Rep. Hank Johnson of Georgia declared that Joe Wilson's comments show that his true colors, as a racist conservative, appeasing the right-wing extremists who have disrespected Obama by portraying him with a Hitler mustache or as an African witch doctor! "It only happened when this country elected a president of color!" "He [Wilson] did not help the cause of diversity and tolerance with his remarks," Johnson said. "If I were a betting man, I would say that it instigated more racist sentiment feelings."
Johnson demanded that by not rebuking Wilson for his remarks will increase racism in the health care debate, "You can bring it out and talk about it fully, and so I guess we will probably have folks putting on white hoods and white uniforms again riding through the countryside intimidating people."
