there's a reason this douche is no longer in office.

@Cano21 Yes you are correct, that is why he is no longer a Congressman, because he candidly spoke his mind in defence of the working people of this nation against the bankster/insurance/corporitist­s that care only about maintaining their high profit margins at the expense of the health and welfare of the people. Fearlessly speaking his mind and pointing out the obvious abuses of the regressive right's agenda openly threatened those peoples of wealth and power that are destroying our way of life.

@cano21 what exactly do you mean?

[KathyS2008]

Cano21 is a complete idiot. Congressman Grayson was one of the good guys! You are such a fool.

[cano21]

This is why he was voted out. Buh bye congressman! Buh bye!

Rep. Garbrielle Giffords is lying critically wounded in a hospital from a would-be assassin's bullet It would be refreshing if right-wing demagogues, including Sarah Palin, would take a quick refresher course on the historic outcomes of campaigns of vilification and demonization. At the very least they should be sensitive to the historic scapegoating of Jews represented by the Blood Libel.

No I can not agree there should be a 'crackdown'. I do not want Govt or the media to 'crackdown' for political battle metaphors. Let the American people show their dislike at the polls.

However, if 'incitement of violence' is direct, like the video watch?v=APZ3-Lcbwmc then I wonder why there was not action. They were calling for murder of white people yet nothing was done.

@iamavet

fine.. but do you agree that there should be a crackdown on BOTH sides for incitement of violence? if you use bad judgement in words, receive a rebuke. point out to *everyone* that "locked and loaded" "they are coming after your guns" etc are bad elements to bring to a *debate* on govt. no jail time, just rebukes and calling it out.

if, however, someone talks about starting a revolution or "2nd amendment remedies" then you are talking about murder. you are colluding to kill.

Remember when America was told not to jump to conclusion on groups of Muslims after 9/11 or even at airports. Well MSNBC were jumping to conclusion on Right Wing and Palin 1 day after AZ shooting.

The Democrats used Bullseye on people for 2004 election districts they 'targeted behind enemy lines"

Check this video of Left Wing people inciting violence:

MSNBC and Grayson are hypocrites
