Admittedly, this is a tough political ad. But, it's funny, when Republicans attack Democrats and liberals for being un-American, or communists, or socialists, or Marxists or secret Muslims, no one says anything. They are simply not criticized, or the right says it never happened. So, if Rep. Alan Grayson has to get tough with his wingnut opponent by pointing out the similarities between the American religious right and the Taliban, so be it. This is a battle for the future of America, and tough talk is sometimes necessary.
The liberal handwringing over the ad is ridiculous. I expect the right to get angry - they are hypocrites and will simply not see the obvious correlation between what they do and this ad. But for the left to whine about it "going too far"? Grow a fuckin' pair! This is a battle with extremists, and extreme measures sometimes need to be taken.

Grayson is disgusting. I will agree that this is a battle against extremists, though...
Yes, the right wing extremists that have dominated our politics since the early 80s. It's time to get let that crowd go.
Americans voted for change, yet the old conservative status quo refuses to accept the verdict the American people have come to on them.
No sir. The American people were busy trying to live their lives and were bamboozeled into voting for a used-car-salesman/community organizer.
They have realized their mistake and will soon correct it. I wonder is the minority of American progressives will accept the people's will when they vote to restore America and correct their mistake? I am betting not.

You mean the way you righties accepted the largest presidential victory in over 20 years by pretending the winner of election is not really an American citizen? Not sure I will be taking political behavior lessons from the teabaggers and their boorish behavior and contempt for democracy.
