The ExMarine who is running against miller. He is a Democrat.

I'm sorry doesn't cut it. This is like a tattoo on this dudes forehead. Did he think he was at High School assembly?
No matter what happens in the health care fight, the GOOP will forever be slime. Distancing themselves after the fact doesn't erase history. Their learning to twitter, next big step, Google.

To quote Van Jones "Reoublicans are assholes"

To whoever posted the House rules, thank you. Why doesn't the one about "cellular phones and laptops" apply to Eric Cantor texting something on his Blackberry while the TV camera focused on him and Boehner? Shouldn't he be slapped, too?

Now I know I've lived too long. The disrespect for Obama has gotten so out of hand that it shames all of us. Let us just imagine what would have happened if someone on the left had called George W. Bush a liar when he was addresssing a joint session...... We cannot tolerate this kind of behavior from anyone in the Congress as it only demeans all of us in the long run.

Hell Wilson's right!! Obama lied all through this joke of a speech. He doesn't deserve any damn respect. Respect for what? Ruining and bankrupting the country!! What happened to freedom of speech? All those bastard are hypocrites anyway. They sit there piously like they're something special and every single one of them would steal the ring off a dead man's finger! What Wilson did was what most of those guys were thinking anyway!

And get this...The coward took his website offline for 'maintenance':

We all must give our sincere thanks and deep appreciation to Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) for having to courage to tell the President to his face on national TV what those of us in the Democrat Party haven't been able to articulate correctly ... bipartisanship isn't going to work with this Congress.

I don't understand all the outrage at Wilson's outburst. So what. We don't have royalty in this country and bad manners are just that--bad manners.Obama isn't some namby-pamby blue blood who can't take a bit of heckling. If any thing, he's a world class heavyweight and a bit of heckling tells you how effective his opponents believe he is.

Republicans talking out of both sides of their mouths? News flash: No shit.

Why should we respect the office if we don't respect the man in that office? We don't have a king, and for good reason. The person in that office, is the office at that moment. Bush, a man I believe to be a war criminal, held this very same office. I did not respect him personally nor did I respect any office he held.

Can we once and for all stop kidding ourselves by denying that bigotry and racism is at the very heart of the angry opposition to all things Obama?

As the level of right wing desperation rises their deep-seated racism and bigotry becomes more and more overt. We heard on the TV and read on the Net during the 2008 presidential campaign all the vile, angry, bitter, disgusting, and, yes, threatening words that spewed forth from those who call themselves American but who are in fact still sons and daughters of the Confederacy and their sympathizers. Most of it was said or posted anonymously but there were some prominent political and media figures who stretched the limits openly such as Rush Limbaugh and his "Barack the Magic Negro" routine. And there were some Southern politicians who used the old code words and phrases reminding that "boy" not to get "uppity" and "forget his place".

Once their worst nightmare became a reality, a black man as president, the level and number of such attacks increased exponentially. As did the number of threats against the life of the president and his family. So it should come as no surprise that we now have a "preacher" openly calling for Obama's death; tee shirts being sold at the so-called "Teabag parties" and on-line with pictures of the Ku Klux Klan on them; state and local Republican politicians trading racist e-mails and racist images with each other and their constituents; a Republican senator, Saxby Chambliss warning the president to show "humility" when he addresses the Congress (by which he means not be uppity with his white betters); and finally, last night, the ultimate and most brazen display of disrespect not just to the man but to the office of the President.

Yes, yes. We are hearing calls for Joe Wilson to be reprimanded or censured or some such nonsense which is the congressional equivalent of hitting a puppy with a rolled-up newspaper and shouting "bad boy" when it soils the living room carpet. I can assure you that when that good ol' boy gets back home, he's going to be treated to rounds of applause and back-slapping from those who see his action as the right and proper thing to have done in the face of such insolence.

But the media which continues to allow a soapbox for these things to be broadcast around the country and the globe because it makes for good ratings are guilty of aiding and abetting this fanaticism. Needless to say, it is the Fox News Network that is the most culpable for allowing sick twisted individuals like Glenn Beck on the air. But those of us who either deny the racism and bigotry that is right there before our very eyes. Or merely, tut-tut and ignore it as just the ravings of a few misguided souls are equally to blame. This is a good time to remind ourselves of Pastor Martin Niemoller's words:

"First they came for the Communists, and I didn’t speak up, because I wasn’t a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn’t speak up, because I wasn’t a Jew. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn’t speak up, because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time there was no one left to speak up for me."

And never, ever forget that 99.99999% of them are cowards. Want proof? Check out http://www.joewilson.house.gov/ this morning.

I served in the US Army for 23 years, to hear a congressman call the President a liar, when the FACTS clearly support the President, it turned my stomach. How disgusting and shameful. Hell, does Wilson even understand the numbers of "illegal" in his own state that fall under the sharecropper system. Again, there is no acceptable excuse for such a childish act. I could expect such actions at a High School assembly, but a joint session of the Congress. An "unparallel insult" among respectful body of Americans; shameful.

That puny little piece of paper the repubs are waving around wouldn't contain the instructions to my doggie daycare provider.

Barry O told one lie after another throughout the speech - including the one Joe Wilson correctly labeled - and got a pass from his fellow socialists in the MSM.

Wilson tells the truth and the sky falls on his head.

Joe Wilson did nothing wrong except apologizing for telling the truth about Obama.

The term, "You lie." could be applied to just about everything that comes out of the Prez's mouth.
