Protesting Joe Wilson, Black Newspaper Publishers cancel conference in South Carolina. (Video)

Full story: eurweb.com

*In response to Rep. Joe Wilson and his "You Lie!" outburst during President Barack Obama's health care address to a joint session Wednesday night, at least one group has decided to make the congressman's entire state pay the price. "The National Newspaper Publisher’s Association (NNPA) announced in a press release Thursday that it will not hold its January 2010 mid-winter conference in South Carolina, and is joining the NAACP economic boycott of the state that has been in effect since July 1999 when the South Carolina NAACP called for it as a protest of the flag atop the State House and inside the House and Senate chambers. “As African-American newspaper publishers we stand in solidarity with the NAACP and fully support the economic boycott of South Carolina,” stated NNPA Chairman Danny J. Bakewell Sr. “Rep. Wilson’s remarks were racist, disrespectful, and a disingenuous violation--not only of President Obama--but to the institution of the presidency and only solidified our position and the importance in not spending Black dollars where Black people are not respected. Additionally, MSNBC's Keith Olberman has done an absolutely stunning commentary on Joe Wilson and the Republican's blatant stupidity and veiled racism towards President Obama. If you haven't seen it, don't waith a minute longer. Click over and WATCH its brilliance and read the rest of this post.

What exactly did he lie about? All of the factual evidence supports everything that he stated in his speech.

Recently overheard at the white house:

Emanuel: Knock, knock.
Obama: Who's there?
Emanuel: Kenya.
Obama: Kenya who?
Emanuel: Kenya show me a birth certificate?

Obama: Not funny, Rahm.

RTFitteenFitty,

You obviously are unclear on the concept of "factual" evidence. Obama's entire life is a web of lies and deceit. To willfully dismiss the truth that is known about him and sing his praise is either racist or stupid. So, which one is it for you?

The legality of those who apply for health care benefits would not be allowed to be verified under the current bills offered in Congress. If there isn't any verification, that's the unseen path to allow health care benefits for illegals.

It's not what is said in the bills that is a big Lie, but what is not said.

"Early last month, the U.S. House Ways and Means Committee defeated an amendment which would have excluded illegal aliens from Obama’s totalitarian health care bill. The Democrat-dominated committee voted 23-18 to defeat the measure introduced by Rep. Dean Heller (R-NV), which would have required the use of the existing Income and Eligibility Verification System and the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements System before care is dispensed.

In other words, there would be no way to verify the citizenship of those seeking care under Obama’s government plan.

CNN reported last month the Congressional Research Service, the nonpartisan policy research arm of Congress, found that without a citizenship verification system illegal aliens would receive subsidies. Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Washington-based Center for Immigration Studies, told CNN the report “undermines the claims of the president and others that illegal immigrants would not be covered under the House version of the bill.”

“Democrats can keep claiming all they want that illegal immigrants will not be covered in this bill. But their actions speak louder than their words. Democrats have rejected opportunities to close the gaping loopholes in this health care bill that will allow illegal immigrants to participate,” House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Lamar Smith said after the CRS report was released.“If President Obama is committed to ensuring that illegal immigrants do not benefit from the bill – as he says he is – why not include the same verification mechanisms in this bill as already exist for other federal benefits programs?”

In addition, undocumented immigrants who live in the United States for a certain period of time during the year would be classified as residents and would meet the substantial presence test required under HR 3200 to have health insurance, according to the report."

what the liberals and Dems fail to tell you is that the United States is bound by the U.S.

Constitution to provide medical care to citizens and non-citizens alike should the Federal Government of the United States mandate and manage health care. According to the U.S. Constitution, if one class of people are to receive benefits under Federal law, then all classes of people, REGARDLESS OF CITIZENSHIP, are required to receive fair and equitable treatment. This goes for health care and anything else.
The U.S. Constitution does not allow the Federal Government to discriminate on the basis of citizenship, and Obama ~ being a Constitutional Lawyer ~ KNOWS THIS.
Further identifying SEC. 246 as a smokescreen is the fact that it is, in itself, unconstitutional and therefore MUST be removed or reworded ***IF*** it is to mean that "no illegals can receive health care", but that's not what SEC. 246 actually says!
Rather, it simply states that no illegals can receive "credits" to BUY health insurance. Nothing more. Well, if illegals can't receive "credit" to "buy" health insurance, then I guess they'll just get their medical care for free courtesy of us taxpayers.
Adding insult to injury, another section of HR3200 that is rarely, if ever, cited by liberals is this:
--- SEC. 152. PROHIBITING DISCRIMINATION IN HEALTH CARE
(a) In General.Except as otherwise explicitly permitted by this Act and by subsequent regulations consistent with this Act, all health care and related services (including insurance coverage and public health activities) covered by this Act shall be provided without regard to personal characteristics extraneous to the provision of high quality health care or related services.---
So, liberals. I guess the "wing nuts" aren't engaging in the act of spreading "malicious rumors" after all. Perhaps Sen. Joe Wilson was correct when he blurted, "You Lie!" to Mr. Obama....because it appears that Mr. Obama did, in fact, LIE.

No he was not lying. I was watching CNN or one of those other news stations and they said that they checked into it after this incident of disrespect to Obama and everyone came to the conclusion that Obama was telling the truth. That's why that fool had to apologize. I can see him now with his tail tucked between his ass and those big assed ears drooping like a damn dog acting bashful.

I am sick and tired of people shouting racist everytime someone disagrees with Obama. The president should put an end to this n onsense. He won't because obviously this works for him...or so he thinks. The Dems want illegals here to vote...they won't admit that.

Well we see how much good it did for Color of Change to pull their boycott bull on Glenn Beck. His ratings are shooting through the roof! The truth always prevails!

Thank you Mr. Wilson for speaking the truth!
