How nasty has the political discourse in Washington gotten? During his speech to Congress tonight, President Obama defended his health care plan, saying that he had never proposed providing coverage to illegal immigrants. “You lie!” shouted Rep. Joe Wilson, a Republican from South Carolina, prompting Obama to briefly pause in the delivery of his speech and eye his heckler. No doubt emotions are often heated during these joint sessions with the president and members of Congress, but decorum typically rules—except for tonight, apparently. In an interview with CNN afterwards, Sen. John McCain trashed Wilson’s heckling and urged him to apologize. “Totally disrespectful,” McCain said. So far, no comment from Wilson or his congressional office.

Respect is not assumed, Senator McCain. It is earned. Obama does not have my respect and as of now, neither do you.
SMOKIN’ JOE!
Lord Love him!
Ubama the humorless comedian has a heckler... How apropos!
GREAT WORK WILSON

of course to a left wing rag like newsweak it was okay for chairman zero to call everyone else liars tonight....
Such gutter language from the President deserves one of those "truth to power" responses.
Newsweek, though, deserves nothing but the back of our hands.
“Nasty?” World War II was “nasty”. Americans fighting to take their government and country back from the Marxists ‘RATS is going to get a hell of a lot worse than “nasty.”
I voted for Joe Wilson! He my dawg!
You tell it, Joe!
:^)
“Nasty” ha, the dweeboscite knows nothing about what nasty was in Congresses past. They would whale away at one another with sticks.
Wasn’t he just “speaking truth to power”??
I sent him a note thanking him for being truthful.
McCain should concern himself more with facts than with decorum. And Rep. Wilson should apologize when the NHL expands to Hades.
I think that kid who shout “naked” about the Emperor forgot to apologize, too. What world is coming to!
It was, in truth, more of a mean stare from the Joker.
Sen. John McCain trashed Wilson’s heckling and urged him to apologize. “Totally disrespectful,”
Awwwww, come on McCain....I can’t call you what I think you are...get over yourself dude.
Way to go Rep. Joe Wilson...zero is a liar.
He’s already apologized! :o(
