Living Wage Battle: Sirota Vs. 'smarmy-looking liar' (thanks to <lj site="livejournal.com" user="th

http://blip.tv/file/42657


Raising wages creates jobs.


David Sirota exposes John Stossel's "dishonest talking points."

On CNBC's 'Kudlow & Cramer' David Sirota debated John Stossel on the minimum wage issue.

David Sirota: Well, listen, John, I would encourage you stop reciting these dishonest talking points and the chatter you're hearing on the cocktail party circuit because the stats don't bear that out in any way at all….

Mr. STOSSEL: … I now realize who you are because you, on my Amazon page, he came on and said, `I'm a smarmy-looking liar.'

Mr. SIROTA: You are.

i dont know who either of these people are. but if i was ever on a live news or debate show with someone I hated I'd do shit like that and admit it publically too. that's hilarious that he went on amazon and said that about him and proudly admitted it. that sounds like something I would do.
