Edited on Fri Dec-18-09 08:59 PM by Hassin Bin Sober
.... to be against more than one candidate. THAT is the important piece of his complaint. He's not, as the article says, merely trying to silence a critic for insulting him. Grayson is hitting back at a bogus PAC/Republican Operative - you know, the way we all screamed Kerry should have done. Free speech is great. Even lies are protected when you lie about a politician. But the game changes when you fraudulently fill out FEC forms and raise money. I encourage everyone to READ THE LETTER to Holder. http://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/news_politics/files/20... I will concede he probably made a tactical error by including the complaint about her "juvenile" attacks because the "liberal" media and the right wing Wurlitzer will focus in on that piece (as they already have) and the public will react negatively (as seen on DU)....Next thing you know, Grayson is the next Chavez.

Actually it isn't. It's not the criticism, it's the deception. |
