I haven't given much money to any candidates lately and haven't felt too good about the Dems since it seems like every time we have the momentum something stupid happens like firing Mrs. Sherrod or not clubbing Republicans over the head for their attacks against the unemployed. But then Senator Al Franken or Representative Alan Grayson does something special just for us, the people.
In the recent recommended diary by The Erratic Synapse, Grayson to GOP: Stop Taking Food Out of the Mouths of Children, Rep Grayson takes Republicans to task for their shameful behavior.
The Huffington Post reports today that the vice president of the conservative Media Research Center, the motto of which is, "The Leader in Documenting, Exposing, and Neutralizing Liberal Media Bias",
offered $100 to the first member of Congress who punches "smary [sic] idiot" Alan Grayson (D-Fl.) in the nose
Of course, just like other Republicans who encourage these acts of violence against Democratic elected official, he says it was just a humorous offer.....
Grayson's response:
"I think he's overlooking something important: I punch back."
So, thank you Representative Grayson. To show my appreciation I make this offer to the dKos community. For every dollar donation you make to Rep. Grayson on my newly created ActBlue page, Alan Grayson - I Punch Back, I will match that dollar up to the 1st $100.
I also want to thank all the Democrats out there who do know how to punch back after the Republicans do their thing.
