FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
September 10, 2009
TNDP Chair Calls On
Republicans To Condemn Wilson Outburst
NASHVILLE - Tennessee Democratic Party Chairman Chip
Forrester wants to know if the state's Republican Congressional House
delegation agrees with fellow House member Congressman Joe Wilson who called
the president a liar during a speech before Congress on Wednesday night.
"Calling the president a liar on national television while
he is addressing a serious issue is typical behavior for the far-right fringe,"
Forrester said. "The adults in the room want to have a rational, civil debate
about health-care reform while the undisciplined juveniles want to throw a
temper tantrum.
"The president plainly laid out what he wanted in
health-care reform, and it contained reforms supported by both Republicans and
Democrats. Despite that, you still have some obviously bent on stopping any
change in how health care is delivered in America."
Wilson of South Carolina shouted, "You lie" when
President Obama denied that proposed health-care legislation would provide free
health coverage for illegal immigrants. Obama also dispelled allegations that
proposed legislation contained government-funded abortions and "death panels"
charged with denying senior citizens health care.
Forrester called on U.S. Reps. Phil Roe, Zach Wamp, John
Duncan and Marsha Blackburn to condemn publicly the South Carolina
congressman's outburst.
"This country faces real problems, and we need serious,
deliberative leaders to address them. Not a bunch of hotheads who only want to
stop the debate because of purely partisan politics," Forrester said.
"This is not a game. Health-care costs are spiraling out of
control and could be a detriment to future economic gains in this country. Both
sides of the aisle need to stop bickering, roll up their sleeves and resolve
this problem now.
"Tennesseans should also call on neoconservative political
pundits like Steve Gill, Phil Valentine and Michael DelGiorno to stop their
inflammatory rhetoric, as well. Scaring people into irrational thought and
behavior is a dangerous game with serious consequences," he added.
