The congressmen who yelled out "You Lie" at Obama during

[Cyrano]

a joint session of congress has Covid 19.

His name is Joe Wilson, a congressman from South Carolina.

Shouting that at Barack Obama, who was addressing the entire congress at the time, has to be the worst act of boorishness, disrespect and the most pure demonstration of being a world class asshole that has ever taken place under the congressional dome.

So this prick now has Covid 19. I don't want him, or anyone else to ever again die from this fucking horror that has descended upon us all.

Having said that, I wouldn't shed a tear for him if he becomes a victim of the disease.

[RVN VET71]

22. I've noted elsewhere that I don't want him to die from covid19

I want him to suffer from it, to have limbs and digits amputated because of it, with his lungs damaged so he wheezes with each hard won breath. And I want him to live, thus debilitated, for years as the repercussions from a combination covid19 and malignant racism eats its way slowly up his body until, at long last, at long long last, it shuts his entire system down with a wheezing sigh, a loud fart, and a complete release of the contents of his bowels while his loved ones look on.

In other words, he really irked me with that racist "You lie!" shout at Obama.

He also disturbed me with his appearance before "Borat's" camera asserting that 3 years olds needed to own guns to protect themselves because, as he pointed out, there are no age limits attached to the second amendment. (And no, I didn't just make that up. He said, he really and actually did. "A child cannot defend himself by throwing Hello Kitty pencil cases at an assailant.&quot

47. I have to say that the first paragraph kept my attention, I could not stop reading

Poetic.

[RVN VET71]

52. Well, I do like to string me an unrhymed verse now and then!

[Paladin]

2. Serves him right. (nt)

[gibraltar72]

3. My POS congressman Tim Walberg

brought him to Mi. to campaign for him.

[roamer65]

10. I fucking hate Walberg.

Even from MI-12, Debbie Dingells district, I hate him.

He is a stain on the reputation of MI.

I am hoping his district is eliminated in next years redraw.

[gibraltar72]

43. Most dishonest man I've ever personally met.

And I was in the used car business for a period of time.

[roamer65]

45. Right wing Trumpist.

Crooked Tim.

[gibraltar72]

50. Shadowed some of his meetings for Dem candidate

last cycle. Literally could not believe some of the stuff I heard.

[roamer65]

53. Did you have to shower afterward?

I would feel the need.

[johnp3907]

4. Thank you for saying " joint session of congress."

[RussBLib]

5. Why don't any of these horrible GOP'ers croak?

Coincidence.

[mitch96]

15. That's why I think "you lie" Joe Wilson is bullshiting.Just to say he's cured and it was no big deal

Until they are in ICU on a vent I don't believe any of them....Their history is bullshitting and lying.
Why would this be any different???? YMMV

[niyad]

21. I don't believe until the obit. But then, I am such a cynical, suspicious nasty woman.

[paleotn]

36. Anyone heard from Goulliani lately?

[ProfessorGAC]

6. I'll Take The Low Road

I hope he dies from it!
If that makes me a bad person, so be it.
Given who we're discussing, I'll sleep just fine.

[Rorey]

12. I'll take the lower road - there are things worse than death

I'd be fine with him suffering the after-effects that aren't spoken about often enough. Life long lung impairment, amputations, kidney failure, inflammation of the heart muscle, psychiatric issues, etc.

[ProfessorGAC]

13. Yeah, That Works!

I'm ok either way.

[Escurumbele]

48. He already suffers from "psychiatric issues"

So, one down, many more to go

[RAB910]

7. "I've never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure."

[niyad]

24. Which is why I keep a bottle of sparkling wine chilled.

[lunatica]

25. That sounds like a Mark Twain quote.

[RAB910]

32. funny you should say that

it's mistakenly attributed to Mark Twain, but he never said it. That's why I left it as an unattributed quote

[lunatica]

35. I'll remember that

Though, if something I said was attributed to Mark Twain I’d be delighted that it would be in such a glorious context! There would be no living with me.

[RAB910]

40. I didn't say it either, I had hoped leaving it in quotes

would express that it was just something that I heard (that I thought fit perfectly), rather than my original thought.

[lunatica]

41. Yes. I figured that was the reason for the quotes.

My response was because I assumed you were quoting someone.

Sorry for the misunderstanding!

[Captain Zero]

46. sometimes a 'quote' like that is attributed to, -Anon.

fyi

[Greybnk48]

8. Fuck Joe Wilson, the racist, vile, prick.

What he did was jarring and horrible for the majority of the voters in our country. It felt like a slap across the face at the time; breathtaking.

Joe Wilson also sent a message around the world that racism is alive and well in the U.S., and if you want to shit on our new President, there are Congress members here that will work with you: Rohrbacher, Nunez, Ron Johnson, Mitch McConnell, etc..

I hate him, unabashedly.

[mr_lebowski]

9. Isn't Rohrbacher gone?

Thought he was anyway ...

But yeah.

[niyad]

27. Gone, but, alas, not forgotten. Apparently one of that russian asset's top aides just died after

"Falling" during an evening stroll

[Greybnk48]

56. That was freaky! How can something like that just be ignored?

Assuming it is being ignored.

[Cyrano]

14. Joe Wilson has made it into the history books

He will forever be remembered for screeching "You lie" at the President of the United States during a speech that the world was watching.

I don't know if history books of the future will allow terms and phrases like: "Racist prick", or "Brainless, bigot, motherfucker," but if they do, Wilson will become an entry on a par with Rick Santorum's famous Google entry.

(The Santorum entry was the first one in Google for a long time. Today, you have to scroll down a bit, but it's still there. And it's stiil a perfect analogy of who and what that man is.)

Hopefully, someone will post a similar Google entry on Wilson, a disgusting specimen of humanity who deserves to be regarded as dreck by all decent human beings.

[Jirel]

11. If we're lucky...

people will be able to yell "You Die!" at him in the near future.

He has been complicit in getting people killed by this horror. I have no sympathy left for him, unlike you. I'm just fine with him being a victim of karma.

[Ponietz]

16. Preston Brooks' caning of Charles Sumner tops Wilson for boorishness I think

Interesting that Brooks was also a South Carolinian. I expect, soon, “hold my beer” from the #Fuckers.

[LudwigPastorius]

17. He signed the lawsuit Texas filed to try to overturn the election.

He has supported birthers' lies about Obama.

He supported Trump's muslim ban.

He opposes, and wants to gut, the Affordable Care Act.

He supported Sascha Baron Cohen's (fake) program to train and enable toddlers to carry weapons.

In short, the man is a monumental cock. If COVID takes him..."it is what it is".

[Turbineguy]

18. Obviously this virus

is lacking in discernment.

May Satan pass gas while standing by this guy's ventilator air inlet

[we can do it]

19. Die mutherfucker

[SoonerPride]

20. Can I shout from outside his house "YOU DIE!"

Because I would.

[DENVERPOPS]

23. In the meantime.......

Putin is sitting on his couch, with his bowl of popcorn, watching everything, and laughing his ass off........

[benld74]

26. It's called Karma

[homegirl]

30. And

it's a B.I.T.C.H.

[griloco]

28. May he join Herman Cain as a running mate...wherever

What a noble gesture 'twud be getting people to vaccinate by unexample!!!

[mrsadm]

29. I well remember that jerk

What a despicable thing to do. Glad he’s getting some payback.

[Ferrets are Cool]

31. What a damned shame

[SeattleVet]

33. I hope he has a long and complete recovery.

[GoCubsGo]

34. This fucker is my "representative."

I don't want him do die. I just want him to go the hell away. He is one of the most useless people on the planet, and hasn't done a goddamn thing for the vast majority of his constituents. He only caters to the wealthy ones.

[BlueIdaho]

37. May he become a covid long hauler.

That - he deserves.

[RAB910]

38. Joe is scrubbing his FB page of his mocking comments about Covid

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

39. That was a planned event, IMO.

Of all the Republican congressmen and senators in attendance, there just happened to be a camera trained on Wilson when he made his boorish comment. Not just pointing in his direction, but zoomed in so he's centered in the camera image. This does not happen by accident.

[Cyrano]

51. By chance, by luck, by accident, or by plan,

anyone who intentionally does something like this is a world class prick. This crosses the concept of disgusting into the arena of mental disease.

If there ever was a true Republican forerunner of Trump, this prick is the one.

And he, along with the entire Republican party, needs to let the world know what they are. The logo of today's Republican Party must be an elephant wrapped in a swastika.

[Raine]

57. I think the plan was for them all to do it but

he was the only one stupid enough to actually do it!

[Lunabell]

42. At the very least,

I wish his family well. We can't help our relatives sometimes. My father was a trumpster. RIP, daddy. Love you with all my heart.

[3catwoman3]

44. He will NOT be in my...

...thoughts and prayers.

(I think about all manner of things. I don’t pray about anything.)

[Raine]

49. I'm sure he'll recover just fine

types like him always do.

[Cha]

54. And, Pres Obama said back..

"not true".

That's the way I remember it. Joe Wilson was an Asshole to do that

[denbot]

55. This was posted a day or two ago, but I love reading all of these posts.

So sue me.
