Grayson 2.0 on Republicans, Confederate flag, bigots, paranoids and gun worshipers

Now the Orlando Democrat has brought his hyperbolic anti-Republican humor show to the Florida Democratic Party's convention at the Disney Yacht and Beach Club Resort, with a bit calling some Republicans everything from bigots to gun worshipers. He got a few laughs though some might have been nervous, as many Democrats weighed their love of Grayson's successful liberal politics with their common assertion that politics need to be more civil.
In Grayson's bit, to about 1,200 delegates gathered here, he claimed to have a leaked copy of the Republican Party's convention agenda. Here are some of the points he imagined:
"At 8 a.m., the raising of the flag, the Confederate flag.
"At 8:30 a.m. the morning breakout sessions. Ballrom A: the bigots. Ballroom B: the paranoids. And Ballroom C: the largest group of all, the gullible.

I certainly hope that there will be someone attending the Florida Republican Convention to report on all the civil and kind things they say about Democrats.

(13,685 posts)I've never heard them say anything bad about us. Sure, they have talked about putting targets on us and hunting us down, and how the President wasn't born here, and how we are to blame for all the ills of society, but that's about all.
So how come Alan is so upset? Any centrists here who can explain what the fuss is?

(13,685 posts)They get real upset when it is pointed out the centrists are cohorts with racists, bigots and other folks who wish they were kings over all of us.

(90,061 posts)For some time now. You see what they want you to see. So that won't happen.
And I'm pretty sure Grayson wants everything he said there made public, so they did him favor by spreading the word. The Conservatives want to pretend that Grayson is out of bounds, but he is not doing a thing they don't do all day every day. They think they don't have to be civil, but we do. Nobody but suckers buys that sort of "logic".

Off to send a few bucks your way.

(46,757 posts)beginning to get suspicious of any Democrat who is afraid to criticize Republicans.
Let's just say, that if we could keep a strict eye on campaign events put on by attorneys that cross the line between the private-public sectors, we would put a major dent in corruption.
