Joe Wilson (R-SC), patriotic American: done apologizing, now he fights back


A couple of days ago Barack Obama gave a speech for which he had demanded a prime-time joint session of Congress, an occasion nearly always reserved for national emergencies or extraordinary times. This session was called merely so Obama could mug in front of the cameras and deliver a bitterly partisan invective in hopes of shoring up badly sagging support for the unpopular Democrat proposal to force a government takeover of the health care system.

Congressman Joe Wilson (R-SC) famously shouted “You Lie!” from the floor of the House Chamber as Barack Obama propounded yet another lie in a speech crammed full of insults toward mainstream America and lies about himself, his virtues, and his political opponents. While Wilson immediately apologized for his incivility and lack of decorum (not for the substance of what he said, which warms my heart), the damage was done, and most headlines featured dual storylines - the regal president and the uppity congressman.

Joe, I salute you, my brother!

Lefty outrage has been predictable, and we on the right have noted the partisan media’s typical convenient memory. Democrats were utterly boorish in their treatment of Bush, far, far beyond what Wilson did, and with less, if any, justification. Now the left and their media lapdogs have made a point of smearing Joe Wilson (the newest revelation? Caffeine junkie, much, much worse than our coke-snorting president) and driving fundraising efforts for his 2010 opponent. Apparently that guy has raised some $700,000 in the last 2 days (mostly needed to retire some $400,000 in debt). Meanwhile, RedState and other New Media have rushed to Joe’s support, both editorially and through campaign donations, and he’s raised over $200,000 himself to add to his existing $200,000 war chest.

Unlike spineless frankfurters like Trent Lott and George Allen, Joe is done apologizing and now he’s fighting back. Follow the jump…..

RedState brothers and sisters, we have more power than we used to have. Nationalized health care and cap-and-trade are on the ropes because New Media and regular Americans have risen up to fight this takeover. Racist America-hating punk Van Jones is out of the White House because the New Media forced him out (with no help whatsoever from the partisan majority media). We’re going after ACORN too, which you KNOW is very near and dear to Obama’s heart and is instrumental in his electoral strategy. They are a big, big, difficult adversary, but just watch this play out and keep speaking your mind about it.

Now we want to make sure that Congressman Wilson is covered. He exposed himself to Left’s anger by actually speaking truth to power (to steal a lefty meme). It is our job to come to his assistance. If we let him fall, no other conservatives will speak out and America will get steamrolled. If we cover his back, then many other conservatives will be emboldened to speak out and take political risks against the Chicago Machine.

So use the tools you have and get in the fight:

  • Write diaries, here and elsewhere.
  • Comment on websites and blogs where our opponents reign.
  • Tweet on Twitter (use @CongJoeWilson). Be sure to use #tcot. Point to his FB Cause with this: http://tinyurl.com/knlqm7 , and donation site: http://tinyurl.com/nawdw9
  • On Facebook, link your diaries to your wall, and join his Cause and his Fan Page)
  • Donate to his campaign here.

Now House leadership is moving to propose a censure against Joe Wilson if he does not apologize on the floor of the House. Does that anger you?

Then fight back.

Censures & Apologies

Castor Friday, September 11th at 1:58PM EDT (link)

If the house really had to censure someone it should be Pelosi for her vicious lies about the CIA .
As far as apologies are concerned it is Obama who should apologize to the American people for all of his lies from day one.

you lied..t-shirts, etc.

So let me get this straight. . .

Joe Wilson stands to be reprimanded on the floor of the House for a momentary outburst that, while true, was a lapse of decorum.

Meanwhile, in the same august body, Charles Rangel can engage in longstanding, calculated fraud and yet continue chairing the committee that creates the laws he has violated.

Let the Democrats censure you and then wear their meaningless censure as a badge of honor. Never apologize to that feckless waste of botox Nancy Pelosi. Better yet, tell her that you’ll apologize just as soon as she and everyone of her Defeatocrat minions go the floor of the House and apologize for every fowl word they ever said about President Bush.

Never apologize to the liars in congress or the white house. You have nothing to apologize for, you spoke the truth!

Keep up the great work !

My wife asked "who is Joe Wilson" last night.

nessa Friday, September 11th at 2:47PM EDT (link)

I chortled with glee, my wife has always had some leftward leanings but through the natural progression of life in the real world, exposure to me and, by her own admittance, her finding Obama “creepy” she is beginning to see the light of conservatism. This was another opportunity for me to highlight a political issue for her.

So I explained his calling the annointed one out on the floor of the house, the fact that Joe was right and Obama did lie, his rapid apology, the fact that he apologised for where he called the organizer in chief a liar, NOT the fact that he called him a liar and then broke the news that I had emailed and called his office to thank him for doing for me what I only wished I could do for myself. Oh and I slipped him a little campaign contribution at the same time. Now it was my wife’s turn to chortle, “you’re a dork”, was her response, quickly followed by “you can give him another $25 from me. Obama is a liar!”

What a wonderful woman.

I mailed off a contribution this morning and I too wish I could have sent more. Tried also to call his office and give him an attaboy, but his number’s been busy every time. He’s apologized and that’s enough. Think it’s great that he only apologized for the lack of decorum and not for calling Obama out. Joe Wilson deserves everyone’s support.

Well, that 50 bucks *had* been earmarked for Rubio but...

considering that

a) the Democrat Media has decided to make a big hairy deal out of how much his opponent has raised because of his ‘rude’ remarks’;

b) it was nice to see a Republican finally have the stones to say what needed to be said (hmmm…was that as bad as John Lewis saying the GOP wanted to starve children from the Well of the House?); and,

c) the utterly ashen, horrified look on Nancy Pelosi’s botox-laden face was worth at least twice that much,

I figure Marco will understand (’sides…he’s got more coming from me :-)

Leftist outrage is predictable and frankly who cares? They don’t care a whit when conservatives, republicans, whoever opposes them get the shaft publically by the President, Pelosi, and rest of that cabal that call themselves ‘true Americans’. I watched them treat Bush like trash when he was President, and now they are horrified when someone actually calls them for who they are….. liars. They deserve whatever they get. They made the rules…. or the proverbial “bed” ….. , “now they can lie in it.”

not only makes people feel all warm and fuzzy, it’s “green” because the stock shown is non-biodegradable. It also comes in handy after your five rounds are spent if you don’t have time to reload.

Unless your Mini is clean and well maintained, going rapidly through a couple of thirties is hard to do without something going wrong. That’s the knock on the Mini and the AR and it’s relatives versus the AK. You can pick an AK up out of the mud and it just keeps on firing. The AR and Mini like to be cleaned and well maintained.

All Joe Wilson's sites are "down"

Just_Saying Friday, September 11th at 8:40PM EDT (link)

Have been trying to contact Representative Joe Wilson in support ever since the speech — all his websites and links are “down” (just get a general biography — even at the house.gov sites).

Don’t know if Pelosi and the Dems have the power to shut his government website down, but they should not. How can his constituents reach him?

I was able to get on a campaign website for Wilson to give a donation. Hope it’s legit and goes to him…

JOE: THE CONGRESSMAN

rrlandis Friday, September 11th at 9:59PM EDT (link)

I am grateful that someone had enough courage in congress to shout the truth. I believe (and hope) this trend will increase. I have stated before and will state again that I STRONGLY BELIEVE that “THE ONE” is using congress to pass his agenda. I believe his desire once his CZARS AND INFRASTRUCTURE are in place, is to dismantle congress. He will have no need for elected officials to oversee the responsibilities that will be overseen by his CZARS.

This parallels the new constitution as it appeared in the Center Magazine, September-October, 1970. Constitution for a United Republics of America: A model for discussion, Version xxxvii (1970). This article was addressed by W. Cleon Skousen. “What the Newly Proposed “Model” Constitution Would Do To the U.S.A.” From Law & Order, April 1971. “Crisis In America - Do We Need a New Constitution?” PLEASE SEARCH FOR THIS AND READ IT.

 

Dirty Trick!

rokinlamb Saturday, September 12th at 4:02AM EDT (link)

I don’t have much, but I must help this man. He did NOTHING that he should have apologized for.

I typed “joewilsonforcongress.org” on my computer bar and expected to see a page asking for my support for Joe Wilson. That is NOT what I saw. I almost got duped into clicking on the button that says “show your support for healtcare reform this year”, but thank goodness I caught the garbage in time.

You try the page and see what you get. What I got was
http://www.healthreform.gov/

That’s another dirty trick you’re trying to pull, obama!

 

LIAR IN CHIEF

benrush Saturday, September 12th at 7:08AM EDT (link)

Congratulations to Representative Joe Wilson of South Carolina. You should apologize for unpleasant conduct on the House floor only if Barry also apologizes for lying to all Americans. That will set the record straight. Only this week ,subcommittees in the house are trying to write language into HR 3400 that prohibit government paid abortions and free coverage for illegal aliens. How many counts of perjury does that make ? Not to mention ALL the rest. Joe, you were a naughty boy, but correct and you said what many people felt. Most of us are very proud of you. Barry is a LIAR. Of course, liar used to describe Barry demeans the word. He is beneath the term and it use actually elevates him. He is more vile, disgusting, obscene and treacherous than humanly possible. New words will have to be created to accurately describe Barry, which will apply only to him. He is far worse than any epitaph in the English or any language.

The dems can generate $700,000 for Wilson’s apponent in this economy!
You can bet ACORN or SEIU have secretly transferred Stimulus money to the fight. I would like to see an audit done as to where this money is coming from.

BTW, Census Bureau has severed ties with ACORN...

According to Drudge report just posted this morning. This latest deal with the ACORN worker fiasco must have been the tipping point. Man…this just keeps getting better and better :-).
