Freshman Grayson called Sessions, a Texas congressman, "crazy, "a lunatic," "demented," and "paranoid" in a fundraising e-mail to supporters.
Grayson attacked Sessions for stating that President Obama wishes to "inflict damage and hardship on the free enterprise system" and for the national party's attempts to blame Grayson personally for the national debt.
"Join us -- show Pete Sessions that he can take his 30 pieces of silver attacking Alan Grayson, and shove it," Grayson wrote.
Grayson's Orlando-area district is a top prospect for the state GOP organization and has been frequently targeted by the national committee.
Much of Grayson's 2008 campaign was self-financed.
Grayson toppled incumbent Republican Rep. Ric Keller last fall and Republicans are eager to take back the seat. State Rep. Stephen L. Precourt, former state Sen. Daniel Webster, and Orange County Mayor Richard Crotty continue to be discussed as possible GOP challengers for 2010.
