We at the Objective Conservative have deliberated over this for a couple of days now. In order to be objective, we asked ourselves would we have given some Democrat the Hall of Shame Award had he called George Bush a liar in the same situation. Yes, in fairness, we would have. So we 'honor' Joe Wilson with our award, not because he is racist and certainly not because he was wrong in calling Commissar Barack Hussein Obama a liar (we'll call the White House and apologize later) but because of his choice of the location he did so in.

Joe Wilson Shares September Objective Conservative Hall of Shame Award

While I admire those who strive for philosophical consistency, I would remind you that we should always guard against allowing the perfect to become the enemy of the good. Blindly insisting on adherence to rules that sometimes, if not often, defy common sense is just another form of fascism.
A long time ago George Bernard Shaw noted that:
"The reasonable man adapts himself to the conditions that surround him... The unreasonable man adapts surrounding conditions to himself; therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man."
Joe Wilson is, to me, a VERY welcome "unreasonable man" ... we need more like him.
I enjoy your blog.

I agree we need more like him and the polls think He was right countering the distorted statements that Obama was making.
