Alan Grayson should pay for his slanderous attack

Patriots, I am boiling mad. Certain things should make you angry; a righteous anger. It does not mean I am out of control. The Good Book cautions, “be angry, but sin not.”

Democrat Congressman Alan Grayson is a despicable human being. This evil vile man sent out a fund-raising email purposely designed to gin-up racial hatred against millions of Americans which could easily lead to violence.

Grayson’s email said the Tea Party is the same as the KKK and featured a burning cross at a Klan rally to represent the “T” in Tea Party.

Since the beginning of Obama’s presidency, his administration, with mainstream media support, have used his skin color as a weapon to bludgeon into submission those who oppose any of his progressive agenda. The unfortunate result has been unprecedented national racial polarization; black youth flash mobs attacking whites at a state fair and other public events.

Obama stirred the pot of racial hate when he said if he had a son, he would look like Trayvon. The not guilty verdict in the Zimmerman trial sparked violence against whites.

Grayson declaring that the Tea Party is analogous to the KKK is pretty close to declaring open season on white tea party attendees and the traitorous blacks who attend.

I regard making such an irresponsible over-the-top outrageous highly charged false proclamation to be as criminal as yelling fire in a crowded auditorium. In essence, Grayson has burned a virtual cross on the lawn of America, threatening black and white members of the Tea Party; surrender to Obama’s agenda or we are coming to get you.

I am a black conservative who sought to stop Obama upon hearing him vow to fundamentally transform America and told Joe the Plumber that he wanted to spread the wealth around. I knew Obama was wrong for my country.

At more than 400 Tea Party rallies over the past five years, I have sung, spoke, labored, and shed a few tears with millions of Tea Party activists; remarkable, decent hard working Americans who cared enough to get up off of their sofas and invest time, energy, and funds to save their country. Grayson’s horrific lie about them is infuriating, like dissing my family.

Yes, I do consider the Tea Party my family; brothers and sisters committed to turning America around on the road to destruction, back to the vision of our Founding Fathers.

Allow me to share a few family moments.

My first time on stage at a tea party rally was in Florida. Before singing my original “Tea Party Anthem,” I proclaimed, Hello my fellow Americans. I am NOT an African-American. I am Lloyd Marcus…AMERICAN!” The audience erupted with cheers and applause.

Tearful attendees thanked me. They felt hyphenating divides us as Americans. Do these folks sound like KKK members?

At a Tea Party rally in Michigan, a wheelchair-bound white woman yelled, Oh my gosh, there is Lloyd Marcus! I read your columns and play your music. May I have a picture and autograph? Of course, I humored her. Her daughter confided in a staffer, My mom is dying. She said all she wanted to do was to meet Lloyd Marcus. Does this woman sound like a KKK member?

At a Texas Tea Party rally, I was approached by a white tall thin central-casting looking cowboy pushing a double stroller with two black babies. He and his wife had recently adopted the babies from Africa, excited for them to become U.S. citizens. We asked God to give us children who need our love.” Is this the sort of couple that would don hoods and burn crosses?

While Claire McCaskill and a few other Democrats have condemned Grayson’s email, push-back from liberals has been tepid at best.

Folks, we can not simply give our typical ho-hum yawning response to Grayson’s insidious hate-provoking and potentially violence-igniting slander.

Passions are high for the Tea Party to file a class action defamation lawsuit against Grayson and the Democratic Party, and use the settlement to fund conservative candidates. That would be sweet.

Congressman Grayson must pay a severe political price. Enough is enough!

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
