"You Lie!": Rep. Joe Wilson Shouts to Obama during Speech
http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2009/09/09/gop-rep-joe-wilson-presidential-heckler/ ^

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:

Listen to yourself for a minute. You’re not making sense.

It will only make Wilson look bad to the rest of the liars.

If you see the lying for what it is, you don’t mind calling it a lie.

Get it?

Think he’ll hit on his radio show or hold it for the tv show? Any guesses?

I have no idea. I was running errands this afternoon and only heard bits and pieces of his tv show. I never get to hear his radio show.

I just made a $200 donation to Joe to keep standing up in a state that I hope to retire to some day.

I’m sure every little bit helps.

I first called the first number on Google and it was some poor woman who was getting thousands of calls. I apologized and figured that I would not be able to get through on his office line if I were more careful about getting the correct number. So I faxed my thank you to his office.

Spot on post if there ever was one!

The zerrhoid and his enablers are running what’s left of the country off the rails and into the ditch and McInsane is defending the zerrhoid?

I’m typing this and hearing Wilson indeed apologized?

UGH! Like a punch in the stomach!!!!!

Say it ain’t so Joe!

That wasn’t a moment of your emotions getting the best of you pal...

THAT was a moment of CLARITY!

In the words of McCainiac...

I think Hussein was telling the truth that immigrants won’t be covered under the plan. By the time the plan is implemented there won’t BE immigrants; everyone who breaks into America will be citizens just ‘cause they’re here.

Also, he said that the proposal “would not add a single dime to the deficit”. He’s wordsmithing. Of COURSE it won’t add a single dime; it’ll add trillions of dollars.

Everything he says is true; you just have to think in an evil way.

One lone, small voice boldly speaking the truth can sometimes breach a damn of pent up outrage over a government run a muck. I hope this is it.

Sort of reminds me of that fellow in Tienanmen Square who faced down the tank!
