I heard moaning and groaning. That could have come from either side. They were just trying to stay awake. Nobody shouted out a thing. Im sure if you look at a few clinton SOTU speeches, you will hear the same moaning and groaning.

Humana's 1st Ammendment rights?
Maybe you feel the first amendment gives you the right to mislead the public and falsely represent yourself and your services.

I love the disclaimer at the bottom of the Humana letter:

"Neither the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services nor the Medicare
has reviewed these materials for accuracy or misrepresentation".

So they knew it "might" not be 'true' when they sent it.............
You really need to keep up here.

The dems did this more then once.

And this one is during the state of the union address and way out of line.
Watch them demwits sit when Bush is 100% correct.

RealClearPolitics - Video - Flashback: Democrats Boo Bush At 2005 State Of The Union

Talk about disrespectful and full of hate and of course the ole dem double standard.

You mention mislead, this is what Obama does for a living.

Joe Wilson was right to call him a liar, the congress was NOT in session at the time and he has the right to tell the truth.

Did you forget something? The dems in congress booing President Bush and remained in their seats during an applause after 9-11?

Talk about disrespectful.

You have to earn respect and so far, the liar has not earn the right to have respect given to him.
Did you forget about "Mistah You Lah" voting to approve healthcare funding for illegal immigrants back during the Wonderboy years???

I tried to warn House Democrats that giving Joe a "time-out" was a bad idea.

Shoulda just let it slide after he apologized.

Live and learn!

Wouldn't that depend on whether Wilson was actually telling a lie, like Obama?

Is it any wonder they are using it? Wilson has collected over $2 million since the incident.

His truth (you lie) along with a comparison of obama's words on the subject, should be a fundraising boon.

This just demonstrates the insincerity of Joe Wilson's apology. He's sorry for the outburst, but he's going to take advantage of the fame and opportunity to make some money it brought him?

Surely even die-hard right-wingers can see the hypocrisy here.

What does this have to do with the topic of Joe Wilson calling out Obama?

To make it clear, the congress was not in session at this time.

The left cannot stand it when they find out they are feeding a rep with millions of dollars like they are Joe.

Keep up the good work dems, the end of liberalism in getting near in America.
