Joe Wilson apologized on his audacity during the speech of Barak Obama. On Wednesday he rebuked on President. Obama was addressing to law makers when Joe Wilson shouted “you lie”. Obama was declaring about the restriction of illegal immigrants to enjoy the Democratic plans for health care. Wilson is abashed on his attitude towards Obama. He suddenly stands up from his seat and shouted on Barak Obama with a finger. After wards he accepted that he regretted oh his ruthless behavior.
Joe Wilson is a Republican politician from the U.S. state of South Carolina. Joe Wilson admitted that there was no specific reason to become temper. He presented a sincere apologize on his misdeed.
Obama was paused due to the eruption of Wilson. No other democratic leader criticized Wilson for his misdeed except of Nency Pelosi. She is a house speaker. She pointed out the violation of the Wilson against president. Michelle obama was very disappointed on this incident. She was looking much upset in the visitors’ gallery. It was not a first incident when someone insulted Obama. A republican was laughed during Obama’s speech to a joint session of Congress.
Wilson given his apologize in these words,
“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.”
President accepted his apologize statement without any strict reaction.

Holy Schmolly Mr.Wilson – There may be high protocol in Washington activities, but I certainly feel you owe ABSOLUTELY NO APOLOGY to Obama for ABSOLUTELY telling the truth. In my book the rest of your constituency should have stood up and applauded you when you called him a liar. For what is written in the bill is NOT what he is saying. And you can pass this on to the rest of them members of Congress and Senate! Its about time all you people stood up to him and not let him take control which is REALLY what this bill is all about.
This Health Care Bill is just a “foot in the door” about taking over America. Don’t let that happen PLEASE!!
Thank you!

Gracias Sr. Wilson: Finally some one has called the President by His name,
I am a Cuban Refugee since 1965 I know first had how this people lie and
destroy a Country this is the PLAN and the reason for HIM to be agressive
is to silence the people that have the courage to epouse HIM and His Socialist friends, the tatic is demoralized and place labels on the opponets to destroy them, KEEP GOING WE NEED YOU.
GOD BLESS YAN AND AMERICA

I agree with Sheolyn Ponte point of view along with the other. I too feel THIS HEALTH CARE BILL IS JUST A FOOT IN THE DOOR TAKING OVER AMERICAN
DONT LET IT HAPPEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PLEASE

Joe Wilson is a nut.
September 11th, 2009 at 1:25 pm
Mr. Wilson,
The Democrats have no problem booing Republican Presidents, such as George Bush!!! They hiss and boo and make it very known they don’t agree!!!! I think you did the right thing in calling him on the lies he is telling. He is working so hard to cover up what REALLY is going on in that healthbill and sucker us all in to agreeing to accept it. It’s about time someone let him know that we know and won’t let him get away with it. There is no doubt he is intending to cover illegals and when we all try to see a doctor or have a test run, we will wait for months and years to see one and if we are elderly, they will just cut us off from health care. They need to find jobs first of all for everyone and a lot of this will fix itself and they need to fix Medicare and social security. Why would I trust the government with my healthcare. That’s between the patient and his doctor!!
Thank you.

Congressman Wilson
I wish I could have been standing next to you when you called Pres.Obama a liar. You were so right. He was not telling the truth about anything he said.
I’m proud of you for having the gut’s to speak up like you did. Never apologize for telling the truth. The real shame is that Sen. McCain and others on the right did not choose to support you. Now you know why the american people don’t trust this congress. Remember (TRUTH SUPERCEDES PROTOCOL)Stay strong,the people are with you!!!!!

Dear Congressman Wilson,
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
The TRUTH must be said. That man in the White House is a LIAR!
You are a true man of courage.
God Bless you!
And you will get a donation from me!
September 11th, 2009 at 6:01 pm
Wake up, people. Mr. Wilson is in the pocket of the health insurance industry. It’s a fact. Look it up. They’ve donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to him. He’s just playing to your idiotic fears so you will keep people like him in office. HE is the liar. Sarah Palin is a LIAR. AND YOU ARE ALL DANGEROUSLY GULLIBLE. Try exploring other sources of information other than watching Fox News. It’s well-documented that most if not all of the most vociferous critics of healthcare insurance reform are benefitting one way or another from the health insurance industry — politicians included. Why should Joe Wilson have a plan that is bought and paid for by struggling working Americans who do not have any insurance or are under-insured? It is well documented also that a public option plan is the best, economically and morally. How is providing a basic human right, like education, for example, like Medicare (which most of you ding dongs didn’t want but now scream about the government not touching it). I have yet to hear from anyone on your side of this issue, a coherent argument that is not fear-based, based in lies, or that isn’t just plain mean-spirited. One day the coverage you have may be taken away (and of course you have coverage), Then maybe you’ll see what’s happening. I pray that you actually exercise your brain, but even God can’t work miracles like that.
September 11th, 2009 at 6:32 pm
I hope you are blessed enough to have your mother still alive and healthy. I just know she wants to grab a bar of soap and wash those classless, rude words out of your mouth.
If your mom has passed and is enjoying the eternal bliss of Heaven, call me and I’ll come down and do it for her. She probably thinks you need a “switchin’” too.

Who are you Mr. Wilson to behave like you were in the jungle? You certainly do not belong in the US Congress!
September 12th, 2009 at 1:22 am
Rep Wilson – thanks for shouting the truth. Our president has lied so often that we can no longer trust him. I doubt he really knows what is in the proposed health legislation. Thanks for standing up for many of us.
September 12th, 2009 at 1:49 am
CONGRESSMAN WILSON,
YOU SIR SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF. ARE YOUR BOYS PROUD OF THEIR DADDY FOR CALLING THE PRESIDENT A “LIAR”. I CAN’T IMAGAINE WHAT KIND OF FATHER WOULD SHOW THAT KIND OF EXAMPLE TO THEIR CHILDREN. THEY DON’T KNOW BETTER, BUT YOU SIR SHOULD. DID YOUR PARENTS TEACH YOU THE WAY YOU’RE TEACHING YOU CHILDREN?
September 12th, 2009 at 11:55 am
Thank you Joe for standing up against elitist, socialist demagoguery.
September 12th, 2009 at 1:11 pm
Mr Wilson,
I can’t believe what you did? You should be ashamed of yourself. You are exactly what is wrong with this country. Might be time for you to leave? We have just endured 8 years with probably the worst president in history of which you were part of. Our Health issues are destroying people, families and lives. We have had 8 years of nothing and we finally have a President who is willing to try and fix things and you call him a liar. What a disgusting human being you are.
September 12th, 2009 at 1:36 pm
To Joe Wilson:
Thank you for your outburst and your total last of respect for the president…I was happy to donate to your opponent just to get you out of DC
September 12th, 2009 at 1:46 pm
While I don’t agree with the outburst, and sliding protocol, I have to agree with the congressman. OBAMA IS A LIAR. Where is the website you promised us? Unemployment is still rising, you are spending money at the fastest pace in recorded history, you are personally bringing on Inflation, and you are turning the greatest country in the world, into a socialistic JOKE.
SHAME ON YOU MR. PRESIDENT.
September 12th, 2009 at 1:55 pm
I am sorry Mr Obama’s feeling were hurt by someone questioning his honesty. I guess he should not have entered the political world if he can’t take a little criticism. I think our political system should take a few pointers from the British where they challenge their leaders verbally and have to stand up for themselves. By the way, why is it OK for the dems to boo Mr Bush or call him a war criminal etc?
September 12th, 2009 at 2:01 pm
To S Allen, of course everything is racist to those who have no other argument to make. It gets old when you keep relying on the same old crutch of calling people racist when you can’t talk about issues. Everything is racist to those who can’t think for themselves
September 12th, 2009 at 2:07 pm
Thank you mr. Wilson for speaking the truth. The president is lying!! The brain mushed masses who can’t think for themselves better understand that if this bill get’s passed we will ALL pay for it. There is no such thing as a free lunch. It must be payed for and there is not enough people who make over $250,000 to do it. If the bill passes I will be back to remind the people what I said here.
September 12th, 2009 at 2:21 pm
There is no question, loud mouth..you should resign and resign now. Regardless of your opinions, he IS THE President and is entitled total respect, something that your SOuthern up bringing did not teach you. You wil not win any election, even if you were running for dog catcher..the dogs would spit on you!!!!!!!
September 12th, 2009 at 2:26 pm
You (a Republican Leader) should be ashamed and embarrassed for your UNPROFESSIONAL comment during the President speech to the Untied States Congress and to the American People.
I feel sorry for your wife, children & parents, who must stand beside you with humiliation caused by childish behavior toward our President of this great country. Not only your unwanted and unnecessary outburst showed the lack of control and maturity as a leader, but your seemly callous uncaring apology for your action was disingenuous and disgusting. What was most amazing was that you had to be talked to and told to apologize by your fellow Republicans before the media. What a good example you are setting and teaching to our youth in regards to courtesy, proper conduct and restraint. What a great picture you had displayed to the rest of the world, as to our way of civil democracy.
As a fellow Republican, I am extremely disappointed in you. You have no respect for your State (who you represent), your family (who should be ashamed & embarrass) and yourself – who we now know your true degree of maturity & professionalism (zero). If you had respect for your profession and the people you represent, you would not utter a sound until the proper venue allowed it, whether or not your comment was justified.
September 12th, 2009 at 2:28 pm
P.S. to my last remarks. You are so devoid of class and culture that you are not only an insult to your State but to the entire Congress as well. I’ll bet your children are 150% red faced over your stupid and lurid remark. If I had lots of money I would wage a media campaign to make sure you never ever get elected again. This country should be ashamed of having you as a citizen. The bag lady on the street has more class then you have or will ever have.
September 12th, 2009 at 2:56 pm
Joe wilson,
Your outburst was motivated by pure adulterated racism, hatred, and evil. The same evil that kept us in slavery for hundreds of years. God put Obama in his seat! And if you can’t handle the fact that a Black intelligent, handsome, young man is President and has authority over you. Then take it up with God…NOT Obama. The only ignorant indidviduals who support you have the same evil racist heart as you! I would hate to be a racist white person when judgement comes from the almighty and the tables are turned!
September 12th, 2009 at 3:24 pm
Congressman Wilson,
I salute your honesty when you spoke up during President Obama’s speech. While it might not be considered proper protocol, I feel that you should be commended for daring to speak out the truth even if the timing wasn’t considered proper. One of America’s problems has resulted in the “politically correct crowd” that attempts to sugar coat every thing even when it’s wrong. As a retired R.N., I know that the names given to the counselling of older people is called many names other than “death panels,” but it is identically the same. Your apology was sufficient since it occurred at that particular point in President Obama’s speech, but do not give them further apologies as you were 100% correct!! God bless you and continue to tell the truth always!!
Race is not part of this problem, and has no place in this debate!! I do not see President Obama as a black man, but hopefully he is an American, as he should be!!
Sincerely yours,
Carol Ann
September 12th, 2009 at 3:26 pm
To Nana & Richard – Is this President above criticism??
To Steve, s allen, Tim, Larry & Michele – thank you for exposing yourself through name calling as opposed to any rational argument.
To Liz who co-mingled name calling with an attempt at a rational argument. (You need to do furhter research and discover for yourself how many of the large insurance companies have come out in favor of national healthcare because they mistakingly believe that it will help both their gross and net profits.)
As to Congressman’s comments, while it may be argued that it was not the proper place, I wholeheartedly support them and him and wish that more politicians of all callings had some backbone. At present and for the last 100 years the system has slowly been robbing the American citizenry of their freedom. I do in large part place the blame on the citizens themselves because they have been too involved in material pursuits and ignoring Washingtopn. The citizens have abdicated their power to Washington and it is far past time to take it back.
September 12th, 2009 at 3:57 pm
Dear Mr. Wilson;
In my opinion your statement was as truthful as saying that our President is a Black man.
Would Obama be mad that we call him a Black man.( it is as truthful as he is a Liar.) No pun intended but we need to call Spade a Spade. How are they going to punish a man that is my hero,as Obama would and has said( Not on my watch.)
September 12th, 2009 at 4:10 pm
Joe,
Thank you for standing up for the truth, and having the courage to say something. When a man has the audacity to stand in front of you and tell a bold face lie, I think it is totally appropriate to call him on it. God willing your children will follow your example and have the courage to stnad for the truth.
September 12th, 2009 at 4:44 pm
Mr Joe Wilson. Thanks to you. We will now be switching to the democratic party. We have seen it all. We are so embarresed at the way most Republicans act now.You are pathetic. We are sure you will loose your seat in congress
September 12th, 2009 at 4:48 pm
No matter what the facts, some people, expecially the ones who agree with the disgusting politician Congressman Wilson could care less about the truth. These are the people who have destroyed American image around the world. Bushites….. These lies will not go unanswered this time around. Crying and lying will not win you elections. That paradigm has left the station.

Way to go Congressman Wilson! I know your apology was something you needed to do as a man with a good upbringing but I wish Conservatives would give this administration what for. They ARE liars and we who have a brain in our heads know it. They think they’re putting one over on us but they aren’t
September 12th, 2009 at 5:26 pm
Thank you Mr. Wilson for speaking what many of us have been seeing since the beginning. Though you may have broken protocol, the truth needs to be heard and seen and I thank you for speaking out. Do not give in to the tyranny of the opposition.
Respectfully
September 12th, 2009 at 5:47 pm
You are a disgrace. no manors, act like brought up by wolves. Do one honorable thing and resign. Your mother must be ashamed of you. What fool shouts out during a presidential speach? Oh you have no emotional control….stupid excuse. GROW UP
September 12th, 2009 at 5:50 pm
Congressman Wilson:
Bravo! You are a man of truth willing to stand for your convictions and willing to speak the truth. You are quite unlike President 0bama who continually twists words and will not speak the truth.
Bravo!
September 12th, 2009 at 10:05 pm
Thank you Congressman Wilson for calling it for what it is. I don’t care which party you belong to. If they’re lying they need to be called out. This healthcare bill may not contain the wording “illegal immigrants will not be covered” or “abortions will not be covered”, etc. But what is there to stop them from manipulating the interpretation thereof when the time arises? This happens in Washington all the time. President Obama stood there during his speech and told Congress and the American people, “anyone who misrepresents this plan will be called out.” Well Mr. President, you were called out on September 9, 2009.
September 12th, 2009 at 11:10 pm
I am glad people are speaking up and out…the next step is at the polls
September 12th, 2009 at 11:25 pm

September 12th, 2009 at 11:26 pm
If people are allowed to clap and have a standing ovation at the presidents speech, then you should also be allowed to boo, and shoutout.So grow up people lets just all be silent.
September 13th, 2009 at 12:22 am
Mr. Wilson
You showed disrespect to the office of The President, whether that President
is either Democrat or Republican there is no place for shouting out “your
emotions” during a speech. You may roll your eyes and act disinterested
like the other Republicans but it out of line to act out….yes its childish.
If I was voted in S.C. I wouldn’t be voting for you or any other Congressman
who is so disrespectful. Conservatives are shooting themselves in the foot and
I for one will never vote for another Republicans until they change their tune.
Respectfully
September 13th, 2009 at 1:31 am
JOE!!!! STOP apologizing!!!! … The level of Hypocrisy is laughable…. Obama is a LIAR, a con man, a socialist, an ignorant ideologue and a fool…
Oh no… did I just say that… I must be a nazi and a racist!! … Oh I almost forgot… NAZI stands for NATIONAL SOCIALIST, and the KKK was started by members of the DEMOCRATIC party….
It is not the time for decorum, it is the time to fight back… Our country is on the brink of destruction… Barry doesn’t care about the poles… He only cares about going down in history as the Man who toppled the great USA… Capitalism built this country, and socialism has systematically destroyed our great country… we are not a group of people…. we are a group of INDIVIDUALS!!!!
September 13th, 2009 at 1:32 am
Sorry to all Polish people out there… I meant POLLS…
.. haha…
September 13th, 2009 at 1:36 am
You owe no apology for stating the obvious. Stand your ground and maintain your principles. Obama is a socialist in disguise who has a hidden agenda. Keep representing the american people.
September 13th, 2009 at 4:46 am
Finally, we have someone who told the Emperor that he wasn’t wearing any clothes!
We need more Congressmen/women to tell this egotistic, arrogant, unintelligent [if he was intelligent he wouldn't need 37 czars to do his work] inadequate leader, bully, insecure, spoiled child of a man. God bless Joe Wilson.
This administration is the most vile, un-American, un-Christian, cold, corrupt,
un-compassionate and greedy politicians I have seen in 67 years. God should come down and strike those corrupt and lying politicians dead.
You go Joe! America needs more politicians like you to weed the good from the bad.

Question: How does calling Obama a liar become a racist remark? Why is it that blacks turn everything into a racial issue? Remember it wasn’t only blacks who voted for Obama – it was also the far left socialistic and some idiotic whites.

I am behind you all the way!What you said was the truth.Amazing how when this action is on the other side we are suppose to forget and give the liberals a free pass when they did the same thing to President Bush in the past .I am really sick and tired of this one sided bull!If I was sitting next to you during that time,I probably would of shouted it out too!.Though,not the best timing,I fully understand the fustration in all this nonsense and corruption that this administration is doing.As you can see,there are millions of us that have had it and cant take this political cancer anymore.We so desperately want to remove it. Please do not pay any attention to those that are negative toward you.They are not worth it.For everyone that is blasting you about it,you have many that are with you and are praying for you.Plus,you where gracious to apologize for it but my husband and I felt in all due respect,really was not needed.Respect is earned and shouldnt be freely given to those that do not deserve it.Until this administration stops acting like millions of us do NOT exist as normal ordinary people from all walks of life,different political backgrounds,etc,,not some group or organization that is behind our concerns and questions, I have refused to acknowledge them and they will not get any respect from me.
September 13th, 2009 at 9:55 am
Dear Honorable Mr. Joe Wilson,
I salute you for being the lone person having the ***** to stand up to this president, who is, without a doubt, the biggest master deceiver ever to be elected to a major public office. You have stated what MANY,MANY of us honest, hard working family men and women feel. Until now, our voices have not been heard. The media is downplaying, if even giving any time, to the masses who demand that this president, who may or may not actually be a naturalized citizen, follow the Constitution as written-and not try to rewrite it.
Again, thanks for standing up for democracy and truth. I, and many of my friends and relatives, love and respect you for your bold stance and action. We support you as a candidate for presidency in 2012. If we can be of further help or encouragement to you, please let me know.
With respect and appreciation,
Ron S.

Joe Wilson should stand in front of the committee this week with the Director of the CIA and Videos of the American People. Before he makes any more apologies, Nancy Pelosi should be forced to apologize to the CIA Director for the CIA of being liars and the American People, who pay her salary, for calling them Nazi’s who are wielding swastika’s. She owes the American People of this Country no less than that!
September 13th, 2009 at 2:46 pm
You spoke for many of us when you called Obama a liar. You apologized for saying it where you did, he accepted, end of story. Those who want to punish you further are guilty of the same type of things against conservatives and have NEVER apologized! They just want to take the light off what they are trying to do to this country. They want to intimidate those with opposing views and make them afraid to speak up. So they censor you, so what? Let them! Just keep doing the good job you have been doing. We need people like you in congress to speak up before it is too late. Keep up the good work!
September 13th, 2009 at 2:52 pm
Dear Mr. Wilson,
Your comments were right on. How can you insure more people for less money? He says he has a plan? What is it? If he reforms Medicare and Medicaid, who is this going to affect? Again, I don’t hear him talking about this? To me a lie is not telling the full truth. I applaud you for standing up for this state and this nation.
September 13th, 2009 at 3:03 pm
Congressman- I am glad that you will not apologize on the House floor this week. The Office of the President earns the respect but sometimes The Office needs to be corrected by unusally means of respect. Tired of The Government spending money the way the do. Wish Congressman Dan Lipinski was as bold as you were last week. Keep the People in mind always. Thanks PKK
September 13th, 2009 at 4:09 pm
Thanks for saying what I would like to say to them.
THANKS AGAIN FOR SAYING WHAT A LOT OF US WANT TO SAY AND BE HEARD!!!!
September 13th, 2009 at 4:42 pm
Joe Wilson is a racist and has no respect for the office of President. He’s an embarrassing example to American school children and his own family. He’s made South Carolina look foolish and like a bunch of ignorant hayseeds.
September 13th, 2009 at 6:31 pm
WAY TO GO JOE
Maby now some others in Congress might find some backbone. We need to get the illeagles out of this country and let Americans go back to work in these jobes. I worked hard in construction, but now people don’t want to work. Cut their unemployment benefits so they can hardly make it and then maby they will go out and get a job. Our country needs Sara
September 13th, 2009 at 7:53 pm
Representative Wilson,
While I believe your “yell out” was a breech in protocal in the House, I also commend you for having the guts to speak out. The American People are tired of being lied to to their face! I have no trust in President Obama, he is lying to us and guiding us down the primrose path! I am tired of the Politics of
Political Correct correctness. Black or White, the President Lied ! Personally,
I don’t trust Politians at all. I believe after a year or two in the spotlight, they have been corrupted and what is good for their people and America is in second place. First place becomes wealth and position!
Here is a Racical Idea, why not lay the plan out to the American People and “WE THE PEOPLE” will decide what we want?? We need a specific plan to study in order to decide if will benefit the Nation as a Whole, Not small or racist groups of people and certainly not special intrest groups. Let The People Decide !
September 13th, 2009 at 8:26 pm
I am with you Congressman Wilson
Evil happens when good men do nothing. Evil is happening, but you are doing something. Your life has been a history of walking proud and putting ideals in front of personal gain or person danger. We need a hundred more just like you in Congress. Don’t blink. ATTACK
September 13th, 2009 at 8:34 pm
Dear Congressman Wilson,
You had the guts to say what more are thinking…..
I am a retired LTC, army guard, and I thank you and your sons for their service.
Your apology was enough, do not apologize again.
Pelosi and her cronies need to focus on important issues and not use this as another smoke screen for their mismanagement of this country.
Stand tall Sir, you are doing a good job!!
September 13th, 2009 at 8:37 pm
Congressman, I believe that you are truly sorry for speaking out when you did. You actually said what millions of american have been yelling at their TV sets for months. Millions feel that they have been lied too. The government is trying to take over many of our rights. We need to go back to what our fore fathers had intented this country to be
September 13th, 2009 at 9:05 pm
YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED!! No one is asking you to agree with ANYONE but your outburst at that moment in time showed what kind of person you are. The people of South Carolina should strongly rethink about their representation. THAT WAS NOT THE VENUE, Wilson! I don’t care what you believe; if you can’t control yourself at those moments, you might serve everyone better by taking a job in a ballpark, where you can shout out all you want. If you’re ever on my ballot, you won’t be getting my vote… EVER.
September 13th, 2009 at 9:19 pm
Apologize, resign and get the mental health treatment that you need and deserve. You have the great healthcare 50 million of the rest of us don’t have.
A sick man who needs medication and counseling. And a liar and hypocrite (and a racist).

Is this what I fought for ? Lies, smears and insults?
September 13th, 2009 at 9:23 pm
Why in the world would you say you are sorry for telling the truth to a person who has never held a real job,never served in the armed forces,who surrounds himself with criminal czars and is leading this country into the ground for others to come in and take us over? WAKE UP AMERICA.All of you sick puppies who had your head up your butt that wanted change are now seeing what change is. If you don’t see it or refuse to see it let me help you out. How does starvation,homless,unemployed,soup lines, being a bag person, having your family sleep in a tent city sound to you as a change ? Instead of getting behind this guy we should all be asking the question.”where do we start the process to IMPEACH ?” It is time to clean house with everyone in Washington,bar none.
Don’t think for a minute that the bean pickers won’t get medical care. All they have to do is show up at a hospital and they will be taken care of so there goes the speech about not spending a dime on them.Get your head on straight,open your eyes and start to think at what you are seeing.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! To Joe Wilson for speaking what many of us were saying to our TV sets at the same time. I am not from South Carolina but sure do wish you were from North Carolina.. we could use some good Republicans in our state. I have read the house bill and there is alot of work to be done on that bill to save our freedoms.Sorry Michele who wrote apology not accepted especially with afro-americans. This is not a racial issue As you would like to make it but an issue for all concerned american citizens.
Maybe he shouldn’t have blurted out according to protocol but he sure said what many of us wanted to. oh! by the way Democrats dont forget the speech George Bush gave in 2005 when most of you blurted out.. no apology there.
TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH I STAND !!!

Dear Mr. Wilson,
I have tried to call your office and to e-mail you directly and have been unable to reach you. My relatives from Canada have asked me how you got into office. My children wants to know why you still have your job. I want to know when you are going to step down, You are an embarrasment. The disrespect you have shown our President has traveled across the world. We have freedom of speech but the Senate floor is not an elementary playground. And get your facts straight; you are so wrong. I have worked in healthcare for over twenty years. Our elders are choosing between food and heat. The terminally ill are dying with the burden of leaving their families with huge medical debt after losing their jobs and their homes. The nations children need basic care and healthcare. They are the future of this country. Please go away. we need some constructive conversation to solve the many problems our country faces in the future.
September 14th, 2009 at 12:30 am
You’ve done nothing wrong. Bad manors yes. But as an honorable man does,you spoke your heart. That makes it right. To apologize to him was enough.
As for the rest of them, you owe nothing. Respect is earned, not bestowed. Many of them have not earned it. The fact this happened proves this.
What you did was spoke what many many of us have cried out. For that, you have earned my respect. The end justifies the means. Because of what you did. They corrected the part of question. It should have been address long before this.
I thank you so much, and hope to see ore of this in the future. Only will acts like this will we truly get a productive policy. It’s sad it takes being pushed.
God bless you, please keep it up. For us.
September 14th, 2009 at 1:23 am
We in South Carolina are proud of you. You said what most of us were thinking.
God bless you and keep up the good work. I will be sending you a check.

September 14th, 2009 at 2:09 am
God Bless! You said what so many of us wish the rest of congress would say. Why is that? Is our president that intimidating? I am so disgusted with this admini-
stration. Our government is increasingly corrupt! We need more people like you!!! It looks as though next year is time for house cleaning!! Washington will
see just how organic the teaparty groups are. They are trying to discount us but
we are continuing to grow. You did right by apologizing for the outburst only.
Ww must pray fervently for our country and take a stand. Don’t ever give up!!! We can do it!!!! Come on everybody let’s stand together!!!!!!!!!!!!!
September 14th, 2009 at 3:05 am
Didn’t this guy serve in Mussolini’s administration with all the other Fascists? Weird that he doesn’t have an Italian last name…
(for those hateful racists and religious fanatics bent on dividing and destroying America that have a tough time with multi-syllabic words and/or basic history, Mussolini led Italy into WWII allied with the Nazis. You can google fascism – too much to get into here.)
September 14th, 2009 at 3:06 am
Open mouth insert both feet . I always wondered where that stupid character on TV – GOMER PYLE – ended up.
Now I know.
September 14th, 2009 at 5:33 pm
Joe Wilson spoke the only truth I heard Wed. night!!

Thank You Joe;
For saying what The Silent Majority have been trying to say but are not being heard by our representatives. I have sent off E-mails to my Congressman telling him to stand up for you, get a back bone and stop the destruction of our country or we will vote him out. Do not ever apologize again, the people are behind you. Thanks Again

Hey Frank,
Not all Italians are facists or mafia, you moron.
So you can kiss my a$$, and if you don’t like, let me know where to meet you so I can kneecap, a$$hole!
September 14th, 2009 at 10:49 pm
YOU RADICAL LIBERAL SCUMBAGS make me want to vomit!I can only hope for the worst for you. Congressman Wilson TOLD THE TRUTH, so he owes no one an apology! BarackHusseinObama-the muslim- is the LIAR!! B.H.O. should be the one on his knees apoligizing to the American Citizens of what a terrible liar that he is and has been. He was born in Africa! He is the most dishonest POS in D.C. along with with his minions & czars. They ALL need to be ousted from D.C. (District of Criminals). Representative Wilson is the only respectable person that actually stood up for the good of the American Citizens. He should be hailed as a true American Patriot! McStain is a worthless representative since he has defended B.H.O. more than once, and called for Wilson’s apology. I’m ashamed that I voted for McStain. He lost his ‘cajones’ after Vietnam. His true fighting spirit is gone. I’m voting Independent Constitution Party next election. Most of the Republicans and All of the Democreeps are sickening to this country, and should be thrown out of their positions. All are rich millionaires from stealing our hard earned tax dollars and from their “ill-gotten gain”. May God Bless Congressman Joe Wilson.
September 15th, 2009 at 12:45 pm
Hey Juan Cabrea, If we did not let you in this country in 1955 you would not be able to speak out against any president. You would be sucking on Castro nut sack as we speak. Yelling how much you love cuba. President Obama has been sincere in his efforts to help this country unlike Bush and Cheney who stole from us and gave trillions to their friends. Joe Wilson is no patriot he himself is a liar and a closet bigot. People passion about health care did not show up under the bush administration when the cut funding and made senior pay more for health care in their golden years. So Mr. Cabrea you know opression when you see it and said nothing during the Bush administration. Now a sign of hope is before you and you side with Joe Wilson! You are a slave to your own prejudice
September 15th, 2009 at 12:56 pm
Joe, It takes a speacial person to swim against the tide and with Congress telling the truth is definitely against the tide. Yes timing could have been better but your message could not have been any stronger! With upcomming BS coming at you, know that there is a great part of America that feels and is saying the same as you have, keep speaking for the people you represent! Also do not let the racial card be played a liar can be of any color. Integrity is the issue and why true Americans have little faith or confidence in the current leadership both Congress and the President. Thank you for your sevice!
September 15th, 2009 at 1:58 pm
Joe, whatever you do, brother, do NOT apoligize EVER for your idiocy. I want to keep you in that light forever and ever. I am happy you brought the Sara Palin Trailer Park sideshow to the halls of Congress. To hell with decorum, my man, just shout out any old thing you want at any time, like some backwoods Tourette’s victim with a high-paying job any monkey can hold.
Well done, sir! When America thinks of Republicans, we think of you!
Just awesome.
September 15th, 2009 at 4:13 pm
Mr. Wilson, Thank you for saying out loud what a lot of Americans have been thinking. I appreciate that you spoke your mind and hope that you will continue to in the future. Good luck and God bless!
September 15th, 2009 at 5:50 pm
Joe, Shom,
The rage about Health Care reform can be summed up as:
“What YOU (rich, healthy, working and insured) don’t need, They (sick, laid off, poor and uninsured) CAN’T Have.
That sounds like “SHOVE IT”. Thought that you (Southern Christian hypocrite) were ABOVE it.
Immoral REPUBLICAN (BUSH STUPID) HACK!!!
September 15th, 2009 at 6:02 pm
keep up the good work. Don’t back down from these liars.
September 15th, 2009 at 8:57 pm
Joe Wilson spoke his mind and emotions. I wish more of our representatives spoke their minds and their hearts. Obama didn’t lie about the bill not allowing undocumented aliens, however, he did not tell the full truth. The bill does not allow people to be identified. Therefore, as in the past and now the undocumented aliens will simply go and not have to produce any verification of citizenship and they will receive healthcare at our expense. The bill needs to specifically state that all receiving the benefits must prove citizenship. Of course, they can have the forged as well. Let’s face it, the whole movement is a plan for Obama to socialize the country.
September 15th, 2009 at 10:14 pm
Such double standard crap!! People can disagree with anyones idiology and not be a racist. Bush was booed and hissed at during his speach – were they racist? That jackass rap singer did what he did on the VMA awards to a white girl, was this racist. I am so sick of this card being played by the liberal left whenever they dont get their way. We have currupt things and serious issues in this country and world and this is we have to discuss. Anyone has the right to call their president Bush or Obama a liar. Thousands have died to give me that right. So kiss off and yes Obama is a liar!! Deal with it.
September 15th, 2009 at 10:40 pm
Hurray for you, Joe! Maybe that venue wasn’t the place to call Obama a liar, but it what 52% of the citizens of the US know is true. If Obama says it, then the opposite is true. The man is a pathological liar. The next elections will prove that he is not capable of leading our great country. Look whom he surrounds himself.
The old Democrats need to wake up and realize that their party is not longer the part of John Kennedy. It has left you and is burying you in its ashes.
When are you going to truly consider what all is going on?
September 16th, 2009 at 1:15 am
Dear Congressman Wilson,
Thank you for standing strong against those who have enjoyed a double standard. They are not used to a push back. Stay strong and do not submit to these political bullies.
September 16th, 2009 at 1:24 am
Boy are you in for a shock.
I am the least racial person there is.
I did not vote for Obama. First, is not black he is a
malato (may be spelled wrong). I would be happy to vote for a black
person. The right black person, be they male or
female. HE was not the right one.
He has been bought and paid for just like
all the others. He just a good talker
(with a telaprompter).
HE DOES LIE and HE DID LIE.
There is such a double standard in Washington
that it makes me sick.
The main street media is so biased, I can’t
stand watching them. So I don’t.
This is just another thing to take your
mind off what is really happening.
Taking away our rights and our country.
Spending our childrens, childrens, childrens
future, with no end in sight.
I don’t care who is in office.
They are just the means to an end.
The destruction of the
United States of America. The once proud country
my father fought for in the Pacific in WWII
to defend and preserve our freedom.
The first born son of legal Mexican Immigrants.
So don’t talk to me of racism.
I hope you all wake up and take our country back
before there is not country to take back.
September 16th, 2009 at 2:59 pm
It may very well be that racism played no part in this whatsoever. In fact, the more I hear Joe Wilson open his yapper, the more I am convinced he really is just a stupid man working for stupid people who like what he does. Hey, he is a member of Congress, put there by voters in South Carolina. He obviously represents their thinking, and in doing so reveals a lot about that particular state. He is an idiot, and as such should be dismissed out of hand as an idiot until the state comes to its senses, takes down that ridiculous Confederate flag that still flies over the State House, and sheds its Dukes of Hazard lovin’, Strom Thurmond-backin’, tobacco-chompin’, hillbilly image and takes a step at least into the 20th Century, nevermind the 21st.
What bunch of rubes.
September 16th, 2009 at 5:32 pm
Thank you…it’s about time someone has spoke up!
Please don’t stop!
God Bless America
September 16th, 2009 at 5:36 pm
Time will show that you did the right thing despite the time-wasting behavior of the Democrats. I know it’s hard now, but you’ll be able to sleep and live with your decision.
While not nearly the scale of scrutiny as you, I am University instructor who was once “ruled against” by a university lawyer when I accused a student of cheating when she submitted a paper in a writing class written by someone else. Even though I had hard evidence that the student bought the paper, it became my fault because I did not say in the assignment that the paper submitted should be “an original.” I lost lots of sleep over the matter, sometimes causing me to want to give in since that seemed the easiest route. But in the end I gave her a zero. My university now has a policy that defines submitting bought papers as cheating.
I hope you know that doing the right thing might be the hardest route but it will lead to positive outcomes in the long run and attract more good around you.
September 16th, 2009 at 5:49 pm
Mr. Wilson,
As a former long time Charleston South Carolina resident… I find it appalling that the current population of the great state of South Carolina was bamboozled into electing such an ignorant, low class, individual such as yourself as a representative their state.
Your recent childish outburst on the House floor and lack of civility or manners is not representative of South Carolina or the South in general.
If you can’t muster the manners of anything more than an out of control 2 year old child. Then maybe you should consider stepping down and allowing proper representation for South Carolina.
September 16th, 2009 at 9:04 pm
Thank you for standing up and speaking out on behalf of those that do not support President Obama’s continuous plan to deprive the American people of their own civil liberties and rights to a free market economy. We cannot afford to accept his plan and we cannot afford to listen to Pelosi, Biden and the multitude of democrats that are working to erode our nation’s foundation. You owe no apology. If we had more representatives willing to speak out, perhaps this nation would be better off. I don’t care about decorum. Take care of me and my country. Speak when you need to!
September 16th, 2009 at 9:14 pm
Congratulations! It is refreshing to know that someone sees where this administration is going. Obama has done nothing he promised while he was campaigning and the change he wants is not the change the American people want. Wake up America! Thank you Congressman Wilson.
September 17th, 2009 at 2:50 am
Joe Wilson is racist Pure and simple. His remarks about Thurmond’s daughter when she made her press conference to reveal that he was her father prove that.
September 17th, 2009 at 3:26 am
Sheolyn Ponte’ when will you realize your only being used to keep the right wing rich while everyone else suffers. Please read the healthcare plan YOURSELF and stop listening to all the idoits who are controlling your mind. You make yourself sound just like an Idiot. Take a good look into Joe Wilson’s background and all the kick backs he has gotten from the health care insurance companies and then make a statement that does not make you sound like trailer trash. All the politicians are liar’s. But then again you sound like a bigot.
You Say: For what is written in the bill is NOT what he is saying. And you can pass this on to the rest of them members of Congress and Senate! Its about time all you people stood up to him and not let him take control which is REALLY what this bill is all about.
Reread the bill: It is clearly stated. Are you that much of an idiot?
Obama is not taking control. Everything has to pass through the house and senate both republican and democrates. Or did you forget? It is sad that you make statements that don’t make any sense, but definately make you sound like and idiot.
Move to South Carolina where you will be welcomed.
September 17th, 2009 at 3:28 am
Is not lying to congress a federal crime where is the rest of the republican party thank you Mr. Wilson for speaking the truth.
September 17th, 2009 at 2:58 pm
What a joke wilson is! He’s like a little kid who gets angry. Wilson should apologize to the country for being such a poor example of an elected official.
September 17th, 2009 at 4:25 pm
Wilson is a jackass!
September 17th, 2009 at 7:56 pm
Democrats didn’t seem to have any problem calling Bush a liar. Why the sudden pang of civility?
September 18th, 2009 at 7:32 pm
Joe Wilson is an another name for douchebag.
September 18th, 2009 at 8:44 pm
If joe wilson is a racist….. Then EVERY SINGLE BLACK LAWMAKER that called George W. Bush a liar on Iraq is a racist also.
FACT: Every single President in American history has been scrutinized and called names FOR THEIR POLICIES!!
So, to say we can’t scrutinize Obama because it would be percieved as racist, IS RACIST IN ITSELF!!
September 18th, 2009 at 9:39 pm
Just prior to Mr. Wilson’s comment Obama called the republicans liars. Our country has gotten to the point where one cannot even voice their opinion without being called a swatiska wielding white supremist (thanks Nancy Pelosi), racist or other derogatory name. The middle of the road Americans, albeit Republican or Democrat had better wake up. We are headed toward socialism. This whole health plan is a boondogle that is going to cost middle class Americans a fortune. Obama admitted he has not even READ the whole package but there are intelligent people out there who have read it but if they question the program, they are derided. We have millions of people here who are illegal immigrants (they have broken Federal law) and nothing is being done about it. When they use our Emergency facilities they will be given health care – who is going to pay for it. Enough of my soapbox — folks, concerned people need to go to the polls — show those far left, extremists that they haven’t taken the right to vote away from us – Yet.
September 22nd, 2009 at 11:57 pm
I first have to say that I agree with all the original points made regarding Joe Wilson’s outburst. It was nothing less than sophomoric, and an embarrassment to the historical Congressional system of dialog.
I would also like to point out that the form in which these points were presented, by which I refer to the blogger’s abhorrent grammar, really needs to be addressed and corrected. I’m sorry, but if you have a point to make, at least try to sound moderately educated in the native language. Anything less only serves to reduce the effectiveness of the argument.
That said, I find it a truly sad day in America when our own representatives become so entangled in the frenzied national ignorance of the moment that they can’t manage to control themselves while on the very floor of Congress.
Mr. Wilson: though your pathetic outburst may cause others of your lowly caliber to giggle with excitement like little school children, and empower still others crawled from the lowest rungs of humanity to boisterously pronounce any and all random synaptic misfirings produced from anencephalic intellects, you have shown yourself a true and simple reactionary, fatuous beyond a fault, incapable of proper conduct and a civil discourse. I truly feel sorry for you and your writhing and rabid constituents. Moreover, I feel afraid for the degraded state of our nation, owing to the recent and ceaseless, gaudy and proudly displayed ignorance of you all. You and your kind are a real threat to our beloved country.
September 27th, 2009 at 3:00 am
Barry Hussein Obama said just before this idiot screamed “you’re a liar” that anyone not going along would be “called out”… BHO lied and was called out. Otherwise, if you scream in a room full of liars: “you’re a liar” and everyone in the room don’t give the same look Piglosi and Osama gave, heck folks you get the picture, right?
