The Top 10 political quotes of 2010

5. Alan Grayson: ‘Taliban Dan’

AP/File

An ad for Florida Rep. Alan Grayson (D) – labeled as one of the election’s nastiest – called his Republican opponent Daniel Webster, “Taliban Dan.” The ad portrayed Mr. Webster as a religious fanatic comparable to the Taliban, using a quote from Webster that suggested he thought wives should submit to their husbands.

Although Webster holds conservative views, Factcheck.org stated that the quotes in the ad were taken out of context. Webster won the election.
