Are we really still talking about Congressman Joe Wilson?
Critics (on the left, surprise surprise) of his outburst last week would now have us all believe that they can read Wilson's mind. Of course their conclusion is that his outcry was motivated by racism. There is of course no evidence of that, but that's never stopped them (lefties) from similar smears before.
To get to the bottom of this incredibly important issue I've watched the clip numerous times. I listed all the pertinent facts. I come to a different conclusion. Let's see if you agree.
Fact 1- Congressman Wilson yelled out the words "You lie" at Pres. Obama (he's black you know) during his speech last week.
Fact 2- He did so immediately after the president had inarguably told a clear lie about a controversial subject.
After careful consideration, and in the spirit of giving the benefit of the doubt, I'm going to presume that Wilson was more annoyed by the president's lie than he was his race.
Now, in the spirit of judging people by their own standards I must conclude that every time the liberals leapt to their feet to give Obama a standing ovation, they were doing so not because they were reacting to what he had just said, but because he's black.

I do have a life away from this computer, and don't wish to spend what time I do have lingering on one topic. There's too much going on. Sincere questions will be answered. Questions designed to simply be the starting point for argument may be considered rhetorical.
