Specter wants Wilson censured
Sen. Arlen Specter (D-Penn.), who's looked at POTUS from both sides now, was just on the Bill Press radio show suggesting the South Carolina firebrand Joe Wilson be censured for his heckle heard round the world.
Said the Republican-turned-Dem:
"He apologized immediately afterward but I don't think that’s adequate... If an apology is the consequence of an outburst I think we can expect more – that’s not a sufficient penalty that’s not a sufficient price to pay.. I'm not saying the guy should be kicked out of the House… But there ought to be some rebuke, reprimand, censure -- something that will discourage that kind of conduct in the future. If you do that to the President, it's open season."
Earlier on his show, Press spoke with House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn (D-SC), who said Wilson should "man up" and apologize directly to Obama -- or that Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) should mea culpa the White House on his behalf.

The democrats think they have an issue, but all they’ll end up doing is reminding everyone over & over that the president’s a liar.

Joe Wilson...just saying what the country is thinking...and our reps are afraid to say.

Under Scottish law Wilson was within his rights.
Spector, of all people, should know that.

Before Wilson is punished for telling the truth, Obama should be punished for the lies he was/is telling that aroused Wilson's righteous indignation.

This would be a good line in the sand. Tell Specter to whistle, that the GOP will take care of its own matters without the advice of turncoats.

This is ridiculous! After re-reading Obama’s speech, I found at least six times where he either used the words, lies, or untruths. On one occasion he said, “it is an outright lie.”

Obama must be mad. This is taking on a life of its own. All the Obama apoligists are focusing on Wilson. It is distracting people from Obama’s speech and plan. It can’t bode well for him.
To: stephenjohnbanker
While he is at it, why doesn’t he have Pelosi censored for saying the CIA “lies” all the time. These bastards are unbelievable with their bigotry.
