Wacky Alan Grayson (D-Fl) Wants To Jail Critic For 5 Years

Just imagine the furor from the media, the Nutroots, and Democrats on the floor of the House if Grayson had an “R” after his name

Not everyone thinks imitation[1] is the best form of flattery.

In fact, U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson of Orlando took such offense at a parody website aimed at unseating him that the freshman Democrat has asked that U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder investigate the Lake County activist who started the anti-Grayson website “mycongressmanisnuts.com[2].”

Specifically, Grayson accuses Republican activist Angie Langley of lying to federal elections. His four-page complaint highlights the fact that the Clermont resident lives outside his district[3], but that Langley still uses the term “my” in “mycongressmanisnuts.com.”

“Ms. Langley has deliberately masqueraded as a constituent of mine, in order to try to create the false appearance that she speaks for constituents who don’t support me,” writes Grayson. “[She] has chosen a name for her committee that is utterly tasteless and juvenile.”

Grayson’s office did not respond with comment other than to confirm the letter exists – including its request that Langley be fined and “imprisoned for five years.”

Let me see, checking out ye olde Constitution and the Bill of Rights (yes, I know the BOR is part of the Constitution)……. nope, can’t find anything that requires critics of elected officials to reside in a Congress Critter’s district. I did find something about Free Speech and the ability to protest peaceably.

I am assuming all you Democrat voters will tell Grayson to stop his insanity, after you complained about Bush’s supposed assaults on the 1st Amendment. Anybody?
