Joe Wilson is the hero and financial contributions coming for his 2010 campaign from around the USA is proof. While he is forced by the button down shirt Republican Party to apologize to Obama most of the public have no respect for Obama and the office of president. It's a lot more than wild spending by the government why people oppose Obama. Until Obama is removed we have no security. If 1.5 million can rally in Washington DC on a Saturday that shows there are a sufficient number of citizens who can storm the WH to remove Obama.

Our local paper for the 4th day in a row has vilified Joe Wilson. It is the Greenville News in Greenville, SC. Today they have a editorial cartoon of Joe Wilson with a h*** in his head. I called and cancelled my subscrition and then had a conversation with the managing editor who denied that he had anything to do with the editorial page. Bull! I asked when they were going to do an article about the number of times that Nancy Pelosi sat behind President (yes a real President) Bush sucking candy, making faces and sticking her tongue out at him on TV - I remember most distinctly Jan 25, 2007 for the State of the Union address. How about Hillary Clinton doing the same, Teddy Kennedy slipping from his seat and almost falling to the floor (if not for Kerry he would have) - and I wonder why? - Maxine Waters making horrible faces during any of Pres. Bush's speeches - I can go on and on. Where is the decorum stink there? JOE WILSON MAKES ME PROUD TO BE FROM SOUTH CAROLINA.

I think one apology was enough. Actually it was one to many. Cannot seem to get anyone on Obama's team to listen to the masses. Maybe it will take something as unorthodox as this to ffinally get their attention. Nobody is listening to us. Obama and his henchmen are the ones lying.

The triple view is funny, really proves the point that once you are elected forget your state because Nanny Nancy owns your tush!

The little kid didn't know how to react when someone called his bluff.
Joe Wilson should never, never apologize to this guy that continues to run a community action program using U S citizens as guinea pigs.

If I happen to be cuffed and arrested, woe to them. I’ve seen every nasty trick in the book that can be done by a person in cuffs, and I can do them all. They will WISH that a torture ban was ever put in place.
Someone this morning on the radio station demanded that he be charged but could not quite say with what because he was SURE that there were rules on being rude in the pretty hard over that one. The next caller told them to recommend that people get an 8th grade civics lesson under their belt before calling in with diatribe such as the previous caller.
There are no penalties involved with speaking out during an address to the congress. But with this congress they can conjure up a censure for darn near any reason. And I do hope they try. Rep Wilson raised 400K in about 5 hours after his outburst.
My take on this was that it was a signal to all Americans that intellectual debate has died within our Congress. In a place where free speech is supposed to be celebrated and the most passionate, one of our elected officials feels so censured that he resorted to an outburst.

Here we go AGAIN! Everytime a white man utters a word or phrase that is controversial (in this case Congressman Wilson's words made people stand up and take notice of some severe loop holes in the proposed legislation) along comes someone to say its racial. Then to put this one over the top...along comes one of our WORST bleeding heart liberal military destroying presidents in history to stir the pot. Folks I dont know about you but Im REALLY sick and tired of kicking this beaten to death race horse "its racist, or its race driven, or based on race," or whatever spin they want to put on it, needs to stop. From what I see there is much more reverse racism ongoing regularly in the US society that is routinely tolerated!!! How about the recent Kanye West incident. That was an obvious racist action...he just didnt like that a white girl actually out did a black girl...How about the Harvard racist professor who told the cop when politely asked to step outside, he would "step outside with his mama" These incidents and many others are obviously racist in nature aimed against whites. How about all the voters, party affiliation aside, who voted for Obama just because he is "Black" (half white raised by his white mother after his no load African father left them when he was 2 years old) These same voters will follow his doomed policies and proposals to the end just because he is "black" and may not even care to know any details of the proposed legislation. They have on their black glasses. This is what normal US citizens are up against in the USA now, so I say so what when someone says a white is "racist." All one has to do is point out all the blatant racist actions against whites by politicians and society today. For the most part these racist actions are tolerated without anyone as much as blinking...Did anyone comment about Kenye West's actions as racist? NO! While obviously they were racist. But since this was a black guy so many people are trying to rationalize his actions. I see very few people coming to the defense of the HONORABLE Congressman from South Carolina rationalizing his actions !!! While his method was crude and yes disrespectful, IT MADE PEOPLE STAND UP AND TAKE NOTICE OF THE LOOPHOLES!!!! Thank you Congressman Wilson for speaking out! Now that's rationalizing! Had nothing to do with racism!

Next time just throw a shoe, and just maybe it will hit Nancy Pelosi and knock her off her broom...Did you see the glare ? Ha! I swear if I closed my eyes it sounds just like someone using psychology on their kids by coming across lecturing, i.e. if you are being lectured to surely you are doing something WRONG. Its all in gamesmanship trying to make the GOP feel guilty. Or maybe we are moving down the same path as Saddam... wasn't it Saddam who rose to power by silencing all his opposition, albeit he went to the extremes, but Im sure when he started. We are at a point now that if liberals are going to play up the race issue at every turn its like crying wolf and we need to call them on it and tell them just to shut the heck up. As I see it this is being used as much as possible to make the GOP back down. Its the American way. Ive lived outside the USA for the better part of 25 years and many people from other countries including Africa wonder why BLACK americans are so racist. Don't fall for the gamesmanship! Dont back down! While I cant agree with the use of the actual words, "you lie," muzzling intelligent debate results in extenuating circumstances that are THE CAUSE of these types of outbursts vs having intelligent debate. Obviously the liberals have forgotten the benefit of synergy and that they represent only a percentage of this country... But Way to go Congressman Wilson. If I was from South Carolina, you would have my vote! if I could create a new ACORN agency for the GOP you would have all the votes from all the people who have passed on in your region :-)
Dont back down! We need some new GOP leaders like you to lead this country when this socialist regime leaves the white house in a couple of years!!!! GO WILSON!!!! YES !!!!
