The response is simple, "Never in the history of televised speeches before a joint session of Congress has a member called the president a liar. In fact, it is a violation of ethics rules, SET BY THE REPUBLICANS IN 2001, to do so on the floor of the House during a session of Congress. Censure is the minimum acceptable punsihment. Joe Wilson should be expelled for this outburst."

5. WTF???

Seriously, What the fuck are you trying to imply?

Did you even read the post?

Did you even notice the quotation marks on the subject line?

Do you really like making a fool of yourself?

6. That's all they've got?

Geez. Obama did drink their milkshake last night. He drank it up.

9. Yup, and the comeback is so easy

Some pundits made some hay about the Dems grumbling and booing in 2005, but that wasn't a first as demonstrated by how Clinton was treated.

Never in teh history of these things being televised has any president been called a liar by a sitting member of Congress.

Never.

8. Uhmmm. Grumbling always goes on. That happened last night and

that is not the issue. Someone yelling to the POTUS that he is a liar is different.

[WeDidIt]

10. Exactly!

And it's a violation of ethics rules REpublicans put in place after ahving called PResident Clinton every name in the book for eight years on the House floor.

[chelsea0011]

11. And Dems, even out of the chambers while giving interviews or

going on talk shows, almost never called Bush a liar about Iraq. Even though everyone knows he lied. No one ever screamed to Bush in chambers about anything. It never happened.

14. Censure him...

and move on. There are far more important issues to be dealing with than this slimy Republican. Let the voters in his district get rid of him.
