Grayson: Rep. Klein's opponent has threatened physical violence against him
Received via e-mail this nauseating information from DUer Rep. Alan Grayson:



Congressman Ron Klein and I have a lot in common. We both represent districts in Florida. We both represent gerrymandered “swing” districts. We both beat incumbent Republicans.

But only one of us has an opponent who says that we will be shot if we dare to leave our own home.

Not long ago, Ron Klein’s Republican opponent told his hatred-filled followers to make sure that Ron was “scared to come out of his house.” He told them to “get your musket, fix your bayonet.”

This “hate speech” is intolerable! Help Ron Klein fight back.

Klein’s opponent used to be in the U.S. Army. Until Klein’s opponent was assigned to interrogate a civilian Iraqi police officer who was in U.S. custody. And he fired his pistol right past that Iraqi police officer’s head. That got Klein’s opponent court-martialed.

Klein’s opponent recently has called Klein “a cretin.” He said that Klein’s supporters would soon be “fleeing in utter desperation.” And Klein’s opponent said that he is “dangerous to President Barack Hussein Obama.”

Maybe I’m wrong, but I thought it was a felony to threaten the President.

I know Ron Klein. He works hard. He shows up to hearings prepared. He doesn’t miss votes. And he has a conscience.

I don’t think that Ron Klein should be afraid to leave his home.

So let’s try to help him. We have set up a webpage where you can contribute to Ron Klein’s campaign (and ours, too, if you wish).

You may or may not know Ron Klein. You may or may not like Ron Klein. But for sure, Ron Klein has to win this race. So that we can all be safe, and free from fear, both in and out of our homes.

Truth,

Alan Grayson
