I hate to say this, because I know Mr. Wilson is speaking the truth, but this is only going to make the GOP look bad.
If he wants to call the President a liar, he should have held a press conference outlining the exact wording (or lack thereof) to show the inclusion of illegals in it. Now, it makes him and the GOP look bad and the media is going to continue to support the Zero and use this against dissenters.
I agree. Not the venue for that.
I would have to disagree.
These are unusual times and we need to speak out, ALL OF US.
If this passes the United States, as you’ve known it, is gone.
Please support this man, America.
We desperately need fighters—those who are willing to stand out.
Everyone says there looking for someone to lead on the right.
Well, they’ll have a tough time if every time they dare step out of line we shoo them away in disgust.
What a shame it would be for him to not get the support he deserves for speaking out.
This is not everyday America, folks. We are in the fight of our lives right now.
Oh, and it already looks good? This is a bare knuckles, no holds barred for the soul of America and you object to the Senator’s very true and passionate belief.
Shame on you!

I agree, but..... If he wants to call the President a liar, he should have held a press conference outlining the exact wording (or lack thereof) to show the inclusion of illegals in it.
And his press conference would be roundly ignored.
However, consider this: Joe Wilson calls a press conference to "apologize". And he does, for being "disrespectful".
But, not before quoting the Congressional Research Service, which confirms that Obama did indeed tell a lie.
The media can't ignore that.
Hold on a minute.
Who says he won’t give a statement to the press?
I heard the press is already trying to a hold of him...give him a chance.
This is a pub’s chance to stick it. How about McCain calling for an apology?
If anybody ever had doubts about McCain know now where is comes from.
The media will continue to “support” odumbo even if he were to sacrifice children and fluffy kittens on live TV!
I'll tell you why you're wrong. a liar needs to be confronted when he blatantly commits it. Did the Ø not receive numerous standing ovations in support of his lies? People are hungry for a courageous voice that will stand up to all this bilge. I think we'll find the effect of this outburst to be refreshing.
Why are you ashamed of a man who spoke the unvarnished truth? It's about time somebody called the bag-of-hot-air currently occupying the White House for what he tells. With those two words Wilson cut through all the platitudes. He's the only man who had the courage to speak the truth. Never be ashamed of the truth.
He doesn’t look bad to me. I am sick and d*mn tired of the GOP sitting on their *sses and allowing the Obama lies to go unchallenged.
Sorry, Bush and McCain already did that.
We need people with the b@lls to call a spade a spa...um...er..ah...tell it like it is.
Obama started his speech by calling every Republican a liar and they all sat there and let him do it. The republicans ALWAYS look bad, no matter what they do.
Joe Wilson made me proud! The GOP does not speak for me, they won't stand up to the liar in chief. Joe Wilson did.
Yeah, he did make the GOP look bad. There should have been a round of applause from the right side of the chamber when he said it. There wasn't. So the GOP looked bad. Shame on the GOP for not booing when Obama called them all liars and for not cheering when Joe Wilson called Obama a liar.
No, what has made the GOP "look bad" is for them to sit by and allow the left to get away with telling lies.
The POTUS was standing there calling our side liars. If it's ok for him to make those charges in that place, then it is certainly ok for Congressman Wilson to call him on his lies.
No, you are wrong. They need to know that we aren’t playing nice and polite anymore. It gets us nowhere. Finally someone with real balls.
You’re going to take a lot of heat and flaming for that post but you are 100% correct.
Tough.
I think it’s great. If congressional pubs would get more rowdy, maybe they wouldn’t get steamrolled left and right.
What difference do you think it would have made to the Obamabots if Wilson had held a press conference after the speech instead of uttering two words during Obamasiah’s speech? Exactly zero (interesting how that matches Obama’s personality) It does not matter to these loons what members of the GOP do or say in response to Obama’s agenda to move the country to socialism. That’s been proven time and time again. Conservatives are villianized - including conservative Democrats - regardless of anything we say or do. Wilson lost nothing IMHO, and, after Obamasiah’s plans go up in flame, I believe Wilson’s words will carry the day.
I'm disgusted to say this, the GOP has looked bad since at least last June for not shouting out against this Socialist Obamanation at every oportunity!
Any respectful candidate should have refused to appear at the same venue with this evil spawn of envy and subversion.
Those like Joe the Plumber and Joe Wilson have to speak from the common gallery at inopportune moments just to have the truth heard.
Listen to yourself for a minute. You’re not making sense.
It will only make Wilson look bad to the rest of the liars.
If you see the lying for what it is, you don’t mind calling it a lie.
Get it?
