Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Democratic leaders are calling on Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) to apologize for heckling President Obama as a liar.
Wilson shouted to the president "you lie" after Obama said illegal immigrants would not benefit from health insurance coverage from the reform bill. Obama glared disgustedly in the direction the remark came from, as did Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Vice President Joe Biden.
House Democratic Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.) called Wilson's outburst "embarrassing," while McCain said it was "totally disrespectful" and that there was "no place for it in that setting or any other."
McCain said Wilson "should apologize for it immediately."

Wow Imagine he was that fast to defend Sarah Palin or the nation against socialism. Mccain needs to be defeated. And while your at it John we deserve an apology for your daughter’s atttacks on the conservatives.
Check inside McQueeg's briefs.....
Tell them all to kiss your asset, Joe!
Oh McLame, why don’t you just get on your knees before Obama, you sound like you do already.
where does it say that..the provision I read basically said you can’t ask if someone is illegal..
John...time to retire. Maybe you can get a slot on the Food Network showing the rest of us how to properly grill a rack of ribs...
Oh shut up McCain!
Joe should absolutely NOT apologize - Obama IS lying. If Obama can call Sarah Palin - who is the sole reason I voted for you last year - a liar when she has lied about NOTHING, Joe Wilson most certainly CAN call-out Obama for a real bald-faced lie.
You hypocritical RINO. Just retire already, will you?
Actually, I think that Wilson should apologize.
But only after pointing out that Obama did indeed tell a falsehood, according to the Congressional Research Service:
Wilson has an opportunity: he can "apologize" for being "disrepectful", but the media won't be able to cover it without validating Wilson's claim.
From a protocol perspective, McCain is correct. From a factual perspective it is quite another matter.
Hold your ground Joe! You are right and you have to stand firm.
She is sleeping with bill maher and a few other lefty std carriers.
LLS
All the more reason NOT TO!! Stand your ground, Joe, and McCain- go pound sand.
In 2009, Clyburn introduced the Access for All Americans Act. The $26 billion sought by this Act would provide funding to quadruple the number of community health centers in the US that provide medical care to uninsured and low-income citizens.
1992 - Following a Supreme Court mandate, the Florence-based 6th district was redrawn as a black-majority district.
Is 0bama saying only citizens qualify?
In Mexico 5 weeks ago, Zer0 promised that “comprehensive immigration reform” was being drafted and would be voted on in 2010.
Even if the treatment of illegal alien peasants is ambiguous in “healt care reform”, it doesn’t really matter since Zer0 intends to make our 25 million++ illegal alien peasants legal and eligible for health care bennies and “on a pathway to citizenship” sometime next year.
This is the most radical president to ever hold the office. He needs to be called out, before our nation is destroyed.
What do you want to bet that McCain’s little pal Lindsey has whined to him about that conservative Rep from his SC delegation?
McCain should apologize for campaign finance reform, grandstanding on “torture”, and running a half assed campaign against Obama...
Let this play out, Rats. Let the: “he should /he should’nt” issue drown out the Kenyan’s “message”. And let the public on the fence contemplate: “maybe he is a liar”..
