Rep Grayson (D-FL) calls a woman a "K Street Wh0re" Obama says he's outstanding!

Wow... you really are quite the hypocrite aren't you? It's racist and sexist to make a joke about sending vacuum cleaners to Sotomayor's women's club, but calling a woman a "K Street Wh0re" is the act of an outstanding congressman. We need to condemn and "admonish" a man for stating that Obama lied, when the fact is that he did, yet you can see no reason to condemn a man who called a woman a wh0re.

"he's not a seasoned politician, so he's going to word things in ways that aren't quite "politically correct" now and then. I LIKE that kind of realness in a person."

I'll keep that in mind. You LIKE it in a politician when he calls a woman a wh0re. That's realness alright. He's a real scumbag, but that's just fine because he has the letter D after his name.

The funny thing is that on several occasions I have seen it said that if a public figure knows their words could be taken the wrong way or have other meanings then they shouldn't say them. I guess that only applies when the left takes exception to some innocent thing said by someone on the right and then makes a big media moment out of it, demanding apologies. But this is twice now that you've stood up for liberal men saying really disgusting things about women, Annie, and I just don't see you vehemently defending anyone on the right who isn't "seasoned" or who chose the wrong words without malice. Standards are standards - once you start making excuses for some you destroy the standard for all.

If we want to take his meaning and apply it to himself, then Grayson is a media wh0re, saying stupid, unfounded and outrageous things to get himself in the limelight. He says what he says simply to be outrageous, something you don't think Rush Limbaugh ought to do. Grayson is out to make sure people remember his name and he'll say any nasty thing to accomplish that goal. He's passionate alright, he's passionate about being famous.

Wow, your actually defending this annie?
"Hey, I've been called a wh0re right here on myLot "
ANY TIME this happens, you either hit the "report abuse" icon, or you come directly to me and I will you that guaranty action will be taken on it...totaly serious about that....
But DO NOT defend this disgusting, sexist oaf.

make that... "I will guaranty you"

"Wow... you really are quite the hypocrite aren't you?"
No, actually I'm not a hypocrite but thanks for at least asking.

"It's racist and sexist to make a joke about sending vacuum cleaners to Sotomayor's women's club..."
In MY OPINION and given the history of the "man" who said that, yes it is...

"...but calling a woman a "K Street Wh0re" is the act of an outstanding congressman."
Given the context of what he was talking about and the way the word "wh0re" is used these days, that could have been said about a man in the same line of work. I already said his choice of words was wrong and he should apologize and explain. Saying that is NOT what makes him an outstanding Congressman in my view but it doesn't mean that he isn't either. If he went around calling women or men nasty names that would be a different story!

"We need to condemn and "admonish" a man for stating that Obama lied, when the fact is that he did, yet you can see no reason to condemn a man who called a woman a wh0re."
I guess that depends on how you define "condemn" in this instance but "admonish" to be sure! The "fact" is NOT that Obama lied and it was also about the time and place in which he had his outburst. There you go again implying that Grayson simply called some random innocent woman a wh0re in the traditional sense of the word!

"he's not a seasoned politician, so he's going to word things in ways that aren't quite "politically correct" now and then. I LIKE that kind of realness in a person."
I stand by those words. He's not polished and scripted, he says what's on his mind. When someone does that they're bound to say the wrong thing now and then. We all do now and then, I'll bet even you, Taskr!

"I'll keep that in mind. You LIKE it in a politician when he calls a woman a wh0re. That's realness alright. He's a real scumbag, but that's just fine because he has the letter D after his name."
Talk about misrepresenting the facts AGAIN!! Believe me, I'd say the same thing if he had an R or an I or any other letter after his name. Of course he's a scumbag to you, he dares to have a view other than yours.

Annie

"that could have been said about a man in the same line of work"

He didn't say it about a man Annie, he said it about a woman. Do you think it would be the same if someone used the racial slur n----- against a white man as opposed to a black man?

"There you go again implying that Grayson simply called some random innocent woman a wh0re in the traditional sense of the word!"

Does it matter who he called a wh0re Annie? Please, tell me how this woman deserved it more than a "random innocent woman".

"When someone does that they're bound to say the wrong thing now and then. We all do now and then, I'll bet even you, Taskr!"

But I don't go around calling women wh0res Annie, nor am I an elected official making 200K of taxpayer dollars each year.

"Believe me, I'd say the same thing if he had an R or an I or any other letter after his name."

Show me the last time you defended a republican saying something like that about a woman.

"Of course he's a scumbag to you, he dares to have a view other than yours."

You are SO right! I have this absurd view that it's wrong to call a woman a wh0re just because you disagree with her politically. Apparently you either share his view. I guess I shouldn't be surprised since you also think it's ok to make jokes about helping terrorists kill the president. It amazes me when I see the people you want in office.

I'll say again that it was wrong for him to call her a "wh0re" but, if we shot every male who ever called a woman that name, how many men would we have left? How many of you would still be standing? Just curious. Again, NOT that does NOT make it okay, but ONE ACT or comment does NOT define who a person IS.

I'll second that!

The biggest problem is not simply that these morons are in office, but they get reelected and defended by people who think such behavior is perfectly acceptable if they have the right letter next to their name. Odds are this guy will be booted out shortly anyway. He's a first term congressman and has done nothing but make an a$$ of himself since his term started. Florida's not left wing enough to tolerate that kind of garbage.

I haven't even really looked in to it too much to tell ya the truth, but it does look like a pretty inapropriate comment for a rep to make, though I do fully understand the context in which it was made.
I have to say though, that I was suprised to find Grayson on Alex Jones' show. I am in agreament with his sentiments on the FED and believe as he does that the FED should not only be audited, but I take it further as Jones does and think it should be abolished.
Grayson really should be watching his arse though, he is a looses cannon and is only harming the Democrats. he hasn't even been a rep long enough to get away with it and it isn't going to take long for his party to see him as a liability.

Here's some context for you X. Notice that this coward didn't even have the guts to talk to NBC, a pro-Obama network when asked for an interview.

Yeh, he has declined interviews on anything but friendly territory, but I am amazed he would consider Jones to be friendly territry.

Oh really? Go on and show me what the republicans in congress have called Obama that's worse than calling a woman a K street wh0re.

Conservatives and Republicans have called Obama, a socialist, said he has Nazi like tendencies. They have changed pictures of the president to give him Hitler like atrributes. Jowe Wilson disrespected him on the floor of the congress.
If people care about America and the constitution they would not try to descecrate the office of the president just because their preferred candidate did not win. obama was elected by the people of America. He is representative of a true cross section of America.
Rep. Grayson should apologize for calling a woman a K street wh@#& because personal attacks against an indivual should not be permitted but to say the Republicans policy is Die quickly on Health Care, that is fair game.

There's a difference between elected officials and regular people. That's first.

But you are right about Joe Wilson disrespecting Obama.

For that, he immediately apologized.

Grayson makes this comment, he eventually apologizes.

Okay, so we have enough, right? They both apologized.

No! Now we get into the double standard.

With Wilson, a man DARING to show disrespect to the president, he was blasted by the media. He was forced to apologize again. He was shamed in publications across the country. All of this happened after he apologized to the president and the president accepted the apology.

With Grayson, the lion's share of the media shrugs its collective shoulders. There's no pressure for him to make a stand-up apology. He ducks and runs from any and all questions. And unlike Wilson, who blurted out "you lie" in the heat of the moment, Grayson makes this obnoxious behavior a habit.

So where's the same standard for the left policitician as the right politician?

That's all most people want. It's not enough to throw blame at the other side. That's bogus, man. These elected officials work for the American people, and if they're dumb enough to stay dumb things, they should ALL be held to the same standards.

How hard is it to say a guy's wrong without pointing the finger and making excuses?

K Street is located in Washington DC and runs right through the center of it. Grayson is a first term congressman who likes making ridiculous comments like saying the Republicans want people to die quickly. Still, that doesn't come close to calling a woman a wh0re and I'm disgusted by the fact that Obama not only failed to condemn his statements, but praised the jerk. Clearly there are democrats who didn't hesitate to condemn his disgusting insult to this woman, but the those in leadership positions ignored or praised him after this statement.
