Crooks and Liars has posted a video showing Paul Waldman picking up bullshit artist John Stossel by the collar and giving him a good shaking. As entertaining as this is (his facial expressions are priceless... what an intelligent, mature way to debate a topic), and as entertaining as the smack in the puss Stossel gets from a pro wrestler in the video add-on at the end, I think this is an excellent example of how to deal with these liars on the right. As we have seen time and again, when they make ridiculous assertions, any direct confrontation demanding proof is met with stammers and excuses. "I'd have to look it up" is bullshit; if someone was smearing and slandering me, you can bet I'd know exactly what it was they were saying. And if this so-called "smear site" has referenced you fourteen times, you'd think he'd be able to remember one of them.
Anyway, this is schadenfreude, but if Stossel were to accuse me of that, I'd be more than happy to admit to it.
Now go away, Stossel, before I taunt you a second time.
