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...
