If John Stossel had a conscience he would be considering suicide right now.

[11 Bravo]

This miserable "free-market-trumps-everything" motherfucker had the total lack of human decency to ridicule widow Julie Pierce for appearing in Michael Moore's "Sicko" and pointing out how her insurance company's refusal to pay for her husband's treatment contributed to his death. Well guess what, Stossel, she just jumped squarely in your shit!
It is one of the most incisive yet heart-rending things you will ever read.

1. He's a walking, talking turd. Not even a human turd at that. nt

[SpiralHawk]

15. Stossel is just another right wing republicon homelander fascist propagandist

no cred

[YOY]

2. Stossel is a d***

Has been one for years. Anyone who still rails that there is a liberal media like he does needs to be stomped in the balls...repeatedly.

[madrchsod]

3. well ------->how about this gem from 1984

http://www.ifilm.com/video/2757542

:applause: :applause: :applause:

[Ilsa]

4. I'm almost ashamed to admit that I enjoyed that. Thanks. nt

[Tyler Durden]

10. I'M not ashamed!

I laughed my ass off, and so did my boss.

[11 Bravo]

11. Nor am I!

My only issue with that video was that it didn't zoom in on the floor after Stossel beat feet. Brown stain or yellow puddle? Inquiring minds want to know.

[progressoid]

24. Yeah...almost.

:applause: :toast:

[Beausoir]

6. OMG! I laughed! Look at the little chickenhawk run!

And the wrestler says "That all you got?!!!".

Priceless.

[liberal N proud]

7. I know we shouldn't laugh at others peoples misery

But, I just couldn't help myself when it came to that weasel.


:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[ArbustoBuster]

27. Feeling bad about laughing at other people's misery would require Stossel to be "people".

I'm pretty sure he's some kind of bacterium. :)

[Tyler Durden]

8. Can I send money to "Dr. D" Schultz to help cover the cost of the suit?

It was worth paying for just to watch.

[JHB]

18. My only regret for those slaps...

...is that they may have been what turned Stossel into the sock puppet he is today. He used to be a pretty decent consumer reporter (that was part of the reason he was "exposing" the phoneyness of pro-wrestling in that report).

Can't help but think he went home from that thinking "fuck this, there has to be an easier way to make money." Lo and behold, there was.

Anyway, that's just my take. Maybe someone can point to a source that says for sure.

[zbdent]

23. Dr. D. didn't hit him hard enough ...

and don't forget, Stossel sued the guy, and cost him his job ... and got big $$$ for his idiocy ...

[Clintonista2]

30. You owe me a new glass of milk

The one I was previousley holding just came up my nose.

[Dhalgren]

5. I loathe John Stossel and his porno-mustache. He is slime and beneath

contempt. I refuse to watch any program on which he appears - I just won't...

[AikidoSoul]

28. I don't often use the word "hate"

but I do hate that corporate suck-up. Always have. He's a paid coporate shill/ liar who should rot in hell for all the damage he's done. I think he's worse than Limbaugh and O'Reilly as far as damage done.

[Supersedeas]

9. and paid shill -- disseminated to do the bidding of Corp. fat cats

[defendandprotect]

12. Why does anyone watch this garbage -- ????? Why do you tune in?????

It's been obvious from day one that Stossel is a joke.
You can decide that for yourselves without having to see 50 more of us here say so --
Turn it off --

Turn it all off --

[Jim__]

13. Who the fuck does this guy think he is?

Stoessel claims the bone marrow transplant would not have saved Tracy's life: I just read your Wall Street Journal article written on Sept. 13, 2007, titled “Sick Sob Stories.” You begin by talking about Tracy’s role in ‘SiCKO,’ and claim the bone marrow transplant denied by our insurer would not have saved him.

But according to Tracy's doctors:

If you had contacted me, I would have told you that bone marrow transplants became a last option, only after our insurer denied many other treatments again and again and again.



I would have shown you a letter from our doctors at the Blood and Marrow Transplant Program at the University of Kansas Hospital, in which they argued strongly for the bone marrow transplant, citing “strong evidence” supporting the past success of that treatment — they wrote that it could “give him a chance to achieve complete remission.” In fact, they called the bone marrow transplant “his only chance of survival.”

I guess when you're a free-market guru, you just know everything there is to know.

[Bake]

14. Conscience? How about if he had a BRAIN?

What a total tool and waste of oxygen Stossel is.

Bake

[Deja Q]

16. Free market? How long before insurance companies deny everyone coverage, for as little as a

bent toenail?

Then how will they get their revenue?

It's a business like any other. Sometimes they have to take hits.

[democrank]

17. I could bite a nail in half.

John Stossel? An expert on....what? Ridiculing the less fortunate? Go to hell, Stossel.

[underpants]

19. FAIR's reports on Stossel

[PA Democrat]

20. John Stossel, may your every medical claim be denied due to a "preexisting condition",

may your every cure for illness be deemed "experimental", may your choice of doctor be "out of network", may your sanctimonious ASS get a taste of your own medicine.

I hate that guy.

[John Q. Citizen]

21. Thanks for the link to the letter. It's spot on. n/t

[Sabriel]

22. Here's one response to her letter from the site:

"I am working on a documentary about John Stossel, it’s called Dicko."

-GSD

Pretty much nails it.

[nini]

29. LOL

*snort* - why can't I think of stuff like that?

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

25. He's an asshole.

This is hardly surprising. I have no idea what the hell happened to him, but he didn't used to be like this.

[gratuitous]

26. If Stossel lived in the sort of Libertarian paradise he advocates

Stossel would be the fat boy who dances when the tough gunslinger shoots at his feet.
