Grayson: I won't fill the sky with black helicopters

Alan Grayson's back -- and in fine form.

The former Florida Democratic congressman, who is seeking a return to the House from a new Orlando-area seat, responded Thursday to a GOP foe's web video from earlier this week that railed against Grayson “and his progressive cronies.” The low production value video suggested that a vote for Grayson was a vote for a future where lemonade stands are forced to go out of business, the price of gas is near $10 a gallon and guns and ammo are outlawed.

Rarely outdone when it comes to over-the-top political theater, Grayson returned fire in an email to his supporters.

I would like to assure my opponent, and all other right-wing paranoid crackpots, that I will neither eliminate children's lemonade stands, nor triple the price of gasoline, nor outlaw guns and ammunition. If I have a secret plan to do any of those things, it's so secret that even I don't know about it. It's like I'm the Manchurian Candidate, or something.

Alan, I simply ask how you can relate to the 99%ers. ?

That had to be the overall worst political ad I've ever seen.

I was expecting the kid to pull out a fluoride laden ice cream cone but I guess they ran out of time.
