UPDATE:
WASHINGTON (CNN) “” GOP Rep. Joe Wilson of South Carolina issued a statement Wednesday night apologizing for his outburst during President Obama’s speech to Congress:
“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.”
Steve says
At least he spoke his mind and last I checked, I believe we still have free speech here! What I find most amusing, is that God forbid someone criticizes the “annointed-one”….. You will be called a racist by all the flaming left-wingers.
What a joke this country has become!
Politicalmusic says
Free speech? Joke? Really?
Why is the country suddenly a “joke?” Because of disagreement about an outburst? I think you are being reactionary.
Besides, even free speech has limitations. Certainly, Congress has well established norms and decorum. This is the whole purpose of Roberts Rules of Order.
Regardless of your politics, the instance was an embarrassment. We spit on our country when our Congressman blatantly disrespect our Commander and Chief. I was adamantly against George Bush, but a liberal congressman screaming at him during an Address to Congress is absolutely unacceptable.
This isn’t a town hall meeting. Decorum in Congress is different than some rank protester outside.

I have to agree with Joe Wilson… he only blurted out what most of us watching were thinking and know… I respect Pres.Obama but he is definately on the wrong track with this one. Joe Wilson should be given a medal for his courage!

Everybody has taken this freedom of speech to the maxx. I have never seen and heard so much damn corruption in ONE section ,the so called “White House”!We need to do some serious house cleaning in Washington,DC.
I agree give Joe the medal of courage!!!

Joe Wilson is the most stupid clown I have seen in a long time. There is a time and place for disagreements. This is one of the reasons why other nations have so little respect for the US. Its because pricks like Joe, have such a blatant disrespect for the highest office in this country. It must be something in the water in South Carolina. First that stupid ass Governor using tax payers money to fund his F— fests with his mistress and now this idiot. They both need to grow the hell up. And to all you butt whole who dont want health care, you would be singing a different tune if it was you or a loved one laid up in the hospital on your sick bed, one operation away from bankruptcy. Stop being so damn selfish!!!
Tom says
Nice to see a Rep with Ba__.

astroturf says
three cheers for rep jor wilson. Its allright for the leaders of the house and senate to call the people names but when we call their boss what he really is they dont like it. Its time for the GOP to get some spine whoever called for him to apologize should go home because you dont have the courage to fight the democratic big goverment socialistic leftist machine thats pushing their agenda, they will stop at nothing to pass it. look at the cronies and friends and ministers they hung with before he was elected and the methods they used. So you better be ready for a battle no holds barred to fight for our freedoms. Just hold on to the freedoms you can, the majority will be back in your favor after midterm elections because the liar has been identified and his real agenda discovered and people can see him for what he realy is. signed astroturf freedomfighter!

Why do we name our children certain names?
To carry on traditions and meanings.
Think hard about this one.
Where is the church this person goes to? No mention of it!
Where is the media? Here we are writing on this blog site. Doing the job of the media.Thank the Lord for computers.
I stand with JOE WILSON.THIS IS A MAN OF COURAGE!!!!!
bj says
I just had to chime in because of the totally misinformed men and women who continue to harp “respect the office” and the Republicans are so baaaaaad. DO some research all you who continue to spew this type of rhetoric. Check out the Democrats who booed George Bush during the state of the union address. How classy was that? Oh yeah, because it’s your team, it’s okay to cheat. If it’s the other team, hold them to a standard you don’t even possess. All I really want to say is, “Go Joe Wilson; you make me proud to be an American!”
SC Citizen says
Joe Wilson was very disrepected to the President simply because he didn’t have any respect for himself. Yes I am going there, Bush lied all the time to the Americans people but nobody ever called him a lie doing any of his speeches or to his face on national television maybe a shoe or two thrown at him.. The signs are all there. Joe is a racist he let the Americans people know that he is. He have disgraded the State of SC who he represent as a leader, what kind of role model he represents to our children.
He need to hide himself instead of wanting to be the main focus in the news or maybe he want to be in the public eye like Governor Sanford since they both from the prejudice state of SC. Joe I hope you can live with yourself in due time God will take care of all the racisms in the world he don’t judge people by the color of their skin because he made of all. Ignore is a strong word when you act out on it in the wrong way. Thanks God for President Obama who is a cool laid back guy that is intelligent, smart and humble not matter what is thrown at him. All you haters ,he is the President of the USA.
Dave says
I thought this debate was about Health Care. Why do the Reptilians continue to talk about everything other than Health Care. I think all the Reptilians are nothing more than corporate shills. Who we are at war with is corporate America not each other. We have been sold out lock stock and barrel by these corporate hugs and hob-goblins. Yet the Reptilians continue to believe they somehow have their best interests at heart. You poor dumb unthinking bastards cant you see the writing on the wall. All we will soon be left with is a service based system that allows us the privilege of wiping their corporate asses and changing their Depends. As manufacturing jobs disappear faster and faster and they outsource everything else you will have only your Reptilians selves to blame in your misguide defense of our country. The Reptilians seem to forget they had many years to do something about Health Care during the years of President Dumb and Vice President Mean and you did nothing but line your own pockets with the concept capitalism at any expense. Face the fact ya got our asses kicked in the last election and shut up and let someone with a brain and compassion fix what you so badly screwed up.
simony4 says
We don’t need a cool laid back guy for Prez. We need a strong intelligent leader. I’m sick and fed-up with these people using the racist scheme. I would call anyone out who is a down right lair. Joe Wilson is a leader and he is not hiding behind anyone. This is about health care and all the lies about it.This cool laid back guy is being pulled in the wrong corrupt direction.
mel zontine says
Well, what about when in l995 while Prez Bush was giving a speech to the congress and the demos booed? sorry all this apologizing doesnt wash. Both parties are the same.

I love reading all these comments…again the point is being missed by both sides. Joe Wilson was frustrated, as we as AMERICANS should all be, with our rights being taken away. When will we work together and get over ourselves and do what needs to be done? The government is too big and wants their hands in everything possible. I have 2 big brothers, I don’t need another.
GOD BLESS US ALL….
