Joe WIlson PLANNED This, Don't Think He Didn't!
He knew he would do this. He knew he would apologize almost immediately and that by tomorrow he would be a hero to the Right Wing. This was all planned. Do not try and convince he wasn't.This guy needs to be punished or this will happen agian and again. Obama needs to send a message and show them they can not pull this crap and get away with it!

3. I don't give a rats. I still want his hide delivered to my door. Fuck him.
HE can be the hero of racist losers all he wants.

He'll have to do it without his ass because I want it.

4. Politics is a dirty game and there will be no punishment unless
the voters of S.C. do it.

5. Eight years of Bush and I can't remember anything like it.
They said for eight years "respect the office". I guess the rest of that statement is "when there's a Republican in it".

15. Yes!
For eight years the Dems bobbled their heads. If one had cried out "You Liar" * would have gone into a psychotic event. This issue really needs to be cleared up. The volatile 'town meetings' have set the stage here. This ass (Wilson) is just one of the ignorant peanut gallery! Pelosi need to unload both barrels here.

7. For all we know, his disrespectful attitude is entirely representative of his District's.
Don't discount that possibility.

As my wife once asked, Why Are So Many Congressman Such A-Holes?

Because they are closer to the People, my dear.

34. Thank you. It's really the people in his district who have even a
slight chance of punishing this guy. I do plan on contributing to that other guy - I am your neighbor in NC.

8. Or had it planned for him, more likely.
He's not smart enough - or brave enough - to think of it on his own.

9. He didn't plan on his Dem challenger raising money from his total fail. Close to $25k since the
outburst. I think this guy needs to be dealt with fast and hard. Apparently Rahm was seeking him out immediately after the speech and telling media that something of that nature had never occured, ever. The dogs are on the hunt.

10. I think he planned the outburst but did not anticipate the criticism from Republicans.
I don't think he figured on having to apologize.

11. do you think that calling him a liar will do anything?
Obama took the wingers to the woodshed and they know it. They are in for a tough and very long eight years and it is starting to sink in tonight for them.

13. Inquiring minds want to know if Joe Wilson is employing illegals.
Oh Gawd, wouldn't an investigative story about him employing illegals fit about now?

14. They planned to make a teabaggery of congress
came with their little white hoods... er I mean signs
and shouted out disruptions at every opportunity.

Fortunately Obama is more the master and made points they couldn't refuse to stand and applaud for.
He really kicked republican ass tonight.

this kind of thing probably impresses his Southern constituents.

26. George Allen probably thought that too.
Although Wilson probably has better reason to feel that way.

23. Of course he did. He had a copy of the speech beforehand.
He didn't get caught up in the heat of the moment.

25. The fact that Obama's speech had been made public already
and Wilson had more than likely read it beforehand..........yeah, he planned it. So it takes away from his defense of letting his emotions get away from him. It's like the difference between pre-meditated murder and crimes of passion.

28. The link on his facebook page to his rebuttal of Obama's speech was posted before the speech took
place. So must have read it before and planned this.

38. The Brits are just upset because Blair played Bush's 'poodle'
and made them all look like idiots. So, now they like to pounce on every dumb ass thing our government reps do. And, sure, this is a big one -- but, it's a big one committed by the MINORITY who most in this country have realized are lying, greedy, manipulative, fraudulent, hypocritical, ass hats.

I think he needs to stand in front of millions of people and apologize publicly.

37. I think his own party is gonna punish him
His outburst was way too nutjob/teabagger for anyone hoping for a real future in politics (even in the GOP).

But, we can show our disgust, by supporting his opponent Rob Miller - not just for this, but because Rob is a great candidate. And, I'm not even from SC or the South. But, after hearing Wilson, I did some research/reading and contributed to Rob's campaign.

40. He provided a classic distraction technique
so that the news will spend more time covering the distraction instead of President Obama's speech.
