Erick Erickson called Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) a “great American hero” in a post at his website, RedState.com.
His palpable excitement – “he gets a drink on me!” – followed Wilson’s shout of “you lie!” to President Obama during his speech last night.
The conservative also wrote that Sen. Bob Bennett (R-UT) is an “unrepentant fool” for applauding Obama when he addressed the false rumors of death panels. “Bob Bennett (RINO-UT) was the only Republican who stood up and clapped when Barack Obama bashed Sarah Palin over the death panels,” he said. “That jackass should be taken out in a primary.”
