"You Lie!": Rep. Joe Wilson Shouts to Obama during Speech

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:

Hey Joe... Washington, Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and the rest of our founders were having a great celebration in Heaven... up until you apologized for yelling out the truth.

Maybe they found the finger biter and the finger biter snitched on who sent him to agitate at the union rally for HC? Finger biter was in California...assault = jail. I’m just guessing on that.
To: Jabba the Nutt
How about the finger biter? Maybe that was a union or acorn attack.
To: BigSkyFreeper
He is not in the tank for Obama. He probably put it there to get conservatives fired up and to make people seek out the facts, to see if it is indeed a lie.

“I extend sincere apologies to the president for this lack of civility.”
“lack of civility” why I could just puke.
Communists are so civil. Ruining this country is civil...
Arrrgh!

Another 'polite' Republican heard from. How about taking up a collection to send flowers to 0bama to smooth his ruffled feathers?

I get really sick of the pretense surrounding these non-events. Doesn’t seem to matter what party you belong to, the only people jerking off to the bimonthly teleprompter reading are the newschannel pundits.

I agree. The whole idea that his opponents are spreading “myths” while he is giving God’s own gospel is itself a lie.
He says there are no “death panels.” Well, what would you call a group that decides if your cost/benefit ratio is worthy of spending money on?
He was calling his opponents liars.
Joe Wilson showed guts and courage.

Tough.
I think it’s great. If congressional pubs would get more rowdy, maybe they wouldn’t get steamrolled left and right.
