News Rep. Joe Wilson and CNN: putting the 'me' in meme
Posted by Andisheh Nouraee on Thu, Sep 10, 2009 at 5:17 PM
Hey, mom, check it out.
I'm on CNN.com.
And I didn't even have to rape and murder a woman in 1990 to do it!
In a story about the online reaction to Rep. Joe Wilson's (a.k.a. Joe The Dumber) anti-Obama outburst last night, CNN.com's Saeed Ahmed quotes my Twitter feed.
"If he's the face of the GOP, we'll have public option by Columbus Day!" wrote Andisheh Nouraee, a columnist for Creative Loafing, an alternative weekly in Atlanta, Georgia

I guess Democrats can file copyright infringement claims. After 8 years of calling Bush a liar you would think they'd have ownership of the word. Folks this is straight up hypocrisy coming from both mainstream parties. Let me get a couple things straight about our great 2 party system leaders? a) obama did stretch the truth about public option not being government subsidized, illegal aliens not being covered (they currently already are) b)bush stretched the truth about WMD, Iraq, etc, etc...
Travis: People died from Bush "stretching the truth" Let's not pretend those two situations your presented are comparable in any stretch of the imagination
Roxie - people will die if we nationalize healthcare, probably in larger numbers than our soldiers.
Dale that is TBD. The deaths in Iraq and people my age coming back all fucked up from a completely unjust war is a fact. Another fact, people are dying by the thousands every year because of the way healthcare is set up now. Could it really get any worse?
Travis, please remind us - preferably, with URLs - of a single time that a Democratic congresscritter or senator screamed "YOU LIE" during one of Duh-bya's speeches to Congress. You can't, because it didn't happen, so your strawman just blew away.
