WASHINGTON – In an extraordinary breach of congressional decorum, a Republican lawmaker shouted "You lie" at President Barack Obama during his speech to Congress Wednesday.

No, our Congress is not the British Parliament, but I like a man who speaks the truth in just a two words - and the ENTIRE world heard him!
Joe Wilson in 2012!

QUOTABLE QUOTES
" Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." –
CS Lewis
He spoke the truth but didn't have the balls to stand by what he said. He ran right out and apologized to Rahm Emmanual, of all people. Ever remember a leftist apologizing to GWB or Cheney? Not surprisingly, the weakling RINO John McLoser turned on his fellow Republican. Just watch what the left and the MSM do to this guy.
You are correct Spidey.
I shutter to think of the 'accident' that awaits him.
I should also add, Spidey - his 'apology' carries as much weight as Bill Clinton's or any Kennedy.
IOW - protocol.
And because I won't have time to post tomorrow (duty calls) - I sent Stinky Hoyer a little email suggesting he not censure Mr. Wilson for speaking the only true words heard in Washington the entire evening. Here's the auto-reply (Tal about liars!):
Dear Mr. [Jimbo],
Thank you for taking the time to share your opinion. I believe citizen input is an essential part of the democratic process, and I value hearing your thoughts.
Due to the volume of email I receive, it may not be possible to personally respond to your comments. However, please be assured that your opinion will be read and considered by my staff.
I would also suggest that you share your opinion with your local member of Congress. You can do so on their individual website or on the official House website.
Sincerely yours,
Steny H. Hoyer
Joe Wilson may be the only person in Congress with some balls. I understand why he called to apologize, he broke protocol, but he did so speaking his mind.
Let's add Joe to the list of Pres. and VP possibles for 2012.
And by the way, screw protocol.
Geez Jimbo, that response is so personal. Are you all wiggly inside?
It was rude to call him a liar on the floor of a joint session of congress.
Of course it was also rude to show up 15-20 minutes late.
Supposedly, Pelosi said last night, that she didn't know who yelled, and would not move to censor when/if she found out. We'll see how that plays out...
I didn't see the speech but I would have said "You lie" after MaObama said extending health care to all Americans would not mean insuring illegal immigrants.... plus 100 other things. He DOES lie. Biden was embarrassed because Wilson told the truth.
i wouldnt have shouted .. i would jus throw up a little bit in my mouth
Don't throw up. Swallow.
The balls of Pelosi!
What? They have no sympathy during a healthcare sermon for a man who was obviously suffering from "acute transient Tourette Syndrome".
I forgot to add, I was feverish, that dozens of Dems must have FORGOTTEN that they openly booed GWB during a State of the Union Address several years ago.
It’s a fine line, of course, between booing and yelling what you believe to be the truth IMHO. But then again, Bush was a “C” Student, stealer of office, rich kid, frat boy, and Obama is “The One”.
I guess a Messianic figure should get preferential treatment.
(I gagged a little writing that)
