Boomer with Attitude / News Old Yeller voted against veterans' health care
Posted By John Grooms on Fri, Sep 11, 2009 at 1:19 PM
Alternet today has an article of interest for anyone who wants to know more about Rep. Joe “Old Yeller” Wilson, who achieved world renown for showing his ass during Pres. Obama’s health care reform speech Wednesday. The article lists “14 things you should know about Joe Wilson,” and it gives some needed background on Old Yeller’s career. I won’t spoil the article by going through each item, but here are two favorites:
1. He’s a member of Sons of Confederate Veterans which, as we’ve written about here before, used to be a respectable group but devolved into a radical neo-Confederate group that favors secession and thinks slaves had it made.
2. Wilson is a military veteran whose health care is set for life, yet he has voted 11 times in the past 8 years against health care for veterans.
On that happy note, don't let buttheads like Wilson get you down, and have a great weekend.
