Glenn Thrush provides some historical background on Democrat disrespect to a sitting president during an address to a joint session of Congress.

Of course, this tool then proceeds to claim that Rep. Wilson's reaction was "worse" because of Wright's Law - all criticism of Hussein Obama's policies is based on racism and is personal.

I strongly suspect that Barack Obama was told “You lie!”, because he was lying, has lied, and will lie again.

“You lie!”, our new death panel. Thanks Joe!

[Da Coyote]

What part of “Lie” was untrue?

Obama can kiss my Obama.

He’s slime mold.

He’s below the septic tank.

He sucks green Pelosi eggs.

Someone should do some research on previous joint sessions in history and if there were any vocal disagreements with the presidents.

I have to believe from history that those sessions had to be more raucous than today.

And ther is plenty of video of those events...

Then this idiot apoligizes. What a bunch of crap!

[CPT Clay]

Hypocrites, I thought so.

If he had said, “That’s not true” it would have been more akin to the treatment Bush got.
But saying “You Lie” is a direct personal attack - a bit different.
Even though he is the Liar-in Chief

[what's up]

I think it's because Congressional Republicans have used the health care debate to vent a deeper, uglier contempt for Obama that verges on the personal.

They've done little to discourage the party's fringes from questioning Obama's legitimacy to serve through the birther movement

Really? So it was never ugly or personal with Bush, eh?

So the Dims discouraged their party's fringe from going on for months and years about Bush's illegitimacy because of "stealing the election". Why, Mme Sec. herself made reference to Bush's illegitimacy only a couple of weeks ago.

Pfft. What nonsense.

Moreover, Obama's claim that illegal immigrants won't be covered -- which sparked Wilson's outburst -- while technically accurate, doesn't quite tell the entire story.

The entire story COULD have been told by our side but good ole' McCain chose not to when asked on The Today Show whether the claim was accurate. A resounding NO was all he could muster, which insures future invitations to get face time.

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

Did he ever apologize?

I left my thoughts on the Politico site re this article and among the things I said was the following:

Would the outcry from the loony Left be any different id Wilson had stood and shouted, instead of “Liar”, the word “Prevaricator”?

I think not.

[diamond6]

Why do people always apologize when they speak they’re mind. Geeshh!!!!!

[Buckeye McFrog]

I regret the loss of decorum, but our side didn't start it. Those who are grievously offended need to check out video of British Parliament in session and then grow thicker skins.

[petitfour]

I notice in this article that the Democrats booed President Bush over the Patriot Act renewal. And have they repealed the Patriot Act yet?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Liberals are, by definition, hypocrites.
