South Carolina Congressman Joe Wilson let his emotions get the best of him during President Obama’s speech to push his health care ideology by shouting “you lie!” Congressman Wilson immediately came under attack and just as quickly apologized for his outburst.
Apparently it’s okay for our President to call citizens and members of his opposing party liars, however the opposite is unacceptable and partisan. Obama said that Sara Palin’s comments about his plan “a lie, plain and simple.”
Our nation was founded by brave men and women willing to stand up against the tyranny and lies of her political leaders. Congressman Wilson has nothing to apologize for, he did nothing inappropriate … The other elected officials in that hall should be apologizing for not rising to their feet in support of Wilson … in defense of “we the people!”
Mr. Wilson, never apologize for allowing your love of truth to overrun your desire to be polite. If America is to remain as a beacon of light and hope to this troubled world we must be willing to stand for truth. It is the liar who must apologize not the one who identifies the liar!
Wrong. You don’t shout or heckle the President during an address. It’s not “Question Time” in Parliament. It’s called being polite, civil, courteous and well-mannered. Your hero qualifies as none of the above. He apologized for doing it, so someone got it into his skull that he had screwed up. Don’t defend the indefensible. The opinion he expressed does not matter in the least. The conduct does. Guy’s an idiot.
Wrong, joed
Obama thought he had a secure venue in which to propagate his lies to the American people. Joe Wilson upset that game plan fabulously. Millions saw the outburst and identified with the sentiments. He said the same that we were all yelling at our TV sets throughout the speech.

Thank you South Carolina!!
What about the proven fact that healthcare reform WILL NOT provide health coverage for illegal immigrants…?
Conervatives love to stir things up and shout… providing distraction that pleases their corporate and religious masters… but ignoring the facts all together:
The House bill contains a section (Sec. 246) titled “NO FEDERAL PAYMENT FOR UNDOCUMENTED ALIENS,” which states: “Nothing in this subtitle shall allow Federal payments for affordability credits on behalf of individuals who are not lawfully present in the United States.”
Your right wing paranoia is exposing you for what you are – white, southern, racists
Let’s see … “white?” no, “southern?” from California (that’s west), “racist?” nope
Try lover of Freedom … which includes your right to make ignorant comments because you have the right to not only have your opinion, but to voice them too.
John, thank a patriot for providing and sustaining your ability to speak your mind because in left wing countries you could not do that.
Jim, do you believe just because a bill says it won’t do something that it doesn’t?
It says it won’t be given to anyone not “lawfully present” but it provides no REQUIREMENT OF VERIFICATION.
remember, most illegals have fake social security ID’s, etc. if there isn’t a proper verification requirement in the bill, (which there is not) then they will recieve free healthcare. End of story.
“…to return our great nation to more closely resemble what our Founding Fathers established.”
That is, run entirely by white males with women and minorities as either possessions or servants.
Welcome to the 18th century.
Enjoy your status as the racist, lunatic fringe in the 21st.
Excellent post! I Googled around for this… I stumbled upon your site!
Anyway, would you care if I posted a backlink from my blog site to your blog site?
President Obama promised $100 million and the full resources of the U.S. government for what he said would be one of the largest relief efforts in recent history. U.S. officials said 30 countries had either sent aid or promised to do so. Rescue teams from eight countries were on the ground.
Does health care reform really have any chance now after the political defeat in MA?
