This so-called Representative of The People stands up and screams out "You lie!" at a speaking President of the United States, the disgrace of Joe Wilson is beyond anything I have seen in a long time. His apology means diddly because he has now set the negative example that this kind of behavior and this kind of disrespect aimed at the President is OK, even at the highest levels. Sickening, typical Repug BS!!

I thought Senator James Webb set the bar pretty darn low myself.

Bad behavior. You bet? Something new? Nope.

Did Webb call Bush a liar when Bush asked about "his boy"? No, he just told the President he wanted us out of Iraq and didn't wish to discuss his son, big deal. I applaud his candor in dealing with Bush and he was not anywhere near as rude or as outright frakkin disgraceful as Wilson was last night. All time low, even for Repugs...

Bush spent 8 years standing up there in front of America and the world lying his tail off about everything and I don't recall a single person (particularly a Democratic Rep) ever getting up and calling him out for it except for the Iraqi guy who threw shoes at him, that was so awesomely symbolic by the way...

One person's candor is another rudeness ... personally I found Mr Wilson candid as well.

Both were out of line, yet some will excuse bad behavior when it suits them.

Dissent will be dealt with using an iron fist. I must admit that Pelosi and Joe Biden looked like they were about to dampen their pampers. Good for Joe Wilson, too bad he apologized.

Right out of the democratic play book...and, Rep. Wilson is right - Obama is lying about illegals being provided healthcare under his Marxist healthcare scam.

He must have thought this was London, not DC. We expect our politicians to fake civility while they stab each other in the back - it's the American way. Yelling like a loon in a public forum is not.

Keg! Correct. There is no Legislation that forbids/prevents illegals from 'signing up'. Anyone has First Amnendment Rights.

Personally, I think it's extremely unprofessional.

On the lighter side though, the thought of a politician calling someone else a liar is extremely hilarious, don't ya'll think?

Right after I heard about it, an image popped in my mind of a dude in a white sheet and hood calling someone a bigot....

and a used car salesman telling someone he was untrustworthy.....

and one of the three stooges yelling at someone because they were being goofy.....

hahahahaha

Get real.

Friggin' politicians, they're all a bunch of screwballs: democrats and republicans both.

Shoot, the Enquirer could probably fill whole newspapers with their antics.......

hmmmm, not a bad idea..... A gossip rag dedicated solely to the soap opera that is our government)

hahaha

Peace,

Lost control over his emotions? BS. This was a trial balloon floated by the psychotic right. He was hoping to get the ball rolling but they miscalculated and it went over like a lead balloon. That's why he had to scurry out like a rat from a house cat when the speech ended. That's why he was made to apologize ASAP.

This has the dual effect of solidifying him with his wing nut base and further isolating that shrinking base from America as a whole.

I think the Dems are smart to give these loons all the airtime in the world. It's what helped President Obama win the election and it will help in 2010 also.

The same people who are championing Wilson's 'freedom of speech' today will be whining about 'respecting the dignity of the office' in 4 years when Obama is not re-elected.

An amendment was put forward to specifically deny illegal immigrants health care. The Democratic controlled committee refused to approve it. So not only is there no legislation that forbids it, legislation specifically to forbid it was voted down in this Democratic Congress.

Does BO think we are all idiots?

Obama is a liar, proven over and over...First lie known of was his PROMISE to use public funds if McCain would, we all see how that worked out!


Good for him to stand up while being belittled by this Left Wing extremest of a President, it is time we stand up against this out of control government that likes to dish it out, but not take it...Just like little bully children!


Even the AP had a fact check after his speech and much of his promises can not be substantiated.


One example is you can keep your current healthcare promise, while that is true to a point, if your employer ops to go with the cheaper commie healthcare you lose the good stuff regardless of how YOU feel about it.



The Republicans tried to make it required to prove citizenship to get medical bennies through an amendment and all Dems voted it down, so, illegals would in fact be eligible making the Presidents claim that illegals would not be covered a LIE!

"Once again a South Carolina Republican has embarrassed our state," South Carolina Democratic Party Chair Carol Fowler said in a statement that referred to S.C. Gov. Mark Sanford's extramarital affair.

"Never has any member of Congress shown such disrespect for the President during a speech," Fowler wrote. "One would think that as a member of the military, Joe Wilson would have more respect and patriotism than he displayed tonight. When Congressman Wilson insulted President Obama, he also insulted the American public. Joe Wilson is a poor example of a statesman and an American. He owes an apology to the President and the American people."

True dat!!

Nahhh...usually the cowards wait until later to call a Sitting President during war that he is Hitler, Pol Pot etc. That is sooooo much more honorable.

LMFAO!!!

Democracy is messy, but it sure is fun to watch.

It's interesting to see who, on a thread about an individual's bad behavior, chooses to completely ignore said behavior and instead focus on how exactly Obama is The Destroyer Of All That Is Good And Holy.

It smacks of intellectual dishonesty. Surely there is someone out there who is constitutionally capable of simultaneously disagreeing with the President and realizing that this congressman is an ass.

You give the Republicans way to much credit. This wasn't a conspiracy to get something else going. That line of thought belongs in John's favorite forum ---------> Conspiracies that way.

Despite a total lack of evidence, you can't prove that it's not true can you?

I rest my case.

We elected him, what do you think?

Where are all you outrage people at Dems booing GB2 in the State of the Union Add in 2005?

Where were you when Reid called the last CinC a Loser and Liar?

Where were you when this Prez slammed an entire police force and never apologized?


What Wilson did was bad taste and he should have gotten a camera to voice his opinion.

Problem is he shouldnt have acted like Pelosi, Reid or the WH.

WEll, I know Carol Fowler and her Husband Don frmr DNC Chair. And they are extreme partisans and arent exactly the standard for swell comments.

As far as insulting Americans, she is a hypocrit! What have Dems been doing the last months in this debate.

Don Fowler was the person laughing about a hurricane headed for New Orleans during the GOP convention and saying God favored Dems.

Carol Fowler said: John McCain has chosen a running mate whose “primary qualification seems to be that she hasn’t had an abortion.”

So spare us the partisan rants from the DNC.

You couldnt come up with something better to counter the rants of your spokespeeps on the left I see.
