Rep. Alan Grayson Addresses Dr. Laura's Comments on Race

[iquit4gud]

@sintaye I can't argue since i haven't done extensive research, but how do you know this? In fact it's highly unlikely that Moses went all the way down there from Egypt. Midyan (which is where he went) is in the region pretty close to Jordan. It's very far from Ethiopia. By the way, there are different Jewish biblical commentators that explain what is meant by the word Cushit,(Dont remember what though)since as I explained he married a woman from Midyan, which is not in the same area as a Cush.

Alan Grayson for President in 2012.

[xadam2dudex]

@brifitz1980 it would be nice to have Alan Grayson and Al Franken, Tim Ryan, Dennis Kucinich or Bernie Sanders running in 2012 for president and VP ..Obama just has not had the guts to do what needs to be done..he has been bought by the corporations..we can only hope he steps aside to let a real progressive get elected and that the republicans put up some idiot like Palin for president.. but knowing the idiots in this country she might win

[dakota51tpa2001]

Alan Grayson has more balls than every other member of Congress combined. We need hundreds more like him.

[iquit4gud]

WTF is Grayson talking about!! Moses married a Midian woman!!! Not Egyptian. Stupid fucker.

[nandansho]

@iquit 4wd Christians say AMEN..an affirmation in concluding Prayer Egyptians..for thousands of years prayed to AMEN the Sky God. The Egyptian Ankh predates the Cross by 2000years. Moses was a DarkMan he was mistaken for an Egyptian..There is a bust of Nefertiti The Wife of Akhenaten(Tutankhamun's Father) the first Monotheist(Believe in One God) Nefertiti was known as the most Beautiful Woman In Egypt..she is Black as Billy Holiday

[iquit4gud]

@nandansho I have also just looked up several English translations of the bible, and most of them say Cushite. not Ethiopian.

[nandansho]

@iquit4gud And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman." Numbers 12:1

[iquit4gud]

@nandansho my bad, I thought he had said Egptian, or maybe I heard him say Ethiopian and got confused all the same. Since he did not marry an Ethiopian. He married a woman from Midyan. the way it describes her in Hebrew is "Cushite". Which in modern language means black. I guess that's why the people who translated the bible into English assumed she was Ethiopian. I don't know. In any case, it would make no sense for a woman from Ethiopia to be in Midyan, which is somewhere around the Saudi.

[wtfoof]

@iquit4gud He didn't say Egyptian he said Ethiopian! "And Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married; for he had married an Ethiopian woman" (Num. 12.1).

@iquit4gudThe King James and other translation have Mose's wife as a Cushite. I sent and website to your channel. I think there is still a lot of disagreement on where she was from.

[nandansho]

@iquit 4wd I'm curious..since you obviously had whats known as an auditory Hallucination..and believe Grayson said "Moses married an Egyptian".Then you proceeded to trash and insult Grayson in your pursuit to portray him as stupid or inferior..based off your hallucination..Do you understand what insanity is and how it's affecting your perception, thought process, politics, etc?

[diah4]

Since when has ignorance become an invitiation? If i see you and your friend calling eachother bitches, im not going to walk over an start calling you bitches too. her argument is amateur and she has exposed her ignorance. Just goes to show you, common sense aint all that common.

[DillonDee1]

good job Alan

[TheImpeacher]

Alan, God knows your the expert on says stupid shit, and your very good at lying. Are you and rick related, both of you are a couple of sandwichs shy of a picnic.

[MsWanderer1]

Alan Grayson is a political cock sucker; he did not listen to Dr. Laura's comments at all!

She demonstrated the caller was simply being too sensitive and needed to lose the chip on her shoulder.

If the caller is so paranoid of her skin color then absolutely she should not have engaged in a salt and pepper marriage but she did NOT marry outside her race; Mormons are the only other race of bipedal sentient beings on planet Earth other than we humans. Was her husband a Mormon? :-)

[christopherrrrrrrrr]

@MsWanderer1 the caller is not paranoid or too sensitive about anything, if she was,she would have lost her mind when dr laura kept repeating the n word, she kept her composure while dr laura lost it

[nandansho]

@MsWanderer1 Hey pick a number between 1-10...Okay heres the question..At what age do Mormons believe girls are ripe for Marriage? XD

[JimboVids]

As if anyone gives a shit what Alan Grayson's opinion is. He's a socialist POS whackjob.

[gunloc26]

@JimboVids I couldn't have said it better myself!

[hudone2009]

Boy this is the pot calling the kettle black.........this f-ing moron has made a living out of putting his mouth in gear before his brain can catch up.

[1911arthur]

Just another rich republican racist. There are alot of them. We need to vote them all out.

I lived and grew up in an 80% hispanic neigboorhood and I wish they would give ALL the illegals in the entire country citizenship and deport all the Republicans to Mexico as I would rather have hispanics as my neighbors than ANY fu*king republican,anyday! At least hispanics for the most part have good family values, honesty, and work very hard! I find Republicans, cop type racists, liars, cheats, greedy.

[gunloc26]

@1911arthur If the Hispanic community is so full of "good family values" then why in the hell would they keep coming in droves to a nation where the majority is non-Hispanic? And let's not forget the condition that Mexico is currently in...looks like someone forgot to share those "good family values" with the entire nation. But maybe beheadings are the norm in the Hispanic community! Wouldn't surprise me one bit if they were!

[kawaiikuku]

Definitely, go Grayson! :)

[lovetostitch]

Good for Grayson. Boo to Dr. Laura.

[tirmen8er]

this isnt what she said i listened to it live. what bs

[Vistamister]

The point of her actions, as is the point of most rethuglicans who pull similar stuts. It is to incite FOR attention. Yeah, a retraction/pseudo apology may or may not follow - but the point is they got their message out to their xenophobic base. It's a wink-wink to them that they're "on their side" so vote rethuglican. I support Grayson, but his comment of "be sensitive to the feelings of others" is not going to win over any tea-baggers or hard-core neo-con conservative BP ass-kissers.

[modernhumor]

@KOAJaps I DON'T GET YOUR POINT.

[KOAJaps]

@modernhumor

She said, "blacks on HBO and comics say "NIGGER" "NIGGER" "NIGGER" "NIGGER" "NIGGER", so what's wrong with the word sayeth the white woman to the black woman. Therefore I wonder if I were to say "KIKE" "KIKE" "KIKE" "KIKE" "KIKE" because Howard Stern and Gilbert Gottfried say it? The answer is no.
