House Democratic leaders announced Friday they will discipline Republican Rep. Joe Wilson next week if he does not apologize on the floor of the House for yelling "You lie" at President Obama during Wednesday's joint address to Congress.

Democrats say they do not know what the sanction will be, but it is doubtful it will be censure. Censure in the House is a type of reprimand. Another alternative is an official rebuke.

Unfortunately, he already did apologize. What a wonderful opportunity to tell Nazi Pelosi to sit down and shut up.

DON’T APOLOGIZE FOR ANYTHING... RUN INTO IT JOE!!!

I’m sorry, but when someone invades my house and
is caught ravaging my children, I’m not going to
politely ask that person to leave. Joe Wilson
behaved appropriately. The House of the people
has been invaded and looted. They have been caught
rading our treasures and defiling our Constitution.

Righteous anger IS APPROPRIATE!

Shout the truth with strength and resolve.

BE FEARLESS!

So they reprimand him.

Big whup.

It means absolutely ZERO.

In fact, a letter of reprimand would probably ensure his re-election in 2010. He could wave it around and say “this is what you get for telling the truth in Washington!!” and South Carolinians would absolutely eat it up.

At Bush's 2006 State of the Union speech, Democrats interrupted his speech to applaud and cheer their obstruction of Bush's proposal to reform Social Security.

Fast-forward to about 45:50 to see it. And at 46:05, take careful note of who you see in the lower left corner of the frame.

Hint: he didn't vote "present" this time.

Joe needs to tell Bela Pelosi to stuff it. Preferably using those exact words.

What is worse - breaking decorum by shouting “Liar!”, or LYING?

Guess we know what the MSM & Democrats think.

I agree, you can't buy a better endorsement than a censure from the Democratic party.

Joe Wilson should get up on the floor of the House and issue a statement. That statement should be, “I made my apology for my outburst to the WH. Now, here are the reasons for why Obama lied to the American people during his speech . . .”
