Grayson Ad: Dirty Politics Epitomized

Daniel Webster, Alan Grayson's opponent for congress, spoke about Biblical versus in the context of marriage.  Here is what he said.



Here is how Alan Grayson used it in his campaign ad.



To me, this is beyond despicable.  Regarding the verse that says "wives submit to your husbands," Webster basically says that verse is between your wife and God.  Don't bring that up.  Instead, focus on the verse that says "husbands, love your wife as Jesus loves the church."  That's the verse for you to pay attention to.

Grayson doesn't just twist the words.  He flat out edits the speech to mean exactly the opposite of what the guy is saying..... and then takes it even further to compare Webster to the Taliban!

I searched the internet all morning, and I was unable to find any indication that Webster believes women shouldn't be allowed out of the house without their husbands permission.  I couldn't find where Webster believes that adulteress women and rape victims should be stoned to death.


I know what you're thinking.  Grayson must have lowered his head in shame when confronted with the out and out lie of an ad he put out.

You'd be wrong.  This man, like most politicians, knows no shame.



My favorite part is at 2:24 where Grayson says "We could argue endlessly about whether it's in context, out of context, whatever...."  And a child with cookie all over his his face could argue endlessly with his mother about whether or not he'd been eating cookies. 

Five Thoughts I Shouldn't Have Had To Share

1.   You’ve discovered that your political opponent, at some point in their life, has done something that they have publicly said is wrong.  As you scream “hypocrite” and proudly wallow in your superiority, I would like to congratulate you.  Through your superior intellect and moral fortitude, you have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that this political opponent is ……exactly like every other human that has ever lived, you included.   Oh, by the way, showing that someone is a “hypocrite” doesn’t necessarily make them wrong about the original point they were making.
2.  The bank didn’t fuck you over on your house, you fucked them.  You were the one who lied about how much your house was worth when you refinanced.  You borrowed as much as your lying appraisal would allow.  You took vacations, bought cars, paid off credit cards etc.  Then, the housing market crashed.  You walked away.  Did you give back to the bank the money you lied to them to get?  Of course not.  The bank got left holding that bag.  Now, this doesn’t make you a bad person….you probably didn’t mean for this to happen.  But shut the fuck up about how the bank fucked you!
3. Not everyone who disagrees with you is a blithering idiot, un-American pinko, racist homophobe or brainwashed troll incapable of thinking for his/herself.  Sure, some are (and they are usually the loudest,) but most aren’t.  Newsflash:  it is possible for two reasonable and intelligent people of sound mind to come to different conclusions when presented with the same set of facts.
4.  There is only one way in the world to get a better credit score:  borrow money from a reputable lender and then pay it back.  Then continue to do that every month.  There, I just saved you all the money the guy with the radio ad was going to bilk from you.
5. The economy is tough, we all get it….but maybe the reason you can’t get a job is because you walk around in a wife beater with your pants on the ground and you speak so poorly that no responsible business owner would ever let you near his/her customers.  And by the way, meth rots your teeth….find a different drug.
