Sorry, but you're really stretching things here. People are pretty outraged about what Wilson said...have you seen some of the comments and news commentaries about it? Wasn't there also a story about how one of his potential opponents raised a ridiculous amount of money after the remark?

ETA: Here's a sample of the anti-Wilson commentary: http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/20...ublican-antics. If you read some of the 500+ comments, you'll see that people are fairly outraged about what he said.

People donated to Wilson's opponent almost immediately and are still commenting on his outburst.

I think it's dumb that people are immediately supporting an opponent who they know little to nothing about JUST BECAUSE Wilson yelled "that's a lie!" Knee jerk reactions are always dumb.

Michael Baisden is one media figure who has been outspoken about Wilson and has donated to his opponent. Coincidentally, Baisden can't seem to get either of their names straight on aire. Either way, he and his crew are headed to S.C. in support of Wilson's opponent. Sounds like how they rallied people for Jena, LA. That massive family reunion was a huge fail after the fish fry grease dried up and folks began to realize that the Jena, as INDIVIDUALS, are nothing to rally behind.
