John Stossel On Occupy Protesters: ‘They Smell Bad…And Haven’t Committed Violence Really Yet’
Oh those sneaky Libertarians. Because of their wacky ideals and whatnot, it’s so hard to peg exactly where they’ll be coming from. Take, for example, John Stossell’s appearance on Your World today. While he came on with a fake protest sign declaring his love of free speech, he disagreed that the Occupiers had a right to, well, occupy with tents. However, when Neil Cavuto presented him with a clip seeming to show the protesters as inciting violence, Stossell refused to take the bait, instead pointing out that the Occupiers hadn’t actually done anything violent yet.
The clip in question was one that had been all over the Conservative blogosphere today featuring an angry protester following the eviction saying that, while the NYPD had guns, they had bodies and making references to molotov cocktails. If anyone’s spent any time indulging in Conservative media in the past couple months, this is the latest of a series of stories held aloft to prove that, while the protesters are lazy, directionless slackers, they’re also, as Rush Limbaugh put it today, “lousy hippies, thieves, rapists, purse snatchers, and muggers.”
Stossell wouldn’t go for it though. He summed up his feelings for the movement thusly:
“I don’t like those people, they smell bad, but they haven’t committed violence really yet.”
Damn Libertarian. Agree with one side or the other, you stupid jerk!
