 The text of the email is an excerpt from an interview Grayson did with the Rev. Al Sharpton, in which he draws the tea party-KKK comparison. 
  
 “At this point, the tea party is no more popular than the Klan,” Grayson says in the interview. 
  
 The email praises Grayson’s bluntness and urges supporters to donate to his campaign. 
  
 “Congressman Alan Grayson deserves your support, like no one else,” the email says. “He, and only he, is saying the things that you are thinking, and so much need to be said.” 
  
 Matt Gorman, rapid response director for the National Republican Congressional Committee, denounced Grayson’s fundraising tactics. 
  
 “There’s no excuse for the hateful words and imagery used by Congressman Grayson,” he said in a statement. “House Democrats should swiftly and strongly condemn him and return the money he has raised for them. This hate-filled rhetoric has Americans fed up with Washington.” 
  
 Grayson defended the email in a statement Tuesday afternoon, saying the tea party has long used racist and insensitive terms and imagery to refer to African Americans, President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama, and gays. 
  
 “[T]here is overwhelming evidence that the Tea Party is the home of bigotry and discrimination in America today, just as the KKK was for an earlier generation,” Grayson said. “If the shoe fits, wear it.” ||||| Representative Alan Grayson (D-Fl.) sent the following e-mail to his supporters yesterday.

 In the e-mail, Grayson explains that the Republican party, which is “the largest suicide pact in history,” is intent on bringing “about the End of Days as quickly as possible.” The Tea Party, Grayson added, “is no more popular than the Klan.” To illustrate the latter point, he included a picture of a burning crosss that looks like a T, and added ”ea Party” onto the end for good measure.

Democratic Rep. Alan Grayson has been relatively uncontroversial for at least five minutes now, so this week became time to discuss his distaste for the Tea Party in an email to supporters: The movement, he says in a transcribed interview with Al Sharpton, "is no more popular than the Klan." The email is illustrated with a burning cross that acts as the "T" in "Tea Party." Clicking on the image brings readers to a Grayson fundraising page, Politico notes. As for the GOP, Grayson calls it "the largest suicide pact in history" that intends to "bring about the End of Days as quickly as possible," the National Review reports. "Congressman Alan Grayson deserves your support, like no one else,” the email reads. “He, and only he, is saying the things that you are thinking, and so much need to be said." Retorts an NRCC rep: "There’s no excuse for the hateful words and imagery used by Congressman Grayson. House Democrats should swiftly and strongly condemn him and return the money he has raised for them. This hate-filled rhetoric has Americans fed up with Washington."
