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’s contention is that the owner of the site is not a constituent and presents herself as such. Presumptively, it is the “mycongressman” part of the title which offends Grayson, as the website doesn’t say “I, Jane Doe, am Graysons constituent and I think he’s nuts”. To Grayson, only people who he directly represents can call him nuts, I guess.
But, the fact remains, Grayson is nuts and thus the website is accurate – and Grayson has now become an insane fascist over it. I recommend that someone else set up http://www.mycongressmanisafascist.com to complement this fine website.
