Rep. Joe Wilson: Heckling President Obama is Unacceptable
|
Posted By: Nsenga Burton on September 12, 2009 EXCERPT (post originally appeared on TheLoop21.com) Yesterday during President Obama's speech on health care, Republican South Carolina Representative Joe Wilson shouted, "You lie!" Democrats and Republicans have condemned the act as they should. Like many racist White folks that are just enraged by the mere presence of a Black man in the White House, Rep. Joe Wilson has clearly lost his mind. Heckling the president while he's in the middle of making a speech? In my mind that doesn't make him any different than the moron journalist who threw shoes at President Bush in Iraq last year. It was completely inappropriate behavior, lacked decorum and was dangerous. People defended Muntathar al-Zaidi as an act of protest, but I felt he was throwing those shoes at America. Even if you don't like our representative, which I did not, there is no reason for that action, cultural norm or not. Having said that, Rep. Wilson is out of line and his inappropriate behavior is not befitting that of a member of Congress. If we accept this type of behavior, how far away are we from all out brawl on the Congressional floor like some other so-called first-world countries? What I find most appalling is that Rep. Wilson thinks that he is allowed to do this because of his extreme racism against President Obama. Imagine a politician from South Carolina feeling the need to call someone a liar? He did not call Governor Mark Sanford, an admitted infidel who lied about going hiking, when he spent state funds to go kick it with his "girlfriend" in Argentina. Rep. Wilson didn't find the need to call Lieutenant Governor of South Carolina Andre Bauer a "liar" when it was recently revealed that Bauer is gay, which isn't a problem unless you sponsor and back anti-gay legislation like Bauer and Sanford, who is also rumored to be gay, which would make him a liar again.

His actions are as unacceptable as if he- had showed up to the speech with a piston strapped to his hip, or was a street cop seeking an apology from the president and a world reknown scholar because of his own ignorance or a citizen refusing to accept the facts proving his president is an American.

Yep. Racism cloaked in so-called patriotism.
