .

That "Taliban Dan" video? The one where Grayson berates his political opponent, Republican Daniel Webster, for telling woman that ""Wives submit yourself to your own husband" and then making a rightful comparison from fundamentalism to the Taliban?

Apparently it wasn't true.
Apparently while looking at the entire video what Webster was saying was :
"...I have verses for my wife. Don’t pick the ones that say, ‘She should submit to me.’ That’s in the Bible, but pick the ones that you’re supposed to do. So instead, ‘love your wife, even as Christ loved the Church and gave himself for it’ as opposed to ‘wives submit to your own husbands. ...’

In other words exactly the opposite of what Grayson clipped out of that video.

This is especially disappointing to me and I will be eagerly listening to Grayson's response. This is not how I want my Democrats to run a campaign.

We are supposed to be better.
