On the other hand, Rob Miller, Wilson’s 2010 Democratic opponent, is rapidly closing in on a $1,000,000 haul, a ridiculous amount of money for a congressional challenger to have on hand a year out.
Since Wednesday evening, Democratic and liberal organizations, websites and email-list-owners ranging from Daily Kos to Wesley Clark to MoveOn to the the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee have pounced on Wilson’s outburst, pushing their readers or supporters to donate to Wilson’s Democratic challenger, Rob Miller. In a pre-internet era, this could not have happened so quickly, effectively or visibly:
How many of those offended by the heretofore little-known Wilson’s outburst — a sense of offense riled up by not only progressive blogs but the DCCC and other Dem organizations — would have, in the pre-Internet age, have searched for a stamp and sent a check to Miller for Congress? Not many, that’s how many. Now, that outrage can be channeled with a few clicks.

I don’t donate to ignorant people I don’t know how they will use the money. Since you can’t control your emotions and don’t know how to behave in the Halls of Congress I would not donate to keep you there.
I just donated to Joe Wilson’s campaign for yelling out the truth about the lier Obama. It’s time to get rid the corrupt Dems., and the socalist white house movement. I doubt very much if there is any Dem that has any morals at all.
