On the House floor where President Obama spoke just a half-day earlier, two words shouted by a Republican congressman reverberated louder than the finer points of the health care debate.
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
guess they missed it, he already did. not for saying it was a lie, but for breaking the decorum.
of course the dims boo’d Bush just a short time ago. they musta forgot
And it’s the only two words that will be remembered from the entire speech! LOL!
Hey House Democrats: STFU or get voted out in 2010
Censure all the scumbag Neocoms who booed Bush.
Heckling a Republican or calling a Republican a liar will get you standing ovations.
OOoooohhhh... Not censure from Democrats!!!
The Horror!!!!
(Where do I sign up?)
FU Democrats. When are you people going to apologize for Charles Rangel’s tax problems.
Msg to Joe - In your response to the Dems, use two words and one finger -think “Phuk U” and the “Tall Man”
I say go ahead with censure. Lets bring it to the floor for a vote so we can debate about it.
Forever to be known as Obama’s “you lied” speech.
Wilson supporters to House Democrats: “bye bye”.
They aren’t talking to the GOP anyway, so what does it matter if they censure him? My vote is that he tell them to stick it, and take it like a man.
“Apologize? Well okay. I’m sorry for shouting ‘YOU LIE!’ to Obama. I’m very angry about the LIES, and am concerned that his LIES will be destructive to this nation, just as similar LIES have been in the past. But even though a LIAR is LYING to the American people, I should’ve shouted ‘YOU LIE!’ in a different setting, and let the LIAR continue his speech full of LIES uninterrupted. I’m soooooo sorry.”
Good enough?
If I were him I’d take the censure.
Drop Dead!
CA....
Suggested text for Joe Wilson (from the floor):
Madam Speaker - I attempted to make a direct apology for my breech of decorum, but the President refused my call. As far as I am concerned the matter is closed. However, if the Democrats in Congress wish to continue this discussion I offer the following -
I will apologize when the Democrats apologize for Booing President Bush from the floor of this very chamber.
I will apologize when the Democrats apologize for helping Code Pink gain access to the gallery during the SOU with the explicit plan to disrupt the President’s speech.
I will apologize when the Democrats apologize for calling President Bush a liar on the floor of the House.
I will apologize when the Democrats apologize for calling President Bush a liar on the floor of the Senate.
I will apologize when the Democrats apologize for calling Marines, Soldiers, Sailors, and Airmen Baby Killers, Rapists, and Murderers.
I will apologize when the Democrats admit the President, the Speaker, and the Majority leader have continually misled the country about their explicit refusal to exclude illegal immigrants from coverage under their socialist plan.
I will apologize when the Democrats admit the President, the Speaker, and the Majority leader have continually misled the country about their explicit refusal to exclude abortion funding from coverage under this plan.
I will gladly take to the floor of this chamber and apologize on my knees when even one of these things happens. I’ll be waiting for your call Madam Speaker.
Before the war, week after week after week after week, we were told lie after lie after lie after lie. - Senator Ted Kennedy Senate Floor Remarks October 16, 2003
Look who's deciding on whom to censure!
I'd love to see Boehner lead Republicans in showing video clips and reading excerpts from incidences of Dem behavior that is far and away more deserving of censure than those two truthful words that Joe Wilson shouted spontaneously in righteous indignation at a POTUS who did much more than Wilson to defile that Chamber, by lying through his teeth to the American people.
I guess that would be OK — right AFTER they censure Harry Reid for calling Bush a liar. He called Bush a loser and a liar. Apologized for “loser”, but refused to apologize for saying “liar”.
GOP had better man up and fight for Mr. Wilson!!
See, this is a prime example of why Republicans shouldn’t apologize. How does McCain and other Republicans who urged Wilson to apologize feel now? I understand that Wilson is a freshman rep and was probably nervous when GOP bigwigs forced his hand. But he should have still held his ground. Apologizing only conveys weakness and is just more blood for the sharks.
Chris Dodd’s old man Tom-Ass Dodd got censured by the Senate and it didn’t hurt his career any. The worthless relic hung on for what seemed like forever. He even showed up a few time sober.
When the Dem members boo’d Bush, I wonder if any camera grabbed Rahm among their number?
Accepted with pleassure and you are more a gentleman than I.
For what it's worth, that included Obama:

Fast-forward to about 45:55, and watch who appears in the lower left of the frame at 46:05.
Wilson is not a freshman, he’s been in the House since 2001.
For some reason Rush said that Wilson is a freshman, no idea where he got that from.
I don't know about Rahm, but Obama was clearly there. See my previous post.
Meanwhile, Saturday is “Cash Cow” Charlie Rangel “appreciation” day.

Rallying Around Rangel (What corruption?)

Indeed. He's already on record as having apologized, and censure would just make the Dems look more petty than they already are and it would give him an opportunity to go "on the record" about why he said what he did. The more the details are discussed, the more people will realize that he was right.
Dunno about cash...maybe $400K in pledges...since when is a Democrat’s pledge worth anything?
Here is my response to the democrats in Congress:
I am so moved by your attacks on this man that I just donated to his re-election!
Thanks for helping the Republican Party FIND a HERO!
Here is a link for YOU to donate:

He is a good man and he covers some of the most precious ground in the WORLD ... Parris Island, South Carolina!
OooRah!!!
Censured for telling the truth? The ACORN in Chief is a liar.
Upper US
McCain's only concern is that calling out liars might become more common.
Or maybe auctioned off for a good cause, with Rush's help.
A censure would also require a proper debate as to the truth of the remark and as to precedent for censuring for breaking decorum.
