Joe Wilson on not being partisan at a political fundraiser

Posted by Moonage on 15 Dec 2005 | Tagged as: National Politics

Joe Wilson, who supports his claims for the accuracy of his trip to Africa in 2002 on the fact that he’s non-political, reiterates that point defending his acceptance to speak at a Democrat fundraiser:

Wilson’s Dec. 16 visit, for an invitation-only dinner in Minneapolis and a speech that will be open to the public in St. Paul, will come one week after President Bush’s scheduled Friday visit to Minneapolis for a private fundraiser for Republican Rep. Mark Kennedy’s 2006 campaign for the U.S. Senate.

In a telephone interview Tuesday, Wilson said he accepts speaking invitations from many groups, although "Republicans don’t often invite me." He was a volunteer foreign-policy adviser to John Kerry’s 2004 Democratic presidential campaign and has made numerous appearances in recent years on behalf of Democratic candidates and causes, he said.

He cites the fact that Republicans don’t like him as justification that he is non-partisan.

That should tell ya something folks.  Regardless of the justification, endorsing Democrat only candidates and raising money only for Democrats means you are partisan.

Wonder what else Joe Wilson has equivocated recently?
