What's America come to when you can no longer be a politician, judge, political candidate and be bigoted about the gays and non-whites? CALL THIS FREEDOM? They used to be free to bully with impunity! Thanks for nothing Obama!

Dan you're assuming any of these yahoos - or any of the rest of us for that matter - will still be alive the next time this country elects a Black Democrat for president. I'd like to think I'll see it happen again in my lifetime - just as I also hope to see a human being set foot on Mars - but realistically, I'm not terribly hopeful.

Um, projection.

Met Ben Stein back when I was a journalist: and although he was nice enough to me, once I'd established my credentials, yes, he was also a depressive, whiny, patronizing ass hat.

Rather than POTUS Obama is best suited to run a university full of sjw or angry black types like himself. He's too feckless and limp-wristed for his current job. He can't even stand up to Putin or bring himself to use the phrase "Islamic terrorism" after Paris lest he cause hurt fee-fees.

Exactly right, if only we had proof that Ben Stein and Ann Coulter and Donald Trump are white supremacists then -- at last! -- their credibility would really suffer. I've always suspected of course, that they seemed kinda racist, but, by God man, where's the proof? We need proof! Just get those facts out there and the public's eyes will be open at last, I'm sure of it.

@5, C'mon man, it's like you're not even trying. If you're gonna succeed as a right-wing troll you've got to show a bit more passion and throw in a few more typos. *Yawn*

This is horrible and dangerous. Dogs hear these whistles. Maybe I haven't been paying attention, but this is the worst thing I've heard Ben Stein say. I will be burning my Dvd of Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

@5: Hey, you know how Osama Bin Laden is still living comfortably in Pakistan? Oh, he isn't. He's at the bottom of the sea with a couple American bullets in him, having paid for his monstrous crimes with his miserable life!
You're welcome.

@9 Oh, Snap! @5 Suck on that!

@9 Sure! I'll thank you if you're a member of Seal Team Six or helped get the intelligence at Guantanamo. I don't remember impotence in chief Jamal Carter doing anything except being in office when that took place.

"Obama is angry black man!" "Obama is limp-wrist can't stand up to Putin!" Look y'all: talking out of both sides of your mouth isn't limited to bought and paid for politicians! Any git can do it!

Gee whiz Teckel, but it's odd that Osama capture and kill didn't happen on the Bush/Cheney watch.

So somehow the Seal Team six just couldn't get it together during the. 8 years of the Republican Regime?

Somehow Darth Vader didn't torture enough at gitmo to get that info?

Why was that?

Oh yeah, they had the gumption to invade an entire wrong country (oil, hint, hint) but macho codpiece Bush declared himself bored with very idea of capturing the evil genius who carried out the murder of thousands of Americans (hint, no oil!)

Or maybe that was an excuse because the only thing Bush and Cheney accomplished (besides getting oil for Halliburton) is thousands of more Americans dead in the wrong country, and a world wide economic collapse.

Whereas your limp wristed Obama has pulled the country out of yet another Republican caused great depression, and executed the fucker who murdered thousands of Americans on American soil.

You're incredibly reality challenged, like most Republicans.

@ 7 - At least he had the decency to choose a handle that perfectly describes his intellectual capacity.

@11: So I guess General Patton doesn't deserve credit for the liberation of France, huh? I mean, how many Nazis did he personally shoot?
President Obama brought together the best intelligence resources and directed them to find Osama Bin Laden, which the previous regime had pretty much given up on doing. When they found their target, he made the gutsy and daring decision to send in spec ops troops and confirm in person that they'd made the kill, when lots of his advisers were suggesting an air strike instead. What do you want him to do, personally pull the trigger?

If I hated America as much as Obama, I would sure as hell go through the ordeal of running for president twice!

These weasel little men not see what's going on? An international emergency is occurring, and they should be proud of how their President is playing a key role in negotiations.
Puerile little fucks they are.

@ 18 - Oh Lava, you made my day, you used "puerile", my favorite adjective! And they deserve it, too!

@11 if you are going to be a right wing troll, try at least to know how Osama bin Laden was finally found in Abbottabad. Hasan Ghul who was captured in Iraq in 2004, and mentioned before he was tortured that bin Laden had a trusted courier who was a Pakistani who's parents lived in Kuwait. The NSA actually tracked Ibrahim Saeed Ahmed's calls to Peshawar, Pakistanis working for the CIA followed him to Abbottabad..

President Obama made the call to do the raid. He mentioned in Oct. 2008, that if the US had a chance to kill bin Laden in Pakistan, the US should do it..

He kept his campaign promise..

Torture doesn't work. If Torture worked, every police station in the US would look like a medieval dungeon. Torture is tool to fill the sadistic pleasure of the torturer. Look at the fantasies made up in the Stalinist Show Trials in Soviet Russia of the 1930s, or the torture the US personnel did in South America like Dan Mitrione in Brazil and Uruguay in the late 1960s.. Torture doesn't get confession, it gets babbling to appeal to the torturers..

I agree, except for the every four years of a black Republican running for the highest national office. Black Republicans have always had a shelf-life in the conservative national spotlight. They fade into that proverbial star cluster where contact is only reached by ill-formed newsletters and Liberty University honorary degrees. They have who next on the roster? Mia Love? Tim Scott? That one dude from The Cosby Show that played Denise's husband, if they're desperate? Only if it's continually proven to be lucrative enough will another person step into that ever-revolving door of dumb-fuckery.

God, Dan is such a Bill O'reily-type of partisan. He cut off the end of the quote to screw up the context:

>He continued, “He’s a very real danger. Well, I’m very interested in psychology I’m very interest in psychoanalysis. I guess I probably should have been a psychologist. I think the question is, why is he so angry at America? I don’t think there’s much question that he does not wish America well. He has a real strong hatred of America. Is it because he’s part black? I don’t know. Is it because he felt his father was mistreated by the British in Kenya? I don’t know. We don’t know. We just know that in terms of being a forthright, bold leader who takes on our enemies, he’s not there. He’s missing in action.”

Stein explicitly says "he doesn't know" why Obama feels the way he does. Maybe it's because of his father's dealings with the British? Maybe it's because of his upbringing? Maybe it's because Obama likes Mom jeans?

@5, what a fool you are.
You have no idea how the rest of the world has breathed freely since the U.S. had a decent human being as President, in Barack Obama.

@23 Interesting analysis. Let's try it on you. David Bond Bomb is a hateful person. He even hates babies. He is a real threat to not just babies, but puppies and kittens. Why does he want to stab newborns and eat their flesh? I don't know. Is it because he's a worthless shithead? I don't know. We just know that in terms of being a decent human being, he's nowhere near.

See? I explicitly stated that I don't know why you're such a shitbag. So you have no reason to get upset, you Bill O'Reilly-type partisan.

What I want to know is why does SCOTUS Judge Clarence Thomas hate America so much?

@21

Isn't the whole point of being a right-wing troll make to make your point without worrying about having your facts straight?

What I want to know is why does SCOTUS Judge Clarence Thomas hate America so much?

Well, if the GOP keeps coming up with the kind of candidates they're fronting now, we'll be rid of Uncle Thomas soon enough.

@ 21 - I would say that's the method used, not the actual point, which is to feel superior to everyone even though they (the right wing trolls) are at the bottom of the human intelligence scale.

I don't really care what a guy who gained fame by saying, "Bueller.... bueller... bueller... " in an obnoxious voice says about politics. He hasn't been politically relevant since the early 70s. Sounds like he hasn't changed much since then.

Although, wow, this made me go back and check what Nixon did in his first term in the white house. I know about watergate, etc. but the man did so much good. Such a shame. EPA, ending the war in Vietnam, ending the draft....

Makes me sad.

Ben Stein needs to go back to writing speeches for Richard Nixon in hell.

Just keep in mind - Obama is a socialist (who over saw record breaking Wall Street Numbers) He's a Muslim, but inexplicably is a disciple of the Radical Christian Minister, Reverend Wright. He has also ruined the American healthcare system, with his socialized "Obama Care" plan, which was originally called "Romney Care," which further entrenched private insurance companies into our healthcare system and was loved by the Republicans before Obama used the idea.

Slick Willie Clinton has nothing on Obama, I tells ya!

Ben Stein really peaked with "Bueller...Bueller...Bueller..." It's been a sad decline since then.

Barack Obama is a sexy man. Looking a little thin, still with that spark. And he's a sexy man because he has a sexy wife and both of them are wonderful parents.
Worry about Hilary here. She's post menopausal, so she does have that going for her. A woman's land of freedom.
Barack is not perfect.
The world will miss his steady, intelligent, kind hand when he's no longer President.

@ 30 - You mean "keeping the war in Vietnam going much longer than it should have" * and "ending the draft because his administration could no longer contain the anti-war movement"? Yes, great achievements there.

*Not that it should have started at all, but that wasn't his fault.

@5: Fascinating how people who use the epithet "SJW" have never said anything worthwhile in their whole miserable lives. Also funny how they root themselves in threads on racism! They're holistically shit human beings.

@32: For all these people talking about how Obama is a "pussy", they're the biggest cowards I see online. Afraid of "the blacks", "the gays","the commies", but pro Trump Naziism.

@38: they don't have to say if when they can successfully use these dog whistles.

@36: I dunno, I use it as a pejorative for the sort of activist who's more about picking fights than achieving meaningful change, to the point where they pick fights with their allies over perceived minuscule slights. The trans activists at UChicago who freaked out at Dan? SJWs. Shane Ortega and Laverne Cox? Not SJWs. The black activists at Dartmouth who hurled racist invective at kids in the library who didn't drop everything and march in their rally? SJWs. The countless other BLM activists who are able to agitate for awareness of racial issues without being absolute assholes? Not SJWs.
I mean, there are people who we don't want representing equality movements, right? There's gotta be a term for them so we can differentiate between them and the activists who aren't total dickweeds.

@40: But it doesn't represent the more extreme of the tumblr set. It originated from the hard right and represents anyone slightly left of Glenn Beck, all progressives.

@41: Well, we've got essentially two options: reclaim the term from the reactionaries (and believe me, they use it mostly against the people I'm talking about, as they are the most extreme and ludicrous examples of what the reactionaries dislike) or come up with our own term instead of SJW.

Easier for me to just take the individuals as individuals versus using some Dittohead term for anyone who believes in feminism and progressive concepts.

Also,

I thought SJWs were nominally liberal people who devote their energy to tearing down liberals that don't agree with everything they say. Particularly liberals that actually do things that help people.

Like the poly activists that absolutely despise Dan for daring to object to their claim that being poly is totally the same as being gay.
