Just donated $50 to Joe "LIAR!" Wilson's opponent

[murdoch]

The people at Daily Kos set up a donation page for Joe Wilson's Democratic opponent, Rob Miller. It has already received in the last 24 hours, $42670 from 1283 people. $50 of that is mine.

Wilson won only 54% to 46% against Miller in 2008, so it is not like a district where he gets 70% of the vote and the campaign is futile. Miller is a Marine who went on two tours of duty in Iraq.

Even if not the case, I think Dean was 100% correct in his 50 state strategy. Look how successful it has been for us! Other than places like Beverly Hills, Palm Beach, Greenwich etc., I don't think there is a community in America where we should not have people on the ground. Without Dean's strategy, we would have never won North Carolina for Obama.

7. A little more incentive ... a bit of history showing Joe Wilson's racism ...

This is what Joe Wilson said when Strom Thurmond's African-American daughter was revealed ...

"...It is the feigned surprise that vexes me most -- the stunned silence, the equivocation, the angry denials that followed the revelation that Strom Thurmond had bedded a black maid and fathered a black child. South Carolina state Sen. John Courson, who huffed, "This is ludicrous," and U.S. Rep. Joe Wilson, who called the revelation "unseemly," have a distinct affection for dishonesty."

He's a racist, pure and simple. He was an aide to Strom Thurmond earlier in his career... Strom taught him well.

Lou Grant (re Ted Baxter): It isn't that he sticks his foot in his mouth; he does that all the time. It's when he jams in both at the same time.
