Wilson apologizes: 'I let my emotions get the best of me'
CNN ^ | September 9, 2009 | CNN

Posted on 09/09/2009 7:37:05 PM PDT by Severino

“This evening I let my emotions get the best of me when listening to the President’s remarks regarding the coverage of illegal immigrants in the health care bill. While I disagree with the President’s statement, my comments were inappropriate and regrettable. I extend sincere apologies to the President for this lack of civility.”

It’s called Rightous Indignation Joe.

No need to worry about Civility to the Rats.

They called us: Nazis, Brownshirts, Traitors, Racists, Thugs, Astroturfers and plenty of other names.

Always Speak the Truth.

He apologized for the lack of civility, not because what he said wasn’t true.

The nation heard it, it’s in the inter-tubes, they can’t un-hear it.

Shouting out a remark like that was a bit tacky. There is a certain decorum expected when the sitting president addresses Congress.

That being said, it would have been MUCH BETTER if Joe had walked up to the podium in the middle of the speech, patiently waited to be recognized, then READ OBOZO THE RIOT ACT, CHAPTER AND VERSE!!

Yeah, dat’s da ticket!

Unfortunate. He could have made a significant statement against Chairman Zero by holding his ground and sticking to the truth.

A three second coitus with an immediate faked orgasm. Nice job, JOE!

Again, I am not shocked.

Joe Wilson DID violate house rules, but he is RIGHT in calling Obama a LIAR....

Yes, there is a provision in the bill that states that Obamacare will not apply to illegals.

But SCOTUS ruled in 1996, that similar rules under Clinton’s 1996 Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act, were ILLEGAL, that you LEGALLY CANNOT DENY ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS GOVERNMENT COVERAGE.

Here’s a PDF of the Chester Note:

They put this in the bill for cover, KNOWING the SCOTUS would later strike it!!!

I’m cool wit this but I wish he had asked Obama to apologise for calling Sarah Palin and millions of others liars.

I’ve been a Republican for 50 years, but if Sarah Palin starts a third party, I will quit the Pubbies and go with her.

There are too many Repubs like John McCain. The man made me want to vomit tonight with his sycophantic grin whenever Obama looked at him.

He’s not just angry. He’s deceitful and dangerous. I truly believe that. I think he’s a helluva lot more sinister than many of the sheeple will acknowledge. That, and he’s condescending as all hell.

We need to screw mclame as badly has he did us. What a piece of Arizona donkey dung.
Sure would have been KA if Joe hadn’t have had to apologize, there was probably some rule about telling the truth in Congress.

It doesn’t matter. The fact is everybody knows he’s right, apology or no. And you see, he did not apologize saying he was wrong, he apologized for incivility. So he basically apologized for being rude, but he’s still correct- Obama lied.
