Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.), a liberal firebrand known for his controversial comments, compared the Tea Party to the Ku Klux Klan in an email to supporters that features a photo of a burning cross. In an interview with the Rev. Al Sharpton, quoted in the fundraising email, Grayson declares that "the Tea Party is no more popular than the Klan." He also charges that the "ultimate Tea Party Republican desire" is to "bring about the End of Days." The comments were blasted to Grayson's supporters in a Monday email that also features a picture of a burning cross, with two KKK members in the background, forming the first letter T of the words "Tea Party." The KKK is known to burn crosses near communities they hope to intimidate/Alexander Jaffe, The Hill. More here. (AP photo)
