The normally nonchalant Barack Obama looked nonplussed, as Nancy Pelosi glowered behind.
Surrounded by middle-aged white guys a sepia snapshot of the days when such pols ran Washington like their own mens club Joe Wilson yelled You lie! at a president who didnt.
But, fair or not, what I heard was an unspoken word in the air: You lie, boy!

Everytime I see the rules enforced in a Dowd-diatribe thread, I think to myself that Michael Douglas is either the smartest SOB on Earth, or the luckiest.
Either way, he most definitely UPGRADED!
I think there is tone deafness to the loose use of 'racist/homophonbe/whatever'. Obama offered to rise above race in this country, and indeed some declared the end of the race wars with his election. What we're seeing now, IMO, is just the old knee-jerk reactions from a group that's watching their champion and ideology flounder. IOW, they're like old generals--they fight their wars the only way they know how: the good old-fashioned way.
It seems to me tht the only ones who ever find racism are libs. It never has occured to me to add that racist added word. Now, just who are the racists?
Caution, clicked on nytimes link and some supposed software security product wanted to scan our computer.
I didnt hear Wilson you lie boy,
But just in case she needs to hear that I will say it loud and clear.
That boy was lying.
Basing a column on whole cloth has to be a new low even for the Grey Slattern.
The “any criticism of Obama is racism” crowd have done us all a great favor. The word has lost it’s meaning.
LOL!
Maybe it means we can only holler, "Your white half lies!" ... or maybe, "You, half liar, you!"
Or maybe better yet, and I admit it is a little wordy...we can say, "Your white lies, proving your white half is so racist against your black half!"
Naah...on second thought I think we should just brand him as a "Lying Racist!" ;^)
ROTFLOL
Dowd finally admits she is a racist by her thoughts. You would have to be to write this kind of stuff.
Yeah, I think there is a tinge of racism here.
She has a serious truth allergy.
So MoDo doesn’t acknowledge that BO has a white side?
What an idiotic thing to say. Idiot in all caps.
Same thing happened to me this morning. I had to close the browser to get rid of it. Wonder if they're trying to hose computers redirecting from Free Republic?

This is a great example of something I have long noticed: about 30% of what a lib "knows" or "hears" is made up in their own mind.
