Joe Wilson - Representative, SC (R): Liar or Idiot?

[arbusto_baboso]

Okay, let's ignore for a moment the horrible breach of decorum by Mr. Wilson when he shouted that the President is a liar. (The Righties will claim that our side has done the same, anyway, even though there is no precedent for a Democratic legislator doing something like this to a sitting Republican President.)

The real issue is this:

Either Mr. Wilson KNEW that his accusation of the President was a baseless one, which actually would make Mr. Wilson the *liar*. Or, Mr. Wilson didn't know the easily verifiable fact that *no* existing health care reform proposal would cover undocumented aliens, which makes Mr. Wilson an idiot.

So which are you Congressman Wilson, a Lying Sack of Shit, or a Complete Moron? Because those are your only two choices. Okay, there's a third possibility: you could be BOTH a liar and an idiot. But you are definitely at least one of those things.

Mr. Wilson, when you took office, you took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. It's obvious to me and many, many other Americans today that you cannot be trusted to defend and protect a pair of shoes. Do your state, and ALL states, a huge favor and resign. For the first time in your miserable fucking life, do the right thing and RESIGN!

2. being owned and paid by health industry - just doing his job for the good of his campaign

fact, over his entire congressional career, health professionals represent Wilson’s top industry contributors, donating a total of $244,196 to his campaign, according to the Center for Responsive Politics OpenSecrets.org database. He received another $86,150 from pharmaceutical companies, $73,050 from insurance companies and $68,000 from hospitals and nursing homes.

Among Wilson’s top contributors are the American Hospital Association, a lobby group that represents the interests of hospitals and health networks, and the American Medical Association, which represents physicians.

3. Good to know. That explains everything.

So, he's a fully-owned Corporate Whore. Which also makes him a Liar.

Spread the meme: Joe Wilson, Liar and Corporate Whore.

4. Both.

He had a copy of the speech. He knew what was in it. He didn't act out in the heat of the moment, and he's not a political neophyte.

5. Trick Question, Sir:: He Is Clearly Both....

8. Joe Wilson - Representative, SC (R): Liar or Idiot?

I will go with sack of shit. I wish these stupid fucks would

9. Both a liar and a idiot

[Octafish]

10. + 1

And he's a revolting human being.

14. Yep

11. Don't just get mad, get even. Research his past statements/policies

and his associations and see if there is a racist under all that emotion he cannot control although it looked rehearsed to me.

12. He may be genuinely crazy.

He could have been playing to his base, I suppose, but most of the other reps in the room knew generally how to behave.

It wouldn't surprise me to learn that someone at Fox suggested he make that outburst, in order to keep the deather spirit alive.

13. Idiot Supreme

Wilson's one of my favorites during the one minute speeches. Anyone who dares (or has the stomache) to google the C-SPIN archives is sure to get a ton of material. Firstly, he's barely literate. When he "speaks" he looks and sounds like he doesn't know what he's reading nor that he even wrote it. Then he always finishes with "we'll never forget 9/11"...in the same way James Trafficant used to say "beam me up".

Then there's watching Wilson in an interview...you just shake your head and wonder how someone THAT stupid could win election...as well as a reflection on the people who keep electing him.
