Rep. Joe Wilson Yells Out "You Lie!" During Obama Health Care Speech (VIDEO)

Wilson is a perfect specimen of the extremist right column that is driven to usurp any forward motion towards solving this country's 100 year social and domestic policy deficits. His rude and inaccurate interruption at an inappropriate time and in an inappropriate setting (which through fact checking bears out that he knew nothing of which he spoke) is indicative of the loose cannon... allow no one a view in opposition to your own...facts be damned... hell bent on being right in spite of all facts to the contrary attitude that we've seen for months in public debate over health care reform proposals in town meetings...where some fllow extremist right columnists have even brandished rifles in the parking lots of presidential appearances.

His outburst exposed him as the same sort of troglodyte in a Brooks Brother's suit that more than likely helped orchestrate the slew of fear generating lies that has thwarted the work of other good people of genuine effort to distribute health care to millions of people who desperately need it.

We now have a prime suspect in the allegiance that has come up with “death panels”, “higher taxation” scares, the forfeit of choice in physicians and the Socialism slanders and falsehoods we have been barraged with from Rush to Hannity to Fox News. Wilson owes not only the President and Congress an apology. He need publicly apologize directly to the people of America for his intentional dismissal of the rules of conduct and then roll up his sleeves and work markedly harder towards the betterment of any and all legislation which would improve upon the quality of life for American citizens rather than showing a continued willingness to only have concerns, accurate or otherwise to attempt to simply win the debate and deflate the popularity of a president for what simple deduction makes appear to be purely political and/or racial purposes.
If any private citizen even at an informal town hall or Bush appearance had done this, they would have been forced to the ground, possibly tasered and escorted off the premises.

It has taken place over less provocation.

Wilson should not get a free pass.

(And am I mistaken or are those two guys on either side of Wilson, clones?)

Obama: "We Do Intend To Get Something Done This Year"

I don't think for a minute that any health care plan proposed is going to stand up well besides what other westernized, modern nations are already providing to their people. We may get a savings over existing costs. But we will still be at the mercy of the insurance industry with their exception (waeasel) clauses and denials of services for "pre-existing conditions" which allow them to cut off people (or a gov't) that pays the premiums. That is of course if any proposal at all meets the criteria and the approval of the insurers, care provider and pharm industries...and their botton line, profit.

And that's the problem, really. For all the talk of wishing to provide affordable health care for the people of America, the bottom line as seen by Congress is to appear to be doing the noble thing like so many other countries have managed to do, and to in fact appease the lobby moneys that help people in high public office maintain their war chests for pending re-elections.

It's unfortunately a "promise them anything. Give them as little as you can possibly get away with." situation that the American people are once more placed in no matter what if anything gets a majority vote.

You see, in this way America suffers from a pre-existing condition and service has been denied for decades. Come up with a definitively workable health plan for the people as it is in England, France and elsewhere and maybe we can find and cure America's leadership from it's addiction to the health industry dollar.

If we can (and do) provide universal health care in Iraq and Afghanistan without the boondoggle...why can't we do it for our own, right here?
