Caught CNN at DTW airport this afternoon, just before my flight to NJ, interviewing Wilson’s rival’s campaign mouthpiece letting her chattering about how much money they raised in the past day or so.

No mention of the contributions headed Wilson’s way. They spent a good five minutes or so minutes letting this gal trash Wilson and pump her candidate.

Naw, CNN is not in the bag for the democrats, naw, no way

"Keep this up and hordes of Republican candidates and maybe even a few democrats will be lining up at every Obama speech to yell insults at him."

I saw your post and I burst out laughing so hard my sides hurt. Because it is sooooo true. And wouldn't that be great! LOL

Perhaps. But as Politico noted it is a strong message. The GOP leadersip rebuked him and demanded an apology. He has been targeted by the media and Democrat's. Yet he is now the beneficiary of over a 1 million in donation with more still coming in. This in effect says we don't care what the GOP leadship thinks and we'll have the back of those who ignore the GOP's lead and stand up to Obama when they are in the right. Maybe other Republicans will take notice and follow.

Wilson, who initially apologized for his words, is now riding a reaction that has surpassed the liberal backlash to his words: Miller has raised less than $900,000, according to the Democratic fundraising site ActBlue -- though still more than enough to envigorate his challenge.

Didn't the left claim Miller was over 1 million? Who knew they lied? ;) Half of that will go to pay debts so Miller only has less than half of Wilson's chest to use to his benefit when you add Wilson's starting 200k before this happened. his in a heavily Republican district. I think some Republicans in need of funds will suddenly be Joe Wilson's best friend soon. :)

He can donate that money to other Republicans in need. He has the potential to go from a backbencher to a powerbroker.

Saw CNN gal yesterday going on about the $1 million raised by the other guy, then noting, with a smirk, how Wilson only raised $67,000 before his remark. CNN also failed to mention that the other guy’s total includes $235,000 of his own money... CNN comment, “What a stupid move by the Congessman.”

I just contributed a few minutes ago, first time ever for someone outside my own state.

My second time. I sent Rick Lazio some money when he ran against "invading my space" Hillary Clinton in NYC.

Only one I know is McCain. Boehner defended what he said in a news conference.

Specter went after him as well but he is a TRAITOR!

Specter is a turd from the same Pinko pile of dog dung McCain is from. But the thing is he showed his colors while the Quisling continues to soil the Party.

“despite having been criticized by Republican leaders”?
What leaders? Old dopes like McLame or other Rino turds like Graham?
Those are not leaders but are scum and garbage.

Which means the Dems are wasting their resources.

Sounds like perfect strategery for any brave Pub in a safe district. Get a slam in on 'Bam, outrage some Dems and make them waste their money funding your hapless oponent.

The Democrat contributions provided a powerful incentive for the Right to give to Wilson.

Thanks to the Dems! May all their nasty, petty, vitriolic campaigns be failures!

McLamo was the most vocal ~ calling for Wilson to ‘apologize immediately’.

People in AZ aren’t taking McLame’s comments too well. I’m in AZ working for most of 2 weeks and have been hearing talk radio with people calling in castigating McLame and cheering on Wilson. I’d say our war hero should have thought about all the Tea Parties and realized Wilson’s outburtst would make many of us feel Wilson was speaking for us. Big mistake I think for John.

Wilson is in his 3rd or 4th term in a heavily Republican district. He had nothing really to worry about before Wednesday, and even less to worry about now.

Sweet news all the way around.

Just sent a whopping $5. Every bit helps and I enjoy seeing him outpace the Dem. Felt I needed to send the rinos a message that good behavior gets donations.
