The normally nonchalant Barack Obama looked nonplussed, as Nancy Pelosi glowered behind.
Surrounded by middle-aged white guys a sepia snapshot of the days when such pols ran Washington like their own mens club Joe Wilson yelled You lie! at a president who didnt.
But, fair or not, what I heard was an unspoken word in the air: You lie, boy!
The outburst was unexpected from a milquetoast Republican backbencher from South Carolina who had attracted little media attention. Now it has made him an overnight right-wing hero, inspiring You lie! bumper stickers and T-shirts.
The congressman, we learned, belonged to the Sons of Confederate Veterans, led a 2000 campaign to keep the Confederate flag waving above South Carolinas state Capitol and denounced as a smear the true claim of a black woman that she was the daughter of Strom Thurmond, the 48 segregationist candidate for president. Wilson clearly did not like being lectured and even rebuked by the brainy black president presiding over the majestic chamber.
[Snip]
Even if he and the coterie of white male advisers around him dont choose to openly acknowledge it, this president is the ultimate civil rights figure a black man whose legitimacy is constantly challenged by a loco fringe.
For two centuries, the South has feared a takeover by blacks or the feds. In Obama, they have both.
The state that fired the first shot of the Civil War has now given us this: Senator Jim DeMint exhorted conservatives to break the president by upending his health care plan. Rusty DePass, a G.O.P. activist, said that a gorilla that escaped from a zoo was just one of Michelles ancestors. Lovelorn Mark Sanford tried to refuse the presidents stimulus money. And now Joe Wilson.

It's racist to call me a liar when I'm lying
This is BS, straight-up!
Someone pass me the vomit bag.
Oh_Bummer, eat puke, I guess we are suppossed to lay down in the road for your train of commies liars and crooks to run us over for the rainbow of BS you shovel.
Nah, rise up America, get rid of the czars, Pelousy and all of these nut bags who want your money. Most all peoople I know who voted for you are sad they did, no Honor, no commitment, just commie lies..
This is a Maurenn Dowd thread. Where are the pictures of Catherine Zeta-Jones?
This article goes to show just how nervous the left really is.
Here I am..
Joe should have a crew set up a screen in the chamber of congress and show a tape of the boos that were shouted at Bush during his State of the Union Address. Then, he should demand that THEY apologize. As a matter of fact, I think there was footage of Pelosi booing along with the rest of the dems.
Two words you will not find in this phony rant:
1. “illegal”
2. “immigrant”
Obama said illegal immigrants will not be covered by his health plan. Wilson, rightfully, called him a liar.
The Dowdy One said Obama’s not a liar, but rather, Wilson’s a racist. But she doesn’t mention the lie, or try to defend the lie in any way. She just states flatly that Obama didn’t lie.
But he did.
So? How harsh is the penalty for being a racist?
Is it any worse that having this lying usurper as _resident?
Oh the horror of it all!
Where are the films of Pres. Truman sending illegals back to Mexico in trains during his administration??
The problem with conservative protests is the libs don’t take them serious, they are too civil. Perhaps they need
to surround congressional buildings etc. to get the libs respect.
Let’s see here:
1) Getting to keep the health insurance you have — False
2) Illegals being excluded from health coverage — False
3) No Death Panels — False
4) Van Jones a victim of a smear campaign — False
5) The stimulus is working — False
6) The recession was caused by Bush — False
7) And the list of Obama’s lies and cover ups goes on...
If everything that comes out of one’s mouth is a lie that makes one a liar. Come to think about it, I think there’s a medical term for that kind of mental pathology only it isn’t coming to me right now.
“But, fair or not, what I heard was an unspoken word in the air: You lie, boy!”
Maureen, you ignorant,racist slut, if this is what you thought, then of COURSE this is what you heard.
YOU heard.
Isn’t that special.
LIARS LIE. That’s what they do. ...as you have so emphatically proven with this irresponsible and insane column.
White people.....*shakes head*
Proof ... the elites on both sides make it a point to live in segregated communities...
You Lie Girl would have been much more fitting.
Personally, if I had a way, I'd provide her with a soapbox that could reach every single person in this country.
Behold, the Democratic Party in all it's glory...
When I heard Maureen had written this....I thought SKANK.
I don't want their respect. I want them crushed. Defeated. Scattered to the four corners. This is war. The time for negotiation and diplomacy are over.
Sorry Dowd,NYT’s,MSM,and all other farleft/socialist/communist asshats that infest America.
The racist card is dead. You over played it by a mile. No one cares anymore. You aren’t even trying to refute charges that the people are making anymore, you simply shout racist and assume everyone will slink away. Too bad for you because that ship sailed. Obama is a lying sack of crap. Obama is trying to destroy America as we know it. You can call us any name you want and it will not change those facts. And it will not stop us from exercising our rights as Americans to speak out and defend this Nation..
Well, considering that it was Maureen Dowd and and New York Times, I'd say your statement was redundant.
Isn’t she just a big miuth whore?
He's a public servant, and I don't give a flying f*ck what color he is...he's a liar, a thief, a coward, and a traitor, just like every other Democrat, and we're gonna boot his Marxist ass out of office the first chance we get. And then, we're coming after you....who call yourself the press.
maureen dowd. you lie.
Funny thing is, all this time it has worked.
IMAGINE the looks on their faces when they regroup in tony cocktail parties in Georgetown and the Upper West Side, and, daintily holding their Cava and brie on swiss crackers, and talk in amazement amongst themselves that, out in flyover country among the peons, "it...it...it isnt WORKING this time!""
Maureen, it’s not Congressman Wilson’s fault if you’re hallucinating.
And this paper’s managers wonder why they’re failing financially?
Obama called Republicans objecting to his Marxist plans liars in general. Wilson called him a liar specifically. Neither should have used those terms during the address. Nevertheless, Obama is a bigger liar than Bill Clinton ever was.
When do we start using “the l-word”?
But, I'm down for any excuse to post Catherine Zeta-Jones photos. HooYa! Watched The Mask of Zorro last night!
Basically this Freeper rule derives from the fact that Michael Douglas was dating Maureen Dowd when he met and married Ms. Zeta-Jones. So the rule is that on any Dowd threads pictures must be posted of Ms. Zeta-Jones. This thread doesn’t have too many pics, since Dowd’s name is not in the title. If you search on Dowd’s name you will find enough pictures of the lovely Catherine to lighten your heart!
So is the dumb-azz Dowd trying to belittle or reaffirm the Southern(National) concern over 0's grab at our freedom?
These idiots are still stuck on Wilson. His supporters raised nearly a million dollars for him. Sorry, but we are moving on NY Times. Wilson made his point and he apologized. Anyway, we all know obama is a liar. Wilson just had the guts to say it. Next..... (victim of the left’s smear campaign)
Maureen Dowd, hearing things that weren’t said. She needs to check her meds.
Kenyan! You lie!
Fair or not, what I heard was an unspoken word in the air: You lie, bitch!
What a daffy dame. Oh dear, now mo will think I am sexist for calling her a daffy dame.

Perfik!
The sad thing is that Ms Dowd takes herself seriously, and considers her pile of steaming excrement as serious thinking.
It was a funny read, though. A perfect caricature of the unhinged left. Except that it was real. Which is what made it so funny, I guess.
I have said this before: there are many beautiful women in the world, some quite as beautiful as Catherine. What makes her special is that she always looks HAPPY. This is what draws us to her, male and female. It seems there is not a mean or bitter bone in her body, and even when she’s trying to look sultry, you know it’s just a pose. Whereas Maureen . . Oh, Maureen, of course you are lonely and bitter; no man is attracted to resentful, nasty, faultfinding speech and all the other ugliness you spew.
As if the color of the president’s skin matters when I get my paycheck, or when I think about Hillary going to China and telling them that if they’ll fund us with money we’ll continue to sell their goods, or remember how Barack told us he was born because his parents hooked up in Selma in 1964 - even though he was born in 1961.
Give me a break.
Brainy black president? Brainy?
He couldn’t write a thing for the law review, he never wrote an academic paper when he was an adjunct professor at a law school, he misuses words and he has atrocious grammar. Not brainy.
But, fair or not, what I heard was an unspoken word in the air: You lie, boy!
Geraldo did his best last night to make race the reason for Wilson’s outburst. What a stretch! Huckabee and Coulter pretty much told him he was all wet. oBUMa IS a liar and Geraldo IS all wet.
