Heckling the President is Unacceptable

Last night as President Obama addressed a joint session of Congress on the need for health insurance reform, Republican Congressman Joe Wilson of South Carolina actually screamed out “you lie” on the House floor in front of the full Congress and the entire nation.

Calling the President of the United States a liar in front of the nation is a new low even for House Republicans and it deserves the strongest response we can give. That’s why we’re issuing a special Rapid Response Alert.

Help us raise $100,000 in the next 48 Hours to send a message to Republicans like Congressman Joe Wilson that we will not stand for our President to be called a liar in front of the nation.

I agree, it’s not acceptable. However the liberals easily seem to forget ignore history.

- Obama called former President Bill Clinton a bald-faced liar during the 2008 presidential race.
- Harry M. Reid of Nevada, called President Bush a “loser” in 2005

It looks like Obama hit the “new low” first.

But let’s look at the facts. It appears Wilson was right.

“Under H.R. 3200, a ‘Health Insurance Exchange’ would begin operation in 2013 and would offer private plans alongside a public option…H.R. 3200 does not contain any restrictions on noncitzens—whether legally or illegally present, or in the United States temporarily or permanently—participating in the Exchange.”

It should also be noted that House Democrats killed any attempts in committee to add an enforcement that would require proof of citizenship or legal residency for those getting healthcare subsidies.

Wonder why?
