Taliban Grayson
One thing that you can really enjoy about Alan Grayson, the over the top lefty congressman from Florida, is how ruthless he is.
Two weeks after hammering (opponent) Dan Webster as a military draft dodger, Grayson is portraying his challenger in a new ad as “Taliban Dan Webster” – a religious fundamentalist opposed to women's rights who, over the span of his nearly three-decade career in the Florida state Senate and state House, opposed abortion even in cases of rape and incest. The spot even goes so far as to suggest that Webster believes women should be submissive to their husbands.Grayson has put his $1.3 million war chest to use, hitting their airwaves heavily since Webster emerged as the victor in a crowded GOP primary in late August. Even before Grayson began accusing Webster of dodging the Vietnam draft, the Democrat had been airing spots slamming his opponent, a former state Senate majority leader, for using $32,000 of taxpayer funds on a spiral staircase for his office.
Grayson’s hard-hitting approach has come under scrutiny: Last week a Florida military veterans group complained that the Democrat was wrongly implying in one of his ads that the organization had endorsed the Democrat’s bid.
Webster has just $100,000 in the bank, so his campaign is not on TV.
