What do you think of Rep. Joe Wilson's decision to shout out 'You lie!' during the president's speech?
It was completely inappropriate. There's never an excuse for bad manners.
It revealed the frustration of House Republicans who feel powerless.
He was completely within his rights.
Hey, they yell out in the UK during parliament and in Japan I’ve seen clips of members throwing punches...this is lightweight next to other countries outrage!
Ditto!

TRUTH HURTS.....
I love watching the House of Commons on C-SPAN. Those guys are crazy!
where is the option ‘it was dead on’?
Screw “inappropriate”. Ever watch the British Parliament in operation?
I did like how Pelosi looked over at him afterward with a grimace that said “I’m doing to have to take that boy out to the woodshed after this is over!”
If ya gonna jab...DON’T APOLOGIZE !!!
If there ever was an excuse for bad manners, the time is now. The only thing he should apologize for is for saying “sorry” after the fact. I am tired of the 60 minute patriots that have infiltrated the RepubliCANT party. They are partly to blame for the mess we are in.
When will Charlie Rangel apologize for not paying taxes?
When will our blessed speaker of the House apologize for calling concerned citizens Nazis?
When will our President apologize for spending our great-grandchildren’s inheritance.
The sun has set for apologizing. Decorum is the last vestige of a dying regime. The time is now to voice our displeasure.
See you all at 9/12!
I think it provides some ventilation for Obama.
It would be best to let Obama have his say and then just set the Dems at each other on how to pay for it and public option. Let them slug it out.
Now the press will simply focus on Wilson.
I don’t think it was good form, maybe he just couldn’t help himself. He was that pissed.
It’s about time!
Obama in the words before Joe Wilson’s shout was calling Republicans liars, but Joe Wilson is in the wrong for telling him he is in fact the liar. Murtha calls our soldiers murderers before any evidence is in, and not a peep out of the MSM or any Dem politician. These people make me sick.
“If ya gonna jab...DON’T APOLOGIZE !!!”
Good policy.
It was time Der Fuhrer had his nose publicly rubbed in the truth, and boy he got it tonight. Look for the symbiant media outlets to be spinning full tilt tomorrow.
