Here is video of South Carolina GOP Rep. Joe Wilson speaking to the press today about his shouting "You Lie" at President Obama last night during Obama's Health Care Speech to Congress.
Wilson indicates he called the White House and apologized, and said the White House told him they needed to have a civil discussion on the issues.
Wilson then explained he did what he did in the heat of the moment: "It was spontaneous." He also explained he was particularly upset by the fact Democrats had twice defeated amendments to legislation that would have barred illegal immigrants from being covered by the bill. So, when Obama said no illegals would be covered, Wilson shouted "You Lie." . . . (VIDEO)

Spontaneous?
You mean he isn’t part of the “vast right-wing conspiracy”?
He isn’t receiving his marching orders from far-right talk radio hosts and insurance companies?
Imagine that!
And “spontaneous” = honesty
The bell cannot be unrung. Wilson was right.
What line of BO’s last night made people in the audience laugh like Rush said today? Anybody know?
It was inappropriate in that venue. I guess he just got so exacerbated by Obama’s lies that it just popped out. It happens. I laughed...
Joe was playing the role of “voice of people watching at home”.
It was also true. Truly spontaneous.
B.O. :"And while there remain some significant details to be ironed out, I believe -- (laughter) -"
Exasperated--that's putting it mildly. I think he just forgot where he was. I understand--I was sitting there during the speech, yelling "Liar!" at the TV.
Something about “need to iron out some details..”.
Wilson could have been a national hero for conservatives, had he told republican party pansies who demanded he apologize to go to HE**! Unfortunately, like most republicans, he caved and apologized to a Chicago thug and America hating Marxist for the unpardonable act of TELLING THE TRUTH! Nevertheless, I donated to his campaign fund. I suggest others do the same. Perhaps a few hundred thousand dollars will clue in the brain-dead in the republican party.
That laughter speaks volumes about the corruption, duplicity, and knowing fraud in the room.
