In Heckler’s District, Support for the Outburst
by ROBBIE BROWN and CARL HULSE
Published: September 10, 2009
SWANSEA, S.C. — In Washington, Representative Joe Wilson of South Carolina was
sharply criticized by both Democrats and his fellow Republicans for shouting
“You lie!” during President Obama’s health care address on Wednesday. But here
in his strongly Republican Congressional district on Thursday, he was celebrated
by many of his constituents for his outburst.
“Yeah, it was rude, but somebody needed to say it,” said Susan Wahl, 41, a
homemaker in this town of 800 outside Columbia. “Ordinary people can’t just get
up and tell Obama he lied. He said something we all wanted to say.”
In a state famous for both its gentility and its rebelliousness, Mr. Wilson
earned praise from voters who admired his message, if not his delivery.
“I kind of want to defend Representative Wilson,” said Mendel Lindler, 63, an
insurance salesman in Lexington, a Columbia suburb. “The president has been
trying to shove something down our throats, and Representative Wilson said,
‘Hold on here.’ ”
the other shoe drops guess we'll see who's running this district its citizens or
moveon
Aides to Mr. Wilson said his office on Capitol Hill received what may have been
thousands of telephone calls on Thursday, which they estimated were supportive
of the congressman by a margin of three to one.
