Wilson: I Spoke To White House, "Certainly Agree" With Having Civil Discussion

so he's using his outlandish behavior as an opportunity to further mischaracterize(lie) about what is offered in the reform.

These people have no shame.

Beware! Google searches for Rob Miller (Wilson's opponent) will turn up multiple bogus malware sites. Use actblue or navigate through the SC Democratic Party's website. Or just go to RobMillerforCongress.com, which will take you to actblue anyway.

Unfortunately, anybody wanting to have substantive discussions with Republicans on *any* matter will end up disappointed, as the Republicans cannot argue any issue in good faith. Everything, and I do mean *everything* will be viewed through an ideological lens, and if not wingnut-Conservative or Republican, will be attacked or ignored as inconvenient.

"Well I, uh, last night heard from the leadership that they, uh, wanted me to contact the White House, uh, and state that, uh, my, uh, statements, uh, were inappropriate, and uh, that I, uh, was wrong in calling President Obama a liar, because, uh, the healthcare bill, uh, does not provide coverage to uh, illegal aliens, and uh, by the way, uh, I was also lying about death panels, uh, they don't exist, uh. But I still disagree with, uh, President Obama, uh, because I'm a dumb fuck. Uh-huh."

He broke the "your not supposed to let them see you sweat" rule. What a sheepish looking punk.
Good luck shaking this one off.

Any minute now I expect Wilson's campaign to publish figures on donations HE got since his obscene outburst, and then there will be the obligatory calculation of "Who got more?"

But what no one will be able to put a number to is the amount of goodwill generated for Miller compliments of Joe Wilson and the GOP. Gotta think that number's fairly high, though. I hope Miller sends him a thank-you note and doesn't become a Blue Dog.

"I did, I'm very grateful that the White House, in talking with them, uh, they indicated that they appreciated the call and that we needed to have a civil discussion about the health care issues"........

And I will have a civil discussion with these mother f***ers as soon as they stop giving health care to illegal immigrants.

The revelations today that Wilson is having financial difficulties provides at least part of the reason why he was tapped by the GOP leadership to heckle the President last night. This will spike his fundraising. Of course it will do so for his opponent as well, but clearly this is a gamble Wilson was willing to take and it's a brilliant move. Already Rush Limbaugh is coming to his defense, imagine how much money that will translate into for Joe.

Given South Carolina's conservative bent, Wilson has a built-in advantage over his opponent and this will galvanize his supporters. Even though he narrowly won last time, he'll win by a larger margin in 2010 because of his outburst last night, which was part of the plan all along. Very Machiavellian move.
