… He has NOTHING to apologize for. I think he showed incredible testicular fortitude in calling it immediately like he saw it.

And not to mince words… The President, was lying through his pearly whites.. Native Americans used to call that “speaking with a forked tongue”…

Anyone who shakes hands with this President, better count their fingers after the exchange.

1. Call Joe Wilson and tell him he was right. 202-225-2452.

2. Call John Boehner and tell him he should support Rep Wilson’s comment publicly. 202-225-6205.

3. Call your Critter. Members numbers are here.

Considering how much the President and Democrat majority in Congress are looking to rape the American taxpayer, who’s really be “uncivil”?

Joe Wilson’s outburst was indeed inappropriate solely because of where it took place. Don’t forget – - just before this occurred Barack Obama called Sara Palin a “Liar” (Death Panel Comment). True to form, John McCain ducked back into the alley and allowed his selected VP running mate to be verbally assaulted. Where is the man’s decency? John McCain is such a disappointment – - He sadly is in self glorification and political preservation mode! What a shame!!

Mr. President,

I don’t beleive the talk that you’re a bald-faced liar on the issue of public funding for abortion and coverage of illegal aliens in the health bill before the House. If I may be so bold, I’d like to offer some advice on putting this controversy behind us:

Perhaps instead of simply accusing your opponents of misrepresentation, which is the rhetorical equivalent of “Nuh-Uhh!”, maybe you should simply point out the page and paragraph where these are specifically excluded. This seems like a fairly simple way to end the debate.

And, please, sir, until you can provide such information, I would respectfully suggest that you STFU on this matter.

Sincerely,

Next93

No apologies necessary from Joe. Maybe they all should have stood up and turned their backs to him instead.

Civility is exactly what radical leftist activists expect when THEY are speaking.

Just a minute dose of their own medicine brings on their cries of foul.

Bravo to Joe!!!!

Especially considering he couched in terms of the emotional. The Democrats like to bill us as unemotional and uncaring.

Obama was lying through that whole speech. He called people liars throughout it. He can do that but Wilson has to apologize for stating the truth? And threatening people to call people out for not supporting it? He played every card in his deck and was nothing but offensive, but that’s okay. He’s a Democrat.

And now, he has to make a follow-up speech? If this is the future of American politics, I’m glad I’m going deaf. As one of my friends said: “He sounds better on mute.”

Thank you Joe Wilson! I know you’re going to take some heat for this but I for one will stand up and say Thank You! If more House and Senate members would stand up and call the liars out, we wouldn’t be in this mess today (but then again, you wouldn’t have time to do anything else).
Where do I send my check for your re-election campain?

Wilson called the liar a liar, and apologized, while the liar continued to lie and would not apologize for his lies. Is that about it?

Civility is usually something I strongly support, but things have changed a bit since this scurvy crew of dedicated and devious leftists took over the White House. We’re in nothing short of a war to save our republic. Civility be damned. Cheers to Joe Wilson.

It was rude, but hey, that’s hardball politics. The Pres promised to call out people who spoke mistruths, then got called out himself. Ironic.

It will be interesting how this affects the dynamic. Repub voters, by and large, probably agree with the sentiment, if not the delivery of the outburst. Dems will be offended by the disruption, and will be hardened. I really wonder how the Moderates will take it.

In any case, it disrupted the intended dynamic of the speech. Just like Obama’s “racist cop” comment, this soundbite will be bounced around for weeks, but the content of his speech is already forgotten.

From the language of HR 3200:

SEC. 246. NO FEDERAL PAYMENT FOR UNDOCUMENTED ALIENS.

Nothing in this subtitle shall allow Federal payments for affordability credits on behalf of individuals who are not lawfully present in the United States.

If you were going into battle who would you want in the foxhole with you? Obama, Pelosi, Reid and the rest of the gang or Joe Wilson?

Personally I am pleased to finally see someone on the right actually stand up and say something rather than respectfully being quiet while lies are tossed around like peanuts at Fenway. Our elected officials were elected to represent our views, not to be doormats for the Messiah. Maybe his little outburst will provide some backbone that elected members on the right have lacked for so long.

As Evander Holyfield said, “Everyone has a game plan until they are hit in the mouth!” It is my hope that our representatives will finally get in the ring and start to hit Obama in the mouth. Then maybe we will see what happens when the teleprompter goes down.

I’m having trouble faulting Wilson. Someone needs to call Obama out and force him to acknowledge the facts publicly. Why does he get to stand on the podium and call Conservatives liars, but no one can call him one?

As for Decorum, wasn’t it the Dems who thought it was cute to procure seats for members of Code Pink during Bush’s speeches, knowing full well they were going to disrupt the event?

While not appropriate perhaps…. It is the truth..

Wilson for President. He forgot you’re supposed to go along with the charade and not say what everybody knows.
It seems some Repubs want to chastise him as well, jellyfish !

I was disappointed in Rep Wilson’s outburst last night — though honest, it was a breach of the vey civility we need to recover if we are to put this county back together. Right sentiment — wrong setting.

That said, my respect for Rep Wilson has increased esponentially as a result of his apology. Contrary to title of this post, his apolgy did not utilize the standard Washington non-apology “Sorry if anyone was offended” formula most recently employed by Van Jones — he honestly and forthrightly admitted his error, and his regret. As a result, I’m heading over to his campaign site to make my contribution right now, and encourage all others who feel the same way to join me — he is precisely the type of representative we need in Congress.

If you or any of your staff should happen to read the comments on Moe’s post, may I suggest you study some tapes of the British “Questions for the Prime Minster.” I believe it would help you discern ways in which you can make the procedurally required apology without apologizing for the actual content of the remark that necessitated the apology. Your comment, whether an emotional outburst or not, was in my estimation, entirely the correct one as it was, how is it they say on the other side of the aisle, oh yes, ‘speaking truth to power.’ While it is true that there is a minimum level of civility which must be maintained in order for the work of governing to take place, I personally find the most uncivil behavior exhibited by politicians and lobbyists is the behavior of lying about the facts of a given situation. Those who do must be held accountable so that we may once again establish civility in our places of public discourse.

Though he was right, and I’m not “outraged” by the outburst, I do think that there are more appropriate venues for such things than when the President is speaking (even if said President is, in fact, a liar). That he apologized for his behavior, and not for being wrong, made it an apology that I can get behind, as he was absolutely correct in his sentiment, even if his expression of said sentiment was unpolished.

setting the tone of his speech by calling Republicans liars, I think he got what he deserved. I do wonder how Pelosi handled herself after calling Pres. Bush a liar?

… oh, how I wish.

when they booed Bush in 2005 when he mentioned SS reform in a speech to Congress. To me, Wilson’s apology shows most on our side have more class than any Dem can hope to muster.

Even though he was right.

This is the United States; after that clear conclusion, our country should not involve itself in the political horse@!#% of other countries as the author demonstrates with the added link. We are the leader in the world and must be the beacon of light in which the world can follow. We cannot continue as a beacon of hope for the world if we cannot talk about healthcare, torture, or anything without the civility of being a responsible human. The fact that this article doesn’t condemn that outburst is a joke and continues to disregard the commonality that we as Americans should share. Now, if you disagree with the president that’s fine, there are plenty of people who do, but to go call the president a liar is bull@#$%. He is the president of the United States; you do not disrespect that office plain and simple. There is a difference between a lie and a disagreement; one involves reason, civility and facts. Now that “lie” pertaining to illegal immigrants, well it turns out isn’t a lie, please read the healthcare bill, in nowhere does it say that any non-citizens will get any kind of care. There are more important things to talk about like, the cost; the size of government; the eventual decrease in private insurers and the effect that it would have on jobs, the economics of private companies (that are legally bounded by law to make as much money as possible) having to compete with a government entity that doesn’t have to deal with shareholders; taxes; or even just the general opposition of democrats. Stop bickering like children its pathetic and lead the way.

P.S. Everything I have said are based upon facts, no one can argue with facts, but you may argue with my beliefs.

and I mean that. Obama IS a liar. Too damned bad if the Daily Kos and MoveOn are offended by somebody having the cajones to say it in public. It SHOULD be shouted, and often, and by Republicans at every opportunity.

Every time Obama opens his mouth he issues a stream of s–t that even an IBS patient on laxatives would find improbable, were the evidence not right in front of him. And we need to keep pointing it out.

Screw civility. We don’t get any from them; so why do they think we owe them any? Stop saying “I’m sorry.”

So what? I am also tired of needless apologies being handed out where they aren’t warranted. Joe Wilson was right to call out the TOTUS as the liar that he is and wrong to apologize for it at the behest of the softies in the GOP.

I’m tired of playing nice-nice with the left as if it would ever help our cause. John McCain proved that being a nice guy when it comes to the left nets you zero election wins.

Joe Wilson will make a little campaign cash off of this episode and that is good. I will donate to his campaign as well because I think that he is a stand up guy for conservatism. In the end, I don’t think that he will need it because I believe that the true conservatives will roll through the November 2010 elections with impressive wins.

The left will gain a little steam from this episode. It will be short-lived though as the new will wear off of the TOTUS’ little campaign performance and all that will be left in the end are the perpetual lies and overused democrat campaign talking points that we keep hearing and have already seen debunked. The democratic party is the party of lies and deceit. Nothing new there now or evermore.

Although he was a Democrat, I’m fairly sure Preston Brooks has the title.
