The time for tolerating this type of inappropriate, outrageous nonsense is over. If the GOP truly wants a bipartisan effort on health care or anything else for that matter, whoever yelled this needs to go. There is no justifying it. it's the icing on the cake of Joe Wilson's puke up at Obama, the slurs against Joseph Lewis, and all the Marxist, Socialist drivel spewed out. Get rid of this turd. Anything short of it condones the behavior. The time for suffering fools is history.

Booing the president? Bush was about as bad as presidents get, but I don't remember the opposition openly booing him in the house chambers. These republicans bring disgrace upon themselves regularly, and republican voters don't seem to care.

You're not that stupid to realize what we're getting at here. It's one thing to have a position on the issue. It's an entirely different thing to yell baby killer in the House of Representatives on global television during one of the most important votes in the nation's history. Whoever this is needs to be sacrificed to show this will not be tolerated again. No more yelling nigger at Joseph Lewis, no more yelling you lie at Obama, no more spitting, no more Hitler, no more of any of this sh!t. The extreme rhetoric has got to stop. Step up, because if you don't, that means you yelled it, too.

Originally Posted By Mr X As Passholder mentioned Doug, go ahead and offer up some comparable examples of Democrats calling the President a liar, spitting on Republicans, calling them things like Nigger or Faggot...then we can talk. Since you can't, it's all about degrees.
Originally Posted By SuperDry Let me think of just a few examples: - "You lie!" said directly to the President by a Republican US Congressman during a joint session of Congress. - "Baby Killer!" said directly to a Democratic colleague by a Republican US Congressman on the floor of the House while in session. DouglasDubh or anyone else: please provide examples of equivalently outrageous and disrespectful behavior by Democratic members of the House in recent years.
