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?

“For one thing, under an Obama presidency, Americans will be able to leave behind the era of George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and “wiretaps without warrants.”

And while this is still up on Obama’s campaign web site, I suspect it will disappear soon:

Secrecy Dominates Government Actions: The Bush administration has ignored public disclosure rules and has invoked a legal tool known as the “state secrets” privilege more than any other previous administration to get cases thrown out of civil court.

Now Obama’s Department of Justice claims the U.S. Government is completely immune from litigation for illegal spying and can never be sued for surveillance that violates federal privacy statutes.

From the Electronic Frontier Foundation:

San Francisco – The Obama administration formally adopted the Bush administration’s position that the courts cannot judge the legality of the National Security Agency’s (NSA’s) warrantless wiretapping program, filing a motion to dismiss [PDF file], Jewel v. NSA late Friday.

Where’s the outrage from the left? They must feel like Obama just fed them a crap sandwich.

AWB
