US. Rep. Dana Rohrabacher was one of seven House Republicans who voted this week to formally rebuke Rep. Joe Wilson for shouting “you lie” during President Barack Obama’s Sept. 9 address on health care to a joint session of Congress,” according to the Daily Pilot.
The other Republicans who voted to rebuke Wilson were Cao, Emerson, Flake, Inglis, Jones, and Petri.
As President Jimmy Carter put it, Wilson is a racist. Carter is right. Look at how folks flipped out when Kanye West interrupted Taylor Swift during a recent televised video award show. But the same folks are sending money to Wilson. Both West and Wilson are racists! But one of them has raised $1.5 million since his racist outburst.
“The congressman, we learned, belonged to the Sons of Confederate Veterans, led a 2000 campaign to keep the Confederate flag waving above South Carolina’s state Capitol and denounced as a “smear” the true claim of a black woman that she was the daughter of Strom Thurmond, the ’48 segregationist candidate for president. Wilson clearly did not like being lectured and even rebuked by the brainy black president presiding over the majestic chamber,” according to Maureen Dowd.
The Total Buzz interviewed Rohrabacher, who told them “I think that unfortunately my Republican colleagues got sucked into playing low brow politics and we should have taken the high road. The high road is you maintain decorum in the House and you don’t want to have a president treated any differently than if Ronald Reagan was delivering the speech.’’
I don’t often agree with Dana, but this time I do appreciate his vote.
Dana did the right thing.
Assemblyman Birther, John Campbell, supports Wilson’s loutish conduct.
Figures.
First of all, Wilson was wrong to do what he did. Seconly Obama did lie. I don’t get it, Obama lies, Wilson calls him on it, and Carter calls him a racist. There is a major disconnect between, disagreement and being a`racist. Carter is a Douchebag, and had now doubled down on it.
As far as Kanye is concerned, I didn’t know Obama sent Wilson Money!
racist , racist racist when you have nothing . call him a racist for telling the truth
“Obama lies, Wilson calls him on it”
“call him a racist for telling the truth”
Actually Joe Wilson is the liar. Any and every credible person who has looked into the issue has clearly stated that Obama was telling the truth when he said that the proposed health care packages did not include coverage for undocumented immigrants.
It does not matter how many times you,Wilson, Rush, Hannity or Beck call him a liar, the facts support the President’s assertion.
You know, this blog is becoming more and more of the same…anyone who doesn’t agree with your opinion is a racist. Every other blog is hateful.
Welcome, fiveo.
I notice you don’t have anything much to offer to the conversation except some general complaint.
~Shrug~
fiveo you told the truth and you get ripped on see a familar pattern here ,
Sean, you are 100% correct and 100% Dishonest. the bill says you may not be illegal and get health insurance. (true) It also has “0” enforcement to see if you are legal. So if you tell them you are legal, you get the coverage, there is no fine, penalty, or anything to enforce it. Also if there is 1 person in the family who is eliganle for coverage……(say an anchor baby) the entire family can get coverage……so don’t pee on my leg and tell me it is raining
Dana continues to surprise. He is also just about the only Republican (besides Ron Paul) backing a withdrawal from Afghanistan. I fight against him for lots of good reasons but I always admitted he was mavericky.
Oh, and JOE WILSON is a liar! (Although I don’t mind his yelling so much.)
