Grayson threatens to imprison critic

File this story under the pot calling the kettle black.

Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.), prone for throwing his own political bombs at Republicans, has threatened a local critic with five years in jail for creating the website “mycongressmanisnuts.com,”

The Orlando Sentinel reports that Grayson wrote a letter this week to Attorney General Eric Holder demanding that the federal government imprison Republican activist Angie Langley for five years because of her website criticizing him.

The website, designed to raise money against Grayson, catalogues videos and news clippings that portray the provocative congressman in an unfavorable light. It courts donors to donate money to help elect his Republican challenger next year – collecting $3,725 to date.

Grayson accuses the activist of misrepresenting the fact that she’s a constituent of his (she lives outside his district).

“Ms. Langley has deliberately masqueraded as a constituent of mine, in order to create the false appearance that she speaks for constituents who don’t support me,” Grayson wrote in the letter.

(You can read Grayson's complete letter to Holder here.)

It’s awfully ironic that Grayson is demanding to silence one of his critics, given his history of red-meat rhetoric against a host of powerful Republicans. Earlier this month, he told MSNBC’s Chris Matthews he wished Dick Cheney would “STFU.”

Earlier in the year, Grayson referred to conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh as a “has-been hypocrite loser” who “was more lucid when he was a drug addict.”

Sounds like Ms. Langley's point has been proved, her position proven beyond a shadow of a doubt.

In the days when we have Caucuses among Congressmen that purport to represent certain demographics that have nothing to do with district, and being lobbied by parties with no exceptional connection to their district, I have no pity for Congressmen having to defend their reputations and positions to people not of their district.

Off topic, or maybe it is on the topic. Lacking a snarky title, which I'd recommend avoiding those anyway, how about an informative title? You know so people know why they're clicking this ****. The More You Know

If it were up to me, the plural of "caucus" would be "cauci"

I think they've gone way beyond "purporting".
