Rep. Grayson: Palin trying to make 'fascism fashionable,' 'gets away with it'

Outspoken Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) criticized Sarah Palin, Chief Justice John Roberts and the Tea Party on Bill Maher's HBO show.

Grayson compared tea partiers to a character in the movie "Nemo" who can't remember anything that happened more than a year ago. He said former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) is trying to make "fascism fashionable." And he mocked Roberts and Justice Anthony Kennedy for being out of touch with technology.

During a recent case before the high court, Kennedy asked what would happen if a text message was sent to someone who was sending a text at that same moment. Roberts asked what was the difference between an e-mail and a pager. Some say Roberts's comments were taken out of context, asserting he was asking that question as it relates to privacy rights.

"I think she's gotten a pass from the media," Grayson said, adding, "She's trying to make fascism fashionable and she gets away with it."

Well Mr. Grayson, when it comes to make "facism fashionable" you should take a very good look at that Hollywierd airhead in front of you (and the media corporations he serves)

LOL Grayson who just helped pass the biggest fascist takeover ever in Health Care?

[Suzu]

He also voted to reauthorize the USA PATRIOT Act not long ago.

The irony is thick there aint it?

[akforme]

they always call out what they are. It's the best way to make people thinkg you aren't.

Paul Ryan is another pro at it. People love him because he calls out Obama. But he never mentions his vote for the bailout and patriot act.

Yeah I noticed this about Paul Ryan, he is an economic moron. Until he figures out why the hell he is a moron I don't want him as potus. And he also needs to shed the rest of his necon tendencies. Which won't happen.

Fascism has been fashionable for a long time. Nearly ever member in congress is a fascist, including Grayson.

[silentshout]

I agree with Chaos..fascism has been in vogue for a while. At least since 9/11, even before but it wasn't so apparent.

[Stary Hickory]

Fascism is only cool when it's called freedom instead. Same thing with socialism.

[Romulus]

What an ignorant tool to placate the false left/right paradigm.

[amy31416]

He also voted to reauthorize the USA PATRIOT Act not long ago.

And thus, at least with me, he loses any props I had for him in promoting HR 1207.

What an hypocritical asswipe.

asshole

[BLS]

I fuckin HATE Alan Grayson. Hate him.
I cannot find a more arrogant, ignorant man.

[Lord Xar]

Grayson is a jerk off and Maher the biggest of them all. There are no contrary beliefs or facts brought forth. It is 3 extreme leftists vs. one guest.

I friggin hate Maher. Biggest piece of shit ever. Such a walking contradiction.

And for all you "libertarians here"... he calls himself a libertarian too.. go figure. Makes sense though.
