Under section 370 of the House Rules and Manual it has been held that:

• a member cannot call the President a “liar.”
USE INSTEAD: “bloviating prevaricator”

• a member cannot call the President a “hypocrite.”
USE INSTEAD: “a morally adrift personality”

• a member cannot describe the President’s veto of a bill as “cowardly.”
USE INSTEAD: “craven”

• a member cannot charge that the President has been “intellectually dishonest.”
USE INSTEAD: “sophist”

• a member cannot refer to the President as “giving aid and comfort to the enemy.”
USE INSTEAD: “Jimmy Carter Redux”

• a member cannot refer to alleged “sexual misconduct on the President’s part.”
USE INSTEAD: “adulterous moral turpitude on the part of the president”

..... That should cover it, I think.

Were these rules written before or after Joe Wilson spoke the truth in public?

I know what happened to Senator McCarthy for doing that.

“HOUSE RULES BAN ‘LIAR’, ‘HYPOCRITE’, ‘INTELLECTUALLY DISHONEST’”

Sheesh. If they keep this up, no one will be able to tell the truth about Congressmen.

So, it’s okay to call Ubama a homosexual Muslim crackhead?

She may be lying, but she is not doing it because she thinks they are taping her, she is doing it because she is trying to make herself look tough. I have seen many like her. Either way, truth or lie, she is setting herself up for some big trouble. OTH, lot’s of people are stupid enough to brag about killing people, more than one murderer was caught by bragging in bars about killing someone.

• call the President a “liar.”

Luckily, as far as I know, "Stranger to truth" is still OK. So is, "Wouldn't know the trutch if he tripped over it."

I thought it was funny when O’Keefe thought she
ran an escort service 40 years ago. Then Theresa
couldn’t say how many years ago she killed her
husband, but that it wasn’t very long ago when she
was 35 years old.

Yes... Theresa wants to be accepted by everyone,
no matter how depraved. I bet she was not one
of the kewl kids at school.

True that. IMO this little political hack job on Joe Wilson will just mean more of the Good Guys coming out to vote in 2010 and 2012.

I think most regular folk are sick and tired and fed up and mad about this corrupt congress and they are becoming more than willing to stand up and do something about it.

The next march on wherever will be even larger (and hopefully have an aerial photographer of its own.)

Let's try:

“You PREVARICATOR!”

“You EQUIVOCATOR!”

“You FALSIFIER!” “FIBBER!” “DECEIVER!” “FIBBER!”

I have never seen so much hypocrisy and wasted nonsense in my life. These are as little children. Carter on World News Tonight trying to blame the failures of the Party on racism is another joke. Racism does not count if it is against the Israelis, right Mr. Carter? Keep an eye on the Democrats. The latest talking points are that if you object to the junk they are trying to shove down our throats, you are racist. They do not have much going for them at this moment. This is all they can come up with?
