Ben Stein: Tea Party “off base” for demands of immediate deep cuts in spending « Hot Air

Mister GOP himself knows the Tea Party is way off and their stance "dangerous." He actually makes a lot of sense in the video.

Wiki FTW.

Benjamin Jeremy "Ben" Stein (born November 25, 1944) is an American actor, writer, lawyer, and commentator on political and economic issues. He attained early success as a speechwriter for American presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford. Later he entered the entertainment field and became an actor, comedian, and Emmy Award-winning game show host.

Stein has frequently written commentaries on economic, political, and social issues, along with financial advice to individual investors. He is the son of economist and writer Herbert Stein,[1] who worked at the White House under President Nixon. His sister, Rachel, is also a writer. While as a character actor he is well-known for his droning, monotone delivery, in real life he is a public speaker on a wide range of economic and social issues.

I think he is cool. I don't agree with everything, but he is right more often than not.

But he does have his odd hobby horses. He is a creationist, FWIW.

And Win Ben Stein's Money was the best game show eveah.

IOW he's a Hollywood blabbermouth, op-ed writer and a speechwriter for two of the worst presidents of the last 60 years...He's Paul Krugman with an (R) by his name.

Big fat hairy deal.

Ben Stein is a RINO.

 

[Baruch Menachem]

Oh, and he is also StrollingBones's writing coach. He has a collumn with the American Spectator which is a mirror image of her rants on here.

Ben Stein is a RINO.

Ben Stein is nobody any more credible on political matters than Barbra (do you really spell your name like that?) Streisand.

Like, not at all.

 

[Baruch Menachem]

Ben Stein is a RINO.

Well he is an academic and son of an academic, but he in no way meets the criteria for a RINO. He is internally consistant and fights the good fight. He is nothing like a Jake Starkey

 

[Mad Scientist]

So if Ben Stein says it I gotta' go with it eh? Well fuck him.

 

[Zander]

Ben Stein, entertainer. Nuff said.

^^^^
So much for that "civility" thingy that shameless political prop, Gabby Giffords, was yammering about, only yesterday.

 

[Zander]

This is exactly why Democrats and Obama will be kicked to the curb in 2012. The country is becoming more and more fiscally conservative, you'd better get used to it........

 

[Baruch Menachem]

Well, he does have degrees in Law and Economics.

Mayim Bialik is an entertainer as well. She has a PHD. When she talks Neuroscience I will listen. She is also Haredi and a vegan. Not going to pay to much attention to her advice on diet.

He said EXACTLY what Ive been thinking. (although the fella just rubs me the wrong way sometimes)
The Tea Party is mainly based on emotion and not reason. Of COURSE they havesome good ideas but as a whole, they are emotionally based. They are one dimensional thinkers with little true understanding of how things work.
