13. Rat-a-tat of Right Wing Lies
The one that sticks in my mind most is him saying "no more Vietnaaaaaaams" which he defined as a war lost by the media because they didn't report on all the wonderful things we were doing over there.

If your head didn't just explode, you must somehow be able to NOT think of the children poisened by dioxyn and the continuing parade of lost limbs and bombs exploding after thirty years.

Why is this monster allowed on a nice show like Sunday Morning? Too bad my TV doesn't have a BS chip to switch that stuff off.

He looks like such a dork.

C'mon, it's not like it's a secret that Ben Stein is a big-time wingnut bush-boot-licker...

7. Yeah... he was not too bad at first, but he sucked at the end.
When he said Cindy was wrong in saying the Coward had killed Casey, he seemed to forget that the Iraqi who led those who killed Casey in Sadr City is now one of the Iraqis that the Coward is now supporting, at least indirectly. He also overlooked the fact that the Coward had lied about the War, and Cindy says those lies contributed to Casey enlisting.

Ben Stein remains a turd in my book.

9. Ben Stein...bad commercials, a bit part on Wonder Years, bogus
game show on - what? Comedy or MTV.....more hypocrisy. When artists come out on behalf of the left, the right screams that they should keep out of politics. When the right brings out their sad sack, talentless crew, we are all supposed to be in awe of their intellect.

Black is white, white is black, we are in Bizarro World....beam me up!

in Nixon's WH.... and was responsible for the worst inflation in the last 70 years.

14. I wish I had a link to a speech he gave in DC a couple of years ago...

Totally bombed, in front of a GOP crowd. It was hilarious; he was re-using ten year old jokes that belonged to other people, and it was falling flat like pancakes.

He was behind me in traffic here in LA a while ago; driving a big-ass gas guzzling late-model caddy coup de ville, naturally.

18. Thank you, Kitten :)
but, hearing someone blame the media for losing Vietnam again is like hearing someone deny the Holocaust (and getting to do so on CBS?!)

But face it, OTHER idiots have control over our lives.

19. I'm jumping on this thread
to make you feel better this last Sunday in August, 2005!

Chin up..don't let a lying SLIMEBALL like ben freakin' stein waste your time with any blues.

ben(I'm so fulla myself and shite)stein isn't worth the time of day much less a whole morning..

I've read cable news has less viewers than patwah robertson..so how many do you think got brainwashed by him this morning?

22. Sunday Morning is not cable
Millions of Americans are moping about in a half-asleep state.

Then Stein comes on and blames the media for losing Vietnam.

Maybe we're open to the power of suggestion, no matter how outrageous :)

25. My bad! I just assumed the
asshole was on cable. Now I'm hearing he's on cbs..there needs to be a giant media blaster to let the honchos know how many aren't watching cbs "Sunday Morning" anymore because of ben fucking stein.

21. turn 'em off
Everyone should know by now the party-line that schmucks like Stein are wont to spew. Turn them off. Don't listen. I surfed around until Nancy Giles was up.
We're only infuriating ourselves to give any credence to the dead right. Don't listen, don't patronize, don't give them any reason to spew their dead lies anymore.

23. I've quit watch CBS Sunday Morning since they started featuring his
editorials. If I want to be pissed off and annoyed by the television, I figure Fox News is always on.
