    Well, now that Rep Joe Wilson has apologized to Obama for saying that he lied - when will Obama apologize to the nation for lying to us?

    I started to say it could be Tourette's Syndrome. But on reflection I think he suffers from being a democrat? So don't be too hard on him Bro. Curtis. He has a terrible cross to bear!:praying:

    Absolutely not. The Congressman's actions are classic TS. Dead on topic.

    Speaking of outbursts...

    One time my wife and I were singing in church a MidSouth boys song, "That's my child". It's a song about God looking down from Heaven and being proud of his children... saying to the angels... "That's my child"..

    Well, we are on the last chorus of the song, and my son, then about 18 months old has wandered to the front of the church and is standing there waiting for us to finish..

    As we finish, he yells, so the whole church can hear him... "I'VE GOTTA GO PEE PEE!!!"

    What could I say.. except ...."that's my child" LOL

    When hell freezes over or when Gore admits global warming is a hoax to make him rich.

    Baloney. I asked you to point to the target of my bigotry days ago. You refused. You are the king of insults, then you cry when the shoe is on the other foot. You are the biggest hypocrite when it comes to treatment, here. I don't think you have the thick skin required to be here.

    Why don't you point out some of these questions I haven't answered. I'd be glad to do the same for you.

    You really DON'T read very well do you? I do have it, and so does one of my children. But it is irrelevant, as it has nothing to do with curtis' nasty accusations.

    So every person who has outbursts has touretts? Just because you want to turn this into what it is not does not mean it is on topic. Your entire claim is dubious.

    Not even close.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tourette_syndrome

    Joe Wilson just said what everyone else was thinking but not saying.

    Did you look at Joe Biden's response? He hung his head as if to say, "Dang, someone called him on it !"

    I don't care what you doubt. Typical of you. I will agree if you show me where I said every outburst is TS. This happens to be a condition near and dear to me. Your lack of compassion is typical of you, however.

    I live in a log cabin. Better to insult than to deal with the legit criticism. Kinda cowardly.

    What is it with libbies and playing the victim. There is no victim here and there has been no need for compassion as no one spoken of has it to include the congressman.

    Reid did not shout out that Bush was a liar from the floor and on national television. This has never been done before in the history of our country until now. Additionally Wilson has brought forth nothing to show he himself was telling the truth. Now that his hand has been called his should either put up or apologize.

    Bush was shown more respect.

    Wilson has apologized.

    Now you are truly showing your ignorance. I have studied this condition and dealt with it for 40 plus years. From HERE:

    The documentary features the youngsters going about their daily lives, doing all the things regular kids do. It shows that some can also have problems with impulse control, e.g., tantrums, verbal outbursts, or obsessive, unusual behaviors. Though medication can help control TS, there is no cure.

    I suggest you learn about TS before becoming an expert.

    This is why I will never call you Rev. You have no reverence. Where did I say anyone was a victim. But your attitude is dismissive of those who do suffer with this condition every waking moment of their lives.

    I hold a degree in psychology and have had experience in the field.

    Shouting "You lie" does not constitute a "verbal outburst", nor does it constitute a "tantrum", "obsessive" or "unusual behavior".

    No, I said so myself. However, given the venue, I would have to consider it. It would take a more extensive family history to know.
