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."

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.....
‘I AM JOE WILSON’
So old Hank Johnson was the moderate Dim that won against the flmer McKinny? Jeez the Acorn doesn’t fall far from the Commie Tree does it?
It's the time of year where everyone in Washington gets all wee-wee’d up!
If it wasn’t for race topics what would these people talk about in their spare time?
“No confetti. All right, go race cards, go race cards. We need more race cards. All race cards! All race cards! Keep going! Come on, guys, lets move it. Jesus! We need more race cards. I want all race cards to go, goddammit. Go confetti. Go confetti. More confetti. I want more race cards. What's happening to the race cards? We need more race cards.
“We need all of them coming down. Go race cards- race cards? What's happening race cards? There's not enough coming down! All race cards, what the hell! There's nothing falling! What the f*** are you guys doing up there? We want more race cards coming down, more race cards. More race cards. More race cards”
Yes it is but that ole dog ain't huntin no mo!
