Time for censure or be prepared for more disgusting displays of disrespect

[kaiser soze]

how come the dissenters all come from former Confederate States of America?

[QueenAdrock]

You know what this reminds me of?

President Camacho: I've got a solution that will fix everything!
House Representative: I've got a solution! You're a dick! South Carolina, whassup!


If only Obama pulled out a semi-automatic he could shoot off into the ceiling....

Well you must hand it to Reid for being honest (y)

anyways, you'd think the republicans would show a bit of restraint out of respect just a day after the whole country collective turned their backs to Obama's school speech

but it's not about respect, it's about socialism, and communism, and muslims, and terrorism, and lying, and whatever is next in their list of names to be called....

and how do you know that the guy who called obama a liar regarding coverage for illegal aliens wasnt lying ?
Oh, that's right. he'll make the illegal aliens legal, and then give them free health care:

:rolleyes:

[Echewta]

the point isn't what was said but where and how it was said. This wasn't a town hall meeting. This isn't the House of Commons. The President was addressing Congress. You sit or stand up and clap for I don't know how long. Thats it.

If you take issue with what the President is saying, you go about it in other ways. Keep up stuff like this and next thing you know people are throwing fists.

this is false information.

do you not support LEGAL aliens coming to America, becoming citizens, and getting coverage?

there are people in this country who are not citizens and are allowed to be here, you know? these people have to go through a process to become legal.

[QueenAdrock]

CNS News, whose saying is "The RIGHT News, RIGHT now." Uh-huh. :rolleyes:

Anyways, what's wrong with making people legal in this country? They've been here for decades and contributed to society, but for some reason all the xenophobes come out and start saying how it's giving them a "free pass." They work hard here, and America was based on immigration, and I have yet to hear any good argument for kicking them out that doesn't scream of "I'm afraid of foreigners." Which reminds me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEedZJka1HQ

I sympathize people who want to come to America or Canada or other wealthy nations to have a better life. I think it's pretty close-minded and selfish to think otherwise.

[DroppinScience]

I'm so glad this little bitch is getting flack for his outburst. I hope he gets censured and loses re-election next year!

To say that the bill provides medical coverage to illegal aliens is like saying the Medicare prescription medicine benefit applied to illegal aliens because it didn't prevent them from buying ibuprofen.

The gentleman from South Carolina is lying.

He is a liar and and obstructionist. Wilson along with everyone in that room is guilty of sucking on the collective healthcare lobbyists balls, some just preferred to be more exhibitionist about in front of the American public.

What a sad group of representatives we witnessed during this speech, while the numbers of uninsured increase they demonstrate how completely insensitive they are to everything but the health insurance corporations profits.

Pathetic. How low well we let these people stoop?

this is the Medicare Prescription Drug and Modernization Act that was passed in 2003 under the Bush Administration. Rep. Wilson voted in favor of this bill.

The law is the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA), which among other things reimburses hospitals, certain physicians and ambulance providers for some or all of the costs of providing emergency care to undocumented immigrants. Section 1011 of the MMA authorized $250 million per year for FYs 2005-2008 for those payments. Two-thirds of the funds are divided among all 50 states and the District of Columbia, based on their relative percentages of unauthorized immigrants.

Is it possible Rep. Wilson is uninformed?

also, it turns out that Brother Joe is indeed a member or former member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, run by a neo-nazi White Supremacist.

ronald reagan granted amnesty to illegal immigrants. even bush supported amnesty and a pathway to citizenship.

[skra75]

seriously, this dude should be fired.

If I pulled that shit to my boss, yelling like I was at some Knicks game, I'd be fired. Shit ANYONE would be fired.

Fake apologies that perpetuate the original agenda of the graceless, tactless, attention-seeking original douchebag offenders are all the rage these days. I think you could get away with calling Kanye West the Joe Wilson of pop culture.

WILSON VOTED FOR COVERAGE FOR UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS IN 2003

Fake apologies that perpetuate the original agenda of the graceless, tactless, attention-seeking original douchebag offenders are all the rage these days. I think you could get away with calling Kanye West the Joe Wilson of pop culture.

He was forced by his own party to apologize, he did so after a demand and now this racist representative of a party of 0 ideas outside screaming lunatics says he will not, can not and should not apologize to us, the American people who are completely fed up with this nonsensical juvenile representation.

Joe Wilson is a jack ass. A truly disturbed coward who cannot apologize because he is making money for being rude. As long as it is obvious that is his style I'm fine with it.

So now we know his game plan. We know his inability to man up to the majority of the USA that finds his behavior reprehensible.

PT II of Dowds (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/16/opinion/16dowd.html?_r=1&ref=opinion) Ed/Op piece, Rapping Joe’s Knuckles

“When we are done here today,” said the man who accused the president of lying, “we will not have taken any steps to improve the country.”

Actually, Wilson is dead wrong again. When House Democrats, and a handful of Republicans, reprimanded the congressman on Tuesday evening for refusing to apologize to his colleagues for breaking the rules, it was quite a wonderful way to improve America.

It was a rare triumph for civility in a country that seems to have lost all sense of it — from music arenas to tennis courts to political gatherings to hallowed halls — and a ratification of an institution that has relied on strict codes of conduct for two centuries to prevent a breakdown of order.
