Bart Stupak Called ‘Baby Killer’ Video

According to MSNBC’s Luke Russert, the shout came from the Republican side, from an as-yet-unidentified southern Rep. Like Joe “You lie!” Wilson, the heckler should reap a fundraising windfall once he is identified. This might also send a message to other Democrats who might be tempted to make common cause with their GOP colleagues.
