(27,835 posts)If you are attempting to defend Grayson, it's not a good idea to raise the subject of video tapes - given that Grayson's campaign in 2010 edited a video of Grayson's opponent in order to make it appear he had said the exact opposite of what he actually said.
"In a new ad, Grayson accuses his Republican opponent Daniel Webster of being a religious fanatic and dubs him "Taliban Dan." But to make his case, Grayson manipulates a video clip to make it appear Webster was commanding wives to submit to their husbands, quoting a passage in the Bible. Four times, the ad shows Webster saying wives should submit to their husbands. In fact, Webster was cautioning husbands to avoid taking that passage as their own. The unedited quote is: "Dont pick the ones [Bible verses] that say, She should submit to me. "
