Well, that's stupid. Not as stupid as the hounding Van Jones got but stupid nevertheless.

PRESSING ONWARD AND UPWARD WITH THE DESTRUCTION OF JOE WILSON.
Democratic leaders are planning a House vote early next week on whether to admonish Republican Rep. Joe Wilson if he does not apologize on the House floor for yelling "You lie!" during President Barack Obama's health care address.
Brendan Daly, a spokesman for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, said Friday that party leaders decided they will likely move forward with a resolution of disapproval against Wilson if he doesn't apologize to Congress.
Wilson told Obama he was sorry shortly after the incident on Wednesday, but has refused requests to apologize on the House floor. Wilson's office says the congressman considers his initial apology sufficient. He has also been telling supporters he will continue to speak loudly about the issue and "not be muzzled."

Health care negotiators in the Senate pressed for a way to ensure that illegal immigrants can't get access to government-funded insurance, a contentious issue now front and center after a Republican congressman's outburst during President Barack Obama's speech.
The issue is one of several thorny problems that came up as a small group of negotiators on the Senate Finance Committee met Friday morning. Finance Chairman Max Baucus, D-Mont., is aiming to finalize legislation on Obama's health overhaul by next week though whether it's bipartisan or not remains to be seen.
Members of the group said they thought they'd settled the question of illegal immigration, but it came to the fore this week when Republican Rep. Joe Wilson shouted "You lie" at Obama during his speech Wednesday. Obama had said illegal immigrants wouldn't be covered under his health plan.
Senators said that's forced the committee to work on provisions verifying legal status before an individual can get coverage.
"We've always been there, but we have to make sure to get the right process and language," said Sen. Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, one member of the so-called Gang of Six of three Republicans and three Democrats whom Baucus is leading.
Such verification can be tricky. Many Democrats fear that verification procedures keep legal residents from getting insurance, and in the House, they rejected Republican attempts to add verification requirements to the House health care bill.
I think that moderates are leaving Obama because they find his behavior less than advertised in the election. Those who are informing themselves recognize a liar when their hear one, so to hear a single bold voice saying what they already know to be true confirms their growing opinion.And this will be the net result, not amongst the left but the middle will have sympathy for his outburst, especially if they were watching the president's speech.PRESSING ONWARD AND UPWARD WITH THE DESTRUCTION OF JOE WILSON.

Publicly, no, because we still insist the office be respected even if we don't believe the man occupying it deserves the respect, but privately, yes, because we understand that Obama is a shameless, outrageous liar and we are glad to see him called on it, and because we recognize that however unpleasant Wilson's conduct may have seemed, he did manage to get the Dems to try to plug a loophole in their bills that would have allowed illegals to be covered.

I hear they are building a scaffold out in back of the House for him.

We? Your posts make it pretty clear you're not a moderate.
