While Stossel didn’t defend BP CEO Tony Hayward, calling him and his corporation “despicable,” he was equally appalled by the fact that the Obama administration made BP agree to save $20 billion in an escrow account specifically for claims.

Did Stossel have an alternative suggestion?

O’Reilly is a supercilious p**ck who has a way-too-high opinion of himself. He has little philosophical base and would do well to listen more and talk less.

Stossel affirmed that he believed the deal was a “shakedown”– no, a “thuggish Chicago Shakedown”– and despite disapproval from O’Reilly, who had no problem with BP officials being “roughed up,” Stossel was worried that it was a slippery slope. “What if next time, Fox News is evil, and O’Reilly is evil,” he argued, and Fox News was taken off the air?

Stossel's one of the best minds our side's got - he's called this one right.

“O’Reilly basically responded that he’d cross that bridge when we get to it, and that he didn’t believe the federal government would ever take him off the air.”

BOR is a fool and I can no longer stomach watching his BAMBAM celebration fest. I used to be a big fan, but eventually fools turn me off.

I heart John Stossel.

Obongo Bozo and his thugs are intent on transforming America into a LIEberal/Marxist/Socialist/Fascist nation.

Remember, in their theology, “The ends justifies the means!”

We have not seen anything yet.

Keep your powder dry!
