ANY person that would vote for Grayson is absolutely NUTS....I would vote for ANYONE over that creep....he's offensive....he lies....and he certainly has NO PLACE in the United States House....If I were Republicans I would give the republican challenger all the money he needs to make certain Grayson is soundly defeated. I cannot believe any sane voter would vote for him! He's the embodyment of everything thats wrong with the Democrat party.
Grayson compares foe to Taliban
Two weeks after hammering Webster as a military draft dodger, Grayson is portraying his challenger in a new ad as “Taliban Dan Webster” – a religious fundamentalist opposed to women's rights who, over the span of his nearly three-decade career in the Florida state Senate and state House, opposed abortion even in cases of rape and incest. The spot even goes so far as to suggest that Webster believes women should be submissive to their husbands.
“Daniel Webster wants to impose his radical fundamentalism on us,” says an announcer in the 30-second ad, which says that Webster “wants to make divorce illegal,” that he “voted to deny abused women health care.”
The spot also claims that Wesbter “tried to prohibit alimony to an ‘adulterous wife’ but not an adulterous husband,’” and that he “wants to force women to stay in abusive marriages.”
The ad also features footage of Webster saying, “Wives, submit yourselves to your own husband.”
The spot concludes, “Taliban Dan Webster: Hands off our body – and our laws.”
Webster’s campaign did not respond to several requests for comment Sunday.
Andy Sere, a spokesman for the National Republican Congressional Committee, said in an e-mail message: "Equating a respected statesman like Dan Webster with the terrorists who killed thousands of Americans is beyond low, even for Alan Grayson."
Grayson has put his $1.3 million war chest to use, hitting their airwaves heavily since Webster emerged as the victor in a crowded GOP primary in late August. Even before Grayson began accusing Webster of dodging the Vietnam draft, the Democrat had been airing spots slamming his opponent, a former state Senate majority leader, for using $32,000 of taxpayer funds on a spiral staircase for his office.
Grayson’s hard-hitting approach has come under scrutiny: Last week a Florida military veterans group complained that the Democrat was wrongly implying in one of his ads that the organization had endorsed the Democrat’s bid.
Webster, who has a little over $100,000 in his campaign bank account, has been far quieter on the airwaves in the race in Florida's 8th District. He began a mostly positive spot last week focusing on reducing the nation’s deficit.
