Alan Grayson’s Second Shot At Robert Gibbs: “He Is A Failure, And That’s Why He Should Go”

video
» 35 comments

Perhaps the longest-lasting consequence of Press Secretary Robert Gibbs‘ “professional left” comment may turn out to be the radical shift in Rep. Alan Grayson‘s rhetoric from associating Dick Cheney with Satan and attacking other conservatives to repeatedly calling for Gibbs’ resignation– which he again did on tonight’s Rick’s List.

Speaking to host Rick Sanchez, he responded directly to Gibbs’ assertion that some liberals should be “drug-tested” for disagreeing with the Obama administration’s policies, identifying those opponents as “the people who gave him his job… he’s denigrating us, and that’s unfortunate.” Then he took the same line of attack the first time he came out against Gibbs, accusing him of parroting Fox News’ attacks: “He knows Fox talking points and little else.”

He concluded his call for Gibbs’ resignation more forcefully than before, directly calling Gibbs a “failure” because Obama’s approval ratings are falling and the media is focusing on issues that are not favorable to the administration: “the birthers, about mosques, about the repeal of the 14th Amendment.”

    They are coming to take him away Ha HA.

  • Constantly

    get out the popcorn, this will be like watching two mongoloids fight

  • timzank

    Wow, the hits just keep on coming! More popcorn indeed!

    The funny thing for me is, both these guys are so equally unlikeable, so slimy. Makes me wonder what their families think of them. Can you imagine how their kids must feel?

  • JoeRemi

    Alan Grayson for President! That dude kicks ass, and the pansie “oh no, the righties are mad at us” Obama administration should listen to him.

  • Arkansas Steve

    Alan Grayson must be the ONLY PERSON IN THE WORLD who admires and imitates Keith Olbermann.

  • felixw

    The internal bickering on the Left is getting worse with each passing day. And this won’t stop any time soon. It will actually get worse as we get closer to election day, and will explode after the results are counted. More and more Democrats now understand that the November elections will be a disaster for the Left, and they all want to play the blame game. Grayson blames Gibbs. Gibbs blames Olbermann. Olbermann blames everybody but himself….etc. etc.

    Sanchez . Why don’t you and Satan’s right hand man there go out and have a few belts and then come back ? Florida has had no shortage of bizarre people in Congress : Wasserman – Schultz , Hastings , Scarborough and especially Grayson . Gibbs is obnoxious and his assistant Beady – eyed Bill is a clown . … I rest my case .

    Did you folks in Central Florida enjoy the video? Hope you did since you paid for it.

    “Thanks to perks given to all members of Congress, it’s not Grayson’s campaign but taxpayers who footed the nearly $73,000 bill to produce and mail the DVD to 100,000 homes in Grayson’s district of Lake, Marion, Orange and Osceola counties.”

    You’re tax dollars at work.

    This is so funny!

    Two failures talking about a 3rd failure on a failed network!

  • lonestar77

    If Rep. Grayson has any family or friends, they need to do an intervention. This dude is deranged. I don’t know what he’s on but his mind is definitely screwed up.

    You can’t fix stupid. Liberalism is a mental disorder- Reagan was right .

    Liberalism is a different point of view, you neanderthals.

    So tell where it’s okay to use 73,000 of the taxpayers money to produce a DVD about yourself, I missed that part in the Liberalism 101.

    Bugs Bunny is here and he wants to check in with his thoughts about Alan Grayson.

    Puck, if you’re planning on using one example of bad behavior of a politician to support the contention that “liberalism is a mental disorder”, we won’t be talking long. I realize most of the comments on this site are of the screaming flame variety, but I don’t play that game.

    Hey Joe, re-read my post again and tell me where I made a reference to ““liberalism is a mental disorder”.

    So tell where it’s okay to use 73,000 of the taxpayers money to produce a DVD about yourself, I missed that part in the Liberalism 101.

  • Lindaspy

    Alan Grayson,,,your the man!! Keep throwing those punches and telling it like it is,,,You have more people for you than against you!!!!

  • JoeRemi

    Puck, you responded to my response about “mental disorder”. Even breaking it down to just your response to me, I don’t see how your example refutes my statement that liberalism is a political point of view. All ideologies have examples of shady practices.

  • Latin2

    Alan “Shrek” Grayson is a bigger joke than Sanchez…and that is saying a lot.

    Joe you seem a little paranoid, why don’t you just answer my question and we will leave it at that. Now,where is it okay to use $73,000 of the taxpayers money to produce a DVD about yourself.

    I think many liberals would find this practice a little strange.

  • biffa

    Puck: I realise that amongst Republican circles, reading beyond the headline is somewhat akin to raping the baby Jesus with a copy of the Koran but….

    Have you considered doing it in this case ? Might stop you embarassing yourself quite so badly.

  • http://gordonbloyershow.com gordonbloyershow

    You have to understand JoeRemi is a union hack.

    Joe, a lie is not a different opinion, a different point of view it is just a LIE. Liberal don’t express a different opinions they just LIE.

  • Penguin60

    “Alan Grayson for President! That dude kicks ass”

    Yeah, he just doesn’t realize it’s his own. Everytime this escapee from a mental institution opens his piehole he just keeps digging that stupid ditch deeper. My guess is he’s auditioning for a job on the state run cable show’s after FLA comes to it’s senses and hand’s this poor excuse for a human his walking papers Why would anyone with half a brain take this buffoon seriously?

  • Cecelia

    It think Alan Grayson is in cahoots with Robert Gibbs…

    Gibbs referred to the “professional left” and Grayson stepped up to exhibit just who and what sort zealotry that Gibbs meant.

  • http://apostrophejones.com Apostrophe jones

    Gibbsy is a failure ? Unlike you , a highly successful distinguished statesman .

  • JoeRemi

    Gordon, you are a shouting idiot. I’ve gotten a taste of your comments on this mindnumbingly toxic site, and it’s not worth my trouble. I’m in the habit of debating conservatives that are actual thinking adults who can carry on a conversation. This obviously isn’t the place for that.

  • Cancon1

    Moron, meet Moron… Nuff said.

  • Snidely

    Geez. Things are really weird when I – a reactionary old curmudgeon and unreconstructed Southerner – agree with a left wingnut like Grayson!

    Which leads me to my favorite…from earlier in the thread….

    Typical leftwinger… call people ‘neanderthals’…. then chastise everybody else for ‘screaming flame comments’ with the customary ‘I don’t play that game’ hypocritical cherry on top…. then whine a bit more before sulking off.

    Dipshit. Anybody who thinks the Obama administation would benefit politically from following the lead of that lunatic Grayson is just as demented as Grayson. He’s the political genius and great unifier who said “The republicans health care plan is ‘Dont Get Sick’”, right?

    Like I said. typical leftwinger.

  • http://none pyrope

    Alan Grayson is one of the best reasons I can think of for not being a Democrat…but then there are so MANY choices.

  • JoeRemi

    Have no fear, FearMonger (note: that was a pun), I’m not afraid to sling BS with the best of them once it gets started, but I won’t make a habit of it. Once you get one idiot saying all liberals are liars, and another saying my POV is a mental illness, you can count on all the “neanderthal” accusations I can throw until I get bored with you flame-throwing 12-year-olds.

    I really believe this is all being orchestrated out of the White House. I may be wrong but I have never been able to trust Gibbs. He just doesnt look like he’s telling the truth most of the time. Perhaps he wants to leave and this would give him a way out. I also think its strange that the media is trying to make Obama look “center left”. All of this seems fishy to me, so I would take all this with a grain of salt. Everyone in the country except the “Professional Left” whoever that is, knows Barack Obama is a far left liberal.

  • JoeRemi

    -Everyone in the country except the “Professional Left”…knows Barack Obama is a far left liberal.-

    That is incorrect. Only rightwingers think that. There’s not a single liberal on the planet that thinks Barack Obama is far left. Anyone who starts negotiations on health care reform without a peep about single-payer, and coughs up the public option the first time boehnor shows his orange face, is NOT far left. The right wing delusion that Obama is a socialist is insane. They have no idea what a socialist is.
