Complete Title: The Soros Summit - Free Beacon exclusive: Inside the secret Miami meeting of George Soros’s liberal conspiracy ### A secretive network of left-wing billionaires and their political operatives descended on the luxurious Biltmore Hotel in Miami over the weekend to discuss strategy for the coming elections. The location of the conference had been kept a closely guarded secret by the members and guests of Democracy Alliance (DA), a collection of ultra-wealthy liberal donors formed in 2005, and is reported here in a Washington Free Beacon exclusive. Attendees roamed the grounds at the 150-acre tropical resort on their way...

I was enjoying the response to the MoveOn.org flowchart at iOwnTheWorld when I noticed an advertisement on the sidebar for Alan Grayson. “Put Progressive Champion Alan Grayson back in Congress!” the ad crowed. But given Mr. Grayson’s recent troubles, I took the liberty of modifiyng the ad slightly. Much better!

The Jewish Congressman who became the darling of the left wing of the Democratic party but not so much with his district (he served only one term), who, in 2009, defined the Republican’s idea of health care plan as, “Don’t get sick, and if you do get sick, die quickly,” may require some serious health care himself. According to WESH-TV2, last Saturday in Orlando, Fla., the former Florida Democratic Congressman Alan Grayson ran a red light with his car, a Mercedes (now, is that a car a nice Jewish boy should be driving?) and smashed into a public transit bus....

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Former U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson crashed into a Lynx bus in downtown Orlando about noon Saturday. Grayson was traveling to an upscale fundraising event for his Congressional campaign. Authorities with the Orlando Police Department said the crash happened at Orange Avenue and Livingston Street. Investigators said Grayson was driving a Mercedes, when he ran a red light and hit the bus. Police and a campaign representative said Grayson and his passenger were not hurt. Two people aboard the bus claimed they suffered minor injuries and were taken to a hospital. Authorities said the crash is under investigation,...

Go ahead, call it shooting fish in a barrel. As soon as Ed Schultz mentioned at the top of his MSNBC show this evening that Alan Grayson would be a guest, you knew the former Dem congressman from Florida would say something outrageous. Sure enough, the guy who was roundly defeated last time around—but is giving it another go—delivered, claiming that Newt Gingrich is running "the most overtly racist campaign" since George Wallace. Grayson also managed to work in a reference to the Ten Commandment's prohibition of adultery. View the video here.

"Cenk's Back" and Grayson's on him! Yes, that's the news that's rocking the political talk world today. Cenk Uygur is BACK! Back on TV, back in your living room, where he belongs. And--now hold on to your hat--Alan Grayson is slated to be his first guest, TONIGHT! Wow! Is this exciting or what? Your genial TV talk host, Cenk "The Young Turk" Uygur, has been absent from the cable airwaves, lo, these past many months, after an all-too-brief run on MSNBC, where, somehow, he was not able to garner the ratings he so richly deserves. I think Diebold must...

For a guy Al Sharpton introduced as a "warrior for the 99%," Alan Grayson's got a weird way of showing it. One of the richest members of Congress--till his constituents showed him the door in 2010--on Sharpton's MSNBC show this evening Grayson twice described the 99% as "sheep." View the video here.

Q. Faced with President Obama's difficult re-election prospects, is there any depth to which the desperate liberal media won't sink? A. Apparently not. Take this evening's Ed Show. Schultz accused Rep. Paul Ryan of "inciting civil war" and suggested Republicans might "want violence to take place in our society." Not to be outdone, thankfully former Florida congressman Alan Grayson called Ryan and Republicans "the real killers," akin to O.J. Simpson. View the video here.

Looney Tunes Leftie Alan Grayson is a GOD in DUmmieland! And the defeated one-term congressman from Outlandish, Florida, has just announced that he will TRY AGAIN in 2012. This sent a buzz through DUmmieland like you wouldn't believe! And then, lo and behold, The Man himself showed up, in the DUmp, to greet the faithful! It's like a rock star--no, a movie star--dropping by to pay a visit on the little people! But in reality, Alan "Guts" Grayson just dropped in to . . . FLEECE THE DUMMIES! Yes, he didn't actually INTERACT with these morans, he just stopped...

WFTV learned on Monday that former U.S. Congressman Alan Grayson is running for office again. On Monday, Grayson said he doesn't plan to do anything different. He said he's running again because of all the people who have reached out and asked him to. Grayson already raised nearly $100,000 in donations before filing his paperwork on Monday. "We need somebody who's gonna stick up for what's right. Somebody with guts," Grayson said. During Grayson's last campaign an ad referred to his opponent, Daniel Webster, as Taliban Dan. Grayson lost his District 8 Congressional seat to Webster after a highly controversial...

On Wednesday, controversial former Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) mocked former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, outlined death threats he and other Members received last year and detailed inflammatory rhetoric, asking his supporters to “stand against it.” “[T]here has been a stream of violence and threats of violence by the right wing against Democrats. [Rep. Gabrielle Giffords] warned against it, and then became a terrible victim of it. Palin has instigated it, and then tried to pretend that it doesn’t exist,” Grayson wrote in an e-mail to supporters. Grayson said it was Palin’s appearance on “The Sean Hannity Show,” where she complained...

The defeated Democrat does one more presentation on the House floor, going after Rush, Beck, Hannity and O'Reilly when talking about tax cuts for the wealthy...Keep in mind that Grayson is a multi-millionaire himself..(Video)

Disgraced and defeated Congressman Alan Grayson appeared on Fox Business on November 9th with Eric Bolling and at about 3 minutes into the interview, things went south fast. After an insult or two, the interview was cut short.

Are you an elected Democrat? Someone who managed to survive the whacking this week, but is still looking forward to early retirement beginning in 2012? We've got the perfect political consulting firm for you: Grayson-Ugyur . . . Sitting in for Ed Schultz this evening, Cenk Ugyur embraced Dem loser Alan Grayson's hyper-confrontional campaigning style, while adding a suggestion all his own: Dem arrogance and triumphalism. Please, Dems, retain this apocryphal firm immediately: we could be headed to the first 435-0 House in history. View video here.

The PowerPoint slides presented to House Republicans in January 2009 seemed incongruously optimistic at a time when the very word “hope” belonged to the newly ascendant Democrats and their incoming president, Barack Obama. “If the goal of the majority is to govern, what is the purpose of the minority?” one slide... --snip-- He said his team was thrilled when Mr. Sestak raised a public objection, arguing that, in fact, he voted with Ms. Pelosi 97 percent of the time. In a climate where Ms. Pelosi was toxic, “I was like, ‘Jackpot,’ ” Mr. Miller said. (Mr. Sestak lost in a...

Really? The big reason Alan Grayson gives for losing his seat after running one of the most despicable campaigns ever is … gerrymandering? Just to clarify the issue, Republicans did win thirteen straight Congressional elections in FL-08, but Cook has it as an R+2, which shouldn’t be an insurmountable disadvantage for a good candidate. Of course, it’s easier to blame gerrymandering than his own bizarre decision to smear his opponent for his belief in Christianity by calling Daniel Webster “Taliban Dan.” It was going to be a tough election for Grayson anyway in this environment, but Grayson’s own actions exposed...

On October 28 Democratic Rep. Alan Grayson appeared on the Ed Schultz Radio Show in which Ed was rambling on about ‘instances’ that occurred at Republican events and asked Grayson, of all people, his take on it. Grayson then responded by saying “I think the right wing is trying to institute a national nervous breakdown.”

"That clearly was a faked poll" said Grayson....This race is too close to call...Grayson in Winter Park Florida yesterday

This term will see redistricting, a once in a decade process by which all congressional, state level and regional seats are redrawn. We need to work hard to elect a Republican governor, unless we want to cede as many as 6 congressional seats to the Democrats. As of this email, Sandy Adams is poised to beat Suzanne Kosmas. We may well be on track to seeing Allen West elected to Congress in South Florida. Alan Grayson appears to be going down to defeat in FL-8. But elect Alex Sink as governor and Alan Grayson, Suzanne Kosmas, Alan Boyd and Ron...

There are hundreds of plausible nominees for the title of America’s Second-Smarmiest Politician, but surely the top spot is un-contested. Americans of all political persuasions can come together in affirming one proposition: Public life would be improved by scrubbing Rep. Alan Grayson from it. This act of civic hygiene probably will be performed Nov. 2 by voters of Florida’s Eighth Congressional District. Polls indicate that a majority of them plan to deny Grayson, 52, a second term by electing his resonantly named opponent, Daniel Webster. Grayson, never missing an opportunity to live down to his reputation, ridicules Webster’s “18th-century name.”...

ORLANDO—There are hundreds of plausible nominees for the title of America’s Second-Smarmiest Politician, but surely the top spot is un-contested. Americans of all political persuasions can come together in affirming one proposition: Public life would be improved by scrubbing Rep. Alan Grayson from it. This act of civic hygiene probably will be performed Nov. 2 by voters of Florida’s Eighth Congressional District. Polls indicate that a majority of them plan to deny Grayson, 52, a second term by electing his resonantly named opponent, Daniel Webster.

I'm sure that you all know that Alan Grayson is insane. He said that Republicans want people to "die quickly," that people will resort to cannibalism if government spending is cut, that his campaign headquarters is like "ground zero at Hiroshima," and that President Bush knew about 9/11 before it happened. Apparently, liberal hack and Congressman Anthony Weiner is unaware of these things, he simply doesn't care, or he agrees with them. Either way, he has released a video in full support of Grayson: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlB83n5YbUE&feature=player_embedded Alan Grayson, of course, could not resist the endorsement and posted it on his Facebook...

Here is raw amateur video of Gov. Sarah Palin speaking at a GOP Victory Rally in Orlando, Florida yesterday, October 23, 2010. Palin urged the crowd to keep working hard for victory all the way to Election Day, November 2. She praised Marco Rubio, Rick Scott, Allen West, Daniel Webster, and other GOP candidates in Florida. Palin called for “you know who” – referring to bizarre Democrat Rep. Alan Grayson – to be turned into a “one-term wonder” on Election Day (9:57 mark of the Part 2 video)!

Vice President Biden will campaign for controversial Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) next week in Florida. Biden will attend an event on Monday for the first-term Democratic lawmaker, who's made waves during his term in Congress by taking outspoken liberal stances on issues. Biden will attend a reception on Monday for Grayson following a speech at a conference for the International Association of Chiefs of Police in Orlando. The event will Biden's 99th event on behalf of candidates this year. He'll attend his 100th event the same day after traveling to New Hampshire and campaigning on behalf of Ann McLane Kuster,...

When last we checked in with nutjob Congressman Alan "Dick" Grayson, he had arranged with Head DUmmie $kimmer to allow him to do some fundraising there. So some staffer posted a form letter, under Grayson's name, and many of the DUmmies fell for it, thought it was Grayson himself writing just to them, and I'm sure some of them gave up their Domino's that night to send $10 to Grayson their hero. Well, now Grayson is so desperate--you see, the Democrat Congressional Committee has cut off all money for Grayson, because they know he is a lost cause--Grayson is...

All right... all you guys... listen up! I just got off the phone with Sarah Palin. She is coming to Orlando for a big Victory 2010 rally.... and she has invited all vets to attend for free! That's right, she wants all us current and former Grunts, Squids, Blue suiters, Marines, and Coasties to be her special guests this Saturday, October 23d. The event is at the Marriott World Center near Walt Disney World. Admission is normally as much as $90 for this Victory 2010 fundraiser, with all the profits going to ensure a strong Conservative victory this year! If...

Congressman Alan Grayson is lashing out at negative ads against his campaign paid for by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. According to Politico Grayson is targeted by 20 percent of all the outside spending. An ad sponsored by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce calls Grayson "Nancy Pelosi's lap-dog." Grayson, whose campaign was attacked for running the negative "Taliban Dan" ads against his opponent Daniel Webster, doesn't like the ads against him paid for by outside influences. "Every single person in Orlando has seen ads an average of 70 negative ads against me on TV, 70 negative ads in the past...

They blast Grayson: "Mr. Grayson has become nationally notorious for his over-the-top attacks on Republicans. Who could forget these greatest hits? He declared that the GOP health plan was for Americans to "die quickly" if they get sick. He used a vulgar acronym to say that former Vice President Dick Cheney should shut up. He called Republicans "knuckle-dragging Neanderthals, He has kept up this scorched-earth approach in his re-election campaign"

I'm a retiree and resident of Mount Dora. I do have representation. Too many "angry" tea-partiers are not aware of what the Boston Tea Party was all about. Some may be sincere, but are being duped by rich Republicans. They seem to only spew and not attempt to resolve. What are solutions that the filthy rich and Bush administration left the current administration with? I'd Like to ask a Palin, O'Donnel, Angle or Bockman. They come up empty or run from a press conference. They appear on Fox with ready questions and bash jargon. Never a solution to resolve. They...

Just how desperate is Democrat Congressman Alan Grayson to get re-elected now that even liberals such as Contessa Brewer have questioned both his credibility and ethics? So desperate that Grayson is now pleading for donations at the Democratic Undergound. And in keeping with his normal operating procedure, Grayson accompanied his donation plea with a flat out lie. Here is Grayson making his pitch to the DUers with his lie highlighted: On Friday, the DC newspaper "Politico" reported that: (a) "conservative outside groups" have now spent over $9 million "slamming vulnerable House Democrats," and (b) the total against me will reach...

Alan Grayson is just $10 away from being re-elected.In a case like where the mental patient breaks into the asylum, sanity-challenged Congressman Alan Grayson has entered DUmmieland to BEG for money. You just have to know Grayson is really desperate if he has to plead to that bunch of loons as you can see in his THREAD, "We Are #1! #1 in Right-Wing Attacks Against Us!" So let us now watch Alan Grayson plead for bucks from the DUmmie inmates in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, fitting Grayson for his straitjacket, in the [brackets]: We...

Here is video of Florida Democrat Rep. Alan Grayson being hammered by CNN’s Anderson Cooper over his pathetic ad against his GOP opponent Dan Webster in which Grayson called him, “Taliban Dan.” Grayson tried to defend the essential content of the ad, while admitting they have now allowed the ad to die. But Anderson Cooper was relentless in calling Grayson out for the way he cut what Webster said in order to make it say something entirely opposite what he was actually saying. Cooper also called Grayson out for another ad in which he attacks Webster for not serving in...

Ministers from across Central Florida are rallying against Representative Alan Grayson. They want him to tone down attacks against his opponent Daniel Webster. A group of Christian leaders got together Sunday to send Grayson a letter asking him to tone down his attacks. They said his recent TV ad went over the line and pegged all Christians as radicals. Grayson and Webster spoke with News 13 about their thoughts over the controversial ad. "The negative ads are simply telling the truth. And with the idea that we've taken this idea out of context, that's an old ploy by a 28-year...

If you are unaware of the on-going twitter war between Sarah Palin and Alan Grayson, here is a brief summary to bring you up to speed. Alan Grayson is running for Congress in Florida. Several days ago his campaign released an ad in which Dan Webster, Grayson's opponent, is called "Taliban Dan." The ad also has several sound bites in which Mr. Webster says "submit to me," implying that Webster is a religious zealot. In the days after, it was revealed that not only were the quotes in the ad out of context, but that Grayson was aware that the...

Well, get a load of what he did to his Republican opponent Daniel Webster (you have to watch both videos)....

U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson has been subpoenaed to testify on Oct. 21 in a civil case that claimed he paid roughly $40,000 to a consulting company created by a tea party activist. The case stemmed from defamation lawsuit filed by tea party activist and longtime conservative campaign consultant Doug Guetzloe against three people who claimed that Guetzloe and his Tea Party of Florida group “hijacked” the name of the national tea party movement. The defendants' lawyer Wade Vose, on the other hand, claimed Guetzloe helped form a consulting company called Public Opinion Strategies with financial backing from Grayson. “My clients...

Big news in the fight to unseat the man who is arguably the worst Dem in the House, Alan Grayson, FL-8. A local Dem kingmaker, who is a huge FOH, has turned against Grayson. The Dem kingmaker usually does not dabble in FL politics, but is credited as the one who saved Hillary's reputation in the later stages of Monicagate. The gentleman in question is very well connected in the Rich Lib-Dem Jewish circles nationally and is now advised them all to abandon Grayson. In addition, two of the richest people in Cent FL, both Jewish and huge Grayson/Obama supporters...

MSNBC, well known for being a liberal bastion, had Alan Grayson on to talk about his "Taliban Dan" attack ad against his Republican opponent, Daniel Webster. When confronted with the full context of the ad, Grayson refused to admit that he had erred and once again called Grayson a member of the Taliban. Surprisingly, this MSNBC journalist hit Grayson pretty hard in the interview, though the ad is so appalling even liberals know it is wrong:

Grayson ripped Webster's words so far out of context that it approaches, or perhaps reaches, the point of slander. Coming on the heels of the "draft dodger" attack, the "Taliban Dan" ad has left Republicans outraged. "Alan Grayson's hate-filled lies are unconscionable and they exhibit a pathological pattern of instability and deceit," says Ken Spain, communications director of the National Republican Congressional Committee. "For the past two years, his vitriolic remarks and unpredictable behavior have become an embarrassment to the voters he promised to represent." Grayson, meanwhile, has not only not withdrawn his ads -- he has released yet another....

We criticize MSNBC enough for its naked advocacy on behalf of the Democrats and Barack Obama, so in all fairness, we should note that they do have limits … and Alan Grayson apparently found them. Contessa Brewer engages Grayson on his disgraceful, dishonest “Taliban Dan” smear and — to her credit — refuses to let him off the hook for it. At one point, Grayson accuses Brewer of distracting attention from women’s issues, but Brewer fires back and tells Grayson that he approved the ad and its own off-message smears and out-of-context quotes. If Grayson was serious about the issues,...

Rep. Alan Grayson's attempt to equate his Republican challenger with the Taliban is having a big impact — just not the one Grayson may have hoped. In an ad, Grayson's campaign calls Republican Daniel Webster a "religious fanatic" — a charge it supports with video in which Webster seems to encourage wives to "submit" to their husbands. But FactCheck.org says the narrative crafted by the Florida Democrat's campaign distorts what Webster was actually saying. "Grayson has lowered the bar even further. He's using edited video to make his rival appear to be saying the opposite of what he really said,"...

The Florida Democrat manipulates video to make his opponent seem to urge wives to ‘submit’ to husbands. He didn’t. September 27, 2010 Summary We thought Democratic Rep. Alan Grayson of Florida reached a low point when he falsely accused his opponent of being a draft dodger during the Vietnam War, and of not loving his country. But now Grayson has lowered the bar even further. He’s using edited video to make his rival appear to be saying the opposite of what he really said. In a new ad, Grayson accuses his Republican opponent Daniel Webster of being a religious fanatic...

Dem Congressman Alan Grayson of Florida, discussing 9-11, says President George W. Bush, "Let it happen."

Did Far-Left Dem Congressman Alan Grayson Scam The City Of Orlando? (FR exclusive) Citizens of Central Florida are accustomed to being scammed by far-left Congressman Alan Grayson. Grayson recently spent $73,000 of federal taxpayers’ money on a re-election DVD. The DVD was supposedly an “informational” recording, but everyone who held their nose and watched it saw that it was clearly a “re-elect me” piece from Florida’s most infamous Congressman….. paid for by us. Grayson is well known and reviled throughout the country for announcing on the House floor that Republicans wanted old people to die to reduce health care costs....

Left wing hack Alan Grayson goes on a tirade against Fox News: "One of the fundamental problems is Fox...Fox News has turned into Monty Python's lying circus, all day long they spew lies out time after time, day after day and they've created this bubble of irreality around to the people who listen to them and it's a threat to this country. It is a threat to this country"....(Video)

Alan Grayson didn't quite go Rosie-O'Donnell-fire-doesn't-melt-steel demento, but he did his best . . . Appearing with guest-host Cenk Uygur on The Ed Show, the denatured Dem congressman from Florida, speaking of 9-11, claimed that Pres. George W. Bush "let it happen." With Pres. Obama heading out to Martha's Vineyard for his sixth vacation this year, Grayson, of all things, berated Bush for having gone on vacation in August. For good measure, the only way that Grayson referred to the Ground Zero mosque was as . . . an "athletic center" and a "health club." View video here.
