Two words-- "you lie"-- have lead to thousands more on what has become the hot topic of the day, here in the Midlands and across the country.  Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) earned instant national notoriety and some would argue it's not the kind he wants.  It's also not the kind south carolina needs.

It was the heckle heard around the nation.  An outburst aimed at President Obama during his health care reform speech to a joint session of Congress.  The SC NAACP is outraged at the show of disrespect and disappointed by the ensuing embarrasment for South Carolina.
