Rep. Joe Wilson's outburst last week is drawing new recriminations on the House floor, with a member of the Congressional Black Caucus suggesting that a failure to rebuke Wilson is tantamount to supporting the most blatant form of organized racism in American history.
In an obvious reference to the KKK, Rep. Hank Johnson, D-Ga., said Tuesday that people will put on "white hoods and ride through the countryside" if emerging racist attitudes, which he says were subtly supported by Wilson, are not rebuked. He said Wilson must be disciplined as an example.
~~
The punishment is expected take the form of a "resolution of disapproval," which is a milder version of other more traditional means of congressional discipline. Wilson can avoid the rap on the wrists by apologizing to his colleagues on the House floor, but Wilson -- who already apologized directly to the White House -- has said that's not going to happen.
~~~~~
...condemned by colleagues on both sides of the aisle for breaching protocol, some have gone a step further and accused Wilson of being racially motivated.
Johnson seemed to reference the protests held in Washington, D.C., on Saturday in making his claim. While many protesters were there to demonstrate against big government and federal over-spending, Johnson argued that a "fringe" element is motivated by race and that Wilson's behavior is a "wink" to that fringe.
~~~ "I've been loath to admit that the shrieking lunacy of the summer ... had much to do with race," she wrote. "But Wilson's shocking disrespect for the office of the president -- no Democrat ever shouted 'liar' at W. when he was hawking a fake case for war in Iraq -- convinced me: Some people just can't believe a black man is president and will never accept it."

Good God Almighty.
Idiot!
The little boys cry wolf too often.
joe really should be yelling that he is being persecuted for political beliefs.
What an IDIOT. Somebody should remind this buffoon that he is living proof that a mind is a terrible thing to waste.
Then, then pimps, whores, tax cheats and killers will run rampant in our country if every Acorn employee is not tried and put in prison.
black on white racism
Why does it seem that since the election we are hearing MORE about racism, not less? I thought we were now post racial.
New definition for racism = “Failure to recognize superiority of black people”
Calling a liar a liar is racist now. Got it.
I have now seen it all. What a stupid, stupid remark. In fact, maybe Congress should rebuke him.
AND WHY IS IT ALWAYS ABOUT RACE? The ultimate deflection.
Is THAT the only card in the DECK???
It’s oddly comforting to know that the Democrats are still the kook fringe element of American politics.
Deeply troubling, though, to realize they are currently in charge.
I’m expecting a change in the latter, if not the former, next November.
I thought Robert Byrd was too ill to ride with his robes on.
I thought (mistakenly) that such eloquence could only come from a genius like Major Owens.
Actually, he’s being persecuted just for being white.
That automatically means he is a racist.
This is all a distraction to give the MSM a story to cover so they can ignore ACORN.
Boy! That says it all!
What’s with these people? Can’t call someone a liar without them going crazy? Have they ever called someone a liar? Whether Obama was lying or not, his statement was inaccurate.
You know, he just might join Cousin Ted...and tip the scales even farther...towards a hold off.
White Burkas.
Fair is fair, if black sacks for wimmen are OK, then white sacks for whitey should be too!
Sorry, Obama-hole. We aren’t buying the racist cr*p any more.
Obama’s a loon because he’s a LOON -as in stupid. I’m not buying his facade any more. We know how he got those degrees, and we know how he got to be the editor of Harvard Law Review without ever publishing anything. It wasn’t because of talent.
And we’re not accepting that bunch of bull-Obama any more.
Oops, we ain’t acceptin’ it no mo’.
i have gotten to the point where the word racist has no meaning whatsoever to me...call me a racist, and i will proudly admit it...does not matter anymore
It always worked in the past...
That is a great big pile of jackass manure. Democrats left and further left called W a liar every chance they got. As far as shouting him down in the august setting of the joint session of congress, the democrats booed loudly and shouted "no, no, no," when W tried to explain the precarious state of the social security system and the need to reform it sooner rather than later. This idiot is either an ignorant moron or a bald-face LIAR.
“white hoods and ride through the countryside”
More gas for the racial fire.
When a race war breaks out, look out below.
The Kenyan Impostor has dropped his mask. America buys more ammo.
Wilson should tell them to pound sand,right on the floor of the house.
All blacks are victims of white racist oppressors. All whites are racist oppressors. Therefore, any white who opposes any black at any time, for any reason is a racist. Blacks cannot ever be racists because they are victims of whites. A white who fails to admit to being a racist is simply proving his racism.
0bama’s regime is at least a generational setback for race relations in America, and he’s not doing a thing to cause it.
It’ the entourage of fellow travellers and hangers-on.
It's beyond belief. This is seriously scary. I hate to think there even is a KKK in America. Why is Johnson stirring the pot? Why do people think this kind of attack will win people over? It's sick.
The Congressional Black Caucus is RACIST and they booed President Bush!
And some people cannot believe a black man can be a liar, or that a white person can point it out. Black people must be protected from being treated like white people. Kind of like affirmative action, really. And kind of like treating them the way women, children, mental defectives and slaves were treated 150 years ago.
WHAT ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT. HAS BOBBIE BYRD RECOVERED ENOUGH TO RESUME HIS KKK RECRUITMENT POSITION?????
|
He’s not too far off in concept.
This country, or at least half of it,
is on the verge of rising up and
verbally and politically POUNDING
these “racers” into oblivion.
We’re sht full of it. Had enough.
I fear, that some, good, decent, white people, who truly want black Americans to do well, and who try to judge all people not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character, are going to become embittered by this unending, hurtful, barrage of false accusations of “racism” from the left.
The behavior of the Democrat party and many members of the MSM has been disgraceful. They are either trying to flame racial hatred, or so desperately want to push their Socialist agenda, that they don't care if they do.
For a Racer, EVERYTHING is about race.
The idiots are getting hysterical. Maybe they are trying to trigger an exploitable event.
We always MADE it work by being cowards about it.
NO MORE.
Time to “untrain” them.
YEEEESSSS
What does Bobbie Byrd Dumocrat have to sy about the preceived KKK activity??????
What an idiot. I don't doubt that some people are racist, but they have been that way their whole lives. Wilson is not going to make new ones, and giving him some kind of symbolic slap on the wrist is not going to change a racist's mind.
“...with a member of the Congressional Black Caucus suggesting that a failure to rebuke Wilson is tantamount to supporting the most blatant form of organized racism in American history.”
Let’s make a stand, and tell them all each and every time they play the race card to shove it where the Sun don’t shine, hang it in their ear, etc.
Let’s not allow them to play that card with us anymore.
Obama lied. THEY KNOW IT, therefore their accusation of racism is a lie as well. THEY ARE LYING.
It’s always about race because Democrats need a plausible victim class and to them, black people are the plausible group. It’s reverse scapegoating. These people are always innocent and can be used to clobber the heads of the offenders of Democrats. Ultimate purpose: power, tyranny.
The people donning the white hoods this time would be black, though...
What Rep. Hank Johnson, D-Ga., conveniently ignores either because he is ignorant or just a liar is that the KKK was a “DEMOCRAT” organization. Just as Sen. Byrd (D-WV) who is actual member of the KKK that the Democrat party never saw fit to rebuke or remove.
I suggest that Hank Johnson pick up a history book and do some reading.
Yeah...it’ll be the DEMOCRATS donning the white hoods....just like they did in the 30’s and 40’s.....IDIOT. DEMOCRATS are the RACISTS....but, you can TRY to perpetuate the lie.....
