Ben Stein calls Ron Paul antisemitic on Larry King

Ben Stein calls Ron Paul antisemitic on Larry King

Ron Paul appeared on Larry King Live on CNN this evening along with Ben Stein and Sheila Jackson Lee to discuss the recent thwarted terrorist attack. After Paul gives his now famous view that they ?attack us because we are over there? Ben Stein calls Paul antisemitic which solicits a demand for an apology by Paul. Paul characterizes it as a ?vicious attack?.

Stein?s reaction is quite reminiscent of Rudy Giuliani?s reaction during that first debate back in 2007.

The two continue arguing over one another for nearly the rest of the entire segment. King ends by saying they will all be back for tomorrow evening?s show.

Paul called Ben Stein a Conservative

I have never heard Stein called that ?

I like both these guys

I lost a lot of respect for Ben Stein when he tried taking everyone on his religious movie making BS ride.

 

[THE KOD]

The following was written by Ben Stein and recited by him on CBS Sunday Morning Commentary.

My confession:

I am a Jew, and every single one of my ancestors was Jewish. And it does not bother me even a little bit when people call those beautiful lit up, bejeweled trees, Christmas trees. I don't feel threatened. I don't feel discriminated against. That's what they are, Christmas trees.

It doesn't bother me a bit when people say, 'Merry Christmas' to me. I don't think they are slighting me or getting ready to put me in a ghetto. In fact, I kind of like it. It shows that we are all brothers and sisters celebrating this happy time of year... It doesn't bother me at all that there is a manger scene on display at a key intersection near my beach house in Malibu . If people want a creche, it's just as fine with me as is the Menorah a few hundred yards away.

I don't like getting pushed around for being a Jew, and I don't think Christians like getting pushed around for being Christians. I think people who believe in God are sick and tired of getting pushed around, period. I have no idea where the concept came from, that America is an explicitly atheist country. I can't find it in the Constitution and I don't like it being shoved down my throat.

Or maybe I can put it another way: where did the idea come from that we should worship celebrities and we aren't allowed to worship God as we understand Him? I guess that's a sign that I'm getting old, too. But there are a lot of us who are wondering where these celebrities came from and where the America we knew went to.

In light of the many jokes we send to one another for a laugh, this is a little different: This is not intended to be a joke; it's not funny, it's intended to get you thinking.

Billy Graham's daughter was interviewed on the Early Show and Jane Clayson asked her 'How could God let something like this happen?' (regarding Hurricane Katrina).. Anne Graham gave an extremely profound and insightful response. She said, 'I believe God is deeply saddened by this, just as we are, but for years we've been telling God to get out of our schools, to get out of our government and to get out of our lives. And being the gentleman He is, I believe He has calmly backed out. How can we expect God to give us His blessing and His protection if we demand He leave us alone?'

In light of recent events... terrorists attack, school shootings, etc. I think it started when Madeleine Murray O'Hare (she was murdered, her body found a few years ago) complained she didn't want prayer in our schools, and we said OK.. Then someone said you better not read the Bible in school. The Bible says thou shalt not kill; thou shalt not steal, and love your neighbor as yourself. And we said OK.

Then Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn't spank our children when they misbehave, because their little personalities would be warped and we might damage their self-esteem (Dr. Spock's son committed suicide). We said an expert should know what he's talking about. And we said okay.

Now we're asking ourselves why our children have no conscience, why they don't know right from wrong, and why it doesn't bother them to kill strangers, their classmates, and themselves.

Probably, if we think about it long and hard enough, we can figure it out. I think it has a great deal to do with 'WE REAP WHAT WE SOW...'

Funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world's going to hell. Funny how we believe what the newspapers say, but question what the Bible says. Funny how you can send 'jokes' through e-mail and they spread like wildfire, but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing. Funny how lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene articles pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion of God is suppressed in the school and workplace.

Are you laughing yet?

Funny how when you forward this message, you will not send it to many on your address list because you're not sure what they believe, or what they will think of you for sending it.

Funny how we can be more worried about what other people think of us than what God thinks of us.

Pass it on if you think it has merit.

If not, then just discard it... no one will know you did. But, if you discard this thought process, don't sit back and complain about what bad shape the world is in.



My Best Regards, Honestly and respectfully,

Ben Stein

You are a piece of work, that's for sure.

Stupid in your eyes means not agreeing with your views. Now THAT'S stupid. Nothing wrong with having differing opinions - and being able to see the other's points if their opinion is different. One of the great things about our country is the varying poliitical ideals......

Apology accepted, by the way.

OK

now all I need is a apology from you concerning your statements that I dont take care of my wife and family.

otherwise it will be hard for me to forget that whenever I respond to you.

TIA

Scott:

I think you need to go back and take a look at some of the things you said - the vulgarity, name calling, etc. before asking for an apology from me.

If I remember right, you got upset with someone making good sense and disagreeing with you - so your response was a juvenile one - "I'll just call them names!"....

Like you continue to do......

I'm not going to sink to your level and play that game. It may be part of your "shtick", but it has gotten pretty old in a hurry.

 

[WhatsHisNuts]

First off, I didn't bash religion in my post. That said, I will if I have to.

It takes alot to get me angry . On a message board and in my everyday life.

But if someone goes out of line and mentions my wife and family as you did.
I can be and have been a volatile individual at tiimes in my life.

Anyway you should understand whatever happens after that.

I was pretty sure you wouldnt be able to apologize. You dont seem like the type.

But that says alot about you.

If you want to leave it like it is then fine.

Just please do not post anything in my threads or if we are in the same thread dont say anything about me or to me in any forum.

If you do I will not be responsible for whatever I say. I could easily go a few months after football, with a picture posting event about you and follow you around saying stupid things about you on and on. Its hardly worthy of my time though

thanks

Scott
