The Senate Hypocrite Who Condemns Rep. Joe Wilson for Telling Obama, “You Lie!”
David Horowitz's NewsReal Blog ^ | September 13, 2009 | John Perazzo

Senator Tom Harkin, with Barack Obama

On his most recent MSNBC program, Ed Schultz assessed the merits of the healthcare speech Barack Obama had delivered Wednesday before a joint session of Congress. In somber tones, Schultz characterized the President's reference to the late Senator Ted Kennedy as "the most moving part" of the address. Schultz then turned to his guest, Senator Tom Harkin (Democrat-Iowa), who now carries the torch Kennedy once held as chairman of the Senate Health Committee. Harkin made it clear that he would passionately lead the fight for what Kennedy termed “the cause of my life” – socialized medicine. “We’ve got to have a public option, and believe me, we’re going to have one,” said Harkin.

Inspired by Harkin’s resolve, Shultz drew the Senator’s attention momentarily to the now-infamous verbal outburst of South Carolina Republican Joe Wilson, who, during Obama's speech, shouted “You lie!” in response to the President’s assertion that the Democrats’ healthcare proposal would not cover illegal aliens. “Have you ever seen that before?” Shultz asked Harkin regarding Rep. Wilson’s action. “Ever? Anything like it?”

I have yet to meet a hardcore liberal who isn’t a hardcore hypocrite.

What is this? Win one for the swimmer? Letting someone die/drown in the back seat of your car is not health care. Neither is abortion.

Insurance companies can’t drop you from coverage once you have it no matter if you get cancer or whatever. It is against the law already.

I just received this email from Joe Wilson after
a note of encouragement sent on Wednesday night.
Yes... I have already made a contribution.

**********************************************

Dear Jo,

As you may be aware, the attacks and threats from the liberal Democrats have not let up.

On Fox News I made one thing clear: I will not apologize to Nancy Pelosi and her allies who threatened to censure me in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Washington Democrats and their liberal allies want to divert attention away from the concerns about the massive government takeover of health care. In fact, they have made me their Number One target — already raising more than a million dollars to attack me.

But I will not give up and I will not back down from our fight. We will not be muzzled.

I need your help today.

Will you please make a donation to help me fight back against these unwavering attacks?

Thank you for standing with me in this fight,

Joe Wilson
U.S. Representative
