JohnnyC: I used to think Ben Stein was funny and interesting. He has gone out of favor in my mind.

I used to respect him until I heard his views on intelligent design.

does that mean this thread was Godwined before it even started?

Know who else drew that kind of crowd in Berlin?

One thing Stein should know a lot about - fascism, he worked for Nixon.

I clicked on this thread assuming it would just be a succession of *facepalm* pics.

Ben Stein is a useless tool. The only thing he ever did that was worth a crap was FBDO...

I Said: Ace Attorney: Know who else drew that kind of crowd in Berlin?

Colonel Mustard?

Wilford Brimley?

Ah yes, because Nixon was such a great guy.

Come talk to me when my eyes are a little red. Thanks.

Nestea Plunge: LordPistachio: but it is incredibly naive to think that you're doing anything other than choosing the lesser of two evils just like in every election.

You hate America or something? Why not start a viable 3rd party instead of biatching about the two parties we have?

It would be easier to develop a means of travelling faster than light and getting the hell out of here.

For some reason, Stein thinks being Jewish makes him an authority on Hitler. His "expelled" movie professed how the theory of evolution led to the holocaust or some crazy thing like that.

Let me say this about that.... Ben Stein is 100% on target. It's too bad he's not running for president.

Ben Stein's dull voiced comments have hit bottom. The guy is still a shill. I can't wait until it is pointed out that Ben does rim jobs on dead sheep. Sorry, Ben that is that too classy?

//Just hoping.

i was just down there....this was his opening statement:



as you may have noticed, I dont look like the previous candidates who have spoken before me.

obama sho dun made a black joke!

man that place was PACKED.

Add me to the list.

I truly respected Ben Stein as a really clever person 'til I heard about this ID bullshiat.

/maybe he IS going senile...

If they were really worrying about something "the Führer would have done", they should take a serious look at nationalistic rituals like the pledge of allegiance, flag-worshiping and similar brainwashing crap.

I assume Hitler at least knew the difference between a profit and a profit margin, unlike the Obamassiah. His "windfall profits" tax on oil companies idea proves he's a farking idiot.

/Remember folks... he has virtually NO experience. He spent 142 days in the Senate before he went into full campaign mode.

I think the Obama = Hitler meme must be the funniest political attack I've heard in years. I guess it lives up to 'attack them on their strength' - in this instance, popularity.

keylock71: ...or the pope.

DINGDINGDING! Everyone has their figurehead of choice. And I've gotta say, among the Pope, Hitler and Obama, only one has not actively promoted discrimination.

On a side note, why does anyone care what Ben Stein says about anything? He seems to be operating under the delusion that he has some value to society beyond promoting eyedrops and creationism, and it's our duty as a nation to straighten him out. When was the last time thousands of people turned out to listen to him speak?

Joe Paterno coaches football in front of 110,000 people which makes him like, SUPER HITLER!

Well, the Geeks, sportos, motorheads, dweebs, dorks, sluts, buttheads...they all adore Obama. They think he's a righteous dude.


That don't make him Hitler. Or Mr. Rooney.

Please define a 'windfall profit'. Thanks.

Iwouldhitit: I can't keep it straight--is Obama a secret Muslim terrorist, a radical afro-centric Christian, an expropriating and bloodthirsty communist, a cult of personality fascist, or an effete chardonnay-sipping elitist?

Fark is here to help!

Obama is a self-loathing ex-muslim terrorist turned radical afro-centric Christian who is planning to lead a nazi-like legion of elitist communists who will turn this country in a to a nation of latte drinking, french loving defeatists with delusions of grandeur.

Of course tomorrow I will have to update that with the new GOP charges. Stay tuned.

Ben Stein is merely an ass.

Yes by all means let's not have a man who wants to be the leader of over 300 million Americans not speak to over 10 thousand people who can be easily accommodated in any hall. Because Hitler, who came to up on the beer hall circuit, was evil before he talk to a a lot of people. Sheesh, Ben Stein is now dead to me.

As a republican I am actually frighten of the sheer terror many of my kind are consumed with because of Obama. Seriously after the President we have had to endure (and I voted for twice) this country deserves a better conversation than this nonsense

Wasn't the crowd in attendance at Obama's Berlin speech in excess of 75,000 people?

Obama = Hitler

/I knew it

Shaggy_C: I think the Obama = Hitler meme must be the funniest political attack I've heard in years. I guess it lives up to 'attack them on their strength' - in this instance, popularity.

its sort of like:

reagan = flower child

Now, now, Nixon was a competent president. A horrible person, maybe, but he did do a good job while in office.

Stein, on the other hand, is a mediocre supporting-role actor who spun his one appearance on Ferris Beuller's Day Off into a long and boring career, bolstered by political connections (via his wealthy old-money family, IIRC). He's resorted to endorsing creationism and Republicans solely for the shock value. He's trying to manufacture controversy so that Hollywood will at least recognize his name, even if they don't remember him. He's no different from Southpark or Howard Stern, and his opinion carries about the same weight.

Seventy-five thousand people at an outdoor event? Doesn't remind me of Nazis, it reminds me of the vile, hideous Decemberists!



/You do know they've professed to never feeling so alive as they do when they're huddled in the trenches, gazing on the battlefield, with their rifles blazing away, don't you?

The same shiat was flying from the left when Bush threw out the first pitch in Yankee stadium after 911.

Obama is more like Peter Frampton than Hitler.

Love of God and compassion and empathy leads you to a very glorious place- science leads you to killing people. - Ben Stein

THIS

/the devotion to this guy is worse than that of morons to George W.

It is funny that after 8 years of hearing whiny morons complain about Bush being Hitler, we are now seeing those same people fawning over someone who actually has the demeaner, ego, and evanglistic rhetorical qualities of Hitler. Good stuff.

LordPistachio:
If you are unreservedly enthusiastic about Obama, you don't know very much about him. Support him if you want, but it is incredibly naive to think that you're doing anything other than choosing the lesser of two evils just like in every election.

Ok i'll bite. In what way is he similar to Bush Jr or any other 'evil' as in every other election?

kellyshannon: That story made me laugh right out loud. If this goes green, I'll share my personal Ben Stein story.

In other news, Ben's last attention whoring attempt flopped, so here he is again, folks!

The_Sponge: I met him back in college. He was a guest speaker on campus, and I had my Ferris Bueller's Day Off DVD autographed.

/He used to be a prof at our law school.

My Evidence professor was roomates with Ben Stein at Columbia. He's got a very similar sense of humor, but is quite a bit more liberal.

Well I keep hearing how the subprime mortgage disaster is a Weimar Republic scenario. So, yeah, nice Godwin there, Ben.
