NOW Democrats condemn dissent?

The Democrats need a thicker skin. Yesterday we shared how the Democrats flipped out when parents criticized President Barack H. Obama's speech to school children...even though when President George H.W. Bush did the same thing the Democrats ordered an investigation and hearings over the matter.

It is really driving them nuts that anyone would criticize Obama. They just can't take it.

Now they share their indignant moral outrage over South Carolina Representative Joe Wilson's outburst during Obama's speech saying "you lie" after Obama claimed universal health care would not extend to illegal immigrants. First of all, Joe Wilson is right on the issue. Illegal immigrants get health care now. How will they not when it becomes universal? And if Democrats were serious about it, they would allow a specific exclusion in the legislation (which they won't). Second, he should have showed more restraint and not yelled out during the speech. We're not Brits after all.

But this is the best part. The Democrats are all out there calling Wilson a redneck for his behavior. But as Drudge points out today, the Democrats were not exactly polite to President Bush. This video records Democrats booing and heckling the President of the United States during a State of the Union address.

Democrats, spare us the outrage and hypocrisy. We think Joe Wilson behaved boorishly, but after the way Democrats behave, they have no place to criticize.
