He didn't have the balls, he backed the fuck down and bitched the fuck out by apologizing.
And what makes you think people don't stand up to him on a daily basis? Because you'd be afraid to man up and say what you've got to say to him? I support him, but he's just the president, not fucking God. Don't project your social inadequacies on others, son. 9/10/2009 9:10:06 AM |

^ That excuses bad behavior? A member of Congress ought to have a bit of dignity when addressing the president. God knows, Republicans sure demanded it of everyone else after 9/11. You can think the president is 100% wrong, but this sort of behavior from him is self-defeating. 9/10/2009 9:21:30 AM |

He's representing the people of South Carolina, who love the fact that he shouted out during the speech. I'm just saying, as a politician, he's representing their voices. I'm not saying it wasn't wrong, it was clearly wrong. I think the bigger issue is why the people feel that way in SC, and has less to do with Joe Wilson apologizing. He's just one man, that represents a formidable southern state. 9/10/2009 9:36:10 AM |

The republican Congressman from South Carolina Wilson managed to fund his opponents entire campaign by shouting out to call the president a lair in the middle of his address to a joint session of congress last night.

yeah, he sure did read a lot of pretty words for 44 minutes. i think thats what what we need to take away from this. That and the fact that people in south carolina with their black people and poverty probably can't understand words outside of a klan meeting. plus they're from the south and im with froshkiller and miss teen california on this one: we believe in slavery and made in china
end of story

It's slightly ironic that everyone claims South Carolinian's are stupid, when they appear to be the only ones not swallowing Obama's verbal load. Wouldn't it be the other way around if they were truly stupid? Who are the real stupid ones?

^^I went to a tea party in downtown Raleigh. It wasn't absurd. It wasn't filled with crazy folks. There was no hate speech, there were blacks and Hispanics there as well. Just lots of people who think that big government is not the answer.
