The politicians. Their constituents. To the pundits behind microphones.
I didn't think it was possible for them to become even MORE insane.
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?

Can you imagine what the outrage would've been had a black Congressman had uttered the same words during a major speach by George W Bush :?:

Congress should just revert to those Korean Style Parliment sessions... you know, the ones where the fists fly and chairs get tossed... because seriously, how fucked up is our Congress anyway? What's their approval rating... 21%? They him and haw about decorum and shit... fuck you, assholes. You ALL suck.
...
And imagine Kucinich and Lieberman in a headlock and flayling their tiny fists o' fury railing at each other's faces... or Orrin Hatch curled up in a ball while Barney Frank beats him silly with his purse. If the fucking assholes are going to do nothing but continue this childish partisan bullshit of blowhard hot air that results in diddly-squat... then, at least give us the entertainment factor of watching them beat the crap out of each other.

Great point. This whole story would be told completely differently.
its not a great point at all. it would have made zero fucking difference. why are you people playing the race card all of a sudden. what a joke.
That's exactly the point on this occasion it gives the down graded appearance that it's ok to speak down and outright call out the President who happens to be a person of color. Even after an apology what I believe will follow will be the encouragement of citizens doing the same thing if not worse in front of a national audience. Do you think congressman Wilson would've done the same thing in the same scenario if it was former president GWB, I honestly DON'T think so?
Even when we had a President like GWB who we now know lied about WMD and other lies the most that was uttered to him were boos during a major speech. Which is also improper. This may not have made no
*curse word* difference to you however the impact is far reaching than a fucking joke.

GWB was booed by Democrats during a state of the union address one year. disrespect in the chamber is not done by one side
yes i agree that was disrespectful. but you have to admit, gwb pretty much earned those boos as the worst president in the last century. obama has done nothing to warrant such disrespect at this point in his presidency.
it appears that wilson is not long for the house. the senator from SC said he should go before the house and apologize to obama, the house and senate, and the people of south carolina.

Good Christ. You're on the right side of this argument. Joe Wilson acted like a jackass. Dragging race into it really cheapens your argument.
I'm getting really sick of this prevalent idea that if you disagree with or critcize Obama, it's because you are a racist. It can't be that you simply passionately disagree with him on a hot-button issue. No, that's not possible at all. :roll:
If this is true, then any black person who critcized George W. Bush must also be a racist.

The biggest problem I have is that everyones focusing on how Wilson called out Obama and they're skipping over the fact that he was right in what he yelled.
nice try, but wilson's claims have already been repudiated by factcheck....its in the article.
It's true that the bill bars illegal immigrants from receiving federal funds/grants for health insurance. However, it does not specifically require proof of citizenship when applying for said federal funding. It's kind of asinine.
The Republicans did propose two amendments to the bill that would require proof of citizenship, which were voted down. Apparently, that's what Smokin' Joe Wilson was blabbering about.
It's sort of like passing a law that requires all operators of motor vehicles to have a drivers lisence, but prohibiting a police officer from asking to see it if he pulls you over.
Makes no sense.

Fox News and the rest of the media would absolutely play the story out quite differently. No doubt. Yes, people should be more open minded and not play the race card, but it's a plain fact, that the media would portray this picture completely different, if it was Bush on the podium and not Obama.
And from a social standpoint, Wilson is only doing what those few newsclips of the town hall meetings suggest: people lashing out towards the gov't. It's going to become more and more acceptable as it's been in the media already numerous times. Monkey see, monkey do.

"Fox News" and "the rest of the media" are two different entities. Fox News is a right-wing pom-pom waver. The rest of the media worships at the altar of Obama.
If in 2007, say, Harry Reid had pulled a Joe Wilson during a George W. speech, Fox News would have been appalled. The rest of the media would have hailed Harry Reid as a hero. Basically the opposite of what is happening now.

I will calmly try to answer you. I originally posted this hypothetical question to my quote speaking about both sides behaving improper in front of a national audience. I based this question on the uproar in the media that has come about what congressman Wilson said last night. I was only throwing the situation out there as to how huge the uproar would be IF the congressman and President were reversed, that's all.
I don't have an agenda of race for or against Obama, I didn't vote for Obama, i don't dislike him, however I'm one the first on MT to call out Obama for some of his policies so far that I've disagreed with. I like to disagree and criticize him because I want to see him improve no more than I did with GWB.
Then I only answered jlew based on the comment he made. From time to time as we go forward as a nation being that Obama is black phases of race will come up whether we want to speak about them or not in the future. No intention was made to offend you or anyone else, we can ask hypothetical questions right? .

I honestly don't know what point you are trying to make.
If, in 2007, then-Senator Obama had barked at George W. Bush from the floor of the Senate, the Republicans would have been outraged and the Democrats would have given him oral pleasure. Pretty much the opposite of what's happening now.
Again, I'm not sure what in the hell race has to do with anything.

oh and he was wrong. RePubes just want National Identity cards. Which can be faked.
maybe Social Security numbers would work, but i guess they can be gotten down at the local Home Depot.

dude you know obama is much more professional and has much more class and he would never do such a thing. i think that is his problem. he is trying too much bipartisanship and is trying to be above all the partison bickering when the gop clearly will not go along with anything at all and will not propose anything that has a chance at passing. there is no comparison between obama and that redneck dolt wilson.

i have no memory of this either. i would have called them out on it too. its about respect for the office.
'Respect for the office'? Isn't that something Bush and his criminal cohorts were lacking for eight consecutive years?
i meant that the members of congress should have respect for the office regardless of who occupies it. i should have been more clear on that because clearly guys like nixon, clinton and bush had no respect for it.

Ok I hear Fox News is sooo bad.

Why is this tuning out to be a race thing? Noone can disagree with the president since he is black?

Actually, I believe this would have been less of an issue than what happened. Put your race card away, it's not acceped here.
aaaah who cares...seriously, bushy and company used the "hate card" (i.e. "if you don't support the president you must be hate America" and "blinded by your hate for bush")
now some supporters of Obama are accused of using the "race card"...it's all a game...we're just playing with a new set of cards...

So if everything out of Obama’s mouth is a lie, then back when Bush was doing whatever he wished where were the Dems to scream lair in his presence?
The Dems can be such pussies at times.
On the other hand,
The Reps behavior grows worse. They think people buy that BS. And guess what?…I think a lot of people do.
So Reps see that it works and keep doing it!
I’ve seen Dems pull crap but it seems Reps take it to a whole new level.
Can’t people see pass the bad behavior and get the facts about Obama’s proposal and urge their Congressperson to act on their wishes?
And if the Congressperson chooses to spew crap instead, us voters can flood their office with hate mail….or anthrax.
We’re way too passive. In France or wherever, the government is scared of its people. People riot and stuff if the government isn’t working for them.

Actually, I believe this would have been less of an issue than what happened. Put your race card away, it's not acceped here.
Oh bullshit...your trying to make it something it isn't. Shame on you.
'Respect for the office'? Isn't that something Bush and his criminal cohorts were lacking for eight consecutive years?

aaaah who cares...seriously, bushy and company used the "hate card" (i.e. "if you don't support the president you must be hate America" and "blinded by your hate for bush")
now some supporters of Obama are accused of using the "race card"...it's all a game...we're just playing with a new set of cards...
Well, no shit.

The Dems can be such pussies at times.
On the other hand,
The Reps behavior grows worse. They think people buy that BS. And guess what?…I think a lot of people do.
So Reps see that it works and keep doing it!
I’ve seen Dems pull crap but it seems Reps take it to a whole new level.
Can’t people see pass the bad behavior and get the facts about Obama’s proposal and urge their Congressperson to act on their wishes?
And if the Congressperson chooses to spew crap instead, us voters can flood their office with hate mail….or anthrax.
We’re way too passive. In France or wherever, the government is scared of its people. People riot and stuff if the government isn’t working for them.
