6. He said organic foods were fertilized with manure and were all smeared
with e coli and other poopy stuff. It was sickening!

14. That's the same reason I won't watch him!
I'm all for exploring the issues and all, but that man is a fool. And he actually thinks he matters! Remember his book -- How I became the Scourge of the Liberal Media or something? Dude, nobody cares! You just preach to the choir and those of us with functioning brains ignore you. Idiot.

11. If I took John Stossel's brain and shoved it up a gnat's ass . . .
. . . it would look like a bb in a boxcar. 'Nuff said.

13. "Dr. D. ... David Schultz" knew what to do.
In the late 70's, early 80's, Stossel was doing a show with Barbara W. His assignment was to investigate professional wrestling. He came to the amazing conclusion that it was fake ("say it ain't so champ"). He was interviewing wrestling bad guy David Schultz (a real mean dude) and suggested the whole thing was a sham. Right on camera, Schultz hauled off and smacked Stossel in the head a couple of times. Down goes Stossel. Stossel got up and mouthed off again. Another smack from Schultz apparently did permanent ear damage; perhaps brain as well. How sweet it was!

15. Hmmm. You may be onto something
I remember that. And I recall that before that incident he had been something of a consumerist. Brain damage or not, he seems to have been in an "I'm a victim" state ever since. This sense of self-victimization is at the core of a lot of right-wing rhetoric.

17. Any DU'er who needs a pick-me-up, needs to watch that clip
It broke his nose I think.

It always gives me that warm fuzzy feeling when I see it.

20. OMG, He's the leatherman!!!
LOL, I never saw it before, but the mustache is all over his face. Jeebus, I guess he repulses me so much I just never watched long enough to pick up a signal.

23. One of the biggest culprits
in manufacturing outrage in order to engineer social movements. cherry picks the relevant information and often leaves out important context to get his audience riled up.

29. Cant STAND Stossel..He wishes for times of child labor
and monopoly's. The guy is a world class tool for any cooperation that wishes to screw over the little guy. The piece he did on Edwards made the spin on Fox news look partisan.
The fact HE was the guy that got beat on by Schultz is pretty darn sweet i must say.
