Thread: Was Rep. Joe Wilson's "You Lie" outburst at Obama racially motivated?

Obama was invited to address the peoples' congress and flat out lied to them. That is disrespectful. Calling him on his lie is not disrespectful.

LOL, I wonder how many people here would hit the "report" button if someone posted "You lie!" as a response to something they said.

Daggum pesky facts get in the way of a good poutrage post every time.

Y'all could replace the "no thanks" button with a "you lie" button and find out. Be sure to include a link the insult generator that will automatically add an insult as well.

Obama seems to have habit of insulting people when he addresses the peoples' congress.

Frankly, I thought his statements to the Supreme Court were at least as out of line as anything else that happened that night.

Yes, we understand that you think that, we also understand that you can't substantiate your "say" and that you often try to do so with a search engine string, something that could literally include anything... such as a negative affirmative claim about someone.


How many more years are we going to have this "argument?"

We get it, you see racism everywhere. Move on.

Who the hell does he think he is? Adolf Hitler? Saddam Hussein?

He made a demonstrably false statement.

Even if you couldn't understand English you could still tell that Obama was lying just by the tone of his voice and the guilty look on his face. He's like a little kid, you can read him like a book. You could tell that he did not believe the words he was reading off of that teleprompter. Obama obviously knew that he was lying to the American people.

Why didn't Obama simply say "You are right Mr. Wilson. I apologize for my mistake. I'm going to fire my speechwriter."

Everytime I hear Obama give a speech, he comes across as someone with a really big ego and even his "positive" comments seem to be dripping with contempt for others. I can't stand to hear him talk for more than a couple of minutes at a time. He does not seem to be a geuine person, but instead comes across as fake and forced.

Demonstrate to me how it was false, please.

Oh For Fux Sake - Do you expect people here to take you seriously when you post shit like that?

No.
