Grayson Compares Tea Party/KKK for Third Time This Week
"The home of discrimination and bigotry in our country and our political system is the Tea Party."
10.25.2013 |Paul Bois
Martin Bashir, only slightly improved from his previous report on this subject, went head-to-head with Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) Friday afternoon over the Congressman's controversial fundraising ad, equating tea partiers with the KKK.
Martin Bashir:
“We have some sympathy for your analysis, given that over the last five years, we have witnessed plenty of instances of racial hatred toward the President, whether it's the revolting Rush Limbaugh, the imbecile Sarah Palin, or Tea Party supporters spewing their hate at various rallies, but I have to ask you, how can you possibly compare racist epithets with racist actions of the KKK, which actually led to racist murders?
Rep. Alan Grayson:
“Well, today Martin the home of discrimination and bigotry in our country and our political system is the Tea Party. In the same way that the home of bigotry and discrimination generations ago was the Ku Klux Klan. I'm pleased that we haven't gone so far as to see those murders, but the analogy holds to that degree. In fact, we saw it on your show last week when Larry Klayman exhibited gross racism. We saw it last week when a Confederate Flag was waived in front of the White House by Tea Party fanatics.
The conversation heated up when Bashir later asked Grayson if it "may have been an inappropriate analogy".
Rep. Alan Grayson:
“No, and I'll tell you why, because the modern-day torch bearers for the Civil-Rights movement -- the NAACP -- three years ago, implored the Tea Party to remove the racists from their midst and they failed to do so and two years ago, another African-American Congressman said specifically, you and me, they would like us hanged from a tree, and yet still, even after that, the racism continues. I think the point is valid, and what needs to be done is for the tea party to expunge the racists from their midst.
Martin Bashir:
“The GOP civil war is due in large part because it cannot prevent and often will not condemn some of its most hateful members from making the most incendiary and discriminatory comments. Don't you yourself thereby debase your own party by arguing on their level?
