Unruly moment, manufactured outrage (Michelle Malkin, in spirited defense of Joe Wilson)

GOP Rep. Joe Wilson apologized for his outburst last night when he called out one of President Obama’s many lies.

I’ve never seen Nancy Pelosi’s face show so much emotion in my adult lifetime.

The Left is in high dudgeon — never letting a moment of manufactured outrage go to waste.

Sure, members of Congress should leave the heckling to town hall protesters.

But it was Obama who said himself in the speech: “If you misrepresent what’s in the plan, we will call you out.”

That’s what Joe Wilson was doing, wasn’t it?

From the look on Pelosi’s face last night- Joe Wilson is in big trouble today. And his little dog, too.

Reminded me more of something from British Parliment. I enjoyed watching Tony Blair have to debate the opposition party unscripted. Our’s should have to do the same.

The libs stock in trade is emotionalism.. manufactured outrage, created crisis, dubious disasters...

"The whole aim of practical [liberal] politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary."

The left has no other way to get their twisted agenda passed without LYING.

If most of America paid more attention to the wackiness that passes for legislation rather than watching American Idol, most of the country would have been calling Obama a liar along with Joe Wilson.

On Quinn and Rose they just said that Joe should get his own star on Hollywood BLVD for tellin ghte truth...

He said that the Republicans sat there like wimps and should have backed Joe up...

Would have been nice if Ole Joe had engaged in as spirited a defense of himself...

I suppose if he had thrown a shoe at Bush, he would have been a hero.

Obama's Civil Defense troops are already on the hunt.

Sorry, Barry, I acted stupidly. Let’s make this a teachable moment over a beer, ok?

My own contribution to the cause, as of this A.M.:

Joe Wilson brief here/wimp in reality!
What can one expect from the de—generations of the hippies, dopers, and baby boomers, etc.

The heroes—the Pattons, MacArthurs, Audie Murphys, Chesty Pullers, John Waynes, etc. are gone—what you see is what you get!

Are Ron Paul and Paul Broun the only real men left in the HR???

I defended JW this AM in the locker room at my gym. Some guy I've never interact with before got so made I thought he might strike me. Wow! Did this guy's knee jerk or what! I was a racist. Reagan lied. Bush lied. (Both of them! But somehow he forgot to mention the Slickster.) He brought up the National Guard stuff. (Funny how these kneejerkers can become so pro-military too.) He just got madder when I told him that the Supreme Court Justice I respected most was a schvatza.
