[SIZE=+1]Feel sorry for Joe Wilson[/SIZE]
It's not easy being a racist these days...

Excerpt:
You have to feel sorry for Joe Wilson, He is old enough (62) to remember when the coloreds knew their place, which was shuffling in the street and being lynched. He started school in an era when no little nigra could have even dreamed of going to school with whites, not in the state that started the Civil War. But then, when he was 7, the Supreme Court desegregated the schools... Sadly, Joe's career has been nondescript, remarkable only in his slavish devotion to George W. Bush and his wars. The world was becoming progressively uneasy for Wilson too. Even back in Sea Horse Acres, they weren't quite as in love with old Joe as they used to be. When he was first elected, he got 84 percent of the vote. However, those numbers have dropped to only 54 percent. And on that same night, the unthinkable happened: A black man was elected president. That's right, president of the Yew-nited States of America. You can't imagine how that might make a one-time Thurmond aide feel. We don't know how Strom himself would have felt, because the senile racist finally croaked six years ago, leaving an illegitimate black daughter behind. That had to have been hell on Joe.

[SIZE=+1]Joe Wilson’s Confederate Cronies[/SIZE]

Excerpt:
Even now, Republican leaders in Washington - presumably including the black RNC chairman Michael Steele - make common cause with the neo-Confederates. They pretend not to notice the Dixie flags, the habitual expressions of racism and bigotry or the poisonous attitude toward Lincoln, King and the other saviors of the nation. And they pretend that the politicians who stoke these smoldering hatreds are loyal to the same ideals as the rest of us. This is the ugly underside of the farthest right-wing elements of the Republican Party. Promoting Joe Wilson as a symbol of the GOP is a dangerous game, but it is nothing new for a political leadership that has been flirting with the neo-Confederates for decades now. Ever since Strom Thurmond left the Democratic Party in 1948, what was once the party of Lincoln has veered closer and closer to the ideology of his assassin.

Shame on you and your Canadian racism...
