Here is audio of Rush Limbaugh saying he wishes Joe Wilson had not apologized for yelling "you lie" during Obama's speech. Rush said that he was right and that it was a "blatant lie" and "Joe Wilson simply articulated what millions of Americans were saying." (Watch Video)

I agree...what he should have said was, “Prove me wrong”
As I said on another thread I think Joe Wilson should apologize “I’m sorry Mr. President that you are a liar”.
That should do it.
I agree with Rush.
I agree 100%.
But I think someone probably informed Wilson that his opponent in the upcoming election was receiving a boatload of money from across the country. Meanwhile, the GOP was criticzing Wilson for telling the truth.
Ganged up on by the Left, and abandoned by his own party, I think Wilson made a pragmatic decision and apologized.
It would have been better if the other Republicans in the audeience had done a "Spartacus" and joined in the heckling.
Note that it was the Republican Leadership who asked him to apologize. I think they’d worry about decorum as they were pushed into the tumbrels.
Hopefully, Wilson will make a TV appearance or two are say ‘hey, I’m right, but I shouldn’t have said it like I did’. I think Thomas Sowell already called Zero a liar, so Wilson wouldn’t be breaking new ground.
Once again, history has spoken, despite Obama's machinations to control the debate.
Joe Wilson was my hero...until he apologized. He spoke the truth but lacked the courage to stand tall. We need people who stand tall!!!!
I agree but Rs always have to apologize.
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.
He went from Hero to flat tire with one apology. Heroes don’t back down under pressure.
Me too!! NO APOLOGIES....ILLEGALS WILL GET FREE HEALTH CARE.
No they don't. They CHOOSE to. I don't understand them.
>>No they don’t. They CHOOSE to. I don’t understand them. <<
Yes they do.
Right now, everyone in America is looking at Joe Wilson as being contrite. And all of us have been in the position where we have said something we “regretted”.
He didn’t apologize for the words, he apologized for the outburst.
Now he is not seen as “Dissing” the Pres, but rather as someone who reacted harshly because he couldn’t help himself.
Illegals already get free health care. Obama lied.
There is no requirement to prove citizenship before you can receive care. Obama lied.
>>Heroes don’t back down under pressure.<<
Don’t blame him.
Blame the GOP that pressured him.
If you boss told you to apologize, you would too.
I would too.
This is why the conservatives never win.
We eat our own.
He didn’t apologize for what he said
He apologized for the interruption.
>>It would have been better if the other Republicans in the audeience had done a “Spartacus” and joined in the heckling. <<
Amen!
