Obama heckled by GOP during speech to Congress

(AP) – 16 minutes ago

WASHINGTON — The nastiness of August reached from the nation's town halls into the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday as President Barack Obama tried to move his health care plan forward.

South Carolina Republican Rep. Joe Wilson shouted "You lie!" after Obama had talked about illegal immigrants.

It wasn't the only interruption during Obama's speech to a joint session of Congress in the House of Representatives. Earlier, Republicans laughed when Obama acknowledged that there are still significant details to be worked out before a health overhaul can be passed.

Wilson's outburst caused Obama to pause briefly before he went on with his speech. Overhead in the visitors' gallery, first Lady Michelle Obama shook her head from side to side.

I'd say being able to stand up and call the president a liar in the middle of a state speech and not be escorted out, let alone end up with a bullet in the brain pan is very American.

Every American should appluade him dumbass.  If the President is indeed lying to the people, then someone needs to stand the **** up and say so.  Had this been Bush, or Reagan, I'd say the same exact thing.

This schmuck is free to disagree, but that kind of behavior should not be tolerated should be punished.


If I had my way, he would be stripped of his office, but I suspect that is not a possibility.

Agreed.  And so would I.  But I didn't hear "You Lie."  I heard "Liar!"  I dunno, sounds better the way I heard it.  I am happy to hear such vocal accusations.  It is what we should have.  God forbid our country continues to be led by sheeple.

Damn.  Why did he apologize????

Joe Wilson is a troglodyte who brought shame to his country. Even he admits this in his -admittedly- watered-down apology. There is a time and a place to air grievances and to speak truth to power, but when the President of the United States is speaking, you should probably STFU.

Did they shout him down in the middle of the House? Did they call him a liar to his face? C'mon man, only the Haters are on board with this despicable outburst. Even Republicans are at least making a show of being ashamed.
Besides which, an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind (Gandhi). Even supposing the left HAD been as deplorably rude as Wilson was tonite, that's no reason for the right to 'sink' to their level.
We can agree on that much, right? That politicians, regardless of party affiliation, should represent the best of us?

The best of the Democrat Party was a man who killed a woman by drowning and then spent the rest of his life joking about it. The best of the Democrat Party is a man who allowed a homosexual prostitution ring to operate from his home. The best of the Democrat Party is hiding taxable assets while writing tax laws for everyone else. The best of the Democrat Party is a man who literally hates everyone with white skin and reveres communist mass murderers and who finds massive support from the press. The best of the Democrat Party is a super-wealthy money trader who hides his billions in tax free bonds while encouraging high taxes for everyone else.

Politicians reflect the worst of the Democrat Party because the mass media gives them a pass. Somehow the press and left seem to demand "civility" from everyone else while holding themselves above that sort of thing.

Rude is calling average citizens "unamerican", "terrorists", "Hitlers heirs" etc simply for disagreeing with those in power.

Another high ideal held by the left in this country is shameless, utter hypocrisy that on the morning of January 20 "speak truth to power" became "stfu america"!.

I thought it was perfect. Obama lives in an insular little cacoon and recently said Americans had selective amnesia because they don't remember how bad things were seven months ago. The left is okay with shoes being thrown at Bush, this was nothing. Obama was a guest in their House after all.

In the first place, DUmbass Ian David misspelled it.  It's "Sic Semper Tyrannis, the motto of my home state of Virginia.

So by shouting "Thus Always To Tyrants", this means Joe Wilson is anti-American?  Sounds to me Wilson's only guilt is "definition of character"....

This DUmbass probably thinks it means "Death To Tyrants", since it is usually mistranslated that way, and since John Wilkes Booth shouted it when he assassinated Lincoln, and Zero fancies himself to be "Linconlesque"
