Alan Grayson’s Town Hall
“The plans were on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet, stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the leopard’” - hitchhiker’s guide
So last night Alan Grayson held a town hall that he hoped no one would find out about, in a small union hall to intimidate the crowds, filled with 100 of his supporters so that the deck was stacked in his favor. only 30 people that waited in line for about 3 hours got in.
us with Alan Grayson, I was going to put ‘rabbit ears’ on him but I figured the guy taking the photo wouldn’t have taken it!
the tiny venue he chose, only 30 were let in from the outside, the rest are union thugs and supporters that were let in through the side door.
the crowd outside the venue about an hour before they started letting people in.
I did a rough count and there was almost 200 people (both pro and against), the door was at the back of the building and the line stretched all the way to the front and around the corner and down the street. not sure what the final count would be as we were one of the lucky few to get in and we got there at 5pm (the event was supposed to start @ 7:45 but started after 8).
While in line, the gentleman in front of us yelled an inappropriate racial comment when after waiting in line for hours they let in several supporters ahead of us. everyone around him told him in no uncertain terms that it was not appropriate. unfortunately if someone got that on video, that will be the clip they feature to show the ‘angry racist crowd’.

[...] My husband now has his review posted. Sadly, he couldn’t get the pictures to d/l at his office, so no new pictures at this [...]

he’s very tall, isn’t he? You’re 5’11″ and dwarfed.
I was so irritated with the racist guy in front of us. Don’t give them fuel!

OK…so now everybody in America knows what some of us have known for quite a whiile….that Grayson is a faggoty dick k*** shyster who hides behind his own children because he is afraid of the people he works for….so what else is new?

Considering that Grayson is a progressive Democrat in a Republican-leaning district who won in 2008 because of Bush and the incumbent breaking his term limit vow, it is really hard to see this clown winning re-election anyway.
Hopefully there’s some Republican interest in finding a strong challenger because this guy looks like toast.

Robbins: I generally let comments stand as written, however racist terms are the exception and I have edited your comment.

I take your point…but I used the word ‘kike’ to describe Grayson to differentiate between him and a ‘mensch’ like Joe Liberman….a good Jew who keeps kosher and won’t hesitate to do a mitzvah for people whenever possible.

Dude, Robbins, it doesn’t matter what you were trying to say. That’s just a word where you don’t go. And his politics have nothing to do with who slaughters his chickens and cows.
Anyway the opposite of a “mensch” is a “putz.”

Your opinion is duly noted….I stand by the pejorative in the case of Grayson….and I go where I damn well please.

Great job Sherlock and Mrs. Sherlock on reporting both Grayson and the Recess TParty. The Orlando TParty crowd was impressive especialy since we all know that true grassroots movements donot grow when fertilized by stolen power & tyrants. You deserve the Instalanche and more for your good work. I have a few ties to Central FL and was visiting a couple of weeks ago and had looked for any local TParties to catch but I had not found your sites then and the big newz was the Ocala Motgage Co. closing….next time I will tune into you guys before visiting! On to 9/12!
