Didn't the Republican party demand the media to accept Joe Wilson's "apology"

[zbdent]

and "move on"? Isn't he still in office?

And he still serves on the Committee on Armed Services, Subcommittee on Air and Land Forces, and the Subcommittee on Military Personnel ...

1. It is all faux outrage

The republicans have based their party on racism aka "the southern strategy" started by Nixon and used by Reagan, Bush 1, and bush 2.

[Raspberry]

2. Differences:

1. Wilson's comment wasn't racial.

2. He was censured by the House, and Reid wants no consequences for his egregious comments.

3. censured by the House ...

with a LOT of Republicans defending him and demanding that the same be done to Dems ... for what, we don't know, because Dems in Congress didn't heckle Bush like Wilson did, during his speech ...
