Freshman Florida Congressman Alan Grayson took outspoken to a new level on MSNBC’s Hardball with Chris Matthews on Wednesday night.  As Chris Matthews asked Grayson what he thought of Dick Cheney’s comment on Fox news that Obama will “give aid and comfort to the enemy” by putting Khalid Sheikh Mohammed on trial in New York City,  Grayson with a smirk replied:

I don’t know. You know, on the Internet there’s an acronym that’s used to apply to situations like this. It’s called “STFU.” I don’t think I can say that on the air, but I think you know what that means.

Even Chris Matthews seemed a bit disconcerted as he quickly changed the topic, saying:  “Oh! I got you. Stop talking, in crude language. Well, I don’t think you’re gonna get him to do that.”

Not to be deterred, Grayson continues talking about the blogosphere criticizing President Obama for bowing to the Japanese Emperor.  Grayson said about President George W. Bush and the Saudi Royal family:

I remember Bush Junior kissing Prince Abdullah on the cheek, and then holding his hand for an extended period of time.  Maybe if he’d let him get to second base, then gasoline would be a dollar a gallon.

National Republican Congressional Committee Spokesman, Andy Sere, fired back at Grayson: “The foul mouthed man-child from Orlando is at it again, taking to the airwaves to bring shame to struggling Central Florida families who want jobs, not nut-jobs.  But speaking of bases, Alan Grayson’s constituents surely find themselves wishing his parents had never gotten past first.”

Alan Grayson was an unrecognizable Freshman in Congress until he became known in September for outlining his opinion of the Republican healthcare plan:

“If you get sick in America, this is what the Republicans want you to do: If you get sick America, the Republican health care plan is this: Die quickly.  That’s right, the Republicans want you to die quickly if you get sick.”

When called upon to apologize for that comment, Grayson continued in his original vein and said he apologize to “the dead and their families that we haven’t voted sooner to end this holocaust in America.”  He then opened a website called namesofthedead.com with names and stories of people who have allegedly died from lack of healthcare.

Grayson comes from a swing district in Orlando.  Republicans have not announced their support for a candidate to run against Grayson.

    I ask you are the Tea Party going to ask some one from the Party to run against this nut case. It is the Teas Party time and if we miss this chance we will be less stronger in 2012 with other seats coming due.

    John, Thanks for your comments! There is a Conservative candidate that is going to run against Grayson but so far, the GOP have withheld their support. Check out Armando Gutierrez!

    We the people of the United States of America with the exception of Nebraska, Louisiana and Vermont one nation under God. They have sold out the rest of the other states for them self. The people will have to stand up and the only way they can fight back now is to stop buying. If the government don’t have the taxes business gives them they can only print so much before we are broke. Hell I’m already broke!
