rage 1- riie News Argiis Opinion Tuesday, October 6, 2009 VV'VA’W. t lie newsargus. com Always Watching TIFFANY GIBSON Editor In Chief Does civility exist anymore? We all know the stories. Joe Wilson, GOP congressman from South Carolina shouted out during President Obama's health care address to Congress. Tennis pro Serena Williams displayed unsportsmanlike conduct during a match with unkind remarks to the lineswoman. Rapper Kanye West interrupted Taylor Swift's acceptance speech during the MTV Video Music Awards. Following his outburst, Wilson's personal website was shut down because it received so many responses, most of them positive. Congressman Wilson disrespected Obama, the leader of our country, and some people are okay with that? Many say Williams' outburst was warranted because the call by the line judge was wrong. Wrong or right does not mean Williams should abandon self- restraint. Others said West was telling the truth when he said Beyonce's video Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It) is better than Taylor Swift's You Belong With Me. The actions of Wilson and West have also been compared. NOT. These two incidents should not be ranked in the same category. "It's ludicrous to compare Kanye's outburst with that of Wilson's," said the Rev. A1 Sharpton on the Tom loyner Morning Slum. "West is elected by no one, representing no one and talking about nothing. He will not be sitting at the table making a decision about health care," Sharpton said. To Wilson, West and Williams I say there is a time and place for everything. Show some restraint. Show some respect. Show some class, if you still have some. u H{jNC 'Hfnmi US5,MEAC Vo'te/ L -^Diost 760^16.10/06/09 As a matter of policy, The News Argus will publish corrections of errors and clarifications in fact that have been published in the newspaper.
