WASHINGTON (AP) -- Democratic leaders are planning a House vote early next week to admonish Republican Rep. Joe Wilson if he does not apologize on the House floor for yelling ''You lie!'' during President Barack Obama's health care address to Congress.
National attention from the heckling episode has money pouring into Wilson's campaign treasury and that of his 2010 Democratic challenger. Wilson had raised more than $700,000 since the incident as of Friday, according to the National Republican Congressional Committee. His opponent, Rob Miller, had received more than $1 million from 25,000 donors nationwide, said his campaign manager, Lindsay Zoeller.

Yawn.
Hey Piglosi! Admonish this!
This is beyond contemptable. These sorry sonovabitches are evil!
Shouldn’t Rangel be apologizing for being so corrupt.
Wilson will receive a donation from me.
History is about to repeat.
Really, wth does “admonish” mean??? They really should be looking at Rangel and Frank. If McCain and Graham vote for this, I will contribute to their primary competitors. Tired of GOP eating their own!!!!!!
I don’t know what “admonish” entails, but McCain and Graham are in the US Senate, not in the House, so they aren’t eligible to vote.
Rangle however....
Oh no. There is a new order now which makes Rangel untouchable.
Who cares? It just makes them look like petty little hypocritical tyrants.
Go ahead..make our day!
We will fill his coffers even more!
This is a lie. The WaPo, also being dishonest, tried to play this game. Miller is now at a little over $1 million but that includes money left over from the unsuccessful 2008 campaign against Wilson and money raised since after the election. This is again a spin by the Dems, via a compliant media, to give the impression that Miller got a bigger windfall since a few days ago. It is simply not true and all you need to know is how this source, WaPo, NYT, etc. is not crowing about Miller "crushing" Wilson in fund raising since the incident because they can't. They can claim 25,000 donors nationwide (nice even number for the politically clueless out there) but notice how they don't mention what has been raised in the last 48 hours or tell you what percentage is from out of state.
It kind of reminds of a rinky dink restaurant claiming they are world famous because some couple from Australia ate there once.
Ah true, it is late...I will revise my comment—if any of these Rino House Reps go along with this, I will contribute to their primary opponents.
Even tho in the Senate, McCain did weigh in on Joe Wilson on Wednesday or Thurs. I am tired of Mccain allowing the media to go to him for comment whenever they are looking for someone to say something negative about GOP or conservatives.
“Really, wth does ‘admonish’ mean???”
I don’t know, and really don’t care. Let them have their parliamentary games. Just don’t bother reporting on it like it’s real news.
I remember not long ago listening to some radio personality or another talk about how Congress was threatening to censure Bush. He advised Bush, in the event of censure, to immediately issue an executive order declaring watermelons delicious. It would have just as much import. Perhaps Wilson could issue a private admonishment of the House if they admonish him. What’s good for the goose...
This is all so bad.

I pray DAILY that all of you racist, right wing conservative TRAITORS die poor, disenfranchised, and disgraced…and VERY SOON! Joe Wilson and all of you confederate TRAITORS who think like and support him should all find no safe haven in this country.
May Joe Wilson live in constant fear that he will be neutralized, at his favorite restaurant, in a shopping mall, or on a family vacation. I pray some patriot gives that racist demon what he deserves, very soon.
I see a day soon when all of you racist conservative TRAITORS will be attacked on a daily basis. I pray you are extincted politically and socially, America’s democracy depends on it. You are all a cancer on this country. May your days on this earth be days of profuse and intense suffering, and may your reservations in hell be filled very SOON! You TREASONOUS sons of bi*ches are domestic terrorists, and I pray we use the Patriot Act to rid our nation of you hypocritical, inbred, racist, ignorant scummy pigs and dogs.
I KNOW my prayers will be answered before long.
