If Grayson is, in fact, refusing to talk to Fox News then I applaud him. That would only be legitimizing that organization.

I seem to recall Mr. O'Reilly receiving the Media Courage award at one of those republican conferences recently, in a closed-to-the-press event. At Fox, being consistent is considered something only liberals do.

"I'm not gonna stoop to his level by name-calling"... why the sudden change of heart, Bill? Nothing's stopped you from name-calling before.

Greyson is Great, handled it perfectly.

"I'm not gonna stoop to his level by name-calling..." ..that podunk white trash sonofabitch.

Grayson is a coward.

Grayson sucks for not laughing when he said "congressman wiener"

Not at all. He just refuses to indulge FOX's guerilla-style pseudo-reporting - all they want is some controversy. They wanted him to huff and puff and defend his remarks, but he knew better than to get into that. That's not cowardice, that's common sense.

How odd. Grayson doesn't make an appointment when he makes a total ass out of himself, which is frequent enough to earn Flyer Miles. Did he recently buy stock in Rolodex?

O'Reilly said they have called him at least 10 times to come on his show to explain his comments. They have never heard back from him.

He's a coward and a blowhard. The fact that people are actually rallying behind this idiot just goes to show how far out in left field people can be.

If a Republican said something comparable like "Democrats want our troops to die." you'd never hear the end of it. We'd have a full on assault of whoever said such a hyperbolic statement. But when someone like Grayson spouts nonsense like this people rally behind him?

It's a perfect case study in left-wing hypocrisy.

^I think you have a bad memory. Right wing nuts have been loudly questioning the patriotism and integrity of democrats and progressives for a while now. The consequence is that they have been soundly drummed out of office and relegated to the fringe. So, we have heard the end of it.

AND...these wolf-criers are increasingly ignored by people that matter; this video is a case in point.

Grayson might be saying what a lot of people are thinking but he's not very.. tactful.
Seems to get himself in a lot of trouble just for using the wrong words when talking about people he doesn't agree with.

I just got this e-mail from his campaign newsletter:

Dear ---,

On Wednesday, Fox News's professional stalker Griff Jenkins stalked me all day, and then ambushed me, just so he could get some footage of me asking him to make an appointment. And sure enough, Bill O'Reilly put that footage on the air, and I was deluged with angry phone calls from Republican voters who think it's my job to be at Fox's beck and call. This is not surprising. The Republican Party is a now a wholly owned subsidiary of Fox News.

Well, I won't be taken down by Fox's weapons of mass distraction. I'm focused on saving lives and saving money. On Wednesday, on the House floor, I read the names and stories of some of the 44,000 Americans who die each year from a lack of health care.

I did this to honor them. These unnecessary, senseless deaths. That's real news, which Fox didn't spend one minute on. Instead, Fox News hectored me about whether I hurt Dick Cheney's feelings. Enough is enough.

Please join me and show Fox News and the Republican Party that we won't be bullied by them. Show them what's important to us: saving lives. On November 2, one year before my reelection, we will have a "money bomb," where progressives from all over the country are joining to support our reelection. Please pledge to our campaign here:

These Republican bullies are opposed to the change that America wants, America needs, and America voted for last year. 88% of Fox News viewers voted for George W. Bush in 2004. Fox News sends a memo to its mouthpieces every day, giving them "talking points" designed to damage Democrats. And they call this "news"!

I am a strong voice for justice, and so they stalk me.

Let's stand together and fight back.

Please show your support at http://www.CongressmanWithGuts.com.

More than 3,000 people have pledged over $200,000 for our November 2 "money bomb," one year before the next election. Show them that the people, united, will never be defeated. Show them that we will have the support we need to get reelected and keep fighting for a better America. Please join us.

It is time to get greed off the agenda. It's time to put conscience back on the agenda. Fox News has a perpetual news blackout on people without health coverage who die from it, people with health insurance who don't get the care they need, seniors who can't pay for the medicine they need to stay alive -- in short, everything that actually matters in the lives of ordinary people. Fox News has a news blackout on everything but fake tea party protests and ambushes in the halls of Congress. Enough is enough.

Thank you for helping us stay focused and save American lives.

Courage,

Alan Grayson

YOU LIE!!

Griff Jenkins is such a weasel. I always think of that Modest Mouse song when I see him: "Gonna hit you on the face gonna punch you in your
glasses. Oh no!"

why should anyone have to explain themselves to billo?

Fuck fox news. They would have just sliced out any provocative comment and left the context behind anyway.

No liberal should go on this network until they becomes actual news.
