http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/11/scott-van-duzer-bear-hugs-anderson-cooper_n_1874870.htmlAs we called it, Anderson Cooper was next in line for one of Scott Van Duzer's now famous bear hugs, when the jovial Florida pizzeria owner appeared on "Anderson Live" Tuesday.
When Van Duzer appeared on the set with arms wide open, a hesitant Cooper stopped dead in his tracks, tried to wave him off, repeatedly mouthing "no," then futilely extended his hand for a handshake.
An unrelenting Van Duzer said, "We can do it the easy way or the hard way," after which Cooper finally submitted. The power-hugging Van Duzer then lifted Cooper off the ground, probably even a few inches higher than he had lifted President Obama on Sunday.
Van Duzer told Cooper, reportedly his favorite journalist, that Obama "was just a stepping stone to get to you."

Until just a few days ago. He seriously looks hurt that people want to boycott. That kind of thing stings and it does lead people to rethink their positions.

(2,391 posts)7. It really does put paid to their hollow rhetoric and anyone on the fence should see that.
Particularly those targeted by the party of hate. So much for freedom of speech and supporting small businesses! Scott was apparently entitled to his own opinion as long as it was theirs.
