~ EXCERPT ~
Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) apologized Wednesday night to White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel for shouting “You lie!” during President Obama’s healthcare speech before a joint session of Congress.
Emanuel accepted Wilson’s apology on behalf of the president, according to a Democratic source familiar with the call.
In addition to his phone call to Emanuel, Wilson also issued a statement separately, calling his comments “inappropriate and regrettable.”

It was WORTH it to watch Obama and Nancy and what’s his VP faces looks of utter horror at the nerve of someone confronting the “O”s propaganda on national TV!
The teleprompter may not have been busted, but Wilson’s outburst was the ONLY refreshing, truthful moment about last night!
‘After thinking about this for a few minutes my question is, do illegals not get free health care now?’
If they go to Emergency Rooms for care, yes.
You can not say you haven’t seen this happen and laughed your tail off.
Chairs, microphones, shoes, etc thrown along with fists. GOD knows I’d have loved to have seen a Republican stand up and yell out Zero you are a liar and throw a chair at his sorry marxist punk ass.
isn’t number six actually as follows: 6. Never say you’re sorry - its a sign of weakness. I thought the exact same thing when I heard Joe apologized.
Truly sad that people feel the need to apologize because they uttered the truth (regardless of the venue).
“What’s he apologizing for?”
For telling the truth.
WORST MOVE EVER!!!!!!!! We have no men in government anymore. Let me throw a couple of quotes out there...
“Give me liberty or give me death”
“I regret that I have but one life to give to my country”
“nuts”
“I have learned to hold popular opinion of no value”
“It’s not tyranny we desire; it’s a just, limited, federal government”
“Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.”
“But a Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost forever”
Our current MEN in this congress will be remembered for this quote....”I am sorry” What a bunch of useless spineless pieces of crap!!!!
One more thing, the RNC called me last week begging for money. I was polite but firm with them...not one damned penny from me until they can start backing strong conservative candidates. I chastised them for not strongly supporting Colonel West down in Florida. I will give my money only to the candidates that I approve of. The RNC can pound sand.
I just donated to his re election!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We need to ALL CALL BONE HEAD’S OFFICE for making him appologize...

He’s apologizing not for what he said, but the manner in which he said it. It shows class and dignity and a firm grasp of morals. He’s outraged with Obama the man, but respects the office of the president.
Who cares if he later apologized?
He made his point. I also think he rattled Zero in the middle of his bs delivery.
The GOP should have left empty seats for his speech. They should have stayed home.
Perhaps you mean “caramel,” a chewy light-brown candy.
“Carmel” is a holy place mentioned in the Bible. http://www.bibleplaces.com/mtcarmel.htm
Donate to Allen West, if the RNC had put any effort behind him he would have won, and it is a Democrat strong hold. Any strong conservatives need to be helped, Colonel West is one. Tell me about others and I will give to them what I can.
Wasn’t Clint Eastwood the mayor of a town in CA named Carmel also?
Stockholm syndrome is reaching epidemic proportions.
LOL. At least, he could have spiced it up and said, “I’m sorry that what I said was true. You’re a liar!”
I believe you position is how we got here, whereby an individual go to Congress with impunity; fact the natural born sneak, cheat and liar, used that term first and continued to do so in his speech against the American people! Marxist of Queensberry Rules, do not work especially in war, open environments and political conflicts...those who believe so will always be losers...from Korea, Vietnam to Middle East and other locations where people are not free from tyranny!
They don’t frame the question properly, nor do the two possible “options” for answering the bad question convey anything meaningful. How would you answer and have it convey meaning the following question: “Will Congressman Joe Wilson’s remark affect South Carolina?” with a simple yes or no answer? Yeah, it will probably affect SC somehow - maybe I think it will positively affect SC, but would my answer be yes then? If you answer no, then you claim it will have no affect, but if he resigns, then I think it will have a negative affect on SC.
too weird to vote for me...
And he didn’t give a “Democrat apology”: “...IF I offended anyone.”
Leave it to a POS moderate like yourself to criticize Joe Wilson. You have a lot in common with McCain, Lindsey Graham, and many democrats. I guess you like hanging out where you are not welcome.
