Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) yelled, "You lie," tonight during Obama's address to Congress about ObamaCare after he said the health care bill would not cover illegal aliens.
Funny. Health care covers illegals now.
Nonetheless, his remarks brought grumbling and rumbling from the audience and then a very clear voice with a clear message, "You lie."
Catch Pelosi's "You have been singled out for destruction" look afterward.
Wilson did apologize, though Obama was lying. But hey, when is he not?
“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. 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.”Allahpundit from HotAir had great commentary:
The culprit was South Carolina rep Joe Wilson, who felt moved to act when The One told what was, in fact, a lie. Although certainly not his biggest of the night: Where this jackass gets off lecturing Americans on civility after his cretinous cronies spent a month demagoging the hell out of every protester in sight is beyond me. You’re Mr. Clean, aren’t you, champ? And bottom-feeders like Harry Reid are your hatchet men. Nice work if you can get it.
Liberals are always quick to get offended, while simultaneously the worst in being offensive. Yet conservatives are expected to apologize.
Sorry. A lie is a lie. One who speaks them is subject to being called on it. That's part of the "fun" of lying, being faced with the truth in a public forum.
If the President doesn't want shouts of "He lied" during his speeches, he might try not lying. Just a thought.

The president said, in his speech last night, that he would call out anyone who made false statements, or twisted the facts about the Health Care Plan. Only fair that the same follows for him. He got called out on one of the MANY lies from last night.
Repeating something over and over does not make it so.
When is he not lying you ask? When his lips aren't moving!
