And speaking truth to power is one of those things the primitives always admired in the past, right?

I am truly shocked, truly saddened, by the reaction of the primitives.

I hoped they'd applaud it, this speaking truth to power.

Quite inappropriate, but if you're going to say it and mean it, you shouldn't be apologizing for it afterward.

Ditto!!

But as USA4ME pointed out, it's done. Beating this horsie makes the libs look petty.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

Hard to say it wasn't exactly classy but, maybe it needed to be done. Either way people are talking about it and the left is on the defensive and the best they can do is try to paint him as a racist since, they can't refute his message.

I thought it was a good move.  Now when we have proof of illegals getting "free" healthcare, we can so easily say, "See, BHO did lie, and we told you so in advance."

It's already law that if they show up at the ER the hospital has to treat them,. ....so technically, healthcare for illegals doesn't have to be in the bill for them to get free healthcare. So The Big "O" ain't lying....................much.

The lie is about illegals being able to get insurance coverage.  There have been a couple of amendments shot down that would have required proof of citizenship to apply for insurance coverage.

Respect for the office of the president went out the window the day that Obama character walked through the door.  It is very difficult to sit out here in the heartland and defend the need to respect an office which is occupied by a mindless puppet who has no respect for who he is suppose to be.

I say screw it all.  Shout the Little-Goon-In-Chief down every time he opens his parrot mouth.  He and his masters have nothing to contribute to the real United States of America.  They are here to destroy it. 

Respect the office?  Yeah, sure.  "The office" can KISS MY ASS.  I want the atmosphere to be as hostile and disrespecting as possible.

God Bless you, Joe Wilson.  May God damn all the other cowards who sit around and "respect" as if there is really anything left to pretend.

Under normal circumstances I believe it is always better to take the high road, and be "above" your opponents with class and dignity.

Obviously, these aren't normal circumstances, and I can't seem to reconcile my thoughts back to my beliefs.

It may have been wrong, but he only said what many of us were thinking.  It would have been nice to see the Republican counter speech come out and point to every lie in his speech.

I'm beyond caring with this lot. We can say that we want decorum preserved so we need to lead from the front but the fact is these power-grabbers already do it. I prefer not to firebomb the other guy's population centers but if he starts it first...

And since all the hippy-crite outrage all but guarantees illegal immigrants will be front and center of the forthcoming debates we get to put them in a very tight corner.

**** 'em...shouting out in the chamber to help this boondoggle stumble and fall is better than our lives usurped by the likes of Reid, Pelosi, Frank, Murtha, Dodd, Kiucinich, Jackson-Lee, Shey-Porter etc.

Similar things were happening here as well.  I was amazed by both the speed and number of epithets the SigO was able to string together conjugating the verb lie ending  :censored: socialist bastard.  (But then, she went to parochial schools)  



As I've pointed out elsewhere, if Che-Porter's name appears anywhere on any criticism of Rep. Wilson or any motion to censure him, I'm going to burn up that hypocritical bitch's phone/fax/e-mail lines.

While everyone was thinking it, it was still wrong to do.

The man is still the President of the United States.  You don't treat him with such blatant disrespect, especially when you know the eyes of the entire nation are watching.

While I agree that doing it 1--in that particular venue was wrong, 2--just because the other side did it for eight years to Bush doesn't make it right now, I'll admit I did a little bit of a fist-pump when I heard that.

Oh I did as well.  But apon reflection I realized that it was the wrong place to do it.

I just wish he hadn't been so quick to turn around and apologize.  He said what most people in this country are feeling.  IMHO he truly spoke on behalf of the American public and there is no reason to apologize for that.

According to the Yahoo article I read this morning, this issue is a galvanizing one for the Dems. They're outraged at Wilson's disrespect (and it was disrespectful, regardless how truthful the statement really was) and they think it's going to be a bit of a battle cry for them in trying to shove that POS legislation down our throats.

Even though the House tends to be "lustier" than the Senate, there is a certain decorum that's expected. Wilson stepped beyond that.

Personally, I wouldn't piss on Lord Zero if he was on fire and I loathe the ground he walks on, but that doesn't mean I call him a liar in public like that. Wilson's got to have better control of himself than that.

I agree with USA4ME. Wilson's quick apology basically took some of the steam out of the overall argument. Pressing the point makes the accuser look petty.

And I'd also agree that this stunt helped Wilson's cause because it put him in the national spotlight.

Ain't no such thing as bad press when you're a congresscritter.

Good point technically he may be telling the truth. They make it so illegals don't fall under the health care "benefits" but, still treat them at tax payers expense.
ughhh liberal logic gives me a headache.  :-)

Just like the panels won't be death panels although they will be denying people coverage that could result in death (pain pill instead of surgery Obama's own words). But, they aren't death panels. Maybe we should call them rainbow and lollipop panels.  :mental:

The best/ worst one is how this won't add one cent to our deficit. They use money from other programs to cover this then claim that the deficit rose due to spending in the areas that they cut.

It's a shell game and the taxpayer always loses.
Just all depends on how you define "is" and "sexual relations".  :mental:

Sure Wilson was rude by breaking decorum in the house chamber, but the story really should be he was right.  HC may not cover illegal immigrants, but it's not enforceable.  There needs to be stronger words in the Bill to address this.

Wilson is just a distraction in the media now for PBO's awful speech about nothing.

Wilson's got to have better control of himself than that.

Why?  Because the Dems treat Republican presidents with respect?

Obama has been lying about Republicans and their stance on healthcare for months.  And it seems he was trying some more of that last night.
