Rep. Alan Grayson - ''Fox News Is The Enemy Of America''

Grayson: Fox News Is "The Enemy Of America"

Huffington Post | Updated: 10-22-09 01:25 AM



Outspoken Democratic Rep. Alan Grayson slammed both Fox News and the GOP while appearing on MSNBC Wednesday, saying that "Fox News and their Republican collaborators are the enemy of America."

When it comes to health care, education, even peace, Grayson insisted that the GOP and Fox News are on the wrong side of the issues. They are the enemies of "anything good for this country," he said.

Grayson also seemed to agree with the White House's recent effort to publicly confront the news network. "What you do with a bully is you confront the bully and the bully backs down," Grayson said. 99 percent of all Americans, he added, "have the good sense to ignore them."

- I don't know how much more of the truth that my body and mind can take.

It's been so long.....

"The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie, deliberate, contrived and dishonest, but the myth, persistent,
persuasive, and unrealistic. Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought." ~ John F. Kennedy

1. Grayson's secret weapon is that he doesn't care if he's re-elected.

That almost guarantees he'll be re-elected.

[bluestateguy]

2. He's got a shitload of money

Not just from donors, but in his own pocket too.

[graywarrior]

3. Yeah, he figures he'll be ok no matter what.

[2Design]

7. I'll vote for him again - finally got someone I like n/t

[DeSwiss]

8. Yep!

Which is the way it should be.

- When one has principles....

[graywarrior]

11. Exactly. The rest of them should take note.

[katty]

28. exactly!

[Hannah Bell]

35. most incumbents are.

[NJmaverick]

4. I am definately going to have to donate to his campaign

if there were ever a Democrat with guts... It's him:applause:

[FormerDittoHead]

5. What is there not to love about this guy? Is this the 'giddy' that Palin followers get? n/t

My prayer today: Dear God, I'll take a couple hundred more like this one please!

[DeSwiss]

10. Cloning???

[BOSSHOG]

6. Grayson YOUDAMAN!

Now beck will do the manly thing and urge his lemmings to murder Grayson while he hides behind a microphone, because that's what conservative values are all about.

[TicketyBoo]

9. God,

we need more like him!

Wealthy men who are smart enough to know that the middle class is the heart and soul of this country. Eliminate the middle class, and America is a goner.

[lunatica]

12. He is brilliant

He gets it. State facts in simple sound bites and it works. And above all put the enemy on the defensive.

Jeez, they've been doing it for decades and it's worked for them. Just learn how to do it and make sure you make it factual. Simple and direct and above all, factual.

[indepat]

13. Thank you Congressman for pointedly conveying what I have long proffered on this board: if the GOP

not evolved into the domestic enemy, the enemy within as warned about by the founders of this Republic, pray tell, what/who does/would? The proof holistically is in the pudding they have cooked for us and their destructive handiwork is every where. :P

[Triana]

14. THIS is how a REAL REPRESENTATIVE ought to operate. NOT ouf of concern for...

...whether (s)he will be re-elected or not, or out of concern for whether money will continue to pour into their coffers from corporate interests -- but rather out of concern for the THOUSANDS of ordinary people who RELY on him/her to be THEIR VOICE IN GOVERNMENT.

THAT is what PUBLIC SERVICE means. Grayson GETS IT.

[wroberts189]

15. I hope this hits top of the greatest. KNR nt

[Octafish]

16. The guy should be Speaker of the House.

Likely that a lot of good would get done -- from progressive legislation to improved oversight to criminal investigation.

That would be nice, for a change.

[SammyWinstonJack]

17. +1

:thumbsup:

[FiveGoodMen]

31. Enthusiastically seconded!

:fistbump:

[msongs]

18. it is so sad that in a party that controls congress there is only ONE man who talks like Grayson nt

[rucky]

19. If he just keeps throwing punches, he'll stay ahead of 'em!

[leanderj]

20. It is the truth!

[samsingh]

21. this great man is telling it like it is - only the truth

good for him!

[get the red out]

22. I love this man

He's the best, we have needed a guy like this for along time. And he just tells the truth, without fear, that's all, yet it seems so remarkable.

[Bobbie Jo]

23. Love him!

K&R :kick:

[Vidar]

24. We need a few more scrappers like Grayson.

[horseshoecrab]

25. Grayson rocks!

Every time he opens his mouth I'm amazed that he's putting himself out there to say the things that we have all been thinking. I think he's wonderful.

[Plucketeer]

26. His unabashed candor is so GOD-DAMNED REFRESHING!

I wanna watch how the knotheads at FOX spin this one up! OH GLENNNNNNNNNNNNN....... SEANNNNNNNN..... O'DUNCELYYYYYYYYYYY....... time to froth at the mouth! :rofl:

[katty]

27. Holy Terror, Batman! Grayson finally unveiled the REAL enemies

of The People!! Grayson, our hero, lives to fight another day!

[lpbk2713]

29. You go AG! Fuggen A right.

But you're awfully damn generous in calling them Fox "NEWS"

Call them what they are ... the propaganda outlet for the RNC.

[spanone]

30. and i agree with him 100%

[Danascot]

32. If you like Grayson here's what you do:

write your congress critter and tell him/her how great you think Grayson is and how much you'd like to see your guy/gal take a page from his playbook.

[Swamp Rat]

33. YOU LIE!!!

[Union Yes]

34. Faux- a network that repeatedly calls for revolution to overthrow and end democracy.

And replace democracy with a fascist, Authoritarian, pro-serfdom, dictatorship.


Yup they're rabidly anti-American.

Big KNR for Al Grayson. A real patriot!

Thanks for posting, Deswiss.

:patriot: :hi:

[Douglas Carpenter]

36. kick and recommended!!

[Wednesdays]

37. "Republican collaborators"?

I think even that is an understatement.

[sattahipdeep]

38. A perversion of the intelligence process

Indeed, to this day, those involved in the decision to give the Afghan rebels access to a fortune in covert funding and top-level combat weaponry continue to defend that move in the context of the Cold War. Sen. Orrin Hatch, a senior Republican on the Senate Intelligence Committee making those decisions, told my colleague Robert Windrem that he would make the same call again today even knowing what bin Laden would do subsequently. “It was worth it,” he said.

39. Yes It Is! Faux News is Also the Enemy of Truth.

Man, that Hannity is one vicious troll! He is just plain mean. His whole tone of speaking is that of a bully.

Of course, I don't even need to describe O'Lielly and Glenn Beak.

[PSzymeczek]

40. Have I mentioned tonight

how much I LOVE this guy?
