Alan Grayson's "Taliban Dan" Ad Backfires

[red states rule]

It is nice to see the voters reaction to Alan Grayson's despicable campaign ad

Here is what Danial Webster said

Here is the ad Grayson ran

<object width="640" height="390"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/dvB-mHXcWzg&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&version=3"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/dvB-mHXcWzg&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="390"></embed></object>


Now we are seeing the results of the ad





But FactCheck.org says the narrative crafted by the Florida Democrat's campaign distorts what Webster was actually saying.

"Grayson has lowered the bar even further. He's using edited video to make his rival appear to be saying the opposite of what he really said," the nonpartisan site, sponsored by the Annenberg Public Policy Center, wrote on its blog Monday.

"Grayson manipulates a video clip to make it appear Webster was commanding wives to submit to their husbands, quoting a passage in the Bible. Four times, the ad shows Webster saying wives should submit to their husbands," the site points out. "In fact, Webster was cautioning husbands to avoid taking that passage as their own. The unedited quote is: 'Don't pick the ones [Bible verses] that say, 'She should submit to me.'"

Grayson was also reprimanded by the Orlando Sentinel, which posted a story Monday headlined "Grayson's 'Taliban Dan' Ad Takes Webster's Words Out of Context, Twists Meaning."

"By twisting Webster's words, Grayson risks eroding some of the support he may have won from independent voters," the paper concluded.

Alan "Die Quickly" Grayson strikes again.....

[red states rule]

DNCTV host Sgt Schultz loves the ad. He bellows how this is the way all Dems need to campaign





Last week, on the Thursday, September 23, The Ed Show, MSNBC host Ed Schultz touted inflammatory Democratic Congressman Alan Grayson as an example that other Democrats should be following, and, apparently oblivious to the history of partisan polls being notoriously inaccurate, treated with credibility a poll conducted for Grayson’s campaign which showed the Democratic incumbent 13 points ahead of his Republican challenger, Daniel Webster, as evidence that other Democrats should learn from the Florida Congressman. Notably, a Sunshine State/VSS poll released this week finds Grayson trailing Republican Webster by seven points, 43 to 36 percent.

On his radio show Monday, Schultz even praised Grayson's controversial ad that compares Webster's religious views to the Taliban, declaring, "I love it," and, during a panel discussion on Monday's The Ed Show on MSNBC, Schultz played a clip of the ad without noting its blatantly dishonest distortion of the Republican’s words. The MSNBC host, who introduced the ad by calling it a "blockbuster," ended up claiming that Grayson’s activities were no worse than those of Republicans as he debated conservative talk radio host Michael Medved.

It is called desperation Noir. Grayson can only hope for a heavy turnout of dead voters, ACRON registrations and votes come in, and the usual 1/3 of Dem who vote the party line regardless how bia scumbag Grayson really is

Dems are going to get what they deserve on Tuesday. Barney Frnk had to loan his campaign $200,000

Perhaps starting in January we will no longer have to see his constant pissed off expression, and hear his lound rants on TV

Does this mean we're about to hear more of his thoughtful analysis?

Because I can't wait.

[red states rule]

Watching the ticker on Fox News and with 14% in Grayson is down 62% to 30%

It is looking good folks in Fla nd in many other races

[Little-Acorn]

With 78% of the vote counted, Grayson is losing 39% to 56%.
He's history. :clap:
