Alan Grayson Apology Demanded by FreedomWorks After Comparing Tea Party to KKK

Responding to U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson, D-Fla., comparing the tea party to the Klu Klux Klan, conservative group FreedomWorks is gathering petitions demanding the congressman apologize.

Florida Democrat and arch-progressive Alan Grayson compared the tea party to the Klu Klux Klan, FreedomWorks wrote in their call for signatures. He even used a picture of a burning cross as the T in tea party in an email fundraiser. This is outrageous. He must apologize!

Grayson is mad that tea partiers fought hard to dismantle Obamacare -- a law a majority of Americans oppose, FreedomWorks continued. Obamas health care takeover has been a job destroyer and a disaster for millions of Americans. The website is a mess and the government call centers are no better. Worst of all, hard-working Americans are being kicked off their health insurance plans despite Obamas promise that they could keep their coverage.

Progressives cant win on the issues, FreedomWorks concluded. Grayson is too scared to defend the Obamacare disaster, so hes attacking regular, hard-working Americans. He needs to apologize for his disgusting and loathsome e-mail.

As of 1:45 pm on Wednesday, FreedomWorks had gathered more than 3,150 signatures on the petitions.
