Republican should know that the president need to be respected, i think some people need parental control. if this crap should behave this way how will his children behave...people are watching every deed..anyway by looking into their eyes i can see hatred...nothing more.

John Boehner and Joe Wilson can take their fascist attitudes and take a leap into the lake of fire. They are racists who can’t use the words they want to use; so they hid behind words that will not get them shunned by all civilized people. Shame on you John and Joe, bigotry will never win and you will be judged losers whose closed minds made it impossible for you to accept a black man as president.

Apologizing is not a punishment to break the House rules.

At the minimum, his attendance to future joint House sessions should be revoked.

Actually, Wilson only apologized because he was told to do so. I think President Obama accepted in out of kindness, but he knows as well as most of america knows that this man had intentions of discrediting him. Republicans has been using that illegal immigrant clause to scare people for months now.

Most republicans agree with what wilson did. That's why we are in the condition wer are currently in.

Of course you will boehner, you lack decorm and civility just like wilson. You are a screaming, yelling, republican who distorts the truth and tells lies just like those who demonstrated this weekend. All of you republicans should be ashamed of yourselves. This is America, and America is for all races not just white people.

I'll vote for you to have some substance. Get a life.

Well of course Boehner will. He is just as pathetic.

What can one expect from two people that look like brothers and both have the stinch of hate.

This is exactly why Congress has a 20% approval rating. Who cares about a resolution against Wilson, what good will that do? Get to work and stop with the petty nonsense!

At first I thought, as I think Pelosi and other democrats did, that Wilson was sincere in his apology. However, after seeing him on Fox news and other places trying to raise money off of the event, and basically brushing off his immature, stupid behavior, I believe he is not really sincere. This I believe is what is causing Pelosi and others to think again about letting this jerk off the hook.

Democrats need to stop playing victims and fix health care. Come on guys.

Rep. Wilson's conduct was unbecoming an "Honorable Gentleman from South Carolina" or any state; it was offensive to the whole population of the US. He should apologize to the whole US via the House. If he was honorable or a gentleman, he would do so without being asked. And, as for the politics of the matter, until he apologizes to the House he will be seen as the mouth piece of the GOP. No one will want to hear what Republicans might offer to reform healthcare while he continues to hold the spotlight with his refusal to act in an appropriate manner.

This is CNN reporting on something that has the legs of a dead horse to stand on. They are so desperate for news coverage that they can't let go of Wilson's leg. How funny is that!

Boorish, loud, uncouth American -thanks for keeping our country cool. Is that what your mother taught you? Even you sanctimonious jack asses must understand manners. I suspect your mother must be quite disappointed. I know I am ashamed to be represented by likes of you and your bad manners. Grow up, learn the rhetoric of politics and speak like an intellectual leader, not a 2 year old. Fondly,
A fan of civil discourse

Of course you will. You are as classless and dishonorable as he is. Why would anyone expect you to do the right thing. After all, who would know you were a Republican if you did?

It's obvious that Wilson does not regret what he did and he probably never will. He is too radical in his views to even consider he might have been wrong. So much for civility in Congress. If it isn't possible in Congress, then where in America?

Just as I will not be satisfied and feel justice has been served until Wilson apologizes to the American people; I am not surprised in the least Boehner, would vote no. Boehner always votes no. Boehner by not voting against Wilson shows he is arrogant and feels Wilson is above the rules of the House and not accountable to the American people.

Another partisan, corrupt Republican. He'd swindle his mother out of her life savings if it would benefit his greedy Republican party.

Yeah, so what. Boehner isn't exactly a poster child when it comes to proper behavior and class. Him and Wilson are just a couple hacks trying to get some air-time.

This is beyond stupid that this continues to be "News" or any time is wasted on it. Democrats, I vote for you. Grow up.

This is the South, what do you expect from Boehner or Canter. They are doing what the people elected them to do. Ruin Obama. CNN needs to ask more questions and cover the news. Bush and the Reps are the ones that lied and will do anything to keep the lies flowing and so would CNN.

One idiot, defending another idiot. Seems like the republican party has been hijacked by the Dark Side, vicious and sinister. This development should not be trivialized or easily dismissed,.. as these are dangerous people,.. the likes of Joe Wilson, Sarah Palin, Mark Williams and Jim Demint.

Just let it go. The republicans have a lot more to answer for than this!

Under GWB, we became a poorer nation. Financially and morally.

vote the clown out of office

What needs to be considered is the idea that the man broke the rules on the House by directly calling the president a liar. That needs some response from the House. If it has been booing or hissing; it is disrepectful, but it isn't challenging what the president said. To assume that the president is lying to the Congress boarders on treason to me - it isn't but close. No Democrat ever shouted out clear words during George W(oman) Bush's speeches, did they? Boo and hiss maybe but never calling him a liar during the speech.

First of ALL Obama was lying , so he should be called out. Secondly Obama will be treated with the same respect you small democrats showed President Bush for 8 yrs, which was Zero. What comes around goes around. Stop crying , you people personally attacked Bush on a daily basis and you expect Republicans to worship this Loser,,,,ha, ha that is funny. Isnt Karma a beautiful thing, and thank you Nancy and Dirty Harry for waking up this country and reviving the Republican party. I love it when the Democrats are in denial and say the Republican party is over???? Are you people insane, Democrats just won their second presidental election in the last 30 yrs. And in 2010 your one term loser President will get beat and you will give the house back in congress. Democrats are great you can just sit back and watch them self-destruct......

The Republican party is the party of adolescence. Freedom is only for the loud and rude.

What Wilson has done is disgraceful and the GOP just wants to sweep it under the carpet and pretend nothing happened. MR Boehner and his colleagues will burn in Hell.

Republicans continue to show their disrespect for the President and for our country. There should be no doubt espicially after listening to Rep. Demint at their hate rally on Sat. that Republicans have no intentions on helping to clean up the mess they made. How in the world could anyone take them serious. I can only imagine the fake outrage they would have had if anything like this would have happened when Bush/ Cheney were lying us into an unnecessary war.

Now that one Republican has shown that he has a spine, why don't the rest of you follow suit?

You can bet that if a Democrat had been this rude, Boehner would be in favor of more than admonishment. It is not partisan to ask for an apology for his rudeness. There should be respect for the President, regardless of his party. I think Wilson should apologize to all the people of South Carolina and all Americans.

If it was the other way around, he would vote yes. Republicans are a big bunch of hyprocrites.

Thing is, Bohner, no one gives a crap what you do.

And Wilson should have apologized like a man and then shut the heck up. Never go on and on bragging about inapropriate behavior. Now we think you're a total moron and a censure isn't enough.

Imagine what the response would have been from the Republican leadership if a Democrat had yelled "you lie" when President Bush made his false claim that Iraq was trying to aquire yellow-cake uranium. They wouldn't have made the person apology on the house floor. They would have tried to have the person arrested for treason.

That's right – show more ignorance – typical right wingnuts.

Yes, congressman Wilson should apologize on the house floor. If we are going to have civil debate about anything we can not have outbursts like that from anyone. The rules of the house indicate that he should be reprimand. This would be a great time to enforce the rules, so that this does not happen again.

This guy should be given a medal, not a reprimand. My check is in the mail.

peas in a pod... birds of a feather and all.

What else would you expect from the "good ole boy" Party of No?

SOOOOO now he wants to do away with petty partisanship. This man is an arrogant ......

Republican trash: No respect for the institution at all, just plain Sick.

Many of you liberals will complain that the GOP is circling the wagons and protecting Wilson. I have but one question to ask. Pelosi ever remove Rangel from his chairmanship yet? Why not? OK two questions!

Would you vote against a resolution criticizing a democrat for similar behavior? I think not, "Mr. pretend to be non-partisan guy." The behavior we've seen in this country recently-behavior often promoted by irresponsible Republican leadership-needs to stop.

It's all part of the Republican agenda to bring down Obama. Please stop.

This is stupid. When are these hyprocrites going to stop covering for Rangel; Frank and Dodd. They are the ones that should be punished.

His apology wasn't
REAL. I want Joe to stop "indoctrinating" my children on how to DISRESPECT THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES AND THE CHAMBER IN WHICH HE SAT.

Where can I mail a contribution to Wilson?

For once, Pelosi is right. Let's move on. Use that energy to fight for a major health reform bill.

Oboma is not telling the truth. The democrats are wasting time. If oboma wants respect he sould act like a president and lead. He claims to have an open door but his door is closed and he is off on the campaign trail. Hey, president the campaign is over and get back in your office. Open your door and listen to your opponents. Remember not to call them stupid ,ignorant, or racist. While your at it make sure Acorn doesn't get a cent of taxpayers money. rememer the time we "must act now" "we can not afford to wait" ? That did not work too well, waist of money. The president sould never run around like chicken little.Makes you look stupid and no one believes you anymore.

Ah the party of No. No civility. No respect. No ability to follow the rules. No responsiblity for one's own actions.

Of course you would...in addition to always marching in lock-step, you're just another Republican dumb ...well, you fill in the blanks.

I am a democrate an i had always thought of mr boehner as a fair mined indivsual an a some what left leaning repubulican buit i guess that i was wrong in my estamation he should not only be in favor of a resoulation but mr wilson should be censured on the floor on congress for showing such disrespect for the office of the presicidency even if he doesnt have any respect for the president if this same same thing had happen while georgie prodgey was president the entire republican adminstration would have blwon up until they had had thwe person responsibly for it impeached an thrown out of the congress for good . i recently lost a job for just speaking my mind within the workplace an mangament didnt like it because i was telling the truth. they can't stand the light of the sunshine when it is shone onto them thank you

Of course, and I bet he congratulated Wilson in private.

If Boehner refuses to admonish someone for not following the rules of Congress, is Boehner then OK with everyone in the US choosing to follow only the laws that they find relevant with no consequences?

if Boehner refuses to admonish someone for not following the rules fo congress, are is he then OK with everybody in the US choosing to follow only the laws they find relevant with no consequences?

So? Big Thumbs Down!

John Boehner says we should work together to reform health care. Funniest thing I've heard in days. The obstructionist, hate filled Republicans don't care a whit about health care reform – they care about "breaking" our President.

Does he get one of the autographed photos of Wilson's outburst? What is wrong with America lately?!?!

God Bless President Obama. He is showing true class.

Hmmm,
Can we pass work a resolution condeming Harry Reid for when he called Bush a loser? Can we pass a resolution condeming Bill Clinton for lying under oath to a grand jury? Can we pass a resolution condeming Nancy Pelosi for a bad BOTOX injection?

Need I go on?

Until we have leaders who are willing to stand up and comdeme this type of behavior, we will continue to have this type of rude behavior!!!

Don't play Pelosi's game. She's a partisan schemer with no scruples and no principles.

Face it bonehead, you would stand in support of any terrorist. You are a republican after all, the party that has tried to ruin this country since it's inception. Is it any surprise that the first civil war was under the first republican president? I think not. The problem is that they lied then about what the civil war was about, and they lie now. The convinced it was slavery, when it was actually full blown control of peoples free will.

Would we expect anything less from Boehner? Could he even offer anything less? Don't think so.

Way to implode, GOP.

I think this shows the Republicans never planned to be bipartisan...

Who expects the hypocrite Boehner the head enabler to criticize Wilson? This gutless negative enabler would be criticizing himself if he did.

Of course he will....republicans can't even come together with democrats to keep the rule of decorum at a joint session of congress. Unbelievable!

That is a NO Brainer..... Two of a kind!!

The Republicans are now overrun by these Idiots.

Is this news? Boehner and Wilson are both cut from the same Party of No, hypocritical cloth. You can bet if a Democrat had shouted "you lie" at Pres. Bush, Boehner would be OUTRAGED. What a jerk!

"Instead of pursuing this type of petty partisanship, we should be working together to lower costs and expand access to affordable, high-quality health coverage on behalf of the American people."

I agree it's time to move on. Too bad Mr. Boehner does not practice what he preaches.

The principals have resolved this matter. Time to move on.

The GOP has a Boner for bad manners and rudeness. The GOP is proud of Joe Wilson for disrespecting and dehumanizing the President. The Jerks in the GOP will also be heckled since they like heckling so much. Even if Wilson got everything he wanted in the health care bill he would still vote against it. Wilson is like the class clown in grade school who acts up to get attention from his peers. Wilson made himself famous by rudely interrupting the President so he could fundraise more. Wilson is not apologetic at all he is proud of his misdeed.

Barack Obama needs to keep his head down. They love to dish it out, those Democrats. But can't take it when it Boomerangs..

Congress should stop this nonsense. Are we going to spend this week voting on someone's bad behavior or on health care the economy and etc?

The sanctimony od the Democrats is the height of hypocracy! Wilson has apologized several times already. Get over it and try to do something not detrimental to our Country for a change!

With the way they conducted themselves re: Bush the lampooning they are putting Wilson through is almost commical! By the way, NoBama DID lie on several topics last week. Time will prove Wilson right. Mark my words.

I think the only thing more petty than yelling "You Lie!" to the president is wasting congressional meeting time with a resolution reprimanding a member for something so insignificant. Let's move on, folks. . .

Joe Wilson is the new Republican leader-guy to watch! Move over, Sarah Palin and Joe the Plumber and all you others! A new crazy-mouthed whack job has howled his way into the conservative spotlight, so he's the leader now, and will he make a presidential run? You betcha!

A Republican just cannot be deluded and loud and rude enough for the conservative base these days.

Let's rename them The Nutsi Party.

Rep. Wilson is a total loser and not worth the effort of censure. House democrats should follow Obama's example and move on. Believe me, Rep. Wilson sank his own career, and you won't be seeing him next term. Let's not make him a martyr for the republican party - he's simply not worth it.

Seriously, Dumbacrats.... booing the President in 1994 was appropriate if you do it in unison.
