After the 8 years of W, it is funny to see that in a Democratic thread.

"I have had it with members of your party undermining our troops, undermining a commander in chief while we are at war..."

What in the f*** does this have to do with anything

I am arguing it's wrong to disrespect the president and he's saying that's hypocritical because he thinks by Obama disagree with bush's policies that is disrespecting the president. But my argument is that it's not disrespectful to disgree on policy... but it IS disrespectful to heckle the president because you are heckling the position, not the policy.

He got respect for authority (ie they shook his hand, greated him, listened respectfully), not respect for his crappy ideas.

There were more than a few "Gotcha moments" for Bush. Like when he'd set up one of his straw-men. "Some say we should pull out of Iraq" or something like that, immediately hit by determined applause from the left. Some boos always. Can't remember anything as specific as this one happening though.

His has to do with people acting like disrespecting the President is something new in the last 7.5 months. It is a left wing load of crap. Talk about a propaganda machine.

Ok, find me a Democratic member of Congress that displayed an open act of disrespect towards President Bush (criticizing policies doesn't count) and I will shut up, otherwise just please stop with the tu quoque ad hominem false equivalencies. I expect this type of behavior from "some guy" but I've never seen an elected official do anything like that in the United States. Show me where I'm wrong.

SEC. 246. NO FEDERAL PAYMENT FOR UNDOCUMENTED ALIENS.

Nothing in this subtitle shall allow Federal payments for affordability credits on behalf of individuals who are not lawfully present in the United States.

lol would've made sense to call out President Obama where he is actually lying. just saying.

"Go F*** yourself!"

 

A pretty much elected official on the floor of the senate.

I guess I am the only one who remembers Bush being booed during the state of the union?

I think we're drawing a distinction between simple booing and what went on tonight. I mentioned a few other things you could consider as backup for your side. Is it a distinction without a difference?

I am still trying to determine if I consider booing acceptable or not. It;s kind of the anti-applause. I need to ponder it a bit more.

Booing has been well established for years. No idea when it started, but it was before I ever watched any of these.

I guess I don't understand whatever point you're trying to make. Me, AHB, BigSqwert, Balta, etc. were all present in that joint session of Congress and/or supported people who did that or things like that and/or other things you didn't like so therefore we can't call out Joe Wilson for doing it earlier.
