Grayson accuses Gov. Palin of conspiracy to assassinate him or something

*
If you thought Andrew Sullivan was the most deranged of the drooling Palin-haters on the left, guess again. U.S. Congressman Alan Grayson, a lunatic from Florida, is so unhinged that he makes Sully seem almost sane by comparison. Grayson, who called Gov. Palin "a wild Alaskan dingbat," is not only bat-guano crazy, he's also an incredibly ignorant person, as he demonstrates by claiming that Gov. Palin has put a contract out on him or something:

“This is the way they are, but despite their best intentions, I’m still alive,” he told Schultz. Grayson accused Sarah Palin of coming down from “Sasquatch, Alaska” and telling Florida Tea Party “zombie minions to take me out, like she was trying to shoot a moose from a helicopter,” saying it was typical of conservative[s] to behave this way. He also compared the seriousness of the death threats to “John Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Malcolm X,” and “John Lennon.”

Just for kicks, let’s check Grayson’s “right wingers are going to take me out just like JFK, RFK, MLK, John Lennon and Malcolm X” thing.

JFK was killed by a communist; RFK was killed by a Palestinian occultist; Malcolm X was killed by another black Muslim; and John Lennon was killed by a coked-out “Catcher in the Rye” worshipping kook who heard voices in his head — the latter being a quality with which Grayson can almost certainly empathize. Martin Luther King’s assassin, James Earl Ray, was a supporter of Democrat George Wallace. If Alan Grayson was going for a “Tea Party” comparison, it was an epic fail.

Here's the kicker: This clown has a Harvard education, graduating summa cum laude in three years and going on to get a law degree. Just a wild guess, but we're doubting that modern American history was his best subject.
