After he called him a liar he should have called him out! "Fill your hand, you lying son of a bitch!"

By LAURIE KELLMAN, Associated Press Writer Laurie Kellman, Associated Press Writer – 24 mins ago WASHINGTON – A South Carolina Republican lawmaker shouted "You lie" at President Barack Obama as he addressed Congress on Wednesday. The congressman later apologized for his "lack of civility."
In his speech in the House chamber, Obama was telling lawmakers that the Democratic plans for health care overhaul do not cover illegal immigrants.
"The reforms I'm proposing would not apply to those who are here illegally," Obama said.
"You lie!" Rep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C., shouted from his seat, jabbing a finger in the air.
In a statement, Wilson said later that he regretted the incident.
"This evening I let my emotions get the best of me," Wilson said. "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."

Sent Joe a good contibution...You go guy
BTTT for Joe Wilson! Re-elect this guy!
definitely nice to see a member of the GOP finally show some gonads. It probably was a little inappropriate in that setting, but tough sh!t. Now if he’ll just show as much fervor in eplaining how he lied in the next few days. he should be asked at least once or twice
bttt
Wouldn't it have been wonderful and remarkable if the entire GOP had stood up and yelled "You lie!" I get a tingle up my leg just thinking about it.
I always thought our Congress could be a little more like The British House of Commons (in it’s roudyness/debating style); this may be a good 1st Step to bringing the Tea Parties inside the Halls of Congress~
Thanks for all you are doing Jeff!
I think the words of Thomas Sowell sum it up best:

The idea that government officials can play God from Washington is not a new idea, but it is an idea that is being pushed with new audacity.
What they are trying to do is to create an America very unlike the America that has existed for centuries— the America that people have been attracted to by the millions from every part of the world, the America that many generations of Americans have fought and died for.
This is the America for which Michelle Obama expressed her resentment before it became politically expedient to keep quiet.
It is the America that Reverend Jeremiah Wright denounced in his sermons during the 20 years when Barack Obama was a parishioner, before political expediency required Obama to withdraw and distance himself.
The thing most associated with America— freedom— is precisely what must be destroyed if this is to be turned into a fundamentally different country to suit Obama’s vision of the country and of himself. But do not expect a savvy politician like Barack Obama to express what he is doing in terms of limiting our freedom.
Van Jones = Frank Davis = Bill Ayers = Bernardine Dohrn = Jeremiah Wright = Tony Rezko = Rashid Khalidi = Valerie Jarrett’s = Raila Ordinga = Carol Browner = Rahm Emanuel = Henry Gates = John Holdren = Rosa Brooks = Eric Holder = Ezekiel Emanuel = BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA
This is who the man is. A cauldron of corruption, greed, marxism and communism...who is detroying the free market and fundamental republican principle as we speak in his bid for "fundamental change" and to replace it all with a marxist command economy built on the ashes.
Appolgize and laugh all the way to the bank hauling your contributions behind you. You go guy. It was the best part of the “speech” for me/

Truth hurts. Never apologize to a Marxist POS.
Wilson should have called Cheney for advice when McCain demanded an apology.
Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
I bet Joe clarifies his comments and apology tomorrow. He will say it was an inappropriate forum to call the President a liar but what the President was saying was not truthful.
LET THE GAMES BEGIN AND LET THE PUBLIC DEBATE CONTINUE. The Dems will lose on this one.
Here’s hoping!!!
*his name is obozo, because he’s nothing more than a pathetic Marxist clown.
Hopefully tomorrow he will outline all the damnable lies obozo has been spewing and then explain how easy this all could be fixed with:
1. Tort reform
2. Cracking down on fraud
3. Allowing companies to freely compete across State lines
If it's kept simple and allow the free market to function and get gov’t the hell out we would be in very good shape.
