That’s putting it mildly.
Alan Grayson is a lot of things: melodramatic, vile, reptilian, insane … but one thing he is not is subtle, as evidenced by his latest stunt:
The Tea Party: "No More Popular Than the Klan" http://t.co/fpWxvNM2nZ

Here’s the corresponding fundraising email:

Allan Grayson is America's George Galloway.

Blogger Jorge Bonilla, who plans to run against Grayson in 2014, had this to say:

Grayson’s actions are shameful. And he’s still defending them!

Stunning lie by Grayson. RT @lachlan: Grayson doubles down on his Tea Party-KKK comparison http://t.co/zIEi55vvif http://t.co/oGsdK6PYoz

Surely that’s worthy of condemnation by Democrats, no?
what does DWS have to say? MT @KatiePrill:@AlanGrayson sent email comparing Tea Party to KKK. What does @DCCC?http://t.co/82cE6gfuRF

SHAMEFUL: Dem @AlanGrayson compared Tea Party to KKK in fundraising email. Will Democrats accept such intolerance? http://t.co/UY2AAOJ41c
— Brad Dayspring (@BDayspring) October 22, 2013
What does @BarackObama have to say about Dem @AlanGrayson's shocking KKK imagery in email attacking Tea Party? http://t.co/UY2AAOJ41c
— Brad Dayspring (@BDayspring) October 22, 2013
Still no word from @DCCC, @TheDemocrats, @DWSTweets, or @RepSteveIsrael on Democrat @AlanGrayson's offensive email: http://t.co/0EYg4Qni1b
— NRCC (@NRCC) October 22, 2013
How about media outrage?
https://twitter.com/BenHowe/statuses/392659688572993536
If a Tea Party Republican Rep. compared liberal Democrats to the KKK, think media would pay attention? Just curious. http://t.co/UY2AAOJ41c
— Brad Dayspring (@BDayspring) October 22, 2013
Congressman compares political opponents to the KKK, but no mention on cables yet. Wonder why? http://t.co/UY2AAOJ41c #MSNBC #CNN #FOXNEWS
— Brad Dayspring (@BDayspring) October 22, 2013
Where is the media outrage on @AlanGrayson and his comparison of the #teaparty to the KKK. @CNNAshleigh @ThomasARoberts @CNNnewsroom @msnbc
— Sal (@SundevilSal) October 22, 2013
If a Republican did this, the media would be livid! Dem @AlanGrayson uses KKK burning cross in fundraising email http://t.co/7vR4lxFpZr

We wouldn’t bet on that happening anytime soon. After all, since Grayson wears the (D), he gets a pass. Looks like for now, it’s up to citizens to hold Grayson accountable:
@AlanGrayson Are you fucking kidding me? On what planet do you think that is okay? You are truly a despicable bag of shit.
— Dave Gray (@docgray81) October 22, 2013
Yep. Or, put a little more simply:
Alan Disgrayson.
