[...] Joe Wilson’s been made the poster-boy punching bag for GOP incivility, despite the fact that Joe Wilson himself immediately called and apologized to the President for his trespass of decorum; and in spite of the fact that he was correct in the substance of what prompted his outburst. [...]

@moosehole:

The Dems have a history in that regard, up until the Civil Rights Act, without question.

Hmmmm….you should have said “The Dems have a history in that regard, through the Civil Rights Act”.

I’m quite sure that you don’t want to get into a discussion of how that legislation was passed…and who voted overwhelmingly against it.

The facts on that matter are not what you obviously think they are.

Even in the time period since the Civil Rights Act, the record of the Dims hasn’t been stellar on matters of race.

Senator Wilson said. “The Southern heritage, the Confederate heritage is very honourable.”

The decision to fly the Confederate battle flag was made by an all-white legislature in 1962 as the civil rights movement was picking up steam. The bill passed in 2000 didn’t even remove the flag entirely — it called for a different version of flag to be flown in front of the state house instead of on top of it.

The continued presence of a Confederate flag at the state house has caused the controversy to continue. In July 2009, the Atlantic Coast Conference — after discussions with the NAACP — decided to move three future college baseball tournaments out of South Carolina.

Do you routinely copy/paste (steal/plagiarize) the work of other people without attribution or is this just another isolated incident?

As for Joe Wilson, in 2003, he voted to provide federal funds for illegal immigrants’ healthcare. He is a hypocrite, plain and simple.

Nope, not even close.

What Cong. Wilson voted for is for hospitals to receive a small portion of reimbursement for care that they are already mandated to provide to illegals.

I find it rather amusing that people want to point a finger at Rep. Wilson and say that he voted for health care for illegals when just a scintilla of curiosity proves that claim is intellectually dishonest at best.

Not only that, but he and his sons receive a Government run health care called Tricare.

Using the fact that Cong. Wilson and his four sons enjoy health insurance for life courtesy of their employers is the ultimate in hypocrisy on your part.

You bemoan the fact that your daughter is tied to her job because of the health plan while pointing your finger in criticism at five other people who happen to have taken jobs which also offer health care plans.

Your logic has holes the size of Texas and I’m happy to point out both your vapidity as well as your hypocrisy.

You’re welcome.

The point about Joe Wilson is he thrust himself into the spotlight with his own actions, and the truth about his record is just that, the truth. It stands on it’s own merits, whether or not others have done as bad or worse.

Bullwinkle:

You will get no argument from me about the failure of the last admin, and the repubs that held the House/Congress.

It’s why they lost. It’s why the Indies went for O. Because O said he would fix the mistakes Bush made, particularly spending…

Guess the jokes on them. SURPRISE, HE’S HARD-LEFT PROGRESSIVE!!! Ever person I know who grew up in the mold of the Kennedy Democrat is appalled by the actions of this Admin.

Regarding the South….Do you really want me to go there? Shall I go into the Klan, Bird, The Equal Rights Bill, Prez-Wilson’s record? Carter calling Blacks “n****r on a regular basis behind their backs?

Really?

-I REALLY don’t think you do, because the most racist Party ever in this country were the Democrats, and if all you have is one item with a flag, from 9 years ago, you are starting out in a weak position. But I’m ready with page after page of evidence.

Watching the MSM run cover for the Lier In Chief is borderline comical, if it wasn’t so pathetic.

Patvann: It’s too bad that Republicans governed poorly and lost the ability to enact their agenda at the hands of the voters.

It’s too bad that Republicans didn’t address those issues while they had the power to do so.

It’s too bad that if Republicans had spent 1/10th the amount of energy and passion trying to fix these problems while they were in power that they are now spending opposing it, that they could have taken this issue away from the Democrats and had a result that they could live with.

BTW, my reference to Wilson’s being wrapped in the Confederate Flag was not a racist taunt as mentioned above, it is a matter of record:

Senator Wilson said. “The Southern heritage, the Confederate heritage is very honourable.”

The decision to fly the Confederate battle flag was made by an all-white legislature in 1962 as the civil rights movement was picking up steam. The bill passed in 2000 didn’t even remove the flag entirely — it called for a different version of flag to be flown in front of the state house instead of on top of it.

The continued presence of a Confederate flag at the state house has caused the controversy to continue. In July 2009, the Atlantic Coast Conference — after discussions with the NAACP — decided to move three future college baseball tournaments out of South Carolina.

and here is another opinion about Wilson;

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/13/opinion/13dowd.html

He was one of only 7 State senators to vote to keep the Confederate flag flying high over the Statehouse. These are facts. This is the guy Republicans want to be seen as a strong representative of their party and values? This is the face of the Republican Party?
