COLUMBIA, South Carolina (BNO NEWS) -- A day after South Carolina Republican Rep. Joe Wilson's outburst in Congress during President Obama's speech, political figures from all fronts are condemning his actions.
But not only political leaders are voicing their outrage, also citizens are taking part. About 18 hours after his outburst, Wilson's Democratic opponent, Rob Miller, had received more than 11,000 individual grassroots contributions raising more than $400,000, a spokesman for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee told BNO News. "It's a shattering amount," he said, while adding that contributions are still coming in.

I don't know anything about SC politics, is this outspoken Joe Wilson worth conservatives donating to HIS election coffers, or is there a better candidate in the wings that needs our help?
waste of money off year election he will win by 12 points..he won last year presidential election year Obama year by 8..let them waste their dough
I wonder if they’re LYING????
Contributions from: S. Tim Ulus. Unpackaged.
” 11,000 individual grassroots contributions “
The stench of ACORN is in the air...
(wonder how much of that $400k is taxpayer money...)
$400,000/55,000= $36.36 average donation.
Liberals, LYING?!?
You take that back, you big meanie conservative person, you, you!!!
/thin skinned easily offended liberals off
LOLOL. ;-)
How many terms has he served? I thought this was his first term.
Don’t believe it...........another damn lie.
This is probably Obama & friends pumping in foreign cash from their coffers. Who would be so angry that they would contribute to Joe’s opponent, ridiculous.
I’m having a lot of trouble believing that 11,000 people even know who Joe Wilson’s last opponent was, let alone thinking that they were so outraged that they would send him actual money.
Given the work ethic of the typical hard-left activist, I'd say just about all of it.
This jive crappola has been running through the news all day.
I would bet heavily that Joe Wilson’s campaign coffers have grown much more substantially than his opponents since last evenings events.
I’m betting this is based on some DU poll asking how many might donate rather than dollars in a campaign war chest.
Perhaps Jib Jab could do a video like the Dancing Itos, except it would be the Lying Obamas...(dancing while lying).
Each a differenyt lie, with the finish having all the different Lying Obamas crowding out of the screen.
I would like to see a donor list
I am calling BS
Maybe it is spare cash from local ACORN cell’s “lighting fund”.
Rush pointed out that Miller’s campaign was $400K in debt, so the contributions have merely retired his debt. That is, if the numbers are true.
10,000 Kenyans gave gave a year’s income each and the little Acorns gave the rest. I did give $100 to Wilson - always glad to hlep an honest man.
Basically, the DNC is pumping out money for Wilson’s opponent to send the message (AGAIN) that anyone who speaks out against Obama will be punished. It’s all about intimidation.
