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.”
North Carolina says
Interestingly, the facts support Obama’s statement. It just shows how ill informed and how carelessly some members of Congress treat legislation. It also make you wonder if Joe Wilson doesn’t have some other agenda for being so hard core stupid.
edgar m says
Joe Wilson exhibited a behaviour what the republicans and conservatives are known for : mean-spirited, one-tract-minds, not to mention selfish!
For every civilization, there will always be people like them and the people they represent. What I cannot reconcile is they claim to be religious and passionately against “abortion” but has no qualm in starting a war that kills people, causing undue sufferings to familes left behind.
Those people who share the same philosophy are fools as best!!
lawmiss says
This wilson man is typiccal of the republican party. He’s loud, offensive, rude misses the issues and will do anything to derail the present government.
He obviously has untreated mental health issues and is just as obviously unfit to serve in the united states congress. He should be removed from office immediately. His outburst is an indication that he’s too immature to ccodntrol his emotions, and he can’t even control his verbal outbursts. he sounds better suited for a management position at a zoo.
Mike in Florida says
What’s with these right wingers playing the illegal immigrant card all the time? How many illegals do you know? How do these illegals get health care or any government aid with out a SNN? I can’t get my cable turned on without a SSN?
Get off the ridiculous distractions; ie illegals, death panels, socialism and have a real discussion. DO YOUR JOB!
ReformedLiberal says
When you can’t explain why your guy is lying, just call the other guy a racist. Obama did lie. Half of the speech was lies. How can you add millions of people into the system and have it cost less? Let’s just start by answering that, please! There is so much wrong with this plan, and the people who luuuvv Obama, just refuse to see it. Look at Canada having doctor shortages, and extreme wait times. Please look at France, where the system is bleeding red ink. Republicans DO want reform. The President lied again the other day in Ohio, when he said Repubs didn’t have a plan. He knows what we suggest. Tort reform, portability, no denial for pre-existing conditions, and vouchers that would let you choose your healthcare plan. Stop drinking the Kool-aid! They are selling this as some altruistic gesture to the American people, when it’s just a power grab. How come it doesn’t kick in till 2013, if people are DYING right now? Same reason only 10% of the stimulus has been spent. This man doesn’t care about you. He wants the power plain and simple, and he’s using our tax dollars to secure it.
Florida says
How many years of calling President Bush a liar; and now for the first time someone calls President Obama a liar in public, the leftist come out of the woodwork to scream RACISM, BIGGOTRY, YOU BUNCH OR RIGHT WINGERS, and now lets SLANDER JOE WILSON in a public forum because its ok now since he called our beloved President a liar.
President Obama is a RACIST. MOST LIBERALS are racist. Playing the race card when its not justified only makes you a racist.
I voted for Obama, but thanks to these last 8 months, I have learned from my mistake.
SEE YA IN THE MARCH ON WASHINGTON!
Beau says
Ok all of you REPUBLICAN HACKS! So why didn’t you call out Bush when he lied to the American people Over and Over. You cannot say he didn’t it has been proven beyond a doubt that Bush was the biggest lier in the White House along with his sick side kick Dicky Cheney.
I guess you think if it is a republican lying then it is ok right?
Obama has not lied to the American people, Your Republican Congressman and Senators in their town meeings have been trying to lie and twist everything they can about Health Care reform.
Beau says
Florida,
You might want to try to learn to read and understand what you read if you are commenting on my post. I was responding to a poster on here. Not Joe Wilson, he isn’t worth my time. A poster on here hates Obama and what it Boils down to they don’t like a Blackman in the White House. Heck I see it everyday. If you Republican clowns would open your eyes you would see it all around you.
As for Calling Bush a lier, you cannot be that blind to not see that Bush was a proven Lier. Bush Lied and Lots of people died!!!!!!
Besides Bush almost ran this country in the ground and made the USA the Laughing stock of the World because of his STUPITITY. But I am not sure that was what really made us the Laughing stock of the world I think it was when you Republicans Relected Bush to a 2nd term I think that is when the World saw how stupid some People(Parties)can be in the USA!!!!!!!!!
Florida says
If President Bush lied, and you have proof, that would be different, but just saying spouting he lied without proof is ignorant. He repeated the garbage that he was fed by the intelligence community, and our allies. Was he lied to, maybe, doesn’t mean he lied. If the information he gets is innacurate is repeated by him, doesn’t make a liar.
On the other hand, if President Obama says he will not provide health insurance coverage for illegals, he is lying. The US currently provides healthcare for illegals. Its against the law to be denied coverage for emergency conditions for any human in the US. He would have to come out and say he is ending this practice to say “We will not provide healthcare for illegals”. Research before you come out with inaccurate statements.
nayonowen says
what he did was terrible. We all can agree to disagree. Its too bad that there are some men who are jealous of an articulate educated man. who will respect mr. wilson now. he needs to go home and shut his door.
Annette says
To all of you that think you have enough money to cover any future medical problems that you, your family and other loved ones encounter, because you have the “best coverage” that money can buy, I wonder what would happen if you came down with a life threatening illness that required thousands of dollars for treatment and thousands of dollars for your monthly medications, and your insurance company decides to put a cap on your policy(if it doesen’t already have one), I guess it is okay, to just drop your coverage and let you or your loved one die, if you run out of insurance and/or money,right? You don’t feel that you or your loving family deserve help from anyone after you’ve contributed to this society most of your life, right?
Before you speak on who you don’t want to help, put yourself in their shoes. Think about, who are you helping, with your current frame of mind? You are helping some rich guy get richer, and some poor guy, one that has worked all of his life, but lost his job and lost his coverage, die, because he can’t afford preventive medical treatment, and you are helping the country that you claim to love, drown in evergrowing health care fraud, waste and abuse.
Stop thinking about just yourself! Think about your children, and their childrens’ children, they may not have a silver spoon in thier mouth, don’t you want to be assured that regardless of their financial situation, they can receive the best heathcare available if they need it?
Richard says
Joe Wilson is entitled to his first amendment right to free speech. He had the courage to say what millions of Americans know. Pres. Obama and his communist allies in the congress have been lying to the American people for months. It is time to stop lying to us. God bless Joe Wilson.
jvilla says
at least rep wilson has the huevos to call obama a lier, which he is because he told katie curic that he would cover illegal children and illegal is illegal. we cannot be spending billions of our hard earned money on illegls . they have a country let their country take care of them. they dont belong here! they need to be deported not be given free medical plans
1 they will fine americans but not illegals for not having medical plan
2 will not use the e verify on this health plan
3 will cover illegal children and why should we pay for illegal children, and when they become adult illegals will they cancel the health plan
4 why did the bill to exclude illegals did not pass and why did it not pass\
SO YES OBAMA WILL COVER ILLEAL ALIENS BECAUSE WHEN THEY GO SIGN UP , THEY WILL NOT ASK ARE YOU ILLEGAL IN THIS COUNTRY!
Florida says
Annette,
Problems is give the government a task:
1. Social Security – FAIL
2. Medicare – FAIL
3. FNMA, FREDDIEMAC, and oall the rest – FAIL
i’m stopping on those 3, if you need more, let me know.
Name one thing the government has managed and NOT screwed it up.
Why does Congress, the President and the Judicial branch have their own retirement and healthcare? BECAUSE THEY DON’T TRUST THEMSELVES!
The current system is broken, yes. Everyone can agree on that. Healthcare costs are skyrocketing because its the racketeering of the insurance companies and the government. If illegals continue to walk into emergency rooms and get medical care from our system, we will pay through higher doctor bills.
The state of Florida tried the same thing by requiring all home insurance companies in the state to insure all risks, not only just the ones they deem acceptable. Before, those who lived in the center of the state payed lower insurance premiums and those who live at sea level next to the ocean payed higher policy rates. With the new law requiring the insurance companies to insure all, it did one thing only. It kept the rates on those living in a hazardous location the same, maybe dropping some, and those living inland in low risk locations paying 300% more. Yes, the state of Florida has its own “PUBLIC OPTION”, which means you can get insurance if nobody will insure you. The price for that insurance is NOT cheaper by any means. My tax dollars subsidizes the cost of that insurance for those high risk locations. Fair to me, absolutely not. Its all about personal choice. If one major disaster, ie a cat 5 hit florida and traveled the state, the state of Florida will be bankrupt. Do you actually believe that they have the money standing by to cover these hazards??? lol
STOP TRUSTING THE GOVERNMENT, THEY REALLY DON’T HAVE YOUR BEST INTERESTS AT HEART.
Sara says
Chairman Obama is a lying deceptive person. He has surrounded himself with communist czars because he himself believes in their objectives to destroy our republican form of government so wisely handed down to us by our country’s founders. You can judge a person by his friends. Obama and his leftist leaders in the congress hate this country and what it has stood for. They want to remake it into a fascist, communist state where they are the few privileged people and force us to be dependent upon them with the wealth they have stolen from the productive class. Speak up and stand up before we lose our freedoms. Congratulations to Joe Wilson who himself is a colonel in the S. Carolina military and who has four sons in the military. The military has high ethical standards and doesn’t approve of dishonest liars like our Chairman Obama and his leftist friends in the congress.
E-Lee says
After reading these posts I still don’t believe there are 5 Americans that can honestly defend Joe Wilson. Good try to the 3 people sending in multiple posts to give an appearance of broad support. The President was clear about what he will and won’t sign into law. The majority of Americans got it and are moving forward. Just as the President was remarkably poised and undeterred so is this movement. Your comments of hate are irrelevant at this point. Respect the office, and the man. In conclusion – since this is such a socialist plot and bad plan, when it passes make sure you are 1 of the few without health insurance. Kind if like all of those who opposed the bailout but accepted the money – LOL… Go Mr. President
Florida says
E-Lee,
Joe Wilson noticed a lie and caught him on it. We are diverting off of the truth by blaming Joe Wilson for acting out of line. The President lied, get over it. He currrently allows illegals to get healthcare now! He could have stoped it the first day he was in office! Did he? NO!
President Bush is gone. Stop relying on him as your crutch for all of the country’s problems. President Obama has borrowed and spent more money than all of the previous presidents combined. Now he wants to add an additional 1.6 TRILLION DOLLARS TO OUR DEFFICET and you are ok with this? What about your social security? What about your medicare? Shouldn’t they be fixed first, before taking on another problem? Lets get the right priorities in order here.
Healthcare reform is needed, most are not denying that. Lets be skeptical of what our government drafts and inspect very closely. Somebody will have to pay for this, and it will most likely be you. If President Obama pulls the same stunt he did on the “Bail Out” package and pass it ask quick as possible to prevent congress from reading it, its going to be just another bag over the american people’s heads.
Bella Rose says
It is unfortunate that in 2009 America is still trying to be a “good old boy” country. It is VERY obvious that the thorn in the side of this country is that a Black man is in the white house. PERIOD!! They are going to continue to attack him because of fear and ignorance. We saw it with his attempt to encourage young people to stay in school, and we saw it with the ignorant senator from S. Carolina who so rudely disrespected the president. People hate it when the word racism is used, but that’s really all it is. The republicans continue to spread fear, and white folk who did not support Obama are buying it hook, line, and sinker because they are afraid they are going to lose something. The only thing this country stands to lose is continued disrespect from the rest of the world because we don’t practice what we preach. Wilson needs to resign, and the hate and fear mongers need to be ready for a 2nd term for Obama because it’s coming.
Daxter says
I see a lot of comments from “Florida” here. Does this person not know that nobody respects anything anybody from that state has to say. Lest we forget that Florida and the supreme court gave the election to the Bush because they wanted business as usual? Face it, this country is afraid for the playing field to be level for all people. Perhaps people need to understand the concept of the greying and browning of America. Simply put… The baby boomers are dying out and like it or not, Latinos are fast becoming the majority. I lived to see a Black man take residence in the white house, and my neices and nephews will live to see the kind of America Dr. King and Ghandi spoke of. For those who cringe when the word “racist” crops up when our president is attacked, you cringe because the truth hurts. I wish all this disagreement was about the proposal for health care because God knows we need a change, but it really isn’t. The truth is, it’s about fear that a black man is in the white house and for a change, those who have not had a voice or real representation in Washington will finally get it. The conservative war machine and the so-called right wing don’t want change. They want women, immigrants, and blacks to “stay in their place.” The place for all Americans is a country where all are truly equal in fact and not just on paper. Quote the constitution, but do you really support it? I think not. My prayers go out to joe wilson ecause he has put both of his feet in his mouth. No apology can take back what you said. Thank God Obama is a bigger and better man because he accepted the apology. Those of us who want to see this country truly become a better place will do all in our power to make sure joe stays in South Carolina when his current term is up.

Kudos to Rep. Joe Wilson.
Obama needs to be told that he is a liar, a thief, a fascist bordering on being a communist, a cheat and, above all (the worst description of him I can think of) a criminal Chicago community organizer.
chris says
I was so ashamed of Joe Wilson last night. You can disagree with the President but NEVER disrespect the office. We kept our mouth shut for 8 years with Bush. Joe Wilson apology has been accepted by Pres. Obama, but he need to check his emotions at the door. He was a total Fool and Ass last night.
chris says
Florida remember give Bush 8 years FAIL….

One last thing…If Joe Wilson can state it, why is his website down..I say because he can’t take the verbal lashing back…

Good for you Joe!! Saying what most people feel. Don’t let the cowards like McCain stand in your way. I’ll be donating to your campaign! Congrats!

As Jon Stewart put in so perfectly…”I think that you are confusing tyranny with losing!”
Joe says
Thank God for people like Joe Wilson who are standing up to this racist tyrant.
I can not believe we have over 3 years left of this crooked nightmare of a President.
THANK YOU JOE WILSON FOR SPEAKING UP FOR THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS WHO HAVE NOT BEEN BRAINWASHED BY THIS CROOK.
Kanisha says
This message is to Chris, you state “We kept our mouth shut for 8 years with Bush”. What are you talking about, Bush was made fun of and disrespected EVERY SINGLE DAY!! Did you not watch the news??? Rep. Joe Wilson is entitled to his opinion, what are you so upset about?
I guess it is okay for the Obama administration to name call anyone that does not agree with their policies and call them: Nazi’s, anti-American, mobs, etc. But someone voices their opinion regarding B.O. and LOOK OUT!!
You may not agree with Rep. Joe Wilson, but this is the UNITED STATES of AMERICA and he is entitled to his opinion (free speach)!!!
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish Joe would move to my district. My rep is a POS liberal too, and is so far up Barry’s a$$ that every meal he eats is covered in chocolate. We can’t wait to be rid of his worthless a$$ too. 2012 can’t come fast enough. Hopefully we will still be able to recognize our great country once all you kool-aid drinkers are done with it…

A response to Bella Rose:
You said that “It is VERY obvious that the thorn in the side of this country is that a Black man is in the white house.” Well, Bella Rose, I think you are the one with a problem and a racist! If anyone disagrees with Obama’s policies, that automatically makes them RACIST???? GIVE ME A BREAK!! Actually Obama has a black father and a white mother, so doesn’t that make him both!
I am so tired of the “RACE CARD” being played whenever some one disagrees! Shouldn’t a person be judged on their PERFORMANCE not the color of their skin!! Can you give me specific examples of what you think Obama has done thus far that is so remarkable? Where are the “shovel ready jobs” that were promised? YOU need to judge on merits, not because of his skin color.
Annette says
Florida,
And you think that big business (Insurance/pharmaceuticals) is looking out for your best interest? Talk to the doctors that are feeding you medication because they are getting kickbacks/Perks. The system you support is only looking for the greenbacks. Government certainly doesn’t have all the answers, but at least they are trying to address and find solutions.
Complaining and condemning is not the answer. Pull up to the table and let’s discuss, test, and implement solutions.
Social Security, Medicare, Freddiemac are failures to you, but think about the millions of people that would be S.O.L. without them.
I see them as solutions, that have helped a lot more than it has hurt.
I have not needed to use any of these systems, but thank God they are there if and when I ever need them….I hope! Think of it as “paying forward”…giving back for all that you have been blessed with!

Barbara says
It’s an outward display of how much hate is bottled up in the elected people that are to care for all the peoples of these United States of American. The good ole boy club is running over with members, actually they have gotten bold enough to take the hoods and capes off and wear suits. How can anyone truly say, we (America) is not done with the black and white issues. We are not worthy to police the world.with our narrow minded leaders that have no vision for their own coutry, certainly they can not serve others fairly.
Joe Wilson maybe the one person that showed his racism, but those Republicans that sit there with that self-rightous attitude,without opening their mouths showed the world how they truly feel about doing what is best for the American people.
Ladies and gentlemen I would like to introduce you to the Republican Party of the United States of America, the setting Senators and all those that stand with them. Oh! my bad it’s the good ole boys, the KKK.

Way to go Joe. You rock! Keep telling it like it is. Americans are getting tired of the lying fool who we call president. Shame on you Obama. The country knows the truth. Too funny watching Pelosi’s botoxed face when her boy got heckled. Priceless.

Cody says
You supporters of OBAMA! accuse those of us who disagree with this black president as being racist. By your own definition you are racist yourself whether you are black or white. I think the world of black men like like Thomas Sowell, Clarence Thomas, or Alan Keyes. The difference is my type of black man loves capitalism, supports liberty and believes in our constitution. Your man OBAMA! is a neo-marxist imposter. He is fooling you like Fidel Castro fooled the people in Cuba when he first come to power. Again Chavez in Venezuela is another example. Who is going to hold our president and his cohorts accountable for trying to undermine our country’s constitutional foundation? See, race has nothing to do with it. It all comes down to whether you love liberty and have limited government or want to enslave the people with a fascist dictatorship. Be honest with yourself and wake up from your stupor. Politicians lie consistently and you should always be sceptical of anything they say. Thanks for thinking about it and listen to Michael Savage please.
Anthony says
To Cody,
You are a racist!!! Look how many times you mentioned the word black in the first few sentences. Rule of thumb idiot, anytime you refer to people by their race or color prior to their title you’re racist. Another lesson for you, you might just want to have Webster close by when writing. Skeptical is spelled incorrectly. Get over it, we have a President that is representative of ALL people not just the diminishing majority.
Joe the Patriot says
Mr. Wilson was the only Patriot in a room full of over 500 political hacks that had the ballz to call the President on his misrepresentations of the truth (lies). The Bill does provide benefits to illegal aliens simply by it’s lack of enforcement. There was an Amendment proposed to enforce the exclusion of illegal aliens, but it was voted down by the same hacks that want to see Amnesty for illegal aliens.
Joe the Patriot says
Oh, and thanks for supplying Mr. Wilson’s e-mail address so that I can congratulate him.
Rottweiler says
I guess it is ok to call all Republicans “Assholes” like Van Jones did, now that is classy. It might have been inappropriate but it was what a million citizens felt like saying especially those of us who work in the medical field and see the writing between the lines.
The President may not have mentioned that after he passes a massive amnesty where 30-40 million people who were illegal and now are legal because he waved them all in carte blanche, he failed to mention how that will impact his elusive trillion dollar figures. Face it there are only 15% of AMERICANS (MINUS THE ILLEGALS) who do not have health care. They have health care now and use it frequently, it is called the ER and all of the tax payers pay for it. There are those who choose not to insure themselves, they would prefer to drive a nice car or have other luxuries but bottom line, he is fraying the truth. It is becoming increasingly transparent. Why just ask the Republic of Pelosi? They ALL LIE!!!!!!!!! I can assure you the kind of health care they want to IMPOSE is not the kind you will want….

It’s amazing to see so many PATRIOTS are around now but where were you when your man Dick Chaney was stomping all over the Constitution. He blatantly did whatever he wanted to do to advance his own agendas and those of his companies and he wasn’t even the President! That’s why I can’t take you guys seriously. You say you’re pissed about the President lying but where is the outrage that Bush lied to get us into a WAR? Not a bill, not new policy but a WAR, where young soldiers are dying every day. Get real.

It’s amazing that people keep bringing up the pass and talking about President Bush and Vice-President Mr.Dick Chaney. Let get together an impeach this so called prez.
