'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."

McCain should aplogize for intentionally losing the 2008 election so his friend 0bama could be President.

That’s right, I said it! McCain threw the election!

I voted McCain/Palin. My conscience would not allow otherwise. He never had a chance anyway. I hope everyone is correct in getting America back in shape.

Kiss my ass, McCain.

You lost the election by defending the Doper Islamo Commie Kenyan.

Show patriotism--get your skin OUT of the game.

Retire, John; go play Solitaire, you Manchurian loser.

I will choose to disagree with him, I will not choose to attack his honor. I am disappointed with his statements regarding the administration, I will never be disappointed to his service. Thank You

Makes me wish Preston Brooks was still around so he could beat not only McCain with his cane, he could lay a few smacks on Barry, as well.

Perhaps if McLoser had the same stones, he might have won.

There was 0bama using the speech itself to call those who dare challenge him on his LIES(as they are actually documented and proven!), as ‘liars’. If anyone should apologize it is 0bama for his slanders. He has made a mockery of the presidency by running a dictatorship seeking to silence dissent with vicious lies and demonizations. Bring it on. And conservatives need to leave the GOP. There cannot be tolerance for people like McCain any longer. Conservatives need to rally to support Wilson. He is a hero and it is time to hold the Demonrats to account. Facts do not support them and the ignorant need to be informed.

I have already LEFT the GOP!

These spineless idiots are the very cause of what we now have sitting in the White House. McRINO himself, quit his campaign to vote for the first Bail-Out mess, and independents went over to ObaMao because McNuts showed no economic sense or ability. Palin was left to hang by the SRM while the campaign was side tracked. (Commie Katie Couric/Brian Williams interviews.)

I DO hope Arizona will do us all a great service in 2010 and end this pathetic Senator's career, permanently!

McCain said it was "totally disrespectful" and that there was "no place for it in that setting or any other. "

Or any other? So McCain thinks the president should be allowed to lie with impugnity and never get called on it? I thought we lived in a representative republic, not a dictatorship.

Please Arizona, dump McCain. Ever since his Keating 7 involvement, the demwits have owned him because they have the dirt on him.

Let’s all remember that Benedict Arnold was a war hero as well.

Example 99,463 showing why John McCain is part of the problem, not part of the solution.

," while McCain said it was "totally disrespectful" and that there was "no place for it in that setting or any other."

I think Wilson was right.

There is no honor in politely losing the Republic, to obama.

If obama, is within 4 hours of Roswell, NM.I will be the guy in the audience waiting for a quiet moment to call him a liar...and then engage him in debate.

The time for politeness, is over.
