Joe Wilson intended to shriek "You lie" at real President Obama?

An angry crowd in South Carolina chanted "you lie" to Rep. Joe Wilson at a town hall Monday, using the Republican congressmans own infamous line against him.
Wilson was rebuked after shouting those words at former President Barack Obama during his speech to Congress in 2009, after the president said the health reforms he was proposing would not apply to those in the country illegally.
Wilson later apologized, and Obama accepted the apology, saying at the time that "we all make mistakes."
Wilson was confronted at a town hall in Aiken County, South Carolina, on Monday again on the issue of Obamacare but this time by people upset over Republicans plans to repeal the health care law.

He plans to tear Mueller a new one, along with some others, when he shows up in a couple of weeks. In their dreams!
