Rep. Joe "You Lie" Wilson appeared on C-SPAN's Washington Journal and after
ignoring the concerns of a caller who pointed out how the military's Don't
Ask Don't Tell policy is not working and responded by saying it did, he
then defended as Think Progress pointed out, an anti-gay caller's remarks.
This man sounded like nothing but a broken John McCain talking points
regurgitation machine during this interview, but with even less tact than
McCain is capable of when defending his continually moving goalposts on
DADT.
