The dumbest thing Ben Stein says on the Larry King clip below is, and I quote, “They’re being like bureaucrats.” He was referring to to the government bureaucrats who run Fatherland Security. Well, Ben, what else should we expect government bureaucrats to behave like?! A government bureaucrat who does not behave like a bureaucrat (clueless, lazy, careless, uncaring, arrogant, pushy, dishonest, etc.) is as likely as a cat that barks like a dog (or vice versa).
This shows how totally incapable Stein is of analyzing government failure, which is why he resorted to his reprehensible anti-Semitic smear. Like leftists who attempt to censor all critiques of the welfare state with cries of racism, Stein attempts to censor Ron Paul’s rational and informed discussion of foreign policy with an absurd cry of “anti-Semitism.” Shame on him.
Stein is a phony. On CNN Business News I once watched him on a panel that was offering free advice on stock picks. After letting him go on and on about this or that company the commentator asked Stein, “which stocks do you own”? Stein’s answer (paraphrasing): “I don’t own any individual stocks; I invest in mutual funds.”
