I’m betting it was because the mods are not infallible, and miss things sometimes. Yes, even two of them.
I went ahead and reported it. Assuming she isn’t a hypocrite she’ll either retract her complaint, or beg for her own discipline as well.
Inb4 she does neither and demonstrates the blatant hypocrisy her side is known for.
Won’t someone think of the children?!
I don’t moderate this forum, but please, don’t make me think of Carol Stream begging for discipline.
Will Joe Wilson be Sarah Palin’s running mate in 2012?
We’ve already established that booing is not the same as hollering out false accusations. There’s also a significant difference in that previous expressions of dissent have at least been held until natural applause breaks. There is no precedent that I know of for actually interrupting the President while he is speaking. I am certain the Dems never did that to Bush. I shudder to think what kind of blubbering hysterics the political right would be reduced to if anyone ever did that to poor Sarah Palin in any context whatever.
I’ll admit that I last lived in Hillbilly Country four decades ago, but you give them a disservice by assuming that the residents, then or now, are nothing but GWB fellators. When I lived there there was a healthy helping of Wobblies, followers of Mother Jones, and assorted other pinkos. You may be confused because Texas is flat, as politics tends to follow the terrain. Our area was NOT flat, except perhaps to Sherpas, and they had been politicized since before the Civil War.
I assume they are “doing it” already.
HAH! Where’s your brain bleach NOW, motherfuckers?
Is there any way to find out how much Joe Wilson has raised in contributions from his supporters since the speech? My google-fu is too weak to find anything. Thanks.
P.S. Rob Miller is $698,000+. Go, Rob, go!!
Actually, I didn’t know better. My join date may say 1999, but I took a good seven-year hiatus from the boards, and missed that particular rule change.
I won’t do it again, but I’m not even remotely sorry that I did it, especially since it got you all riled up.
Which I agree with. As I saidnear the beginning of the thread, he should be censured.
Carol Stream, you should know better than this. And since you believe every infraction merits a warning or worse, I hope you’ll see the fairness in my issuing you one. Let me make it very clear: Stop junior modding and stop hijacking threads with argmunentative questions about my moderation. You are free to start a thread in atmb, PM me, or e-mail me about these things, but DO NOT DO THIS AGAIN.

Hey, welcome back, Drain Bead.
I’ll take the fact that you’ve dropped this glib line of pseudo-inquiry completely as an admission of, and apology for, your ignorance and wrongheadedness. But hey, you’ll always have “Acorn Socialist He wasn’t even born in America!!!”

Which I agree with. As I saidnear the beginning of the thread, he should be censured.
Yes, we seem to be in agreement. Others appear to be having difficulty with the difference between ‘it would be nice if’, and ‘it is required that’.

Either send to congress or publicly ask for legislation to that effect.
Done. Do I have to wait three years for muh money?
Count me in as another one who didn’t know about the campaigns rule.

:rolleyes: Some seem to be having trouble with the concept that his political stance on UHC has absolutely nothing to do with his apology. It’s not even a ‘would be nice’. It’s completely unconnected.

So he should invade Iraq as a way of making amends for trying to fuck up Obama’s health care speech? You’re a smart one today, Frank.

CNN reports over $200,000.

From your link:
“On these issues, I will not be muzzled, I will speak up and speak loudly against this risky plan,” Wilson said in a YouTube video released Thursday evening. “The supporters of the government takeover of health care and the liberals who want to give health care to illegals are using my opposition as an excuse to distract from the critical questions being raised about this poorly conceived plan.”
So, does that mean he takes back his apology?
