'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."

No way he should apologize. I am going to send his campaign money immediately.

Here is the poster I plan on carrying Saturday in Washington, D.C.:

I just sent a terse email to McCain at the Senate Web site. He and all the other Republicans that were there should be the ones apologizing - to us.

Can’t get through to Wilson’s House of Reps Web site.

Mr. McCain, go wee wee yourself.

[FlingWingFlyer]

That’s why I’m so confused as to why he resigned.

[sport]

He don’t speak for me either. I suppose that he speaks for the people of Arizona. They are the , to use the term loosely, people who elected him. And probably will again if he runs.

For McCain, Twitter is what you do when it is time for more than wetting your pants in fear.

That is the line of the day (still laughing) and really sums up the man in terms of his senatorial career.

I was asleep, dammit.

SHADDUP, MCCAIN!!!! *@#>$+%^ RINO!!!!!

Just read the article. Seems Wilson buckled after all and did apologize. He shouldn't have done so. He and McCain should have taken the opportunity to state why Obama was lying to the people. I see no reason to be civil to a liar.

“While I disagree with the president’s statement, my comments were inappropriate and regrettable. I extend sincere apologies to the president for this lack of civility.”

From a protocol perspective, McCain is correct.

Oh, to hell with this so-called protocol and comity crap! This was just a policy speech, for crying out loud.

Watch this STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS!
Fast forward to 45:54 - 46:16!
Also, take note of the person in the lower LEFT (no pun intended) corner for a face you may all recognize.
Listen through to 47:00 minutes to hear how a real leader responds.

Did the asswipe call on EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE BASS TURDS TO APOLOGIZE?

Send Chris Simcox a campaign contribution, instead, and get McCain out of the Senate!

that graphic has has teeth. nice job. hope to see it at the convention.

[Iron Munro]

He should have just given the standard liberal style apology:

“I would like to say that I am sorry if my statement offended anyone who misunderstood what was said or anyone who is too stupid or uninformed to know that I am correct and Resident Obama is wrong.”

[Rosemont]

McCain never misses an opportunity to run out in front of a camera and denounce a Republican.

“McCain and other Demorats ..”

Stick with it Wilson. You’re the only one in the room with a pair.
