"You Lie!"

Talking Points Memo‏ @TPM 6m6 minutes ago
Constituents shout "you lie" at Rep. Joe Wilson in raucous town hall http://bit.ly/2nB6Pg3

Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) got a taste of his own medicine Monday, when attendees at a town hall chanted “you lie” in response to his assertion that “I’ve also supported the local solicitor here, and the solicitor in Lexington, all efforts to make sure that violence against women is fully enforced."

The Charleston Post & Courier posted video from the event, in which constituents also criticized Wilson’s support of the American Health Care Act, the White House and House Republican leadership’s effort to repeal and replace Obamacare.

The Post & Courier noted that Wilson voted against reauthorizing the Violence Against Women Act in 2013.

In 2009, during an address from President Barack Obama to a joint session of Congress, Wilson yelled out “You lie!” after Obama said that his health care reform effort would not insure undocumented immigrants.

...He also raised at least a million dollars in campaign funds in the days immediately following the outburst, CNN reported at the time.

1. Ha! So there is such a thing as karma.

[riversedge]

2. ah. Karma is wonderful. Thanks for post

[gratuitous]

3. Lemme guess

Rep. Wilson will bolt for the nearest Fox studio to complain about the incivility he had to face and boo-hoo-hoo, and he'll get a soothing, respectful hearing from all and sundry.

[lpbk2713]

4. I'd say his fifteen minutes is over.

His shelf life has expired.            BWAHAHAHA

[WhiteTara]

5. Now they need to vote his lying ass out!

[awesomerwb]

6. YEs, that would truly be karma.

These f-ers don't care.
The very next moment they're ready to start screwing their constituents again.

[riversedge]

7. Kand REC

[raccoon]

8. I so wish I'd been there! Joe Wilson has had this coming a long time.

He should've been reprimanded by the Congress for his rude, ugly, inexcusable behavior toward President Obama.

edited to add: I regret that I have only one rec to give to this thread.

[TNNurse]

16. I would have paid an admission fee.

[MyOwnPeace]

20. I'm

adding a "rec" to support your cause!!
You are SO right - that the elected body of "gentlemen" or "honorable representatives" would sit there with their thumbs up their - well, let's just say - they are as evil as Joe himself.

(that "smiley" is a "positive" sign for "raccoon," not meant to represent the Republicons surrounding Joe Wilson!)

[meow2u3]

9. It's about time Joe Wilson got a taste of his own medicine

Karma's a bitch, Joe, and she just bit you in the ass! Woof! Arf!

[MurrayDelph]

10. Funny, I went to Jeff Merkley's town hall yesterday

and he got nothing but applause, and at least for standing ovations.

[lark]

11. Love the coordinated chanting of "you lie"!

Karma will be complete when he's ousted from office. Make it so!

[MyOwnPeace]

21. You are SO right....

the "chant" was WONDERFUL - and so deserved!
And, YES, he deserves to be left on the curb for the next election.

Really, I will NEVER understand how someone like that can even face himself in the mirror every day.............

[rivegauche]

12. AWESOME.

I've hated that piece of shit since his outrageous disrespect to President Obama. I'm delighted he's getting it right back in his ugly face from his own constituents.

[narnian60]

22. +1000

What he said to President Obama has been a big bug up my ass since that day. This is a little bit of payback, but still not enough to satisfy me.

[MyOwnPeace]

24. The best part.......

"his own constituents!"

Oh, yes, just LOVE it!!!!

But, by GAWD, they'd better not send him back again!!!!!!

[3catwoman3]

32. Dollars to donuts...

...they will send him back.

Nancy Pelosi's dagger look that night was memorable.

[Percy Cholmondeley]

13. This is what happens

when billionaires buy elections.

[berni_mccoy]

14. What goes around, comes around. Eat the shit sandwich you served

[pangaia]

15. Somebody throw a shoe at him...

[Initech]

18. Gladly!

And I have loafers on, these things could do some damage!

[NastyRiffraff]

17. No one deserves it more

What goes around...

[Augiedog]

19. Republicans can't open their mouths without lying. It's inherent, natural and inbred.

[Fritz Walter]

23. I'm guessing the crowd couldn't bring their pitchforks into the meeting

Overripe tomatoes and rotten eggs are a lot easier to conceal.

[ck4829]

25. K&R

[muntrv]

26. Hey Joey! What goes around comes around!

[bagelsforbreakfast]

27. Hope he flys United back to DC... n/m

[The empressof all]

28. LIAR

L. Look
I. It's
A. A
R. Republican


Disclaimer. I stole this from another member here!!!! Whoever you are. It still makes me smile

[murielm99]

29. Is anyone running against him?

[SCantiGOP]

30. Probably can't be beat

A Marine who had served two tours in Iraq ran against him twice after his "you lie" episode. Well-funded and well-run campaign, and he ran as a moderate, and he lost by 8 % first time and 10 the second. District is seriously gerrymandered. Goes from the affluent suburbs of Columbia all the way to Hilton Head and has less than 20 minorities.

31. How sweet it is!
