Rep. Alan Grayson has been getting nasty emails lately. He’s been called a "Jew-boy" and also a "German Nazi." One person said he was "lower than whale dung" while another writer went with "lower than snail<\/em> scum<\/em>." And of course he was told to burn in hell.<\/p>\n He’s not altogether surprised. He knows this is what happens when you head butt a hornets’ nest, as he did earlier this month by sending out an email equating the tea party to the Ku Klux Klan. The email\u00e2\u20ac\u201dcomplete with a donate button at the bottom\u00e2\u20ac\u201dincluded a picture of a burning cross as the "T" in "tea party."<\/p>\n And it wasn’t just Internet trolls or even just the right that got riled up. Missouri Democrat Sen. Claire McCaskill condemned the email, head of the Democratic National Committee Rep. Debbie Wasserman Shultz said she was "disappointed" by it, and no Democrats in Congress have said publicly\u00c2\u00a0they support the rhetoric or imagery.<\/p>\n via Homepage http:\/\/www.nationaljournal.com\/congress\/why-the-left-sucks-at-trolling-20131104<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Rep.
