Take Joe Wilson &#8211; he sparked a debate about whether Democrats want to give tax-payer funded health care to illegal immigrants. I mean, it&#8217;s an important question, isn&#8217;t it? Well, according to Hank Johnson, the Georgia Democrat, if someone doesn&#8217;t punish Joe Wilson and quick, it&#8217;ll bring back the post-Civil War Era. The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/wp-dyn\/content\/article\/2009\/09\/15\/AR2009091503435.html?wprss=rss_politics\">Washington Post<\/a> reports on Johnson like this;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Rep. Hank Johnson, a black Democrat from Georgia, invoked the Ku Klux Klan in talking about Wilson&#8217;s behavior. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yeah, I guess they were a little ashamed to put his whole quote in print. Luckily, <a href=\"http:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/s\/ap\/20090916\/ap_on_go_co\/us_health_care_heckling_31\">the AP<\/a> didn&#8217;t have that problem;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>On the Democratic side, Rep. Hank Johnson, D-Ga., accused Wilson of instigating racist sentiment against the president and sending the signal that &#8220;you don&#8217;t have to bury it now. You can bring it out.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I guess we&#8217;ll probably have folks putting on white hoods and white uniforms again and riding through the countryside intimidating people,&#8221; Johnson, who is black, told reporters. &#8220;That&#8217;s the logical conclusion if this kind of attitude is not rebuked. Congressman Wilson represents it. He&#8217;s the face of it.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yeah, like when Black &#8220;leaders&#8221; threatened that George W. Bush was going to bring back slavery. That was just political rhetoric, I suppose. <\/p>\n<p>Jimmy Carter joined in the hyperbole, too. Jimmy Carter, who supported &#8220;racially pure neighborhoods&#8221; in 1976.
