I think Joe Wilson's outburst basically ruined the teabag parade, added an air of real ugliness

1. I agree

I have developed much disdain for these people. I hope others see them for what they are.

2. It's the same mentality that got Harvey Milk Murdered ,simple minded Solution

by mental Brats.

[Chemisse]

3. It's been ugly all along.

Death panels, threats against Obama's life, disruptions of town hall meetings . . .

This is the first time though that an elected congressman has crossed that kind of line. It is disturbing that few Republicans are condemning it.

I really don't know how the chips will fall on this. Certainly the crazies are not suddenly waking up and realizing how out-of-control they are.

5. But he says he apologized to the President already...

and he feels no need to apologize to the House, since that was the institution which he embarrassed and in which he serves.

6. Pelosi blew it -

she should have demanded he apologize IMMEDIATELY. (Maxwell's Silver Hammer.)

When she let time go by, he morphed into a hero of the rightwingnuts, and now he's untouchable and arrogant.

She needs to understand what "immediate" means. It should have taken as long to nail Wilson as it did for him to shout out those vile words.............

4. I don't know

The media seemed to eat it up.

Bottom line - they are getting away with murder while we sit home and scream at the T.V. We should have been there raising hell and throwing eggs and tomatoes yesterday.

Sorry - my hand is not longer out towards Republicans. They are different than us - and I think they are collectively too wet to step on and too low to kick. Yet - they lost and still seem to be getting their way.
