Okay, I went to the link you provided and it has nothing on Wilson. So why did you provide the link? Again, even if Wilson is the #1 advocate against providing healthcare to illegal immigrants, why does that make him a hypocrite by shouting out "you lie"? It may make him rude but not hypocritical. The only issue after the impropriety of acting like Judy Stein and calling the president a liar is whether the president lied or not. > http://snipurl.com/rt68g [www_politico_com] > > > > > > > ~ Joe Wilson Voted to Provide Taxpayer Money for Illegal Immigrants' > > > Healthcare ~ > > > > > > On Wednesday night, Rep.
