Republican Congressman Joe Wilson's "Liar" Outburst To President Obama Was Not An Accidental Overexcitement, It Was Deliberate.
1) It was ideally delivered with the perfect timing and volume to shock, 2) If it were accidental he would have apologized the second after he did it and saw the room gasped, 3) Both parties go through tremendous preparation for the case and countercase on the issues, no one goes into that forum cold, 4) If a more senior Republican had done it there would have been hell to pay, it's so much more convenient if a junior player does it, 5) He remains obstinate, angry, and inflammatory (claiming people are trying to force silence).

Like this one talking head said on TV, there will be a lot of "firsts" with a Black President. There are still a lot of Americans who do not respect Black people and this includes Obama. This is not surprising to me. He is referred to Hitler on a regular and very public basis.

A simple question: If the outburst wasn't deliberate, how did they get such a good picture of him in the process of saying it? You can see him yelling and pointing his finger right when he was saying it. That seems a bit too coincidental for me, but I guess you could say that it was just the luck of the photographer.

Although I remember reading about some political function that Joe Wilson was at a few days before Obama's speech where he hinted that he would stand up and say something about Obama's health care. I can't remember the article for the life of me, but it was on CNN.com and sounded convincing...

I'm with Finch on this one, I don't see what's so unbelievable about him just being over the top.

I'm not really buying it. He just comes off as an overzealous dufus whose mouth moves faster than his brain to me.
Although he is a lot more famous than he was a week ago, and they say there is no such thing as bad PR these days.

 Then why are the two Republicans seated next to him in the superb photo of his outburst looking straight at the President with screw you looks in their face instead of turning to look at the "dufus" yelling next to them?

I don't think you have presented adequate evidence to make the call.

 Your opinion is valid. You don't address any of my specific points though and now let me add two new: 1) The superb photo of Joe Wilson pointing and yelling his outburst shows two Republicans next to him looking straight forward at the President instead of at his sudden outburst and having a satisfied screw you look in their face. Clearly they were not surprised by his accidental outburst. 2) Witnesses report it was at least the 2nd time he yelled liar during the speech and that in fact is given for the reason the camera was ready to grab such an excellent shot of him when he did it again.

Who cares if it was. Look at all the things the dems called Bush. Includeing Harry Reid calling him a Liar on TV and he didnt say Im sorry.

 It's not the message, it's the forum. I'm all for free speech, but even despite all the anger toward Bush in the Bush years the legislators didn't yell over him during Presidential addresses.
