SOUNDS LIKE THE WEBSITE IS ON TO SOMETHING. . .

Politico - Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.), prone for throwing his own political bombs at Republicans, has threatened a local critic with five years in jail for creating the website "mycongressmanisnuts.com,"

The Orlando Sentinel reports that Grayson wrote a letter this week to Attorney General Eric Holder demanding that the federal government imprison Republican activist Angie Langley for five years because of her website criticizing him.

The website, designed to raise money against Grayson, catalogues videos and news clippings that portray the provocative congressman in an unfavorable light. It courts donors to donate money to help elect his Republican challenger next year - collecting $3,725 to date.

Grayson accuses the activist of misrepresenting the fact that she's a constituent of his (she lives outside his district).

"Ms. Langley has deliberately masqueraded as a constituent of mine, in order to create the false appearance that she speaks for constituents who don't support me," Grayson wrote in the letter.

Earlier this month, he told MSNBC's Chris Matthews he wished Dick Cheney would "STFU."
Earlier in the year, Grayson referred to conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh as a "has-been hypocrite loser" who "was more lucid when he was a drug addict."

I don't know. As is typical of Republicans, this woman is a serial liar. I bet her "facts" are just as accurate.

I really liked Grayson until I saw this - he's finally shown his true colors.
