Joe Wilson has a right to his opinion. The issue he apologized for was breaking the "Rules of Decorum". As an elected official there are certain principles of civility he's required to observe.
in the context that this was done? i would say NONE.
you have such a weak argument.
we are free to call obama and bush a liar and protest them, but the setting and circumstances under which this occurred were highly inappropriate.
are we going to have brawls in congress now, like they do in those asian countries?
Can you admit that in 2005 at the SOTU the Dems called names and made all kinds of group noises? Can you admit that the whole darned bunch laughed and giggled during Bush's SOTU acting worse than a bunch of third graders
Oh I forgot it is alright or them to act like that because of the far left double standard. they are allowed to do whatever they want but don't let one Republican to shout out the truth during one more campaign speech being delivered under the guise of one to the Congress. Just another campaign speech and it was handled so well by The Man. He just hestitated and went on with his speech which made him look almost as good as Bush did when the Dems acted their 3rd grader act. Oh yeah, a Republican heckles a bit and the MSM group goes wild. Pelosi to all you folks.
And how many Dems actually even thought of apologizing? This just goes to prove yet again that dems have no honor.
I most certainly called Bush a liar, but never during a presidentail address. It's not what he said but when he said it. There is a certain level of decorum in the halls of congress when the president speaks. No one did this to Bush, no one.

I agree with this a 100%. He has the right to have an opinion but he should have chosen a better time and place to voice his opinion.

I don't remember that happening - can you post a link?
well this was posted yesterday. I guess as soon as people started complaining about Rep. Wilson someone was quick to point out "But Mommy they did it first" They don't really sound like "Boos" to me though just a lot of noise but I've got the speakers really low so it's hard to tell. I'll listen again later

...and by the way ELO sucks
So, your conclusion is, its ok to do it to Bush, but not Obams huh? And as far as "ELO sucking"...i guess you would know all about sucking eh?
Society in general is loosing all sense of decorum and show no respect or manners anymore. People feel like they don't HAVE to, and that it's pointless to even try. If they disagree with someone it's open season to call attention to it no matter how rude or inappropriate it may be. It's not a Republican/conservative/Democrat/liberal issue. It's a human issue. And it's scary.
