Alan Grayson and Joe Wilson Both Have a Right to Say What They Think

In this case "what's good for the goose is not good for the gander". Both Joe Wilson and Alan Grayson had the right to speak their minds. Two wrongs will not make a right here and the fact that Joe Wison was punished is regrettable, but this political correctness should not continue. Our representatives must be free to speak their minds on the floor of Congress. Its rare that we find out what they are really thinking with all the political correctness going around and outburst such as Wilson's and Grayson's at least tell us where they are coming from. Any existing rules limited the tone of ones statements in the hall of congress should be suspended. Let the American people here the unvarnished truth without the pretty PC frills.

Republican leaders on Thursday called on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to "rein in" Florida Rep. Alan Grayson after he said Republicans want Americans to "die quickly" if they get sick and compared the health care crisis to a holocaust.

"I think it's time for the Democratic leaders and the speaker of the House herself to rein in the rhetoric that she decried just several weeks ago," House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, said.

"And if he's not going to apologize to the American people and to Republicans as he should, really, that's the Democratic leadership's responsibility to have a conversation with their own member," Boehner added.

Grayson's remarks inflamed an already divisive national debate on health care reform, the rhetoric of which has included Nazi symbols, charges of planned death panels and disruptive protests at town hall meetings hosted by lawmakers.

"We ought to be able to have an honest, calm debate about health care ...without disparaging each other," White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said Thursday, commenting on the latest developments.

House Republicans, seeking payback after Democrats succeeded in voting to reprimand South Carolina Rep. Joe Wilson last month for shouting "You Life!" at President Obama during his address to Congress, are planning to introduce a resolution of disapproval for Grayson's remarks.

A spokesman for Rep. Tom Price, R-Ga, who prepared the resolution, said he would not introduce it Thursday.

"Mr. Grayson's actions on the floor were an embarrassment to this Congress and warrant an apology both to his colleagues and, more importantly, to the people of his district who he insulted on the House floor," Price's spokesman, Brendan Buck, said in a written statement.

"It is the job of the Speaker to ensure the House runs with proper decorum, and we would hope that she would not tolerate such behavior," he added.

The Rise of Rampant Runaway Racism

Joe Wilson joined what is becoming a very, very long list of white racist who oppose the agenda of Barack Obama. At the present rate of growth this list is expected to include some 85% of all white people living in the United States by the end of 2010. Wilson like many on the list was added shortly after his outburst during a campaign speech by BHO while addressing a joint session of Congress where Wilson shouted out "you lie". Wilson, at first apologized to Barry, but when pushed by the speaker of the house Nancy Pelosi to give the apology on the floor of the House Wilson refused. This sealed his fate and he name was added to that long and growing list of awful white racist. Barry however, remained above the fray as always, claiming he didn't think the remark was racist; while at the same time refusing to condemn those who labeled Wilson as a racist. Barry loves to have it both ways. After all he is neither white or black or perhaps he is both!

Historical note: Taxes always increase during a Democratic administration and amazingly the number of homeless always drops during the first 24 hours after the inauguration of a Democratic president. We can now add racism as something that goes and comes with the changing of the guard at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, with this current administration being by far the best example of an emerging pattern.

Black Publishers Cry Racism Over Wilson Outburst, Join Boycott of South Carolina
A group of black publishers has canceled a planned January conference in South Carolina where Rep. Joe Wilson is a representative and joined an economic boycott of the state started by the state NAACP in protest of the confederate flag flying from the State House grounds.

A group of black newspaper publishers on Friday charged Republican Rep. Joe Wilson with racism for yelling, "You lie," at President Obama during his nationally televised address to a joint session of Congress.

The National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA) has canceled a planned January conference in South Carolina, where Wilson is a representative, and joined an economic boycott of the Palmetto State started 10 years ago by the state NAACP in protest of the confederate flag waving from the Statehouse grounds.

Wilson shouted his accusation Wednesday night in response to Obama saying that his health care reform plan would not cover illegal immigrants. Wilson, who drew sharp criticism from both sides of the political fence for the breach in decorum, immediately apologized to Obama and the president accepted. But House Democrats are pressing Wilson to apologize on the House floor or face disciplinary action.

The latest fallout from Wilson's outburst, however, is the first time race has been injected into the controversy. read full story from FOX New
