And just called Juan MeCain State Media's USEFUL IDIOT!

[sport]

I wish that he had not either. If it had been me that said that, hell would have been frozen over for a long, long time before I would apologize for telling the truth.

[Stand Watch Listen]

At first I thought his apology was that it was not the right place, the lack of decorum. Not an apolgy of the two words.

Then again, it is a teachable moment and Joe Wilson should just invite Obama over for a beer and discuss the stupidity.

....And the lies!!!

[ReneeLynn]

His constituents are his boss. Not these wimps.

[Atom Smasher]

I agree, I wish he didn’t apologize either...I understand it was for the sake of decorum in that this was not the place to shout that out...but that never stopped the dems from making their noise whenever Bush spoke.

I am sick & tired of this double standard hypocrisy with these dims!

I also think about the fact that the pubbies have requested audiences with zero & been denied entry to the table...so perhaps this was the only way the Repubs could CALL HIM OUT!

That does constitute a fine line, though I personally think the interuption was justified, also. This imposter deserves none of the respect normally granted the office-holder. He does not love America. He does not like regular Americans. His affinity is only towards non-constitutional governance and control of the populace whom he considers rabble.

[mad_as_he$$]

Wilson blew a teachable moment.

[DogBarkTree]

While we are at it why dont we apologize to Saudi Arabia for 911. Disgusting.

[Stand Watch Listen]

It would have been better if the other Republicans in the audeience had done a "Spartacus" and joined in the heckling.

..........I'm Joe Spartucus Wilson!!!

[freestyle]

I think this one is tricky. You don't want to make it easy for opponents of truth to try to change the focus... They do this all the time. We spent at least a solid week having to respond to the "angry mobs" template.

The "outburst" WILL (and is being) spun as uncivil when, IN FACT, just at the beginning of the paragraph that ended with Wilson's "you lie" shout, The President of the United States clearly inferred that Sarah Palin is telling "lies"... "lies plain and simple" he said from the PODIUM on the floor of Congress.

In the end, I feel the president and the msm lose the argument... But I feel that we risk taking the argument back in a sort-of repeat of what we've already moved past... and that is, that "angry mob" distraction tactic. There is STRONG forward momentum going right now where people are realizing that they need to check into the President's WORDS... I don't want this to cause *any* conservative, republican, democrat, whatever to get distracted (for any amount of time) by what amounts to, at worst, a singular argument about bad decorum (the President's from the Podium, or Joe's from the seats.

I think Joe Wilson should be supported and not thrown under the bus. He's right, he is a representative of the people and he clearly was a vessel bringing the outrage the people have about being called liars and actually being lied to by the president.

“Joe Wilson will have so much $$$$$ he won’t know what to do with it.

Anyone who sends a check would be smart to copy it and send the copy to his/her own rep. Include a note stating that your cash goes to the Reps with the backbone.”

Excellent idea, Mom.

And here’s an addition to it. If your rep has shown backbone, send a check made out to Joe Wilson, and ask your rep to forward it to him. This will show our good reps that we reward the outstanding ones.

With regard to that grand canyon of a mouth thats draping open on Pelosi...I can’t believe that she could be that shocked, like she’s appalled at such behavior!

[TexasCajun]

[WHBates]

He just verbalized what everyone knew and were thinking themselves. If that weren’t the case there wouldn’t have been a big deal raised about it by those trying to protect that empty suit.

[Halls]

Me to! I’ve been made or made myself apologize for things I didn’t want to, we all have.

[Girlene]

lol, kitkat.

[justa-hairyape]

Apology wont undo the damage that was done. Obama melted right after that comment. You could hear it in his voice. Just like when that hammer was thrown in that 1984 MAC commercial and the screen shattered. They wont be able to put it back together again.
