President Barack Obama’s address to Congress this evening was moving along fairly smoothly until he pledged that there was nothing in the legislation that would provide health care to the millions of illegal immigrants residing in the nation.
A cry of “You lie!” was audible from the Republican side of the aisle. The Associated Press reports that the heckler was South Carolina Republican Rep. Joe Wilson.
“It’s not true,” the president responded to the outburst, while House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, seated behind the president, offered her mother-of-five glare towards the Republican side of the chamber. First Lady Michelle Obama was seen shaking her head from side to side.
While lawmakers may have become accustomed to that kind of language during the contentious town hall meetings in August, Wilson’s outburst was uncommon for a joint session of Congress, where decorum usually reigns.
A spokesman for Wilson did not immediately return a request for comment.

He joins a growing list. Most recently black economist extraordinaire Thomas Sowell:

I’m looking.
No, what has made the GOP "look bad" is for them to sit by and allow the left to get away with telling lies.
The POTUS was standing there calling our side liars. If it's ok for him to make those charges in that place, then it is certainly ok for Congressman Wilson to call him on his lies.
It’s going to kill the speech. No one will remember the speech when this is done. All they’ll remember is that Holy O droned on and on until a lone voice cried out, “You lie!”
Bingo!!!
I second that motion! Bingo.
She wasn’t shaking her head in disapproval- she was looking for her beer.
Jail is pretty damning. Who might be goin’ to jail is up for grabs. Under the bus we have become familiar with but not jail. This may not have anything to do w/Van Jones who was behind the boycott of Glenn. I haven’t been to Walmart since they quit Glenn.
I can’t tell you how over Mc Cain I am. He is on my list of most detested POS’s in DC. I voted for that sorry sack of sh*t only because or Palin and to vote against the Marxist.
You can bet the farm that the press will attack Joe and you can also bet that the press will never check the facts.
The truth means nothing to the press.
Their critera is based on one thing andone thing only: Deoe it advance the cause of Socialism.
Another wussy Republican.
I had high hopes for Joe Wilson, but he just burst that bubble.
I guess he won't be getting a donation from me after all.
Indeed!
Palin/Wilson 2012 NOW
PKM, any idea who Glenn Beck may be intimating that is going to jail? It may be singular or plural...
Ping to #18
“McPAIN ought to apologize to AMERICA for screwing up so badly that this OBOZO IDIOT got ELECTED...”
the Presidential Money..the Money that wants this bill...merely realized Obama was a better shot to get it thru than McPain was....make NO mistake...the GOP RINO crowd would cram this down our throats in a New York minute if they thought they could get it done...
he had Scott Baker from Breitbart on his radio show today and they eluded to something..then he said something again on his Fox show..... it’s driving me nuts... I wanna know what to expect.... I hope it is big and not just a video of another czar being an arse...(that’s not much of a stretch...they all are!)
No, you are wrong. They need to know that we aren’t playing nice and polite anymore. It gets us nowhere. Finally someone with real balls.
I hope you're right! Great post!!
Whoa!!! I wonder what time it will be up. It’s going to be a long night. I’m waiting for it. TY for the info.
Thanks for the ping. I will check it out. Hmmm...the link is up now... going over to read around. Thanks again!
Well on his show earlier he gave a real quick peek into whatever he’s hiding.
It was about a five second blip of a video that had a black woman on camera, her face was blurred out. There were other people in the room and someone with a camera.
It looked like someone sitting at some kind of interrogation table but that’s a guess. The blurry faced woman was sitting at a plain wooden table, I’ll say this.
Someone in the room said “You’ve got a client” and that was the end of it.
So it’s something actually caught in a video but neither I or anyone on the Glen Beck thread could fathom what it was all about.
To Hell with McCain, that effin’ RINO-traitor needs end-of-life counseling.
