NPR ^ | 9/10/2009 | NPR

The two words said -- shouted, actually -- in the Capitol last night that are getting much of the attention this morning are "you lie!"

His outburst was disrespectful, but wasn't too different from what I have heard in recordings of the English Parliament. He needed a slight talking to, but not a punishment. He spoke from the heart and I can't blame him for that.

A REAL poll would ask:

Do you think Obama is a liar?

Thank you, we have already counted your vote.
Yes 55% (2,788 votes)

No 45% (2,313 votes)

Total Votes: 5,101

does the ‘we have already counted your vote’ mean this one wasn’t counted and I’m only getting the poll update?

Civility is not partisan until it is a one way street. Until Bush 43 I never heard an elected member of Congress on mic, call a President a liar. A lot of words meaning that were used, but not the word Liar. Teddy Kennedy from the floor of the Senate, during Abu Graib called Bush a liar and it escalated with time.
At no time did I hear anyone call for condemnation for the use of the word from the media. Now an illtimed outburst of emotion is condemned and the media pounces. No wonder I’ve become uncivil.

NPR references a piece at the infamous and disreputable www.politifact.com (see: http://politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2009/sep/09/joe-wilson/joe-wilson-south-carolina-said-obama-lied-he-didnt/ ).

It's possible that Politifact is correct sometimes but I doubt it. In this they are simply disingenuous. The fact is the Obamabill (HR 3200) does not amend, supercede, or rescind current law regarding providing care to illegal aliens at public hospitals.

Ergo, by omission Obamacare provides medical care to illegal aliens.

Politifact lies. Obama lies. Democrats (in general) lie. NPR lies. Angie Drobnic Holan lies. Bill Adair lies.

I thought Pelosi already said that she wasn’t going to sanction him?

He has already punished both himself and us—in his apology!

Joe Wilson brief hero/wimp in reality!
What can one expect from the de—generations of the hippies, dopers, and baby boomers, etc.

The heroes—the Pattons, MacArthurs, Audie Murphys, Chesty Pullers, John Waynes, etc. are gone—what you see is what you get!

Are Ron Paul and Paul Broun the only real men left in the HR???

Made the Congress seem more like Parliment.

Give what Wilson said an empirical test (is Obama a liar?)

Deduct 5 points for bad manners. That is all.

I think they changed it. Before you could vote multiple times.

I had to replay the video to watch Nazi Pelosi’s face. Priceless. I’m still cackling.

Thanks for reposting the link to Joe’s donations page.

Every Freeper should send him something. Even though he apologized (based on protocol) I’ll bet he’s happy he called out Obama.
