In the entire history of my life I have never heard anyone address a sitting president as a "Liar", while addressing the Congress and the nation.  House Representative Joe Wilson (R), of South Carolina , should make a nation apology for his unwarranted and utterly disrespectful outburst at the president.

 

While I am sure that Rep. Wilson was angered with recriminations of the failure of GOP leadership the last eight years, he was overreaching on calling the president a liar before the nation and the world to see.

 

Are republicans that angry that they are being recognized as the disease that ails the american people.  One distortion after the other has been conveyed to anyone with ears from rightwingers seeking to derail the health care reform act.

 

The entire House should seek to sanction Wilson for his distasteful act.  As often as democrats disagreed with Nixon, Reagan, and both Bush's, no one ever attacked them as being liars eventhough it was discovered later that they were  willfully misleading the american people during thier tenures.

 

Remember the WMD's, of Iraq?  Bush!  How about Ghadfi, Reagan's mad man and Ollie North's Abu Nidal?  The list of lies go on and on.  Nonetheless, none of them were publically attacked for it.

 

As an American, I am grossly repulsed with the actions of Joe Wilson.   Joe Wilson, apologize NOW!!!
