- ambiguus, on 09/10/2009, -35/+623From factcheck.org (http://factcheck.org/2009/08/seven-falsehoods-abou ...
The House bill (the only bill to be formally introduced in its entirety) specifically says that no federal money would be spent on giving illegal immigrants health coverage:
H.R. 3200: Sec 246 — NO FEDERAL PAYMENT FOR UNDOCUMENTED ALIENS: Nothing in this subtitle shall allow Federal payments for affordability credits on behalf of individuals who are not lawfully present in the United States.
Also, under current law, those in the country illegally don’t qualify for federal health programs. Of interest: About half of illegal immigrants have health insurance now, according to the nonpartisan Pew Hispanic Center, which says those who lack insurance do so principally because their employers don’t offer it. - inactive, on 09/10/2009, -56/+567What a ***** *****.
- wakethefockup, on 09/10/2009, -59/+512Yeah, the question is who has the REAL credibility?
This joker has the nerve to pull one of their immature townhall attacks, during what is to be something he never had to even show up at. They should have thrown him out right then and there, maybe one day he'll learn how to grow and and conduct himself appropriately and in a mature manner, like the man who had the floor in the first place. - socialPsyence, on 09/10/2009, -73/+447Stay classy South Carolina.
Say, who started that civil war thing where a bunch of African American slaves were ultimately freed? Oh... right.... - GonSmithe, on 09/10/2009, -46/+393I can't believe something so disrespectful could have been uttered during this.
Is Joe Wilson a child?
No, even worse. Not even a CHILD would do such a thing.
Completely and totally appalling.
I feel bad for you South Carolina. - somberlaine, on 09/10/2009, -39/+366it is a shame that a member of congress acts like that. totally immature.
- oinonio, on 09/10/2009, -56/+344$100 to whomever runs against Wilson in the next election.
- smacksaw, on 09/10/2009, -43/+328I would like to see Joe Wilson added to this list:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censure_in_the_United ...
Censure is absolutely appropriate. This is an abuse of his power. One, he is a nobody. So to be heard, they disrespect the office of the President yet again. The Republicans are doing far more to destroy the honour and integrity of of the office than they fear Obama will. This is absolutely unacceptable. The second is that he is in a safe district, so he will not have any reprisal back at home.
He needs censure or even expulsion. Someone needs to take a stand now before this gets worse. - shaka776, on 09/10/2009, -18/+268Right Wing Nutjob here. Let me apologize for the fellow who decided to take the format of the town hall debates and apply it to a Presidential address. It is tradition and understood that during a Presidential address, there are allowances for group boos and applause - Howfreakinever, you do NOT talk over the President, and you do not insult him. Call me crazy or old-fashioned ( don't forget the nutjob part), I believe the position and the address are both deserving of a far more respectful attitude than what was displayed tonight. Wilson should be ashamed and should apologize.
- smacksaw, on 09/10/2009, -17/+251Yes, because rewarding disrespect is the cornerstone of Republican family values.
"Son, when a black man in power is talking and you're supposed to be listening, you interrupt him and call him a liar." - absurd1, on 09/10/2009, -22/+236One should always respect the office. Even though I disagreed with President Bush (and worked as an activist against some of his policies) I never used Hitler/fascist imagery. I prohibited it in my organization in fact.
Obama was elected, respect the office. h/t to Laura Bush for saying this earlier this week regarding his school speech.
---
p.s. This is all part of a larger effort to discredit Obama as President: the school speech, the birthers, the healthcare lies, Beck's czar nonsense etc. All tread on a belief that this President is not really a president. Not really worthy of respect. Not worthy of a civilized discourse. While Repubs keep their seats/careers, the rest suffer. - oldhick, on 09/10/2009, -11/+220As a conservative I hope that liberals, progressives, greens, Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians, or whatever you may be, can come together and agree that that was disgraceful and disgusting outburst from a pathetic man who doesn't represent anyone but the most ignorant and childish in our society. There is no place for that sort of ridiculous behavior.
We can stand our ground. We can disagree on legislation and policy. We can oppose the Presidents health plan. But we can do it with dignity and respect. That was a shameful moment for all conservatives and I hope all will unite in condemning such poor behavior. - Corek, on 09/10/2009, -26/+219Found a picture of him doing it:
http://kimag.es/share/32794433.png - UniversalGuy, on 09/10/2009, -34/+217Stay classy, republicans.
But in all reality, can we show a little respect for the president of the United States?
Who is the guy who yelled out? A nobody. - TheWriteGuy, on 09/10/2009, -14/+193Wilson's outburst may have actually HELPED the Democrats and President in both the eyes of the public (increasing support for their health reform plan, and increasing approval for the President) and uniting the Congressional Dems against the GOP.
Not only was Wilson rude and tactless, but he may have just effed things up over the tipping point for his party on this issue. - akspark, on 09/10/2009, -9/+187Joe Wilson does not represent my state. Everyone I know is outraged by that ***** he pulled.
- joculator, on 09/10/2009, -10/+156He must be the loudest one at the klan rallies.
- spriggig, on 09/10/2009, -23/+162Wilson is pandering to his constituents--the truth doesn't matter, only the votes.
- smacksaw, on 09/10/2009, -17/+155I have the balls to tell the truth: You're a coward.
- dn11, on 09/10/2009, -19/+154It doesn't really require that much courage to heckle in a crowded room when you know you won't be called on to substantiate your position.
- Jaysunli, on 09/10/2009, -8/+138Anyone ever take a trip over to foxnews.com and view some of the comments there?
If you haven't I suggest you do. It's a lot of fun.
Here are a couple excerpts
"The lying Obama got all wee wee'd up. Thank you Representative Joe Wilson for your honesty and speaking for all Americans!"
"Joe Wilson is my hero! He said what was being shouted at TVs all over America " - DooM, on 09/10/2009, -8/+136I love that his website is down right now - at least I know there are a LOT of outraged Americans out there.
- smacksaw, on 09/10/2009, -11/+138"Facts are meaningless. You can use facts to prove anything that's even remotely true. Facts, schmacts."
Homer Simpson/Sarah Palin 2012 - diemunkiesdie, on 09/10/2009, -17/+132Yelling at the President? Have they really sunk so low? I'm just shocked that anyone would have the audacity to do this. Sadly, him doing this might have been calculated to get the media to focus on his outburst and not the content of Obama's speech. Such a shame!
- inactive, on 09/10/2009, -23/+138It's shameful. and also, isn't adopting the position of no respect for the office of the president is a bold one? for a conservative and so-called "patriot."
- DooM, on 09/10/2009, -5/+108You can give to his opponent here:
http://robmillerforcongress.com/silo
(Props to Niradg for the link) - lhbaker, on 09/10/2009, -22/+123http://www.joewilson.house.gov/ is DOA as of right now. Let's keep it that way.
- jk33l, on 09/10/2009, -10/+107And because FactCheck.org says Joe Wilson is the lier on this issue.
http://www.factcheck.org/2009/08/seven-falsehoods- ... - ColumbusLee, on 09/10/2009, -5/+101I gave $100 through ActBlue. So far over $12,000 has been given to Rob Miller tonight as a result of Wilson's "Outburst"
- inactive, on 09/10/2009, -21/+114Send him an up your ass for being a strom thurmond sucking right wing ***** for brains cunnie...
Man wore the uniform, can you believe that *****?
And now look at him, nothing but a cowardly, gross shill and screeching childish liar.
***** the Right,
Pathetic and supremely useless, Almost...to a man, the GOP is nothing but liars and the lowest political cum stain possible in all history.
These fuknuts are the child porn of politics...absoulutely indefensible by anyone other then another molester abuser or right wing misery like themselves.
PS...I think I'll call each office every day for the rest of the week ;) - joculator, on 09/10/2009, -22/+115I've never seen anything like this before. The GOP needs to be shutdown.
- socialPsyence, on 09/10/2009, -3/+96Fair enough akspark, I know it's not fair to paint an entire state based on the actions of the few. But do me a favor and get that bum outta there!
- ChuckDees, on 09/10/2009, -32/+124This Republican is so dumb.
He doesn't even know what is in the Bill.
But he sure can act like he does.
Typical ignorance. - inactive, on 09/10/2009, -21/+110What's next? They'll be shooting spitballs at the President? What an immature *****. Fits right in with the other Republicants.
- smacksaw, on 09/10/2009, -9/+89Whatever, dude. You're still a coward.
Why don't you grow some balls, Digg this story up so that everyone can see it for what it is.
If you're so sure you're right, this should be some big ***** joke, right? When it gets to the front page you will be adorned with praise, agreement and diggs because of the strength of your position. If HuffPo is so bad, we should always promote it so we can expose it.
What are you afraid of? Specifically?
Nothing, it's just that in general you are a pussy coward like any person who suppresses information they cannot reconcile. If you can't face it head-on, you are a coward. - detcade, on 09/10/2009, -6/+84He looks like a child when he's doing it, even.
- detcade, on 09/10/2009, -5/+81He does represent his party, because his party let him be one of the most powerful people in the nation. His party turned a blind eye, and now his party is dying.
- homercles337, on 09/10/2009, -10/+86What the ***** are you talking about? On a DAILY basis lie after lie after lie coming out of repug/conservative mouths gets debunked. I honestly cant remember the last time i heard a repug/conservative saying something truthful when they have the microphone. Whats the weather like in your little echo chamber?
- TheHIV, on 09/10/2009, -4/+74Pelosi's expression there is absolutely classic.
- akspark, on 09/10/2009, -3/+72Will do friend, will do.
- jhbarr, on 09/10/2009, -5/+73There is a difference between making a face and interrupting and calling the President a liar. It's called decorum and respecting the office/location if not the man. But the party of "***** You" Cheney would not understand that. At the least, Cheney said it to the Senator's face.
- joecain, on 09/10/2009, -13/+80Wish I could say I'm surprised.
- UniversalGuy, on 09/10/2009, -5/+72I'm sorry not even Homer Simpson is stupid enough to pick Sarah Palin for their VP.
- oldhick, on 09/10/2009, -9/+75That's so pathetic. It doesn't take courage to act like a child.
- anohito83, on 09/10/2009, -7/+73if it doesn't pass we'll still be paying for their emergency room healthcare so it's a moot point.
- pandawa, on 09/10/2009, -13/+76Pelosi looked like she swallowed a turd after he shouted that.
- detcade, on 09/10/2009, -1/+64Uh, he's a Congressman. He's among the most powerful people in the country. He got there because people ignored his lack of maturity and now look what happens. They're all going nuts.
- lhbaker, on 09/10/2009, -10/+72I'm going to add you to my list of *****.
