OBAMA: “The reforms I’m proposing would not apply to those who are here illegally.” One congressman, South Carolina Republican Joe Wilson, shouted “You lie!” from his seat in the House chamber when Obama made this assertion. Wilson later apologized.

THE FACTS: The facts back up Obama. The House version of the health care bill explicitly prohibits spending any federal money to help illegal immigrants get health care coverage. Illegal immigrants could buy private health insurance, as many do now, but wouldn’t get tax subsidies to help them. Still, Republicans say there are not sufficient citizenship verification requirements to ensure illegal immigrants are excluded from benefits they are not due.
Rep.Joe Wilson LIED-Should he be Charged with Treason and Threats to the President?

Wilson’s remark won’t cost us,but Bozo’s adding skills will.
FACT CHECK: Obama uses iffy math on deficit pledge
President Barack Obama used only-in-Washington accounting Wednesday when he promised to overhaul the nation’s health care system without adding “one dime” to the deficit. By conventional arithmetic, Democratic plans would drive up the deficit by billions of dollars.
The president’s speech to Congress contained a variety of oversimplifications and omissions in laying out what he wants to do about health insurance.

No he should not.
He is not even close to committing either treason or threatening the Pres.
If you charged every person who said something like that about a President many people would have been charged by saying Bush lied about WMDs in Iraq.

The Right will argue that the ERs have to treat anyone who walks through the ER door. If they continue that practice, then the bills should be sent to the Mexican Embassy here in the U.S. That way, they are paying for their own citizens.

As Rep. Joe Barton of Texas has said repeatedly, in committee when some Congress members tried to add an amedment requiring proof of citizenship to get gov’t medical insurance, the Dems blocked it! So, Wilson was on the money.

no, this isn’t the Bush Administration. Had it been, Wilson would have been escorted from the premises in handcuffs.

No but Obama should be charged with subverting the constitution. He is trying to destroy our nation. If he has his way, we will be communists. He has no business in the highest office in our land. He should be impeached. If anything, Wilson should be given a Medal. Wilson for President in 2012….

Then why do they keep saying “47 million”, which includes 10 million illegals? There is a lie in there somewhere?
Also, the bill does not prohibit STATES from spending FEDERAL money on illegals.

Verification of citizenship?
Not in the bill for some reason, wonder why. Why would dems remove this language.

No he should be put in stocks and have tomatoes thrown at him, not for interrupting Obama’s speech, but for being a member of a terrorist organization, the GOP

I’m guessing your intent with the way you worded your question is simply to incite people. How is calling the President a liar (whether true or not) a “threat to the President” or even “Treason”? Are you even remotely familiar with the laws you’re suggesting he violated?

He should resign in disgrace because this was a world watched event and as americans we do not do that to ANY president, except a black one.,..truly.
I think it is funny his website is down and I am organizing now to go to his offices and his place of business on capitol hill and make sure he hears our protests.
This one will be the last straw for democrats and he singlehandedly united almost all democrats.
Well Done Wilson……

Is “Treason” applicable for calling someone a liar? Gosh!
Pelosi should be tried for treason too for calling citizens nazis and mobs.

Just because an illegal can’t get health insurance doesn’t mean they won’t get free health care in an ER, just like they do now.

Little Joe musta got caught up in the moment and in one heart beat he will regret for the rest of his political life, he uttered a word seldom used by politicians. He quickly apologized. He really screwed up. A simple word like that could unite your opponents and condemn you.

That was rather mild compared to what I heard from Democrats during President Bush’s speeches. I don’t recall any of them being charged with treason (by the way that is defined as giving aid and comfort to an enemy, something that democrats should be familiar with). And telling the president he is lying is not a threat, its a matter of personal opinion.

Look this guy is entitled to free speech. He should not be charged with anything. However it was an inappropriate forum, out of Congressional norm to challenge an invited speaker like that, esp the president.
If you’re mad, then execute your freedom of speech, and look into his challenger and kick him out of Congress!

Although Rep. Wilson may be entitled to free speech, his behavior was extremely improper. He should be fined, censored, and possibly impeached.
I am certain that he is sorry for his outrageous behavior. But Mr. Wilson needs to learn some respect.

IDK but this guy has problems and no respect for an African American president. He should get in trouble for calling our president a liar.

He should get a fine or something for being so disregardful to the president of the unite states. This guy look like a racist an just a idiot but neocons love people like him to be the face of their party. >
