Wilson's outburst made him instantaneously famous — a scourge to many, a hero to some.
Wilson's congressional Web site crashed and hundreds of calls started flooding into his office.
Other Republicans criticized Wilson, a onetime aide to the late Sen. Strom Thurmond who also served in the South Carolina General Assembly before he was elected to Congress in 2001.
Sen. Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican, scolded Wilson without mentioning him by name.
"Our nation's president deserves to be treated with respect," Graham said. "It was an inappropriate remark, and I am glad an apology has been made."

Lindsey ping!
During Obie Trice’s helf care speech, the camera cut away to Linsey Graham and he was caught in mid-clap, all supportive of Obama— until he noticed the camera was on him, then he transitioned the clap into rubbing his palms together!
Linsey’s also light in the reeboks, light as a sprite! Boo-yah!
Speak Truth To Power.
This is just what Wilson did.
Is a good thing, right?!?
To me, the best part is that this will be half of the news tomorrow because no one really cared about Obama saying the same old lies.
If the branches of government are supposed to be equal, why does the congress stand in respect when the president enters? People don't stand for an equal.
These people are suppose to be public SERVANTS, they don't deserve our respect, instead they have earned our contempt. The dems need to be swept from office along with the GOP traitors especially McCain and Graham.
This will be the news and the guy was right to finally speak out and tell the truth. Im very disappointed that he then bends over and lets McCain and Graham, et. al. shove a broomstick up his ass for doing it. I’m disappointed that he apologized, not for calling the magic negro a liar.
I am too ,if it was turned around a Republican President and a Democrat Yelling, the News Media would report The Comment and Then Launch into whether the President was actually Lying .
If that were to Happen Now ,And it wont, the People would find out that there is NOTHING stopping Illegals from accessing Health Care under the Democrats plan Because they Voted Down ammendments Put forward By Republicans which would require Identification before receiving care ,So the Man Is A liar.
Oh yeah, I saw that sign but the bottom graphic on the screen blocked it. What does that say?
I believe: “What Bill?”
Its ok he apologized..that takes the steam out of the Dems attack on him and focuses back on his comment!
Pelosi and Biden had no idea who Wilson was.
There were looking at a seating chart like school marms ready to scold a child. hehehe
Lindsey Graham is pathetic, he is finished as a Republican for national office and thinks people care about his opinion.
...with all of this hulabaloo about Wilson, it is clear that it is Obuambi that called the GOP liars...several times...including a defensive slap at Palin.
F the President...I suppose I’m still aloud to critique him.
Exactly! I am upset myself that he felt the need to apologize for it. That’s what got us into the mess we’re in now... not speaking up. They are OUR servants. OUR employees. If you had an employee that did a lousy job, you wouldn’t just sit around and let them get away with it. We’ll be heading up to Washington tomorrow and one side of my sign states “Kings and Queens You are Not, You ALL Represent US!” You’re right, he isn’t a king.
The Rats are offended that Wilson called Obama a liar just after Obama called Republicans in general, and Sarah Palin in particular, liars.
If some Dem had yelled at Bush during a state of the union speech he would be lionized for it.
I’m happy someone finally spoke up to the liar in chief. This is what we need more of in my view. Graham and McCain’s ideas of being civil mean being silent while this country gets ever more screwed by collectivists.
I have more respect for Barney Frank than I do for Lindsey Graham.
At least Barney represents his constituents. Barney would not have called for an apology, he would have rushed to defend a fellow Democrat.
He simply apologized for incivility, he most certainly did not concede on whether or not what he said was true. In fact, in his apology he framed it as he and Obama “disagree”. So his apology was effectively “you are still a liar, but I apologize for saying it out loud to your face in front of the nation”. And it doesn’t matter anyway. Cat is out of the bag, lots of people agree with Wilson, and when he is vilified and threatened by the Left, people will see even more clearly what sort of thugs Obama and his cohorts are.
