Dem Rep. Sends Fundraising Email with Burning Cross Photo, Compares Tea Party to KKK

Continuing his streak of comparing the tea party movement to the Klu Klux Klan, Democratic Rep. Alan Grayson sent out a fundraising email featuring a photo of a burning cross along with a transcript of his MSNBC appearance in which he claimed the conservative-based movement is “no more popular than the Klan.”

Below is a screenshot of the email sent out last night:

The word “tea party” was added, via photoshop, to the burning cross image (using Comic Sans font, no less).
