Thread: Please call & support Rep. Wilson

Rep. Joe Wilson is my hero for saying what we all know is true and I'm glad he got a chance to say it right to Obama. I'm tired of the Liberals telling us to sit down and shut up and just listen to their lies.

Please call the Rep. Majority Leader John Boehner and tell him that we support Rep. Wilson and he should NOT get into any trouble!

WASHINGTON -- In an extraordinary breach of congressional decorum, a Republican lawmaker shouted "You lie" at President Barack Obama during his speech to Congress Wednesday.

The incident came directly after Obama said, "There are also those who claim that our reform effort will insure illegal immigrants. This, too, is false. The reforms I'm proposing would not apply to those who are here illegally."

"You lie!" Rep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C., shouted from his seat on the Republican side of the chamber.

Wilson's shout drew immediate condemnation from both sides of the aisle, ultimately leading him to apologize. Wilson tried to call Obama to apologize in person, but ended up speaking to White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel.

The contrite congressman, "expressed his apologies" to Emanuel, not the president at whom he had shouted a few hours earlier, Wilson's office said.

By that time, Wilson's House Web site had crashed and he had taken a brutal beating on his Twitter page for breaching protocol and good manners during a presidential speech to a joint session of Congress.

"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," Wilson said in a written statement. "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."

White House spokesman Bill Burton told FOX News Thursday Wilson's apology has been accepted.

Immediately following the shout, Wilson seemed to sense that he had fouled up. Wilson appeared to consult his Blackberry for much of the rest of Obama's speech. He shook his head defiantly after several of the president's statements. When Obama finished, Wilson bolted from the chamber.

In the hours after Obama's speech, Wilson's Democratic opponent, former Marine Rob Miller, raised close to $100,000 in online contributions, Democratic sources told FOX News.

Wilson's wasn't the only interruption during Obama's speech, but it was the most notable.

Reaction to the outburst included criticism from members of Wilson's own party.

"Anybody who would cat-call the president of the United States addressing this body is very, very inappropriate, and he will hear from a lot of us about that," Rep. Jerry Lewis, R-Calif., told FOX News Radio.

Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said Wilson's behavior was "totally disrespectful. There is no place for it in that setting, or any other, and he should apologize for it immediately."

Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois called it "crude and disrespectful."

And Democratic Sen. Jim Clyburn, also of South Carolina, said Wilson "went beyond heckling."

"That was probably one of the most-insulting things I've ever seen," Clyburn told FOX News. "The people of South Carolina are not well-served by that."

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., said "I have never in my 29 years heard an outburst of that nature with reference to a president of the United States speaking as a guest of the House and Senate."

"It was a shameful act," he told WTOP radio.

Hoyer said he'll work with GOP lawmakers to decide whether to punish Wilson.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who spoke to FOX News before learning who delivered the yell, said she didn't intend to move to sanction anyone for it.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

The reforms I'm proposing would not apply to those who are here illegally."

I'm still waiting for the apology from the OBL's in the audience that hollered "Why Not?" when the POTUS made this statement. Not holding my breath.

I am glad Rep. Wilson spoke out on our behalf. We know that at least 83% of us don't want illegals to get "free" health care from our tax dollars. It is a great injustice to the American people.

Obama lies all the time and Rep. Wilson called him on it. The Rep party can not continue to be so polite to Obama and his radicals or we will lose our country to Fascism.

Obama doesn't deserve ANY respect he has lied, cheated, called us names and stolen from the American people ever since he lied his way into the highest office of our land.

I called and said that I support Joe Wilson and what he said is what my friends and family say every day - Obama is a liar!

i also called Rep Boehner , Joe Wilson said publicly what we were saying in private, he truely represented my family.

Great suggestion to call Congressman Boehner's office. Thank you.

I called and the lady who answered was extremely nice. She said that she would tell Rep. Wilson my comments of support if she saw him today. I said that this is the sentiment of the people protesting the government and the false claims that the politicians make. I mentioned that the Congress members mumble and make comments when Presidents of the other party speak, and his truthful statement was made loud and with silence from others.

Acknowledging that Joe Wilson will be excoriated in the press, Americans are saying," Go Joe." The mainstream media ignored Van Jones because he is a White House darling, yet he still was forced to resign. They will not ignore this. So the same people who got Van Jones to resign need to back Rep. Joe Wilson.

I also called the Republican Party head quarters and asked that a message get to Michael Steele - and that Michael Steele needed to get on the news and then ask President Obama if it isn't true then why isn't there a provision to insure US Citizens show ID?

The Republicans tried to add that into the bill but the Dem's took it out.

Someone needs to call them on their lies!
