In reply to the discussion: The congressmen who yelled out "You Lie" at Obama during [View all]Greybnk48
(10,734 posts)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.
