Did Joe Wilson vote to give healthcare to illegal aliens in 2003? (Donny Shaw, Sunlight) - 09/19/09
... by Obama supporters to smear Joe Wilson for his "You lie!" outburst during a recent Obama speech. While that campaign rages on even today, here's a recent flashback to Sep. 11. Donny Shaw [1] offered "Joe Wilson Voted to Provide Taxpayer Money for Illegal Immigrants' Healthcare" [2]:
Rep. Luis Gutierrez wants illegal aliens in healthcare exchange; emulate Blue Dogs for amnesty - 09/15/09
Rep. Luis Gutierrez - a buffoonish fervent supporter of illegal immigration - recently spoke out in favor of allowing illegal aliens into the Obama healthcare "exchange". Per ABC News (link), speaking in Spanish at a Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute function, he said:
E.J. Dionne sells Obamacare for illegal aliens - 09/15/09
... Washington Post writes of the Joe Wilson "You lie!" outburst and the topic of illegal aliens being covered under Obama healthcare (link). In this bit he lets you know that he's just a disingenuous hack whose opinions can't be trusted:
For the record, Wilson's premise is itself untrue: The framers of the various Democratic health-care bills did all they could to make sure their proposals wouldn't...
FactCheck furiously spins healthcare coverage for illegal aliens; Obama still right! - 09/11/09

Jordan Fabian of The Hill implies Obama opponent might be drug addict - 09/10/09
What do we call it when a reporter - in this case Jordan Fabian of The Hill - implies that one of Barack Obama's opponents might be a drug addict? At the least I'll call it extremely sleazy; I'll leave other terms up to you:

Angie Drobnic Holan of Politifact misleads about healthcare reform bill covering illegal aliens - 09/10/09
... Drobnic Holan of Politifact offers "Joe Wilson of South Carolina said Obama lied, but he didn't" [1] about Obama's claim that illegal aliens wouldn't get benefits under Obama healthcare. It follows the stock Politfact template: admit that Obama's opponents might have a point, but then punt and side with Obama. See this for links to why they're misleading, and see also this:

... features Obama being heckled by Rep. Joe Wilson of South Carolina, who shouts out to Obama "you lie!" when, well, Obama lies about illegal aliens being able to get coverage. Unfortunately, Wilson has now apologized:
