Aside from the amusing but ultimately pointless fascination with the pathetic Joe Wilson incident, reporters generally seem to be missing the 800-pound gorilla in the briefing room, namely, that Congressman Wilson and his entire family are beneficiaries of SOCIALIST MEDICINE and furthermore that he has voted against improving services for VETERANS while protecting his own sweet deal. Review all the seamy details here.
Repugnant, disgusting, nasty, selfish and vile. Oh, and did I mention that he entered politics by working for Strom Thurmond, proud standard-bearer of the segregationist Dixiecrat party? [see the post just below for musings on the link between opposition to health care reform and old-fashioned racism]
Let us also recall that Wilson’s outburst came in response to a promise not to include the current bad guys, ‘illegal immigrants’, from any benefits. Perish the thought that Wilson’s cozy, state-funded, free health service should be in any way shared with South Carolina’s current quasi-slave class, the Mexicans.
I recently spent some time in Wilson’s district, which includes Hilton Head Island. There, the new gated communities are called ‘plantations’. Trust me, I’m not making it up.
