It matters

In all the harumphing among the Washington insiders about Rep Joe Wilson's "breach of protocol," I think it's also really important to remember that Rep Wilson was also unquestionably factually wrong.

I don't know how this spins, but I would think the fact that the new face of healthcare opposition is so woefully, willingly, and passionately misinformed has to color the perception of the debate. (Or at least it should.) Even his apology maintains the falsehood.
