Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) paid a visit to an audience that wouldn’t be a natural venue for a fiery liberal such as himself: A meeting of the local Orange County Republican Executive Committee.

Grayson told the Orlando Sentinel that he was attending a local home-owners association meeting in the same restaurant, and then went over to the Republicans to express his displeasure about a flier promoting a recent infiltration by Republicans of a local pro-Obama group.

“That’s political dirty tricks,” Grayson said. “I went over to find out what their side of the story was, and whether they approved of that.”

In a YouTube video recorded on a GOP attendee’s cell phone camera, Grayson reads from the flier. “‘You’ll wonder how we all could have missed it,'” Grayson says, reciting the contents. “Maybe you could have missed it because it’s the wrong thing to do.”

The GOPers then reply to Grayson by lambasting him for a recent press release in which he attacked the GOP county chairman, alleging that the chairman “couldn’t find his rear end with both hands, unless there was a twenty-dollar bill sticking out of it.” From there, the meeting degenerates into shouting on both sides.
