First of all, I don't approve of congressmen trashing the decorum that traditionally accompanies joint sessions of Congress. As a conservative, I wish, when representative Wilson lost control, he would have yelled, "That's not true!".
I'm sure Wilson was frustrated because Republicans sought to amend the House Bill demanding a "citizenship verification system," but it was rejected by Democrats. Illegals already have free healthcare in hospitals, and the hospitals eat the bill. Government-run healthcare would probably pass that bill directly to taxpayers, instead of the current system that indirectly passes the cost to Americans in the form of higher hospital procedure prices.
Wilson should not be praised for his vulgar outburst, nor should he be punished for speaking the truth. At least he didn't yell, "You suck," which I said several times, unreported, as I watched Obama's promotional instruction in socialism.

On Thursday, Rush Limbaugh played recordings of Democrats booing George Bush during a State of the Union speech. Then Limbaugh played comments by the mainstream media who stated that this was a "new thing"... a president being booed in a joint session... But there was no "outrage" expressed among participants.
I watched a clip of it online tonight since I didn't see last night's speech. "was that out loud?" Yep! Sure was!
Bekah,
I was reading a story about it linked on Peter Heck's site. One woman left the comment: "Opposition to a take over of your country isn't always 'civil.'"
Many people feel that way because government healthcare is such a huge step towards socialism and a powerful centralized government.
That's how we do things in South Carolina! We love Joe Wilson. And, hey...at least he's no Mark Sanford. But you keep your eye on Jim DeMint. He's our guy.
