'You lie': McCain says Wilson 'should apologize for it immediately'

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Democratic leaders are calling on Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) to apologize for heckling President Obama as a liar.

Wilson shouted to the president "you lie" after Obama said illegal immigrants would not benefit from health insurance coverage from the reform bill. Obama glared disgustedly in the direction the remark came from, as did Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Vice President Joe Biden.

House Democratic Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.) called Wilson's outburst "embarrassing," while McCain said it was "totally disrespectful" and that there was "no place for it in that setting or any other."

McCain said Wilson "should apologize for it immediately."

Hey, McCain: YOU should apologize...for not being Sarah Palin. In other words, someone who doesn’t kowtow to the Leftists in power.

Barry was busy calling Senators and Congressmen liars for opposing his dream bill

Not only that, he questioned their motives, said they were lying to stop reform. Would that upset McCain?

McCain said Wilson "should apologize for it immediately."

First I looked to see if this was from the Onion. Then I checked to make sure it was not from AZ Conservative.

Then I came to my senses and realized it was MeInsane that said this!

WAY TO GO REP. WILSON! Do not back down!

McCain should apologize for calling himself a Republican.

Did Obama apologize to officer Crowley when he called officers across the nation, STUPID???

Maybe they should go to the White House lawn and have a beer.

So.....Obama says that anyone who says there are "death panels" is lying.....and that's OK.

But if someone says Obama is lying, that necessitates an apology?

Except Obama did lie.

HR3200 says no illegal immigrants. Except there is no enforcement provision whatsoever.

***************************************

Have to admit, this is very clever.

If what you’re saying is true, Leftists can point to the language and say Patriots are lying.

Patriots would have to then explain that without enforcement, anybody can get it.

I should read next bill in it’s entirety.

I hope this thread does not get locked so there are some good comments made in support of Joe Wilson's voice of the truth.

When will we hear McCain step up with the smallest amount of courage and speak the truth. He did promote himself as that man of courage from the Hanoi Hilton. Has his time down in the public trough with the Rats turn him into one too?

EXACTLY.

Mission accomplished.

He is lying. That’s the point. And everyone is actually saying that word: “LIAR”.

Zero spends a week programming his teleprompters for this fiasco - his media is all briefed on the talking points. And it’s gotten away from every single one of them.

POINT: WILSON.

Well, I’m not sure what you said, but I’m sure it was justified!

That being said, McCain and his fat, stupid daughter need to retire from public life and just drive the beer trucks.:)

Does McCain expect us to believe that the congress of the United States still has some shred of a vestige of a hint of a claim on decorum and respectability?

I guess he is brain dead.

Go Joe!! Tell it!!

John McCain does not realize that he is an in-joke among many of his “colleagues”. He thinks he is the great statesman, who will repudiate and scold his own party when he deems it necessary.

Has he ever noticed that his “great statemanship” is rarely reciprocated when the situations are reversed? Has it ever occurred to him that his “colleagues” count on him as That Useful Idiot, that insecure old man who so desperately wants to be liked that he will debase himself to do it?

He’s no statesman. He’s sad, and he stands for very little if he’s so easily willing to cave in to avoid harsh words and raised voices.
