While it's out of place, heckling has always gone on and it was way worse back in the days of our founders. I don't think they would think it was too big of a deal. However I'm pretty damn sure they would be spinning in their graves knowing how much special interest/big business controls our current day politics.


Over Joe Wilson?s congressional career, health professionals represent Wilson?s top industry contributors, donating a total of $244,196 to his campaign. He received another $86,150 from pharmaceutical companies, $73,050 from insurance companies and $68,000 from hospitals and nursing homes.

I think that's the real reason he is pissed off about health care reform..
