Joe Wilson's War

In the rich tradition of Patriots who founded this great Republic, U.S. Representative Joe Wilson, R-SC, called out the President of the United States on a statement that has been proved time and again to be a lie...a bare faced lie.

The whole thing took place on national TV in the House chamber as Obama addressed the nation on his 1.2 trillion-dollar plan for the government to take over healthcare.

Wilson has made us proud. He is a hero to adherents to the Constitution and those who cherish the ideology and methods of the Founders of the Republic.

Shall we count how many lies Obama has told? That would be nearly impossible. But let's look at some of his most notable:

Here are Obama's own quotes that come immediately before Joe Wilson's remark:

Some of people's concerns have grown out of bogus claims spread by those whose only agenda is to kill reform at any cost. The best example is the claim made not just by radio and cable talk show hosts, but by prominent politicians, that we plan to set up panels of bureaucrats with the power to kill off senior citizens. Now, such a charge would be laughable if it weren't so cynical and irresponsible. It is a lie, plain and simple. (Applause.) There are also those who claim that our reform efforts would insure illegal immigrants. This, too, is false. The reforms -- the reforms I'm proposing would not apply to those who are here illegally.

Called his critics "liars".

Why oppose legislation that would EXPLICITLY PROHIBIT illegal immigrants from getting coverage?

Wilson quickly ended the war by kissing socialist butt so as to not offend them. It's one more disgusting debacle by the wimps in the OP.

The President called out the Republicans. I’d like to see one of you photoshoppers doing a cartoon of Obama, ten gallon hat, two six-guns, outside of a saloon, calling out his enemies.

And have him facing an M1 Abrams tank.

Oh, and make him bow-legged... just like the cartoons of President Bush.

“Wilson has made us proud. He is a hero to adherents to the Constitution and those who cherish the ideology and methods of the Founders of the Republic.”

This might have been true, had Wilson not quickly turned into a sissy and bowed to Obama.

Contrary to the authors opinion, to me, Wilson has only shown himself to be a coward, a noisy coward, but a coward just the same.

I seem to recall a whole political PARTY that made a scare campaign about a president killing off grandma.

DNC's Social Security Cartoon [Dubyah pushes wheelchair-bound invalid over cliff] (Democratic National Committee ^ | 2002-10-03)

Then again, on the eve of the speech yesterday, the CURRENT president of the United States said that grandma will die if we DON'T pass this bill.

Talk about scare tactics.

The Wilson Interruption. Joe Wilson (R-SC) shouted out “You Lied” during the President’s speech. An action which now puts him in jeopardy of “censure” by the ethically-challenged Democrat-controlled House of Representatives. I believe this was the first time anybody in the HISTORY of the United States may be censured for heckling a Presidential address. If they silence Joe on this one, do you think they wouldn’t go after trying to silence talk radio. If you disagree, with “The One,” you are a problem and must be dealt with summarily. Although Joe (my congressman) apologized, watch them take him to the woodshed … and when they do, there’s more proof of the dangers we are facing. The first amendment doesn’t even apply in our halls of congress, “decorum” supersedes the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America.

* (Thank you for speaking out, Joe , too bad more conservatives didn’t turn this joint session of congress into a REAL town hall meting. You’ve got my vote and I hope I can shake your hand and tell you so in person Saturday afternoon).

i took his apology as another slap in the face to the administration.....not an apology at all...

[dalebert]

i too would love to shake his hand

[Frantzie]

Wilson should not have apologized but he had more guts than any other Repubs at that sham last night. Repubs should have walked out at the propaganda tirade.

[Logical me]

Hey, Joe, you are right. King Obama is worst rotten rat face liar the Nation has ever had.

[Check6]

Send him money instead.

[Proverbs 3-5]

Maybe Joe apologized in order to get his free BO beer...?

[fantom]

Wilson created a huge head fake. This is all the morons could talk about. The speech and O disappeared . He will receive untold contributions . Sometimes we make the right mistakes.
