Congressman Joe Wilson: The Psychology Behind “you lie” outburst

 

It’s also possible that trying to make an issue out of none issue, or none existent problem, it’s well documented that illegal aliens are not covered under health care reform, could be an attempt to mask selfishness and use selfishness, and use resentment or hatred towards illegal aliens to attack health care reform by claiming illegal immigrants will receive health care coverage.

 

There are no provisions for illegal immigrants to obtain health care under the current health care reform proposals and this issue is fabricated to use these two emotions or feelings.

 

• Selfishness or Fear: using selfishness or people’s fear of paying for others.
• Resentment: using resentment or hatred towards illegal immigrants, which can also involve racism.

 

And using these two emotions or feelings to attack Health Care Reform.

 

• Selfishness or Fear + Resentment = Attack on Health Care Reform

 

It's the same as the death panels; it's a fabricated issue that also uses fear, to attack health care reform. The Republicans are also becoming famous for using fear and fear-mongering.
