SUMMARY: Conservative media have recently rushed to defend Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) by criticizing a resolution by House Democrats that formally reprimands Wilson for shouting "you lie" at President Obama during his recent address before Congress. Their defenses have ranged from claiming that the House resolution is a "stunt," to suggesting Democrats are engaging in hypocrisy by reprimanding Wilson, to echoing Republican National Committee (RNC) talking points that the House should also reprimand Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-NY) for their previous statements and alleged actions.
