I hate John Stossel because...(finish sentence please)
Edited on Sun Jun-22-08 06:08 PM by NNguyenMD
He's a corporate hack, and his smear piece on the movie "Sicko" made me want to vomit. How can this fucker compare lasik surgery and having a sore throat to getting treatment for FREAKING CANCER!!!!

He pushes competition and choice as if getting health care for a horrible life threatening disease is akin to shopping for a nice sedan. He's a motherfucking tool, and watching him on TV almost makes me as angry as seeing the chimp. I am so sickened by assholes like him who spout lie after lie while the sick get sicker and the middle class falls into poverty from medical bankruptcy.

1. And he gets paid for doing that. Have you seen the video where he gets punched?
I don't know if it's still available, but about 10 years ago someone punched him.

11. Pro wrestlers
didn't take kindly to his insinuations about "sports entertainment". Some wrestler clocked him. Hard. Rang his bell.

Thanks

4. his last name is too hard to rhyme.
He has the brain of a fossil.
His nose is colossal.
He should be more docile.

7. I couldn't limit it to a reasonable-length post....
but, I think he is the most despiccable type of paid shill. (BTW, you might have a chance to edit your post to reflect that it is actually lasik surgery, as opposed to the spelling for a potent diuretic drug)

8. Because...
He's a libertarian hack who doesn't want the government to do anything, yet he gladly accepts federal disaster relief funds to rebuild a beach house. One that never should have been built in the first place due to the risk of storm damage.

9. I would, but what you wrote pretty much
sums it up. The only thing left is that with that moustache, he reminds me of a guy in a late-night soft porn flick on lousy cable. And that is just personal on my part.

15. He's a roach, a rat, a slimy, smelly, spineless creature you just want to step on...
I used to watch him years ago on ABC on that 20/20 show back when it was good.
I used to think he was fair and informative.
Maybe, I just wasn't really listening.

He's a toad.
Eff him.

16. his specialty is ridicule
of those less fortunate than he is. I suspect some very complex emotional issues are at work in him, but whatever they are, he has manifested them as media mouthpiece for corporations that want to sweep away any human hindrance to their greed. He does not appear to possess any sympathy or empathy - a perfect shill for corporations.

I saw piece of his once where he took his elderly father for a driving test. He was not very nice to him and it seemed he was embarrassed by him. It convinced me there is nothing too low for him. Disgusting.

19. I hate him because he hates me, my children and my husband
the policies he promotes are designed to bankrupt the middle class. I am quite sure he never worries about how to pay for his children's education, worries because one illness could put us out on the streets, or how our shrinking salaries are going to pay for everything, including his stupid war, and the endless inflation that the higher gas prices are sure to bring. People that get paid millions to shill right wing bs hold the rest of us in utter contempt. Clearly.

24. I quit watching 20/20 years ago because I hate
Fossil's lies. He is a contemptible excuse for a human being.
