"You Lie!": Rep. Joe Wilson Shouts to Obama during Speech
http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2009/09/09/gop-rep-joe-wilson-presidential-heckler/ ^

President Barack Obama’s address to Congress this evening was moving along fairly smoothly until he pledged that there was nothing in the legislation that would provide health care to the millions of illegal immigrants residing in the nation.

A cry of “You lie!” was audible from the Republican side of the aisle. The Associated Press reports that the heckler was South Carolina Republican Rep. Joe Wilson.

“It’s not true,” the president responded to the outburst, while House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, seated behind the president, offered her mother-of-five glare towards the Republican side of the chamber. First Lady Michelle Obama was seen shaking her head from side to side.

While lawmakers may have become accustomed to that kind of language during the contentious town hall meetings in August, Wilson’s outburst was uncommon for a joint session of Congress, where decorum usually reigns.

A spokesman for Wilson did not immediately return a request for comment.

He joins a growing list. Most recently black economist extraordinaire Thomas Sowell:

Exactly! Liberals just can’t deal with having to abide by the rules they demand setting up for everyone else.

After I sent him a contribution I sent a note.

Thank you Joe!!!

You stood up without fear and said what we’ve been waiting a long time
to hear. You told the President that he is a liar. You said it after he
called a private citizen, Sarah Palin, a liar. You also know by now that
President Bush was booed during his February 2005 State of the Union
Address. http://mediamatters.org/research/200502040014

Be fearless. Don’t back down. Trust God and obey! We are behind you.

Thank you! ...

I heard Glenn Beck had a producer at the Orly hearing yesterday and Lucas Smith was interviewed by him.

Really ? I had heard just “Fox reporter” with
no connection to Glenn. And I’ve not seen any
updates about that, and I’ve been looking.

Now that would be something if there was
actually an interview.

Oh, I would have given much to see/hear this live!!! I don’t ever tune in to the Demagogues spewing propaganda, but this would have been such a delight to capture that moment in my brain at the instant it occurred.

My favorite post-speech comment so far is the loathsome Dickie Durbin whining that “most Americans” expect the POTUS to be treated with continual respect...... yes, these vicious charlatans can say stuff like this after all the years their most depraved attacks on Pres. Bush, our troops (all the Nazi and concentration camp comparisons, countless nasty slurs, etc.). Durbin and Pelosi are two of the worst, yet now they will go on and on about how terrible it is that Obama’s recitation off the teleprompter was disturbed by a little “speak truth to power” that the left claims to value.

I agree. On the other hand, I can see where a conservative with the same name as Valerie Plame’s husband might tend to be cranky.

Fantastic .. how wonderful of you !

And especially since Joe WILL probably pay.

“Don’t think we’re not keeping score, brother.” That’s what President Barack Obama said to Rep. Peter DeFazio in a closed-door meeting of the House Democratic Caucus last week, according to the Associated Press.

Republicans show a little temper and they're vilified.

Barney Frank sponsors La Cage Aux Folles in his basement and the guy's still in office.

Barry Sotero, you lie!

Calling Hussein a liar is not enough; he should have thrown his shoes at him. Liberals approve of that sort of thing, you know.

The town hall patriots have shown us that this is VERY APPROPRIATE behavior! You rock JOE!!

Next time, DON’T appologize!

If 307 Million Americans could have been in the room with you, about 100 million would have yelled the SAME THING.

As our representative, it is your DUTY to SPEAK on our behalf.

While I don't necessarily condone the outburst by Rep. Wilson, I do understand that the Jerry Springer tone was set by the liberal democrats. I also credit Wilson for issuing an apology for calling Hussein a liar, something liberal democrats apparently cannot find it in them to do.

WASHINGTON - Harry Reid, the Senate majority leader, has called President Bush a loser and a liar and has referred to him derisively as King George. Mr. Reid has also apologized - but only, he likes to point out, for the "loser" line.
