Tim, I called Wilson’s remark “rude” (which it was) and did not condone it (so I didn’t “leave out the fact”). I did not know that Joe Wilson and Strom Thurmond were homo or bisexuals! Even if they were I fail to see how that would have anything to do with this issue. And you do rather conveniently omit the issue of whether Obama is a racist because of his Rev. Wright relationship (or Van Jones for that matter).

And as far as Joe Wilson being a “liar” himself I’m afraid you’re also wrong about this:

The question, as we all know, arises from the Wilson “You lie” outburst, and the core claim that notwithstanding specific bill language barring illegal immigrants from participating in the “exchange,” as a practical matter, there is no way of verifying the citizenship of applicants — which is the current state of play. Republicans say that then means illegal immigrants would end up being enrolled in plans — bill language or no bill language.

Today, for the first time as far as we know, the administration is backing a provision that would require proof of citizenship before someone could enroll in a plan selected on the exchange.

Here, the administration also concedes that hospitals would be compensated with public funds for the care of undocumented immigrants.

So Obama DID lie (as I said in my article) and Wilson, while rude, was correct (again, as I said).

Thank you for your comments.

P.S. to my P.S. that should have read: “…by complaining that you are called a racist does not make your racism false.”

P.P.S. Is Hans openly wishing for harm to come to the President of the USA?

of course you leave out the fact tht Wilson, like a petulant little child, yelled “you lie” at a time that was completely inappropriate and incredibly unsuitable for a so called ‘statesman’.

You also failed to mention Wilson’s love affair with the uber racist and philanderer Strom Thurmand.

Wilson also said “you lie” to Essie Mae Washington-Williams when she announced the dead Thurmond was her father. Wilson was wrong then and he is wrong now.

Section 246 Proves Joe Wilson is a liar in addition to being a rude jackass. You on the right though are famously immune from those pesky little things called “FACTS”

P.S. Can you all come up with another catch phrase? “The race card” is so very lame and by complaining that you are a racist does not make your racism false.
