I'll tell WHY I think Rep. Joe Wilson stuck his foot in his mouth so badly.
Because he's been talking about the Democrats/Obama in such a negative way for so long with so many people he just blurted out what he HAS BEEN saying for a long time in private! He had become a victim of forum talk JUST LIKE we see here. Where strong minded folks gather and throw terms around without really considering the implications. Liar, communist, socialist, Nazi's, the list goes on. Then you get together with like minded people at dinner, a cruise in/car show, a political event, a BBQ and CONTINUE that kind of talk until it saturates your soul. You begin to say really stupid stuff without even "thinking about it" because it IS what you HAVE become!
Rep. Joe Wilson is a classic example of exactly what many within the Republican party HAVE become! "Radicalized" from this constant flow of negative BS that is heard on the radio, TV, in print, blogs and forums by other radicalized Repubs. It's like a massive circle jerk of Obama bashing, your killing your party dudes. And for that reason I say, "Carry on", dig that hole a little deeper.
