Democratic Congressman Alan Grayson seems to be a little upset at what former Congressman Allen West said on Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly show, when West stated that he believes Grayson will lose to a “pretty good challenger” in the 2014 election cycle.Grayson then went off to say that he believes that God, yes God, “stopped listening to Allen West a long time ago.” Does the “Congressman With Guts” mean to say that God listens to him, and not Allen West?
This is just another fundraising stunt by Grayson, who has been desperately trying to fundraise since the field of Republican challengers to his congressional seat has formed, even going after his chief rival, and the man that Allen West was surely referring to, Navy veteran Jorge Bonilla.
Do you think the 2nd Amendment will be destroyed by the Biden Administration?(2)
When Grayson inexplicably used the burning-cross picture, that depicted the Tea Party movement as being a bunch of Klansmen, Bonilla was quick top pounce on him, garnering him massive national earned media, and enabling him to fundraise on Grayson’s insensitive and reprehensible fundraising stunt.
After the election, Fox News hired West as a paid bloviator. To justify paying West, Fox puts him in front of a camera from time to time. A few weeks ago, West appeared on Bill O’Lie-ly’s show – sorry, Bill O’Reilly’s show. I don’t have to tell you much about Bill O’Reilly – Sen. Al Franken wrote a whole book about him, entitled “Lies, and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them.“
So anyway, by way of introduction, O’Reilly went off on a bizarre tirade about me, calling me “crazy,” “unbalanced,” and “the most extreme Democrat in Congress.” It’s hard to tease any sort of coherent message out of what O’Reilly was saying, but he seemed to be very, very upset that “the unions love” me, and that I’m a “liberal man.”O’Reilly asked West about my prospects in the 2014 election. West said that I have “a pretty good challenger coming up against [me] in this next 2014 cycle.” Referring to me, O’Reilly said: “He is going to lose next November. He is going to lose. I predict it now.” West responded that West “prays” for my defeat.
One hopes that West’s prayers will be no more effective in 2014 than they were in 2012, when West lost his own reelection campaign. My guess is that God, like a lot of people, stopped listening to Allen West a long time ago.
Expect Grayson to ramp up his attacks this coming year on Bonilla, West, Huckabee, and anyone does not subscribe to his Socialist agenda.
