The WTF Moment Of the Night

And he gave a great smackdown to Sarah Palin as well.

WVR: No kidding. As they say, the bitch got SERVED.

That was one of the parts of the speech I liked.

Would the three of you like a room, or at least some condoms?

Looks like WVR kept the vaseline and Kleenex on hand for this one…

Rann, are you asking if the three of us would like a room with Sarah Palin?

I say good work Joe Wilson.  At least one guy has the guts to stand up to these assholes.

No, I wouldn’t want to see the three of you slaughtered with a penknife.

I mean, not unless someone had time to get a film crew together first.

I think Wilson calling Obama a liar was one of the two honest moments in that entire speech. The other was when Obama said he was hell bent to be the one to do the healthcare reform. The rest was half-truths, lies, and damned lies. Including his supposed smackdown of Palin.

The fact is that this government take over will force the need to cut cost somewhere, and the best place to make savings is where you spent the most money: end-of-life care. Basically a bureaucrat will get to make life and death decisions for people. Calling it a “death panel” might be harsh, but that’s in the end what will happen to those that get denied. Obama calling this a lie was itself a blatant lie. If you can’t see that, then you have issues.

The one good thing is that the radicals will keep pushing for the government takeover of healthcare, and that will end democratic control of congress.

Ah, how quickly the Democrats forget that they heckled Bush in his 2004 State of the Union.  Hypocrisy is thy name, lefties.

True, but there’s been heckling and booing going on from both sides at least since Clinton.

# “Clinton’s proposal to expand Medicare to allow Americans as young as 55 to buy into the system drew shouts of “no” and some boos from Republicans during his speech.” [Chicago Tribune, 1/28/98]

# “Only once did they unmistakably and collectively show their disapproval—when Clinton spoke disparagingly of a GOP-sponsored constitutional amendment to balance the budget. Many Republicans hissed and some booed.” [Los Angeles Times, 2/5/97]

# “The upheaval wrought by the Republican election landslide was visible throughout the president’s State of the Union address—from the moment Speaker Newt Gingrich took the gavel to the striking silence that often greeted Clinton from the GOP. At one point, Republicans even booed. “ [Associated Press, 1/24/95]

The difference here was it was not a an anonymous Greek chorus of harumphs or boos but a clearly discernible single voice.

I’ll bet Wilson felt like the kid who pulled the fire alarm because his friends talked him into it - then when turning to get his accolades saw everyone had run away.

Hm, you know what else started under Clinton?

Distant, fenced-off “authorized protest areas”. What’s up with that...?

Good point, Rann.  I hate the free speech zones, absolutely hate them.

That made me laugh.  Very accurate.

Way before then sally.
I recall that presidents were heckled quiet a bit in the 1800’s....
It is a old game,
I agree with wilson, but he wa a idiot for doing it at that time.

I wouldn’t have advised Joe Wilson to do this, but then again, I don’t believe Obama had any business calling a joint session of Congress to give a partisan stump speech. The whole thing was pointless. In a way, I think Wilson shouting out was worth it if only to see the look that came over Nancy Pelosi’s face. Good God!

Look, it’s just a guy up there, not the fricken second coming (as his campaign would have you believe) We don’t need to worship this piece of shit.  In common law parlimentary governments they do this all the time.  THey throw shit, yell stuff and generally get roudy.  I would have liked to see a sea of middle fingers floating the entire speech from the Republican side.

Compared to this, what Wilson did was downright subdued.

No one knows how to throw down during a legislative session like the South Koreans.
