Barring a last-minute apology to Congress, Republican Rep. Joe Wilson of South Carolina faces what is likely to be a partisan vote scolding him for shouting "You lie!" at President Barack Obama.

What hypocrites. Did they rebuke themselves for booing George W. Bush during his SOTU speech in 2005?
Republicans need to start standing up and saying that obama is a liar, a disaster, a treasonous SOB and that this country is being destroyed.
I would like the GOP to come out and explicitly support the 10th Amendment movements, support state sovereignty, and work in favor of a grassroots effort to drastically weaken the federal government.
I think the gloves need to come off.
Every republican in the house must stand with Wilson in the “well”, should Pelosi be arrogant and stupid enough to demand he go there. (And she is certainly both!) It would be a huge win for the party and far more importantly, for the American public, further exposing Hussein as the liar he is.
Oh good grief get over it, hypocrites.
Censure all the bastards who treated Bush like crap.
Any words of support from affirmative action stalwart Michael Steele?
Are the rest of the So Called Republicans going to stand with him?? THEY HAD BETTER AS WE ARE WATCHING this circus and travesty.
The RNC should put out a video of RATS who were allowed to call Bush a liar with impunity.
Wear any “rebuke” proudly.
Hypocritical clowns.....
You mean the child, not the emperor, of course!
Joe is tough. He can take it. he’s not the ass...they are!
I agree with you 110%. They should stand with him. Oh my God...what a statement that would make but alas...I doubt any one of them has the guts!!!
The media didn’t see a million protesters on 9/12. Maybe the media will see 40-odd Republicans standing alongside Wilson as the House issues a censure.
I have seen several ‘suggested apologies’ on FR. The dims are hypocrites - they have allowed Rangels’s financial problems to continue for about a year - nothing from the ethics committee on that. Plus all the times Reid called W a liar. It makes the congress a bigger joke than ever.
A partisan vote like this means exactly nothing and everyone knows it.
Joe Wilson should wear it proudly like a badge of honor.
I wish he was my Congressman> Go JOE Go!!!
They should continuously show a clip of him saying it, along with all the other Dems that stood on the floor calling Bush one.
Joe Wilson for President in 2012!
He’s becoming a national name and will be even more so if the lizards rebuke him.
Obama became a national name with just one little speech at the liberal convention.
Wilson became a national name with just two little words! Wow!
And if the lizards do rebuke him, he’ll have lots of new opportunities to wave that little piece of paper to crowds if he goes national on the promise to stand for honesty and transparency.
He could well become the big eraser for all the speeches Obama makes.
Besides, if Obama lied to congress, that’s a crime all unto itself.
