Alan Grayson Calls Female Advisor To Bernanke A “Whore”


Stay Classy, Alan Grayson

Like many Americans, you may not have heard of Congressman Alan Grayson before he claimed that Republicans, because they oppose government-rationed health care, want sick people to “die quickly.” Not only did Grayson refuse to apologize for this nonsense, he has been raising money hand over fist from left-wingers who place a high value on making the health care debate nastier and more partisan. Although Grayson, who employs left-wing hateblogger Matt Stoller (some samples of Stoller’s work here), did finally have to apologize to the Anti-Defamation League when he compared the GOP’s position on health care to the Holocaust, as a general rule, he is following the path of a child who gets rewarded for acting up: more bad behavior with the expectation of more cookies.

Which brings us to him calling Linda Robertson, a senior advisor to Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, a “whore”:

Longer video, with the quote starting around 1:50, below the fold:

(I don’t know the genesis of this video, which has some … odd choices for images).

Far be it from me to suggest that Alan Grayson should tone down his act. Hey, he’ll probably get another cookie from his enablers.

I don’t think I even want a clone of Grayson in the Republican party. Besides, we’ve purged out our Grayson’s bit by bit. Some days I wished that some would cane him(beat him with an old person’s cane).

between taking this guy down or ignoring him. Let him beat his chest and scream. All he is is a louder version of the typical left and that can’t really be good for them. A sitting congressman who sounds like this won’t be sitting very much longer.

Let them have Grayson be their spokesperson - it's to our benefit.

No Need to be Torn

This loudmouth is toast and he knows it. He is the 15th most vulnerable Democrat in the House. He got 52.01 % of the votes with a winning margin of 4.03% in a great Democrat year. This is his first term in Congress. There are more registered Republicans than Democrats in his district. He knows he is going down so I guess he figures he might as well go out with a bang instead of a whimper.

Can we declare war

DerKrieger Monday, October 26th at 9:52PM EDT (link)

…on these “left-wingers who place a high value on making the health care debate nastier and more partisan.” now?

We all know Lefties are all bile and no backbone. They’re all a bunch of sissy cowards who would never survive a civil war with us should it ever come to that. Let’s stop playing games with these totalitarians and start playing hardball.

“In questions of power, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution.” - Thomas Jefferson

“I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence (OBAMACARE – mine), the money of their constituents.” – James Madison

 

Without agreeing with Derkreiger's rhetoric, he is right

Achance Monday, October 26th at 10:09PM EDT (link)

about one thing. American Lefites can only grow in places where it is safe for them to grow; they’ve never really had any opposition in most places. A NY, MA, CA, IL, or DC Lefty has never even been in the same room with somebody who disagrees with him/her. Anything resembling effective opposition usually sends the running for the hills. As an example, everyone in politics will tell you how fearsome the National Extortion, excuse me, Education, Association is, but in my world of collective bargaining, they’re the biggest wusses you’ll ever deal with; nobody’s ever played hard with them and they don’t know how to deal with it.

Outside their communist bloc of Blue states, Lefties are a bunch of wusses.

I'm Not Even Convinced Grayson Will Run Again

IJB Monday, October 26th at 10:47PM EDT (link)

If the Dems want even a chance of holding this seat, they’re going to need to make Grayson ’sleep with the fishes’.

I’m guessing he’s getting the ‘hard shove’ right now, and being ordered to soon announce that he won’t be running again in 2010.

(Of course, if the Dems can’t get him to do that, then we’ll *know* Grayson is crazy!!)

Who knows. He's in a red district anyway, IIRC.

ciscoguy Monday, October 26th at 11:01PM EDT (link)

How would you like to be the democrat replacing that guy? I think it will be awhile before that district votes blue again.

 

He's the hero du jour

illinoisconservative Tuesday, October 27th at 6:27AM EDT (link)

of the lefties.. and they are rewarding him with tons of cash.. So, if money means anything in a race, I wouldn’t bet the farm against the guy.

Hopefully, the loudmouth that he is, he will finally say something so egregious that even the lefties will have to disavow him.. like they had to do with Van Jones. But, they’ll still probably blame it all on Glenn Beck!

No Amount of Money Will Save Grayson in a District Like His

IJB Tuesday, October 27th at 11:10AM EDT (link)

If there’s one thing centrists *HATE* is loud-mouthed partisans like Grayson. He’s probably deader now that he would be if he were running in a *redder* district.

That said, I certainly wouldn’t put it past the Dems to use this buffoon to ring tons of cash out of the nutjobs among the nutroots, then later seize his money to use for other races while putting Grayson out to pasture.

But my point remains - if the Dems have any dreams of holding this seat, they need to get Grayson out of this race, and put another much lower-profile Dem in his place.

Otherwise, this will be probably the easiest ‘take back’ for the GOP come 2010…

I think you're off-base, Eric - I agree with ucm4u

texasjay Tuesday, October 27th at 9:30AM EDT (link)

I think you missed the point, Eric. Auditing the Fed is a GREAT idea, and something Grayson is pushing for.

And I think the label he put on Robertson is appropriate - she’s obviously for sale to the highest bidder. Unfortunately, too much of those in the federal bureaucracy could wear the same label, Grayson included [there's a YouTube video on the same page as this one in which a reporter tried to ask Grayson about his earmark which was struck].

To your point, though, NOW could wear the same label. They lack principles, having sold them to the left.

Grayson is abrasive. But are we in the conservative movement about personality, or principle? Personally, I’ll take principle.

So your "principles" dictate that it's just dandy-fine

janis Tuesday, October 27th at 9:41AM EDT (link)

to call a woman a whore? You are a nasty little personality if that’s your yardstick for principles.

What is the relevance of her gender?

texasjay Tuesday, October 27th at 9:53AM EDT (link)

Definition of “whore” from my Oxford Pocket Dictionary refers back to prostitute. “Prostitute: … 2. misuse (one’s talents, skills, etc.) for money”

I’d say that’s a pretty appropriate definition.

And you are ignorant.

Oh, I'm the ignorant one, texasjay?

janis Tuesday, October 27th at 10:09AM EDT (link)

Well. let’s see how fast you get your clock cleaned around here. Then you can tell me who’s the ignorant one. WE DO NOT CALL WOMEN WHORES.

Although you apparently think that’s an option. It’s not.

If that were you mother or your wife or daughter being called that by a man, would you be so sanguine about it?

you’re simply a moby here. You keep saying all this “we” and “principle” stuff since you think that conservatives might respond well to it. Grayson may have some principles but they’re not principles that anyone here in good faith would share.

And whatever one might think of the negotiability of the virtue of any lobbyist, it is unseemly for a member of Congress to refer to ANY woman as a whore. If he were a good Democrat he’d be out trying to organize DC’s hard working, honest sex workers, or at least patronizing them so they can work their way through college more comfortably.

Not likely.

I’m a Dallas Tea-partyer, and a member of several conservative grass roots groups here.

I enjoy reading RedState, and cross-post to FB regularly. It annoys my D friends.

But I also believe in being honest and respectful.

I don’t agree with Grayson on all the issues he pushes. I happen to agree with him on auditing the Fed, and the review of the Feds authority. But I also know several Rs who are more liberal than he is. The party affiliation isn’t what impresses me.

If Robertson had been a man, no one would have blinked on this Blog. The label Grayson applied is appropriate.

Wow

Auditing the Fed sure looks like a good idea, if it can be done without too much interference from the K-Street workers. It is a good idea regardless, but not worth pursuing if Congress or any other group gets too many biasing fingers in the pie.

Why does it seem as if Grayson involvement convinces some that it should automatically be a bad idea.
