For those on the left harping and moaning about Joe Wilson’s “You Lie” comment, just remember this: your side did it, too. And, of course, nobody had a problem with it, did they?
When it’s a Republican, it’s all fine and dandy, but when it’s one of their guys, why, suddenly they’re outraged by it. I swear, if you look up the definitions of the words “hypocrite” or “crybaby”, it HAS to say “liberal Democrat” in there somewhere, and if it doesn’t, then it SHOULD.
As for what Joe Wilson called the President a liar over, well…he’s right. Obama was lying. Nothing new, of course, because that’s all he does. That, and talk about himself.
Update: Talk about the pot and the kettle:
Democrats said it showed lack of respect for the office of the presidency and was reminiscent of Republican disruptions at recent public forums on health care.
“I was embarrassed for the chamber and a Congress I love,” Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. said Thursday on ABC’s “Good Morning America.” “It demeaned the institution.”
Democrats are all of a sudden concerned about demeaning the institution and showing respect for the office of the President? PUH-LEASE!!! Remember how these guys behaved over the last eight years when they go on television and say that stuff. It’s remarkable how these guys can stand there and lie with a straight face.
Also, this is interesting:
After the speech, Rahm Emanuel, the White House chief of staff who sat a few rows in front of Mr. Wilson, said he immediately approached senior Republican lawmakers to encourage them to identify the heckler and urge him to issue an apology quickly.
“No president has ever been treated like that. Ever,” Mr. Emanuel said.
I dealt with that in the pre-update section. Mr. Emanuel is as big a liar as his boss (but we already knew that). The interesting part is how he immediately went looking for the source of the outburst and pressured Republicans to tell him who did it (as if the liberal media wouldn’t do that for him). Because he was concerned about showing respect for the office, you know. Pfft.
