If the Republicans still fight him on health care after this it will demonstrate to all just how hypocritical and duplicitous they are.
I will embed the speech when it become available. You simply must see it.

Watch for the Palin smackdown at 26:30. Damn that is satisfying!
Congressman Wilson of South Carolina is the one who yelled "you lie" at 27:10. Asshole.
Bush administration smackdown at 35:30.
The rest of the GOP smackdown at 44:10.
Update: Joe Wilson has apologized.
Beyond fabulous speech. It was fun watching the Republicans sit on their hands. And who was Eric Cantor texting throughout the speech.
ReplyDeleteThis was the Barack Obama that I voted for as my Illinois Senator in 2004. This was the Barack Obama I worked my heart out to support for President in 2008. Great.
Wow - however I'm sure the mouth-breathing droolers have chosen to watch FAKE News and "So you think you can dance".
ReplyDeleteOh well, you can lead a horse to water...
Great speech (I want to know who yelled "you're a liar"). The man is amazing - now if he could ONLY truly be the President we all elected.
Grow a pair Obama...stand up to the morons. It could very well BE your legacy.
It was a fabulous speech. The peroration, with the letter from late Sen. Ted Kennedy, was awe-inspiring. Thank you, President Obama.
ReplyDeleteThe GOP rebuttal was so bad from that rep from Louisiana. But that's the best they can do.
I loved the part where he called out Sarah Palin on her lies!! "It's not just coming from radio and TV hosts, it is coming from politicians...and it is a lie!"
ReplyDeleteI cheered out loud at that!
I like the GOP's choice of Dr.Boustany to offer their point of view. Keith Olbermann is so fast on the google- Dr. Boustany was sued successfully in 3 malpractice suits. One guy got $1.2 million from complications in a bypass operation. You can read the whole article in Politico.
ReplyDeleteIt was a great speech Gryphen, ey? One thing the haters just don't realize about Obama and that through all his experiences he is a very compassionate individual. Health Care IS truly a moral issue not one of party, politics, religion, race, creed, sex or status. It's a human issue.
ReplyDeleteI have to say looking out at the members of Congress I couldn't help but notice that a large majority of those making the decisions for us are over 60 years old and many have been there far too long.
Are these 'seniors' the best to represent America? This new America of technology and challenges not ever faced by these same senior members? I have to say no, it's not regardless of party. Time to get some new, fresh ideas in D.C.
Liar shouter was Joe Wilson, SC
ReplyDeleteThe man who shouted Lie was Congressman Joe Wilson of SC..according to the AP
ReplyDeleteAnd what was with the booing and the guy yelling "you're a liar"? This is not the
ReplyDeleteUK -- with apologies to our British friends, but that kind of open expression of negativity has never been our tradition. Another example of the egregious actions of the Republicans faced with a black President. They will go down in shame.
Pat in Texas
seems that the asshat yelling out was Congressman Joe Wilson from SC
ReplyDeleteLoved the way President Obama called Palin a LIAR, and didn't even have to mention her name. Wonder how long before her ghostwriter respond to that? LOL
basheert, the person(and I use that term loosely) was Rep. Joe Wilson (R, S.C.) according to the AP. It looked like Chairwoman Pelosi was appalled. Wonder what the penalty for that disrespect will be?
ReplyDeleteTime to leave the stupid, ignorant, lying political buffoons behind and let the smart people get things done.
ReplyDeleteFinally.
The person that yelled "liar" was a republican from S.C.
ReplyDeleteExcept for the totally disrespectful Rep. Joe Wilson, from South Carolina who yelled "you lie!" --
ReplyDeleteBy the way, Rob Miller is running against him in 2010. Perhaps we should all donate to his opponent for 2010 www.robmillerforcongress.com
Perhaps when he loses his seat, he will learn his manners, and agree to disagree in a respectful fashion.
Both websites are down due to flooding of internet hits.
Wonderful speech!
HOME RUN!!!
ReplyDeletePresident Obama hit it out of the park.
How 'bout that clown Joe Wilson, Republican Rep. from 2nd District of South Carolina, yelling "You Lie!" at Obama during speech? What a douchebag.
I was hoping that the president would speak up for the public option. Instead, by saying that it will be available only for people without insurance (as opposed to, say, people whose private insurance would be more expensive or would provide less coverage than a public option) he weakened the public option even beyond the way it's been weakened in other health care bills.
ReplyDeleteJoe Wilson of SC yelled "YOU LIE!"

ReplyDeleteJoe Wilson is a rude Repuke Pig. Being rude and disrespectful to the office of the President has "consequences".
It is possible to disagree without being a low class rude arrogant prick and I can double-damn guarantee you that his mother is either embarrassed beyond belief or rolling in her grave.
Rude ... Disrespectful.
No one objects to a disagreement. Was it necessary to yell out your disrespect on the floor of congress.
Sending money to Rob Miller.
Screw Palin (everyone else has)....
I still believe.....
ReplyDeleteIt was a great speech. Joe Wilson fro Sourh Carolina is an embarrassment to our country. You can easily find his website. Send him a note and tell him how inappropriate he was calling the president a liar. What a jerk!! Even if he thinks he is a liar or disagree that is not the way you talk to the president of our country. How disrespectful! The majority of Republicans look like a bunch of white pasty good ole boys!! Blchhh!! Are they KKK members too?
ReplyDeleteI am glad he called out Sarah for the liar she is and her article did nothing! People just say there's Sarahs ghostwriter again. And wow Sarah really is obsessed in an icky way with President Obama! Even her ghostwriter comes across as a teenager who didn't win class president last year but sure you betcha will try to win next time!! And Replacing Medicare with vouchers???? That is scary scary and very scary! Don't those dumb hee haws get that how that will effect grandma? Talk about death panels! Hypocrites!!
At least McCain called Joe Wilson on this. He said it was disrespectful and an apology is needed.
ReplyDeleteDouche bag Joe Wilson just sent an apology to Mr. Obama. It was on CNN. I guess the nation won't be so happy with their hero. They were all bragging about what a great guy he was for yelling at the President. Although it is as phony as hell I love it!
ReplyDeletePlease take the time to weigh in on KTUU’s evening online poll:
ReplyDeleteDo you think Sarah Palin’s use of the term “death panels” is a lie as President Barack Obama implied tonight?
Right now it’s more than 3:1 in her favor (sigh). Polling ends at 10:00p.
http://www.ktuu.com
I just wrote to Rep. Wilson chastising him and I will be donating to his Democratic opponent, per Daily Kos. Wilson just wrote his own political obit.
ReplyDeleteLook I hate McCain. He is "my" Senator but he stood up for dignity and respect with regard to this incident.
ReplyDeleteI have contributed $100 to Rob Miller and may Joe Wilson"rest in peace" in a shallow grave behind the barn.
How embarrassing to have a Representative who is an f'ing moron and a rude SOB as well.
Trusting that he WILL pay for his big Repuke mouth.
I'm Canadian and your President gave a great speech tonight.
ReplyDeleteJoe Wilson proves that Van Jones was right about Republicans.
Force all your house/senate members to get on board.
A great and inspiring speech, agreed.
ReplyDeleteI sent an e-mail to the illustrious Rep. Joe Wilson. I did not use any foul language (though I wanted to) but I told him he was an embarrassment to this country and a racist and congratulated him on being the first person ever to shout at a president addressing congress. Other choice words were included as well as a pledge to contribute to his opponent in the 2010 elections. What an a**hole!!!
Just gave $25 to Rob Miller, Wilson's Democratic opponent in the next election...
ReplyDeleteUpdate
ReplyDeleteif you go to rep joe wilsons titter page congjoewilson it is obvious he planned a disruption, this was not a spur of the moment outburst it was PLANNED> Please join me and others who are contacting speaker Pelosi and asking her as speaker to censure him. Thanks:)
Wow - even before he left the room I was on the whitehouse.gov site sending him an email thanking him, and letting him know I believe he is a true blessing for this country. Wow - our neighbors probably know where I stand about his speech because I was cheering so loudly - hooting and hollering and doing a happy dance.
ReplyDeleteOh, by the way - for those of you who didn't see the Rachel Maddow Show tonight, try to check out what she said about Senator David Vitter. He sent out a fundraising letter full of lies, the same lies that Palin has been spouting and then some. If you are so inclined, I urge you to go to his website and let him know that he will now be known as The Big Sleazy -- Maddow's nickname for him. I still remember how he humiliated his wife by having her stand by his side while he "apologized" for being caught in the DC Madame scandal. Yep, The Big Sleazy is now trying to lie about President Obama's health care reform package.
Wanna make a difference?
ReplyDeleteGo to YouTube, and look at a Channel called 0bamasecrets (thats a zero at the beginning, not an O).
Then go to the link:
www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/request.py?contact_type=abuse
And report this idiot and get his channel taken down
Then call for that pansy Joe Wilson to RESIGN
Fine presentation by Obama. Isn't it wonderful to have a president who is literate and articulate. Obamamakes Bush look like a pathetic joke. Sad. Wilson from SC has alot of nerve calling this president a liar after the lies Bush/Cheney rammed down the country's collective throat without remorse. Loved the way Obama called out Palin, loved that it drew alot of cheers as well. The rupugs looked like spoiled children.
ReplyDeleteFinally, what is UP with Pelosi and her incessant chewing motions?? Hopefully she has a neurological disorder and not a meth addiction - sure looks like it. I noticed it last presidential address, and it is still noticeable. Anyone know what is up with her???
combining the two best suggestions - how about donating to Rob Miller, and then sending an email to Rep. Wilson, telling him about the donation and why you did it. Repeat every month until the election.
ReplyDeleteWilson's apology was clearly coerced, and didn't include the key fact that he was WRONG WRONG WRONG.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to donate, even a little, to his 2010 opponent. This man shames me as an American. Pat in Texas
The bell can't be unrung. Represenative Joe Wilson can apologize until the cows come home and it won't matter. To accuse President Obama of lying during a speech, and one that is being televised to millions of people, was base, vulgar, opportunistic, and disrespectful not only to President Obama personally, but to the office of the Presidency, specifically. I'm so angry I'm going to donate to Rob Miller again.
ReplyDeleteYeah, some apology from Rep. Wilson, he makes it sound in the apology like Illegal immigrants are covered in the bill. He's not sorry, he knows his apology will go out and the Rethugs can't really read or do research to know what Obama said. Some apology -- not.
ReplyDeleteYes, I donated to his opponent tonight. Go Rob Miller!
oooh GenieO, I like the way you think!
ReplyDeleteI tried to go to Wilson's home site and it is down for maintenance. Ha! I bet. so I wrote a letter to his office in DC. WILSON NEEDS TO RESIGN - NOW!
ReplyDeleteI am going to write to my local congressman also. A repub, but I want him to know how I feel and that I have never voted for him. So if he wants my respect EVEN, he should vote for health care.
Go to www.actblue.com to donate to Miller's opponent.
An apology isn't good enough from Wilson. He should be fined or whatever they do. And Palin? She is obsessed with President Obama and continues to lie on her facebook page or her ghostwriter does. She is lying about what Medicare vouchers are. As someone with Medicare, I know. We already have a choice of various plans and the government plan is much better than the private choice. I don't need a piece of paper and please do not take away my government plan. Disabled people have Medicare and we are left out. Sarah doesn't have a clue. She clearly does not understand the programs so her ghost writer is uninformed therefore also too. She is a sick greedy liar.
ReplyDeleteShe is INSANE and thinks she's part of the discussion. It's odd and delusional. See Mudflats take on it.
Daily Kos has link to donate to Rob Miller

Will be fun to bookmark and watch the thermometer.
My daughter was watching the speech with me and asked if it was OK for someone to yell that the President is a liar during his address to Congress. I assured her it was not OK and told her I did not believe it had happened before. Since when did conservatives and religious people become so crude and vulgar? Seriously, when did churches start working so hard to foment anger? I was shocked. How about the "family values" assemblyman from Orange County who resigned in CA today because he was caught on tape talking about sex and spanking with two married lobbyists. Are there so few decent people in politics anymore? This is scary. The President, on the other hand, was classy, measured and brilliant. Thank God!
ReplyDeleteThere should be an I.Q. test administered before someone can run for office in South Carolina. Is no one there who is smart?
ReplyDeleteThis was a wonderful, wonderful speech. I love our President. I'm not sure that I do believe that we can "replace acrimony with civility", but I want to believe it. Yeah Obama!
ReplyDeleteI just read on another blog that Wilson has four sons who are Eagle Scouts. If true, they must be so proud and honored to have him as a father.
ReplyDeleteSouth Carolina is having a bad month.
ReplyDeleteMore pressure for Sanford to resign.
Rep. Wilson announcing to the world he is an ass.
And now this:

If he can't take his job seriously, then maybe this will help him out.
SouthernMiss......I'm a Southern Miss...also...like the way you think...I, also, think that Presedent Obama is wonderful....bytheway...did you, also, go to University of Southern Mississippi??? Just wondering......
ReplyDeleteJoe Wilson (the schmuck) didn't have much choice. He was condemned by fellow Republican John McCain. And his e-mail was besieged by people expressing outrage at his rude and disrespectful behavior. You couldn't get into this website because of the high traffic.
ReplyDeleteI hope his opponent wipes the floor with him at the next election.
wilson and his outburst will be a litmus-test for what america thinks and how scary our "culture wars" will get, google news is already bringing up 14,500+ articles about this!
ReplyDeletei'm only 29, and i feel the US "historic" times of my life are columbine, 9.11, W & gitmo & "gulf wars part II", and everything obama, chronologically.
my parents (and gryph) got the first man on the moon and woodstock (but had the kennedy assignations, vietnam, and reagan/cold war politics), i feel like all of the "historic times" of my life are tragedies...except obama. and i'm from IL and voted for him as senator too. i think this way of thinking leads to expecting his presidency to be idealistic and superhuman, which i know can't happen, but i just want to be able to someday say "i remember when..." and not be talking about a tragedy.
i hope with all my heart that the far right, as they show off more of their potentially violent unhingedness, do not try to physically hurt our president or his family, or anyone else, i'm terribly sick of tragedies.
Inspiring speech by President Obama. I think it had just the right amount of force to it.
ReplyDeleterep. joe wilson, s.c. (no caps does not deserve it), what a rude and disrespectful fellow. Sent an email to him - web site down from right after the Presidents speech. Just checked with ActBlue and just under 1000 people and $36,000 for his opponent! Yea
Rob Miller is at $69,739 at Act Blue. Can we make it $100,000?
ReplyDeleteGo to www.ActBlue.com to donate.
Gryphen, I agree--a great speech tonight. Obama is back, in a big way. I can't help recalling, though, earlier today, your (our) anxiety over Palin's signature on the Afghanistan support letter. Your words were, "Uh, oh, this can't be good."
ReplyDeleteBut look how a few hours can completely change the mood. The Wilson "You're a liar!" outburst brought everything into perspective: The Republicans are nothing but a pack of fools and clowns. Palin. Wilson. "Lord" Boutsany. The Cal. state senator. And that's just the list for today!
Andrew Sullivan has a perfect label for Obama's strategy with Republicans/opponents--"Rope-a-Dope"--which is relevant to your efforts to gather information on Palin. The dope, i.e., Palin, is on the ropes. Just be patient, spring the facts at the right time, and she won't be able to stagger back.
Joe Wilson is a Colonel in the Army Reserves.
ReplyDeleteHe can be court-martialed under Article88 for showing contempt to the Commander-in-Chief.
I'd post a link but I can't paste into this post for some reason Gryph....
Once again, the President gave a great speech. Now I'd be happy to see him lead; that's the part that always leaves me anxious about him.

What year did you graduate from USM? Did you ever eat at Leatha's BBQ? It's the best BBQ in Mississippi.
Go Golden Eagle!
I love this blog !!! The Prez was over the top GREAT !!! Feeling the love, maybe even I will have health coverage....wow
ReplyDeleteA comment on Huffpost included this:
ReplyDelete''Rep Joe Wilson is a Col in the US Army reserves.
Please contact his Commanding Officer and remind him of his duty to maintain discipline in the ranks.
Article 88: Contempt Toward Officials: Any commissioned officer who uses contemptuous words against the President, the Vice President, Congress, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of a military department, the Secretary of Transportation, or the Governor or legislature of any State, Territory, Commonwealth, or possession in which he is on duty or present shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.''
Republicans should be ashamed but, they won't be...they'll go on lying and obstructing. And, Alaska's ex-governor will be allowed to get away with criminal mendacity and idiocy.
ReplyDeleteIt seems "Joe the Dumber" committed a court marshal offense against his Commander in Chief when he called President Obama a liar during the speech last night.

So proud of our President, as well as the intrepid folk of the Intertubes! By 10 pm Eastern time, Joe Wilson had been identified as the shouter, and an ActBlue page was accepting donations for his opponent. Since I've donated, I'll take GenieO's wise advice and write The Other Joe Wilson (the one NOT married to Valerie Plame)--on nice stationery, sent via that socialist hobgoblin, the U.S. Postal Service--explaining why I did so.
ReplyDeleteThese days, an actual LETTER sent in the MAIL with STAMPS (I use the patriotic, flag-wavin' kind for such correspondence), gets attention.
I don't know if they will censure or fine joe wilson for his rude outburst, but if that is a consideration, how about this instead: Take away his government-sponsored health care plan!
ReplyDeleteLet him experience first-hand what his constituents live with.
A fitting punishment.
I am outraged at that AssHats behavior!
ReplyDeleteI have emailed the House Majority leader and told him in no uncertain terms, this will not be tolerated and I'm sick of these congressmen/women disrespecting President Obama, Michelle Bachmann included. Here is the email address:

I will be dashing off some emails too and donating again when I can.
Listening to President Obama last night I had tears in my eyes and clapped a lot - tentatively my belief in "yes we can" has been renewed.
Does anyone know, does Nancy Pelosi have a neurological disorder or something? I always notice her chewing motion with her mouth as she sits behind the pres during speeches. Makes one think she is using crystalmeth. Very strange and annoying habit she has with her teeth and mouth.
ReplyDeleteGreat historic speech. So wonderful to have a literate and articulate president. Wilson from SC picked the wrong pres and wrong time to call the president a liar. That should have been done with the last administration - and frankly I would have supported anyone who called Bush or/Cheney a liar publicly. I hope Wilson's career is OVER. Wonder if he was drunk??
GREAT SPEECH.
ReplyDeleteDid you read Palin's Face Book rebuttal? How pathetic that she is on face book.
What has she done for Alaskan's lately? Didn't she promise to fight for them outside of office?
She has not done a damn thing except react to others.
What is it with South Carolina? Their Gov. is a brazen liar whom everybody wants gone, but he has a message from god to stay on the job and now J Wilson big mouth extraordinaire?
Maybe they could/should secede with Texas.
I left a poll on the DailyKos:
ReplyDeleteIs the Palin Murdoch Relationship Symbiosis- or Host Parasite ?
Symbiosis- both feed off of each other's greed and avarice.
Host-Parasite- By the time He's done with her- shel'll be sucked dry like a fly...
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2009/9/10/779774/-Sarah-Palin-s-Lair
Anyone reading The Trilogy by JRR Tolkien will remember Shelob's Lair.
Basically- a large spider, lying in wait, and bending victims to her will.
From Wikepideia...
"Shelob's lair was along the path that Sam Gamgee and Frodo Baggins took while travelling to Mount Doom. Her spider-silk, which was spun in both rope and cobweb form, was strong and cleverly made, trapping those who walked into it. Shelob had encountered Gollum during his previous trip to Mordor, and he apparently worshipped her after his fashion. The Orcs of the Tower of Cirith Ungol called her "Shelob the Great" and "Her Ladyship," and knew of Gollum's relationship with her (they referred to him as "Her Sneak"). Sauron himself was aware of her existence, but left her alone, as she was a useful guard on the pass. He occasionally sent her prisoners for which he had no further use."
Now that sounds like a Murdoch-Palin symbiosis... or is it host-parasite?
And yet another response from SP to last nights Obama speech...
"Finally, President Obama delivered an offhand applause line tonight about the cost of the War on Terror. As we approach the anniversary of the September 11th attacks and honor those who died that day and those who have died since in the War on Terror, in order to secure our freedoms, we need to remember their sacrifices and not demonize them as having had too high a price tag."
I just want to say- WTF???
How does he "demonize" our troops? She is a POS and I look forward to when the worm turns for her- and she is finally confronted by someone- face to face.
http://teutonic13.wordpress.com/
Honestly, I wish these morons would just leave the country. Calling the president a liar is bad enough but when it is being televised? Un-stinkin'believable!
ReplyDeleteYou guys stop giving Palin any credit and discussing her Facebook rants, please? I promise, if you keep the lights out and don't go in the garage, you never have to be disgusted by the cockroach that lives in there.
ReplyDeleteYes, what is it with S.Carolina? Now the head of the State Board of Education, Kristin Maquire, has resigned. She is a conservative, naturally, who home-schools her own children, evangelical-type appointed by Sanford. It seems that in her "other life" she writes a lot of porno on the web! Why are some self-confessed super-christians the worst among us?
ReplyDeleteSarah Palin is an embarassment to the Republican party, as well as the doofus who yelled "you lie" last night. However, it doesn't mean ALL republicans are bad. Please don't judge the whole party, based upon a few bad apples.
ReplyDelete@6:19, if you are a Republican, it is up to you to take your GOP party back from these extremists who now run it. I do judge your party by Palin and Wilson. This is who the GOP is putting forth as your "leaders," although technically Palin is no longer a politician. I mean, Palin quit so she's not serving the "polis" anymore.
ReplyDeleteAwesome speech. Especially the end of it. It was very moving bringing up Ted Kennedy like that, and I liked the way Pres Obama was trying to stroke the egos of all the politicians in the room.
ReplyDeleteI was shocked that someone yelled LIAR during the speech. But the look Obama & Pelosi gave him was beyond awesome. I had read one account over on Huffington Post that Michelle Obama, who was sitting in front of Wilson had mouthed a long 'Daaammmmnnn" after he said it.
Even though Wilson gave a non-apology apology, he will go down in history as the guy who yelled LIAR to the President of the United States on TV, and whenever this speech is watched over and over it will always be there. Karma is a b*tch, huh?
Desparate for attention in toddler mode, Joe Wilson displayed his low intelligence and lower self-esteem. His DELIBERATE and pre-planned "outburst" was a poorly executed piece of stagecraft. It exploited the basic tenet of a civil society, "people are reasonable".
ReplyDeleteI look for to future appearances by Wilson in House Chambers escorted by two ballifs equipped with tasers.
anon@6:34: Totally agree. We have no choice but the judge the Repukes by the individuals they put forth as their "leaders" and "representatives".
ReplyDeleteYou can't have it both ways. Either you agree with these filth bags, or you put up a human being with values as someone who speaks for you.
As I see it - The dirtbags ARE the Republican Leaders.
