Grayson: My Campaign is like "Ground Zero in Hiroshima"

Near the end of World War II, the United States dropped an atomic bomb on the major Japanese metropolitan city of Hiroshima.  A necessary evil, the United States government believed that by showing the Japanese such a weapon of war that they would surrender.  After dropping a second bomb on Nagasaki, the Japanese did just that: surrender.

100,000 people died in Hiroshima.  However, apparently Democrat Alan Grayson is unaware of that because yesterday he stated that his campaign is "Ground Zero" and that his campaign has seen "destruction that was seen at Ground Zero in Hiroshima."  Mr. Grayson is in an extremely bad need of a history lesson:

I'm sure that I don't need to say this, but conservatives have not killed 100,000 supporters of Alan Grayson.  And I'm also sure that I don't need to mention that Alan Grayson is overly exaggerating his situation, despretly trying to make himself sound important.

Grayson stated that he should be allowed to compare his campaign to Hiroshima because Politico referenced South Florida as "ground zero."  Well, I found the article that Grayson referred to.  While it is true that Politico used the words "ground zero," they were meant in no way to refer to Hiroshima, Nagasaki, or even the hallowed grounds at the World Trade Center.

In fact, the words were used colloquially; they did not refer to any specific event but just a turn of phrase. Grayson just isn't very smart.

Support Grayson's opponent, Daniel Webster!
