That’s a question that Brian Bilbray’s Democratic challengers should be asking.  Congressman Joe Wilson–who, in an erroneous and indecorous fit of pique, screamed “You Lie!” during Obama’s joint session of Congress–really likes to spread the cash around<\/a> under the name of the Carolina Majority PAC–which he controls.<\/a><\/p>\n

The FEC filings show that Joe Wilson’s PAC has an extensive list of beneficiaries, but there’s one that stands out: in the 2006 cycle, the Carolina Majority PAC donated a cool $5,000 to the re-election campaign of Brian Bilbray.<\/p>\n

Now, I don’t know about you, but I think that most people in North San Diego County wouldn’t take political money from someone who loves the confederate flag and is a proud member<\/a> of the Sons of Confederate Veterans.  Hell, when George Allen decided he wanted to play that game, he packed up from SoCal and brought his cowboy boots and confederate flag pin to Charlottesville.<\/p>\n

So the question for Brian Bilbray is, does he support confederate South Carolina values of Congressman Joe Wilson?  If he doesn’t, he should repay that $5,000, especially in light of Wilson’s outburst at our (coincidentally, I presume?) mixed-race President.  If he does, though, he has no business being a Congressman from Southern California.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
