Congressman Joe Wilson received an award from the American Conservative Union in recognition of his commitment to Americas core principles and outstanding conservative score in the 2008 ACU Annual Ratings of Congress based on votes for the rule of law, lower taxes, limited government, fiscal discipline, and individual liberty.
Yes, djamo, the Left always gets a pass because it always operates under special circumstances: Teddy Kennedy's "Macaca" gaffe, Helen Thomas's anti-Semitism, Harry Reid's "Negro dialect" comment, Cokie Roberts wishing AIDS on Rush Limbaugh, Chris ("I forgot he's black...") Matthews, or Jesse Jackson muttering that he wanted to cut Obama's nuts off... All would result in a conservative being run out of town on a rail, but the mainstream media went deaf and blind. Apples and oranges indeed...

@hookalakah : Typical conservative response, comparing apples to oranges. No wonder you people do not believe in science; because you are so bad at it. Muttering something in a closed door meeting is far different than shouting something disrespectful in front of millions of viewers on live TV. How can you even make the comparison?

Everyone who got so bent out of shape at Wilson must surely be hopping mad at the unidentified Democratic lawmaker who muttered, "Fuck the president," at a closed door Dem session on Dec. 9, 2010. We're all cupping our ears and waiting for the roar of outrage, followed by whining, pleading calls for "civil discourse" from liberal pundits and the mainstream media. Haven't heard it yet..

Really now? He's a patriot for insulting the President of the United States in front of the congress? I guess I'll never understand how patriotism works in the USA.

This guy has already had his 15 minutes of fame. Enough already! Send this guy back to the obscurity he once enjoyed but for his disrespectful and inappropriate comments.

Clinton handed Bush a $500B surplus and took that and turned it into a $1.7 Trn deficit. He also raised our national debt by $5Tn. Nevermind that we are now feeling the effects of this but the radical right are worried about illegals now? It was Bush, et al who wanted them in so that his wealthy cronies paid for cheaper labor while they took the money back to Mexico. They simple don't care about Americans, our country or our troops. It' all about them & what they can get out of it.

"Where the hell you guys have been during the past decades when Bush and his GOP clowns were bringing this great country down?"
All the crazy people think the same way as the Bush Regime. They also have a selective memory.

Speaking of Thurmond, Wilson denounced as a smear the true claim of a black woman that she was the daughter of Strom Thurmond. The right' shrieking lunacy & their frantic efforts to label our first black president as the Other, a foreigner, socialist, fascist, Marxist, racist, Commie, Nazi; a cad who would snuff old people; a snake who would indoctrinate kids — had much to do with race. That' obvious.
