This is for Republicans, who denounced the rebuke to Rep. Joe Wilson as a "witch hunt."
For brain-dead Republicans (that's a redundancy if ever there was one), a "witch hunt" is when a person is persecuted for a crime that he not only did not commit, but could not have possibly committed -- as there are no such thing as witches. Sorry Wiccans, but until you can manage to turn me into a newt, there's no such thing as a witch in the generally-accepted meaning of the term.
Joe Wilson is not the victim of a Witch Hunt. First of all, he did the fucking crime, as tens of millions of people watching the speech can readily attest. And since Wilson has already apologized for what he did, even HE acknowledges that he's guilty as Cain in this matter. The offense in question is not a figment of somebody's imagination. It happened.
As to the Republican claim that Wilson did nothing that hadn't been done by Democrats during the Bush years, there's two points to make here. A) Saying that others did it too does not constitute a Witch Hunt (it's further evidence that Wilson really did do it), and B) You lying sack of crap, you. Name the Democrat who heckled Bush during any of his speeches before Congress. Name names or shut the fuck up.
So this is not a Witch Hunt. What it is, is Republicans demanding to never be held accountable for their actions.
