Republican Congressman Joe Wilson yells "You Lie" to President Obama

Some are asking who was the person yelling "You Lie" out to the President as he explained that illegal aliens would not receive health care

According to the Huffington Post, That person's Republican Congressman Joe Wilson of South Carolina. I personally thought his outburst, which caused Democrats on the other side of the congressional aisle to boo, was very disrespectful and marks a period of less than classy discourse and behavior.

The bottom line is that it's not part of the heath care reform proposal.

On CNN's Larry King, Senator John McCain said Wilson's outburst was totally disrespectful and that Rep. Wilson should apologize immediately.

Here's some videos:

Now you should all ask yourselves, exactly why was it that Joe Wilson's emotions got the best of him.

[Mark Mentzer]

His emotions got the best of him because he's an arrogant, racist, hypocritical bastard who would hire an illegal immigrant at the drop of a hat because they work cheap.

From Joe the Plumber to Joe the Congressman we've had more people concerned about which party is in control than about doing what is best for the average American.

It isn't that Republicans have bad ideas on health care reform, but many of their best ideas would work well in conjunction with the Democratic plans not instead of. And none of their plans have been any good replacement to the public option.

Joe the Congressman should read more and shout out less.

Exactly, and that's why I do still support President Obama. I only follow a leader when I'm comfortable with where he's going. I just wanted to make it clear that I don't have a partisan POV. The extreme partisan behaviors only get in the way, as we've all seen in the past several months.

I can't attest to the man's bigotry or arrogance, but this is an indicator of how deep divisions in this country run.
