I agree, I can see Wilson making the same statement with Hillary at the healm. I really didn't see recism in his statement, I saw frustration.
If Hillary were at the healm we'd be in the middle of 4 years of lectures on how sexist the right is.

I think so. I believe his outburst was regarding the health proposals and illegals and not racist.
That does not mean, after reading this congressman's background, that I would believe that he doesn't have a racist bone in his body though.
edit: I like this quote by Dick Harpootlian. "I don't think Joe's outburst was caused by President Obama being African-American. I think it was caused by no filter being between his brain and his mouth."

then you are part of the problem, not the solution.Sorry Sandy Pants. I have no respect for our present President!
we ended up with obama because of the catastrophic presidency of gw combined with maccain's lackluster campaign and nightmare selection of palin to appease the bible rednecksSo no one on the left has ever disrespected the office of George W. Bush? Puhlease! If America is so racist how did we end up with a black president? Will racism always exist unfortunately yes on all sides of the fence...White / Black, Black / White, Muslim / Christian, etc. I don't believe that not agreeing with someone's political agenda makes anyone a racist. Insinuating that people are racist if they don't agree with the Presidents politics is a scare tactic. Isn't that what the left was crying about the right? Jimmy's rant scared me.
he doesn't have a racist[rebel flag love] bone in his body....it's all cartilage.I agree. I am not sure his statement was racist. but given his background... and also given "white denial" about racism (nothing new there) - I am not completely convinced. either way, he was an ass.
no first we'd cover the racism and fear mongering, moving on to tax cuts for the wealthy with a brief pause at deficit spending. then we would proceed to lying about global warming, torture, and weapons of mass destruction, followed by the wasteful creation of another department[homestyle security] of government. concluding we would examine the massive gift of billions to wall street, the complete inaction on any healthcare reform and then conclude with sexism. it was all hard work!If Hillary were at the healm we'd be in the middle of 4 years of lectures on how sexist the right is.
