Likewise, it has been held that a member could not: • call the President a “liar.” • call the President a “hypocrite.” • describe the President’s veto of a bill as “cowardly.” • charge that the President has been “intellectually dishonest.” • refer to the President as “giving aid and comfort to the enemy.” • refer to alleged “sexual misconduct on the President’s part.”

Joe Wilson committed a misdemeanor by pointing out a felony.
No, he should do like Rush did, auction it off on ebay and give the funds to his favorite charity! At least SOME good could come of it!
Prove that the guy sitting next to Joe didn’t say, “I’ve just won the TriState Lottery, that’s a billion dollars before taxes!!” and Joe reacted by saying, “You lie!” :-)
He never said “President Obama, you lie!”
If you don’t watch that kind of language and stop disrupting this forum, Jim Thompson’s going to have to censure you with stern disapproval!!
/sarc
But it is ok for the President to stand at the podium and call them liars!!!!!
Oops! I forgot this was a family site...
In accordance with the House Guidelines, I think that Wilson should issue the following apology:
"I am sorry that I said 'You lie' while that nitwit was disgracing the country with his political speech. From now on, I will follow the Democrats' example and simply yell 'boo' whenever that nitwit is speaking."
Joe broke no law, he violated House rules which are not law and can be changed any time by the house.
I mean really, where oh where would we be if Congress didn't hold proper behavior in such high esteem?????????
Rush said Monday that during the LIAR-IN-CHIEF’s speech, that several Dems were taunting Repubs with Fascist fist salutes and such.
Of course, the network news cameras somehow just missed televising those junior high school antics.
This email just in from Joe Wilson.

Dear Jo,
Today, instead of working on the important issues facing our nation, the House of Representatives voted on a partisan “resolution of disapproval” of me. As reported, this is the first time in its history that the House has reprimanded a member for speaking out during a presidential speech in the chamber to a joint session of Congress.
By their actions today the Democratic leadership has proven once again that they would rather play political games on the taxpayer’s dime than work to create jobs or reform health care.
I was able to make a short speech on the House Floor before the official vote. I hope you will watch this video, and make a donation to help me fight back against the liberal Democrats and continue to stand for truth.
The supporters of a government takeover of health care are using my very vocal opposition as an excuse to muzzle the American people who have been outspoken against their risky plan.
Despite this unprecedented partisan assault, I will not stop fighting. I will continue to speak the truth.
Will you please watch this video and make a donation to help me fight back against these partisan attacks?
Proud to stand with you,
Joe Wilson
U.S. Representative
