Sen. John McCain and Democratic leaders are calling on Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) to apologize for heckling President Obama as a liar.

Wilson shouted to the president "you lie" after Obama said illegal immigrants would not benefit from health insurance coverage from the reform bill. Obama glared disgustedly in the direction the remark came from, as did Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Vice President Joe Biden.

House Democratic Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.) called Wilson's outburst "embarrassing," while McCain said it was "totally disrespectful" and that there was "no place for it in that setting or any other."

McCain said Wilson "should apologize for it immediately."

Clyburn said South Carolina was already suffering because of Gov. Mark Sanford. "Now we got one of out Congresspeople to drive our reputation to a new low."

1. Wilson should apologize immediately. nm

[Iwillnevergiveup]

2. What a classless bastard

And another chapter in the "Disrespectful Moments We've Never Seen the Likes of Before Toward a Sitting President" book that someone should pen.

An apology ain't gonna cut it because this idiot will only say, "If I offended anyone, I apologize."

3. This is what you get when you allow the fucked up

atmosphere they created with all their birther crap and whatnot. And when I say allow, I don't mean to suggest that the government should stop it, but we shouldn't pretend that it's normal and legitimate behavior and acceptable.
