Rep. Joe Wilson's outburst last week is drawing new recriminations from his colleagues, with a member of the Congressional Black Caucus suggesting that a failure to rebuke the South Carolina Republican is tantamount to supporting the most blatant form of organized racism in American history. In an obvious reference to the Ku Klux Klan, Rep. Hank Johnson, D-Ga., said Tuesday that people will be putting on "white hoods and white uniforms again and riding 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 charged comments come as the House is preparing to take further action against Wilson. House Democratic leaders decided to formally discipline him Tuesday afternoon for jeering President Obama during last week's joint session of Congress. Wilson bellowed "You lie!" as Obama delivered his address. The punishment will take the form of a "resolution of disapproval," which is a milder version of other more traditional means of congressional discipline. The language in the resolution, released Tuesday afternoon, says Wilson's conduct was a "breach of decorum and degraded the proceedings of the joint session, to the discredit of the House."

You know what the worst part of this is? If Wilson is disciplined, Johnson will take credit for stopping a rise in Klan activity.
Whoever said this needs a white jacket - with long arms that tie in the back.
The racist CBC has a collective IQ with brackets around the number
It’s so stupid, I can’t believe it!
Fantastic.
Democrats are adept at destroying their support among indies and moderates.
Good for them..
who is the racist????
If I was Wilson, I would tell the Democrats and Republicans, I told the truth that night and if you don’t like it, You can kiss my royal ass.”
I think this deserves more of a MEGA IDIOT ALERT!
I think I’ll put on a white hood just to piss off these black racists!
FYI Rep. Hank Johnson... those were Democrats in those white hoods!
To nullify the racism argument
* Express your differences with the President while taunting him with Oreo cookies; thus your opposition to his policies and positions will be noticed once the MSM see that, like them, you are not racist.
* Limit signs to things like "Barack Oreo," "Tyrants are white on the inside too," "House N*****" or the classic "traitor to your race" message.
Typical liberals; continually surpass the most ridiculous statements ever made my mankind. Just like MSNBC declaring that socialism is the new N-word. Just pathetic.
The Democrats formed the KKK after the Civil War to retain power. They executed white opposition leaders to retain their power.
Why would Democrats want to bring back their KKK, unless they intend to string up Wilson.
I agree....A mega idiot gets a mega barf alert!
“Do these brain dead morons actually get to speak?”
Sho ‘nuff do! De gets to vote, too. /ebonics
It is just a case of a black racist stirring the pot of black resentment of whites.
Nothing new here.
If I remember correctly, the average Klansman was a Democrat!
The race card is the last card.....It won’t stick either.
Now, THAT'S racist/sarc
“Congressman Suggests People Will Don ‘White Hoods’ If Wilson Not Rebuked”
I can hardly wait for the 2010 elections. It is time to purge these criminals out of Congress.
Only someone really morally corrupt would try to divide the people of this country by making such an insane comment. They know if they divide us they will conquer us and destroy this country.
Let’s roll...and take this country back...
Well, Hank, you might ask Senator Byrd (D) what that organization was like. But in fact, the Klan is back and has been for some time. The only thing that has changed is the color of the skin under the hoods and sheets. Ask Mr. Farrakhan or Rev. Wright how his fit.
Congress in general and democrats in particular owe the country an apology for running it into the ground, for turning people against each other, and for making the U.S look petty, childish and stupid to everyone else around the world.
Asinine remark.
Right - and join with KKK Byrd .....
They are really turning up the heat—are they hoping to incite riots or something? Or do they think they are going to girl-slap us down with this worn out bait?
It has reached a new level of absurd.
Dag nabbit, I just sent mine to the dry cleaner. I leave communion wine stains to the professionals.
Hoodies—warn by thugs and imitators—are the new white hoods. We need something new and different!
I prefer a black hood just to confuse the blank out of everybody!
Why is this not condemned and rebuked?? This is an insult to all of Obama’s political opponents but that’s okay. But if the Messiah is disrespected, all heaven and hell is brought to bear.
Yes really stupid comments by the left. I guess it is OK for the comparison of brown shirts the OFA organization and Acorn too. Fair is fair. Obama is Hitler comparisons.
Yeah, that must be right. The people in the white hoods must be causing all of the race issues. I getcha now.
Is that why Serena, Kanye, the bus beating, the beating over the $20 bill, etc. are all being caused by blacks? Is that why most of our crime is caused by blacks? Is that why the people calling 911 because of a fast food order are black? I don’t believe I’ve heard of any of these things being done by anyone in a white hood yet.
I don’t consider myself racist, but I’m not afraid about the guy in the white hood because I know he won’t attack anybody. I’m only worried about the blacks because they seem to think they can violate the law at-will and do anything they want now that Obummers in office.
Me too. if I am going to be accused of being a racist, then I might as well be a racist.
A beating of a white boy on the Congressional bus. Happy with your dims, America?
Yep!
He is, sadly, my CongressCritter, and isn’t much better than Cynthia McKinney who used to be my CongressCritter. He’s in a “safe” seat, and knows it. Anyway, I told his office (among other comments) that this race-baiting is 1000X worse than what Rep. Wilson said. But I’m sure my comments fell on def ears.
Johnson’s remark is a manifestation of lynch-mob thinking at work. The assertions will get more and more hysterical - will build on themselves - this is just the beginning.
So, if you love the government owning auto makers and banks and insurance companies and you want them to run health care and give billions to ACORN and run up trillions in deficits, you are a patriotic American! If you don't, you are a racist.
They are the useful idiots driving wedges with hyperbole that divide the population into exactly the kind of binary, controllable herd we have become to the incumbent DC political class.
Mega ditto’s!

“Rep. Hank Johnson, D-Ga., said Tuesday that people will be putting on “white hoods and white uniforms again and riding through the countryside” if emerging racist attitudes, which he says were subtly supported by Wilson, are not rebuked.”
This is irrefutable evidence that Hank Johnson is the real racist or as Cervantes said “the pot calling the kettle black,” but in this case the kettle has the problem of not being black.
WoW! Those are very lofty words. I’m not sure I deserve them, but thank you kindly :)
I sent him a short note.
You lie must be punished
But they can accuse you of being KKK domestic terrorists with impunity.
Nice level, fair playing field.
