What is wrong with the people at Fox? Never mind, I think we all know the answer.

OMG, they're attempting to throw Grayson under the bus for making a comparison of the Tea Party and the KKK. As I watched the video, it made me sick on how many times they were making assumptions over and over and just feeding each other on the fear and hate. They got all wound up to the point of calling him mentally deranged.

GOP - Welcome Alan Grayson to your world. He is a straight shooter, and sugar coats nothing. How else was he to make the comparison? It is what it is. You can't call the KKK something else (to sugar coat it) and mean the KKK, can you? Alan is not your typical politician. He represents the truth and the middle class. He calls these scumbags out for who they really are, based on facts, not bullshit. I did not take anything he said in that interview as racist, but the damn GOP fear mongerers just love this stuff. How sad and pathetic. It must be a slow day in the newsroom .

You stick to your guns ALAN.

We love you.

They are brainwashing people with this crap. How can anyone watching not be aware of their manipulative way of delivering the news?

The ones still play-acting in 19th Century? Ask them where their Confederate Flags come from...and the resounding silence that ignores them.

7. Here are some quotes from FoxNews Contributer Allen West.

“If Joseph Goebbels was around, he’d be very proud of the Democrat party, because they have an incredible propaganda machine.”
On liberals:
“Take your message of equality of achievement. … You can take it to Europe, you can take it to the bottom of the sea, you can take it to the North Pole, but get the hell out of the United States of America.”
“I must confess, when I see anyone with an Obama 2012 bumper sticker, I recognize them as a threat to the gene pool.”
“The Democratic appetite for ever-increasing redistributionary handouts is in fact the most insidious form of slavery remaining in the world today."

FoxNews cuts this man a check each week and they supported him as a politician as well.

Duh Five calling on Pres. O and Rev. Sharpton, of all people, to condemn Grayson? Are those 2 supposed to be emperors of Black people or something, according to the Right? And frankly if I were either of them, I wouldn't condemn Grayson at all. Rev. Al especially has dove deep into the racial dog whistles from the Tea Party for the past several years on his show. Everyone who isn't a wingnut should know by now that bigotry is the foundation of the Tea Party movement because if they truly were concerned with the deficit, then where were they from 2000-2008?
