Rep. Joe Wilson: his lying about Obama lies turns out to be a lie

Whodathunk?

The controversy over Republican Rep. Joe Wilson’s shouting out “You Lie!” at the President over his claim that illegal immigrants wouldn’t benefit from health-care reform apparently sparked some reconsideration of the relevant language. “We really thought we’d resolved this question of people who are here illegally, but as we reflected on the President’s speech last night we wanted to go back and drill down again,” said Senator Kent Conrad, one of the Democrats in the talks after a meeting Thursday morning. Baucus later that afternoon said the group would put in a proof of citizenship requirement to participate in the new health exchange — a move likely to inflame the left.

They want to censure him for yelling out that Obama was a liar when Obama lied about no illegal immigrants being covered.

Media Mutters and Keef Unterman raised hell, calling Wilson a liar.

Well,, it's hard to call Wilson a liar if they thing he was looking for has to be included after he called the president a liar when the president said it was already there.

The R's have tried to insert specific language into the bill to prohibit inclusion of illegals - twice already.

Once in the Ways & Means committee, and once in the Commerce committee.

Dims shot it down by vote both times.

I'll be donating to Mr Wilson if he's planning on running again.

I'll be donating to Mr Wilson if he's planning on running again.

Roll Call says he has raised approximately $700,000 as of this afternoon.

His opponent raised about $500,000
