The cruelty is the point.

1. Ooze, maybe those people could use some help instead of your scorn.

[Nevilledog]

Man in crowd at rally: “Tell me a little about …”

*Dr. Oz straps a blood pressure band on his arm as the crowd laughs*

20. If "you can't go there"

How does he even know?

[Probatim]

3. Ozholes gonna Oz.

[Aristus]

4. Of for the love of God, you asshole, go straight to Hell for that awful, awful horseshit.

I would take any one of my homeless patients over a hundred people like you, OZhole!

To show such utter lack of compassion for people who are suffering. Well, I guess he and the GOP are a good fit, that's all...

9. He's really evil

Oz, continuing to raise questions about Fetterman's health while begging for a #PASen debate next week, offers (tongue-in-cheek?) "concessions."

"We will pay for any additional medical personnel he might need to have on standby," reads one.

17. These people are pure scum.

It made me sick to read this. No hearts or souls.

[panader0]

21. Pure projection.

[sop]

5. Thanks, Oprah.

[LakeArenal]

10. Also Dr Phil, Oprah.

[panader0]

22. Why won't Oprah issue a statement about Oz?

[Cracklin Charlie]

6. Dude is a weirdo.

Maybe he’s the zombie.

[BlueTsunami2018]

7. In fairness, I see those zombies every day.

He’s not completely wrong. The heroin problem is out of control in this city. I take the subway to work every day and there isn’t a single day that goes by that I don’t see someone shooting up or dipped out, usually multiples. Mostly young people, filthy, covered in sores, drooling all over the place, it’s repulsive.

We tried to set up a safe injection site and a place to help people get off the needle but the neighbors went crazy and wouldn’t have it. So instead of a safe place for them to go, we have them wandering the streets, robbing cars, looting Walgreens and Rite Aid and generally being a public nuisance and safety hazard. And the neighbors all complain about that too.

It’s not the usual homeless situation. Not all the homeless are junkies but a good portion of them are.

13. The radicalized Republican party criminalizes health care problems.

Roe, Roe, Roe your vote
against theocracy!
Republicans revoke your rights

14. I wont defend what he said but we as Democrats need to have a better message on the homeless problem

We cant be silent and we cant be too loose.

[Nevilledog]

15. You're calling unhoused human beings who have addictions "zombies"? Really?

What name do you call the neighbors who aren't allowing help for these people?

[Efilroft Sul]

8. Dr. 10-House punching down. So much for doing no harm.

[keithbvadu2]

11. Oz. You can invent a magic pill to fix the problem.

Oz. You can invent a magic pill to fix the problem.

Advertise it on tv.

[LakeArenal]

12. Got any left?

[keithbvadu2]

16. The pills are easy. It's the marketing that he has to make sure is right.

19. A quote from Simpsons.

23. Dr Nick?

[LakeArenal]

28. More like tv infomercial that told Homer he needed to order before it was too late.

He rushed to phone and asked it.

[Emile]

18. At least the homeless are not pretending to be doctors.

What a phony SOB!

[sarcasmo]

24. Dr. Oooze is beyond pretentious. Fetterman will win by +20.

[IcyPeas]

25. who are those people in the audience there?

they look like a daytime television audience. he's another trump with a built in voter base of reality tv fans.

[Goodheart]

26. We can't say "homeless" any more? Now it has to be "unhoused"?

Some of this gets silly.

[Nevilledog]

27. Seems like no one stopped you from calling them homeless.

I prefer unhoused, it's just less dehumanizing.

You do you, but I think it's silly that you think someone is forcing you to use or not use a word.

[Luz]

31. I live in a van..I'm neither homeless or unhoused. I prefer

to call myself a wanderer

[Goodheart]

32. Reminds me of a movie.

I wouldn't hate that lifestyle.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

34. What's silly about it? People make homes in all sorts of places without houses.

[Deep State Witch]

29. Maybe

He should house them in one of his mansions? I mean, how many properties does he own?

[Tree-Hugger]

30. The last guy to insult Philly....

....didn't do so well. Ask your pal, Donnie T about "bad things happen in Philadelphia." Philly dealt his final blow in his 2020 election. You have no chance, Ooze.

We're aware we have a problem - especially in Kensington ( that's not downtown, kid) - with addiction in this city. No matterbwhat you say, these are still human beings. "Zombies" is a term used primarily by people who believe the addicts should be rounded up and killed......anything to dehumanize them, so you don't have to face the reality that people like you fight tooth and nail against programs that provide shelter, medical care, addiction treatment, narcan, safe injection sites, etc. Places like Kensington highlight the disease of addiction, but they are a symptom of anlarger problem created by GOP policies. I watched heartkess fucks like you drive round and round the block in Kensington, filming everyone on the street for YouTube videos, which they monetize. All for people to sit in the comments and wish harm on these people. So, fuck you and your ilk. As a doctor, you should know that addiction and homelessness come with multiple layers and it's not just as simple as "zombies with needles in their necks." As usual, you can't provide solutions.....you just throw insults at a situation you don't understand in a ciry you know nothing about in a state you barely recognize because you don't even live here.

FAFO about Philly, son.

[tenderfoot]

33. Then he should be compared to Dr. Mengele
