    Yes he was wrong to shout at the President like that . The President is always welcome to address the Congress and is always afforded the respect the office of President deserves weather one agrees with the policies or not. *

    There have already been a number of people on hear with links supporting the fact that the government will not fund healthcare for immigrants. So, yes, he was completely wrong and way out of line.

    Yes Joe was wrong for his actions and should of listened more careful then hollowing out. illegal immigrants under Obama will be able to buy insurance that will help them get coverage also. They are not going to get it free.

    NO. In fact it will not. It's written into the bill. Wilson is the liar. Not to mention that his little tantrum was rude and harmful.

  • Hey it's his right as an American to speak his mind. However I think that like Glen Becky he is learning that with rights come responsibility's. Like ALL of the money raised for his Dem' opponent. Laugh.Out.Loud.

    While I believe the venue was absolutely not one to shout out "lie" but I admire his honesty and truth. He is actually representing the people he met with at town halls according to him which also seems honorable with so many not listening and following their own agendas, or flat refusing to meet with their constituents.

    What is pathetic is all these clowns on here calling him a racist.

    People call Bush a liar all the time and I do not see any racist cries.

    I call them all liars but am not a racist.

    Let us not forget who cast the first "liars" stone also. Seems Obama was calling quite a few people liars and no uproar. So I am guessing he is a racist too people?

    He was wrong for disrespecting the office of the President of the United States.

    His contention however, remains to be seen.

    I'm no fool, someone is going to have to pay for the health care of illegal aliens. If not the govt. (eg: taxapayers), whom then?

    Yes, he was. He was also unprofessional, childish, over-emotional, irrational, disrespectful, arrogant, and showed complete disregard for over two centuries of tradition and the democratic process.

    What Joe Wilson did was treasonous, if you want to really examine it.

    The individual does NOT come above or over the democratic process.
