GOP Behavior: Boorish And Un-American (Humongous Barf Alert!!!)

Anyone who watched Wednesday night as President Obama explained his health care reform proposals to Congress saw a chief executive making what sounded like a genuine appeal for bipartisanship — and his opponents behaving like a bunch of spoiled first-graders. Obama should ignore them, even if they hold their breath until they turn blue.

House Republicans were particularly ostentatious in showing their disrespect not just for Obama but for the office he holds.

The outburst by Rep. Joe Wilson of South Carolina — who shouted "You lie!" when Obama said his plan would not cover illegal immigrants — was only the most egregious display of contempt. Rep. Eric Cantor of Virginia, the House minority whip, fiddled with his BlackBerry while the commander in chief was speaking.

Other Republicans made a show of waving copies of their own alleged reform plan, which isn't really a plan at all.

And Rep. Louis Gohmert of Texas waved hand-lettered signs at the president, as if he thought he were attending one of those made-for-television town-hall meetings rather than a solemn gathering of the nation's highest elected officials.

Throughout the speech, there was grumbling, mugging and eye-rolling on the Republican side that was not only undignified but frankly un-American.

This idiot Robinson needs to be reminded when the demonrats applauded their own obstructionism, during President Bush's 2006 SOTU address

Cant stand this yahoo. Watching his crap on Morning Joe, I want to sock him in the mouth.

As opposed to Pom Pom Pelosi? The only thing she didn’t do was a couple of High Kicks and the splits. Guess we didn’t cheer their messiah properly?

Pray for America and the March

That mental image made me throw up in my mouth a little. Please don't do that again.

Good Lord, is that all these mouthpieces have?

It was inappropriate when the RATS booed in 2006 and Wilson should know to NEVER follow their example. They’re always wrong.

[Kaslin]

Indeed. Also pray for the people in her district to finally see the light and vote her out in 2010

[cripplecreek]

King George thought we were boorish too, look how that turned out.

[goodnesswins]

BAAAWAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!....read my tagline. Eugene...you are an IDIOT on the PLANTATION!

[pray4liberty]

Dems booed President Bush enmasse and we didn’t hear a peep about disrespect for the office then, did we?

Really?

Roll tape...

Obama:Some of people’s concerns have grown out of bogus claims spread by those whose only agenda is to kill reform at any cost. The best example is the claim, made not just by radio and cable talk show hosts, but prominent politicians, that we plan to set up panels of bureaucrats with the power to kill off senior citizens. Such a charge would be laughable if it weren’t so cynical and irresponsible. It is a lie, plain and simple.

It's like shooting fish in a barrel demonstrating over and over again how wrong these people are.

[skully]

Being called un-American by an American hating libtard is quite comical. Maybe someday we'll take you liberal idiots as seriously as you take yourselves.

[popdonnelly]

Obama is not the first President to be called a liar. These folks who are freaking out about this are deranged.

[Kaslin]

Of course not. They are all hypocrites

[PhiKapMom]

Think this guy has a lack of brainpower with some of the crap he writes.

Respectful, civil, I get that. But when we are expected to be "solemn" in the presence of a politician, I want to start spray-painting the letter "A" in a circle.

I never read Irritable Bowel Disease Editorials anyway.

Let’s see ... Joe Wilson told the truth, and he gets grilled and pilloried ...
Obamaloon, thug-in-chief lies thru his teeth for an hour and he gets a pass ...

I think anarchy, as messy as it would be, might be preferable to the farce we are living under now.
