Rep. Alan Grayson Claims Death Threats Against Him Are As Serious As JFK, MLK, John Lennon
Controversial Rep. Alan Grayson is a little bit worried about his health. After a Media Research Center personality tweeted a request to his followers to punch Grayson in the face (“I just want to let them know that I punch back,” the Congressman replied then), his office received a legitimate death threat, which Grayson compared to some of the most high-profile assassinations in history.
After a very lengthy introduction from MSNBC host Ed Schultz railing against “Brent Bozell‘s joke of a website,” Newsbusters, Grayson appeared on the program to talk about what he sees as a growing trend on the right of having its leaders incite violence against political opponents. “This is the way they are, but despite their best intentions, I’m still alive,” he told Schultz. Grayson accused Sarah Palin of coming down from “Sasquatch, Alaska” and telling Florida Tea Party “zombie minions to take me out, like she was trying to shoot a moose from a helicopter,” saying it was typical of conservative to behave this way. He also compared the seriousness of the death threats to “John Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Malcolm X,” and “John Lennon.”
He was, however, flattered despite it all that the death threat warned of ten people involved in his death. “Do they think I’m Rasputin or somebody?”
