Grayson: Palin to Blame for Giffords Shooting

 Disgraced former Congressman Alan Grayson has apparently not got enough attention from his two year stint as a Representative. Grayson also did not seem to get the Democrats' new memo regarding 'civility' in politics. He is now openly blaming former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin for the shooting.

Grayson was ousted last November by Daniel Webster in one of the closest-watched House races. He was defeated by the convincing margin of 18 points after barely winning in the Democratic wave year of 2008.

He was unrepentant-- and in fact, even more bombastic than usual:

Reacting to Palin's defense of her controversial video on the Ariz. massacre and use of the phrase "blood libel," Grayson writes: "That's interesting, I thought. What else might Palin be defending? Cannibalism, maybe?"

That last part is particularly ironic because Grayson warned that people may become cannibals if Republicans got their way.  The article continues:

Grayson goes on to offer his own summary of Palin's appearance on Sean Hannity's Fox News show: "Palin: I am so misunderstood. Hannity: I am so misunderstood. Palin: I am so misunderstood."

Grayson says not only was Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz), who was critically wounded in the shooting at her "Congress On Your Corner" event, wary of Palin's rhetoric, but that the former GOP vice presidential nominee used the same "crossfire" symbol against him.

"Even before I heard earlier Palin's whining about 'misguided finger-pointing' and 'irresponsible statements from people who are apportioning blame,' I thought about this: Palin came to my district, and told her people to 'take me out.' Palin told people again and again, 'don't retreat, reload.'"

Terrible. Grayson of course said that the Republican plan for health care was to have people "die quickly." He also compared GOP policies to cannibals previously. He said that President Bush knew that 9/11 was going to happen beforehand. He launched terrible smear ads against his opponent in which he called Webster "Taliban Dan" by taking a quote of his out of context.

Now do you see why he was knocked out last year?
