I see it as just another distraction. We're smarter than that. Let focus on health care reform and ignore the idiots.
i just finished reading your reply in the shoe throwing thread, so this made me smile.
What does this Congressman care about being a class act on healthcare during a Presidential speech, he has healthcare for life?

Sad thing is there are many idiots on both sides. Hope they can get something done together. Odds are against them.

But I wonder how many people condemning his actions today consider the Iraqi shoe thrower to be a hero.
for the least they could possibly do
this fact you speak of is not a fact at all...

so it appears the only fact here is that Joe Wilson is a Liar...

"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
How was he right? The Presidents plan WILL NOT offer care for people who are in the country illegally.

I don't remember Democrats booing Bush during his State of the Union address. If they did, it would be equally disrespectful.

"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
quite the random comparison...anyway, I don't think the shoe thrower is a hero...
Not so random...a thread right at the top.
my fault, I don't read every thread...perhaps random may have been the wrong word...perhaps silly would have been a better choice...
Random?
Both people interrupted a speech by a sitting U.S. president. One is held up as a jackass by the conventional wisdom of this board, one is held up as a martyr.
I think they're both jackasses, frankly.
for the least they could possibly do
tehnically i think the shoe thrower was at a press conference, not a speech
also, 1 did so making a false statement of 'that's a lie!' or whatever he said. the other reacted to years of violent occupation where a lot still didn't have consistent running water or electricity, random outbursts of violence, looooooooooots of deaths.
it's easy to say 'war is hell' but that's meaningless when it's your neighborhood being indiscriminately bombed and your innocent neighbors or family members being shrugged off as collateral damage. especially when there was no real reason for it all
oh, yeah, we had to be afraid of that mushroom cloud Saddam was gonna unleash :roll:
what are you but my reflection? who am i to judge or strike you down?
"I will promise you this, that if we have not gotten our troops out by the time I am president, it is the first thing I will do. I will get our troops home. We will bring an end to this war. You can take that to the bank." - Barack Obama
when you told me 'if you can't beat 'em, join 'em'
i was thinkin 'death before dishonor'
That a good point. It is, however, irrelevant.
Look, it's not a big deal. I just find the double standard to be kind of funny.
for the least they could possibly do
it was irrelevant, that's why i said technically.
i edited my post while you were replying, by the way

Sadly, classless moves are becoming more and more common in our society.
...are those who've helped us.
Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.
...
Yeah.. it could happen.
Hail, Hail!!!
I saw ... you kind of re-fought the Iraq War in that post, which is also a tad irrelevant. Either it's important to approach our differences of opinion with a sense of decorum, or it isn't.
Maybe if Joe Wilson had simply thrown a loafer ...
for the least they could possibly do
I can see the comparison... but, it all depends on how you view it, that matters... I guess.
I mean, not too many Americans think the Iraqi shoe thrower is a Hero or a martyr. The people in Iraq may feel differently, but not the Americans... or, at least, most of us.
I guess a fair comparison would be to ask the Iraqi people of how they feel about Joe Wilson, to get a more defined view.
...
But, still.. the shoe thing was funny. Mostly because Bush ducked them like he's had shoes thrown at his head before (I'm looking at you, Laura). If Bush had actually been hit... I'd probablty feel differently.
Hail, Hail!!!
The politicians. Their constituents. To the pundits behind microphones.
I didn't think it was possible for them to become even MORE insane.
I loved the "How dare you speak to the king like that" look old Nancy gave wilson.
I love the double standard with this president. The last 8 years the Liberals tore Bush apart and now someone heckles their guy and it becomes a total outrage. You would think this guy sold secrets to the Taliban or something.
Wilson probably should have kept his mouth shut, but it seems the focus should be on the real issue here. Instead, like usual, there is some sidebar that ruins the discussions.
our federal government has become as about as useful as herpes and just as painful
I'm fairly certain I heard that about the Dems a few years back. It's a vicious cycle
Sad thing here about these outbursts by both sides is that it will be followed by the citizenry of this country as we go forward when the President speaks. How can we grow into the future as a nation divided in colors of red and blue makes no sense to me?
Peace

GWB was booed by Democrats during a state of the union address one year. disrespect in the chamber is not done by one side
