Does Dr Oz not want to win?

Not sure if you're being serious. How about Matt Gaetz vs Rebekah Jones?

 

You seem to have forgot about this guy and he not only ran, he was actually elected.

 

Twice! He was elected twice.

 

I’m not sure what is more concerning: that you think Fetterman is actually capable of compiling and tweeting it, or that you don’t see this video for the biased, heavily edited hack piece that it is.

 

Oh, I can see it for the hack that is Dr. Oz.

 

With this post, you forfeit any credibility to criticize any right winger for posting links to biased, heavily edited hack videos that may be brought here. You can only reclaim credibility if you are willing to wear Fetterman’s hoodie without an undershirt and inhale four times as you pull it over your head.

 

First of all, does anyone believe that candidates personally produce their own campaign materials? You think someone is under the impression that Fetterman combed through all the Oz product pitches and hundreds of hours The Simpsons to produce that video?
Second, you're saying Oz didn't really say that stuff about the products he was trying to sell?

 

You are criticizing the video because [checks notes] it’s “heavily edited”? Like… there is a supposed to be a non “heavily edited” video comparing a hack supplement peddler doctor to a Simpsons character?

His video is satire. It’s funny because the character is not far off from what Oz has become.

 

What I’m saying is that I am quite sure that if you watched those shows in there entirety you would walk away with a much different thought than you would get from hacked up/together pieces of sound bites.
I don’t know much about Oz and really don’t care. That race should not even be close with Fetterman’s obvious cognitive disabilities. Of Pennsylvania votes for that then they get the representation they deserve.

What I do know is that that tweet needs to be taken with an ocean full of salt as it is campaign bullshit.

 

Is it funny to point out that Fetterman has the cognitive abilities of a below average third grade student?

 

1. Yes, everything a candidate says about his opponent should not be taken as gospel
2. If you don't know much about Oz, maybe you shouldn't be claiming that he's not really like the video made him look.
3. And ... you really don't like Fetterman. got it.

 

As someone that lives with a person that loves Dr. Oz, you are 100% incorrect on this point.

 

We agree the race is closer than it should be. Anybody who wants to elect a snake oil salesman who lives in New Jersey to be the senator from PA is a fool.

 

Dr. Oz has morphed from being a well respected cardio-thoracic surgeon into a snake oil peddler apparently because there is more money to be had as the latter rather than the former.

 

your evidence of that is ...?

 

Funny? No, the guy had a stroke recently. Whether he's fit to run is another question and as I've literally seen nothing from their campaign, not one I'm capable of answering, but there's nothing funny about someone suffering the residual ravages of a stroke whether permanent or not.

Just like there is nothing funny about watching Herschel trying to cobble together a coherent thought here in GA while clearly showing signs of (presumably CTE-inspired) cognitive challenges. Ran into him as we were both paying our bills at the same time in a restaurant in Sandy Springs a few months ago and we stopped to chat with each other on the way out, and it was brutal. And no, out of respect for the fact that he was with his family on personal time, I absolutely did not engage in a discussion about politics with him. We talked about Gators vs Dawgs for a few minutes before shaking hands and going our separate ways. I left our encounter feeling sorry for him that for some reason someone thought the Senate was s good fit for him when its probably the very last thing he should be doing.

It's painful to watch cognitively impaired people regardless of what party the person belongs to or what there political beliefs are. I'd like to think as humans we are above making fun of them but places like this board surprise me every day (and not in a good way) about how humans are capable of treating each other.

 

Some right-wing propaganda source.

 

Which, if we are being completely honest here, makes him a perfect for as a politician for either party.

 

Oh boy. Or should I say ‘here boy’?



In a scandal that will surely make Mitt Romney—who famously strapped his family dog atop the roof of his car for a road trip—look like a PETA activist, a review of 75 studies published by Mehmet Ozbetween 1989 and 2010 reveals the Republican Senate candidate’s research killed over 300 dogs and inflicted significant suffering on them and the other animals used in experiments.

Oz, the New Jersey resident who’s currently running for U.S. Senate from Pennsylvania, was a “principal investigator” at the Columbia University Institute of Comparative Medicine labs for years and assumed “full scientific, administrative, and fiscal responsibility for the conduct” of his studies. Over the course of 75 studies published in academic journals reviewed by Jezebel, Oz’s team conducted experiments on at least 1,027 live animal subjects that included dogs, pigs, calves, rabbits, and small rodents. Thirty-four of these experiments resulted in the deaths of at least 329 dogs, while two of his experiments killed 31 pigs, and 38 experiments killed 661 rabbits and rodents.
