Where does it state, or even suggest, that the 200 people in the crowd were a "bunch of anti-Republican types"?  How do you know that these people were not Republicans who have become disenchanted with the person they elected to Congress?  Also, you state that you "noticed that the article doesn't point out any actual lies."  If you read the article, you will see that Wilson said  he "supports local prosecutors in domestic violence cases, but he voted against extending the Violence Against Women Act in 2013."  There's one lie for you.  I'm thinking that other lies were told (including about health care) that the crowd heard but is not included in the article.
