'You lie': McCain says Wilson 'should apologize for it immediately'

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Democratic leaders are calling on Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) to apologize for heckling President Obama as a liar.

Wilson shouted to the president "you lie" after Obama said illegal immigrants would not benefit from health insurance coverage from the reform bill. Obama glared disgustedly in the direction the remark came from, as did Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Vice President Joe Biden.

House Democratic Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.) called Wilson's outburst "embarrassing," while McCain said it was "totally disrespectful" and that there was "no place for it in that setting or any other."

McCain said Wilson "should apologize for it immediately."

What do you wanna bet that those death panels will ALSO make decisions re: who lives and who dies based on those elders that just happened to donate to ‘other’ than the DemocRat Party. Hell, they’ll probably have everyone’s internet info, banking info, and gun ownership info, as well. When it comes to fascism, they’ll make the Clintons, with their 900 FBI files on their opponents, look like rank amateurs.

McCain should apologize for his lousy campaign, and for wasting Sarah Palin’s talent. “

Not only that, Mccain should apologize immediately for the McCain/Feingold bill, which ended up with 0bama raising by far the biggest amount of cash ever raised by any presidential candidate.
Hey, McCain, we are still waiting..for that apology.

No, what's embarrassing is that Joe Wilson is the only one in the whole place who had the courage to stand up and call a lie a lie.

John McCain should be ashamed of himself. The "disrespect" is by these leftists toward our founding principles and the freedom loving people of the United States of America.

John McCain is aiding and abetting "the enemy within".

McCain just stood there and took it in the rear as Obama said over and over and over that all his critics were liars.

Joe Wilson simply didn't think it was polite to call him a liar while asking for bipartisan support.

Someone had to let Obama know he's an idiot, and it was done. Obama is, after all, an idiot.

So is McCain.

Good post. When the rest of us say something that isn’t so we deserve to be corrected, and duly criticized for either being lazy or deceitful. Obama is a liar and I’m ‘calling him on that’.

It’s McCain that should apologize for running as a conservative. He’s the one who lied first!
