Rep. Paul, a Republican from Texas, has argued for removing U.S. soldiers from the Middle East because the American presence there is increasingly seen by many Muslims as a foreign occupation force. Responding to Rep. Paul's argument that Americans should mind their own business and not become the policeman of the world, Stein argued: “No, we're not occupiers. That's the same anti-Semitic argument we've heard over and over again. That's the same anti-Semitic argument we've heard over and over again.” Rep. Paul responded by saying, “That is a vicious attack,” and Stein defended his statement by saying, “Look, that is not a vicious attack.” The argument began when Dr. Paul noted that American foreign policy experts make bombing decisions while “never asking the question: What is the motive?” He went on to explain that the most recent would-be airline hijacker “said why he did it. He said because we bombed Yemen two weeks ago. That was his motive.” Dr. Paul then went on to explain that the United States is falling into the interventionist trap: Osama bin Laden said that he has a plan for America. First, he wants to bog us down in the Middle East in a no-win war. He wants to bankrupt this country, demoralize us, as well as have us do things that motivate people to join his radical movement. It seems like we have fallen into his trap. Dr. Paul (he's an obstetrician as well as a Congressman) noted that the occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan, now in their seventh and ninth years respectively, have spurred terrorist attacks from Muslims who want the foreign troops out of their countries. Ben Stein responded to Dr. Paul by saying, “I never heard anything quite like that in my whole life. What he's basically saying is that we are doing something wrong by defending ourselves. Look, if these terrorists are trying to kill the government of Yemen, we've got to help defend them. They are our friends.” That was an odd retort, since it leaves the question of who the “ourselves” is in Stein's sentence. While the question of whether Yemen is a government that ranks among “our friends” is debatable at best (it's a corrupt pseudo-democracy with a horrible human-rights record), it hardly stands to reason that defending a rather insignificant and corrupt government on the other end of the planet is equivalent to defending U.S. soil. Asked again why terrorists were targeting the United States rather than other free countries, Stein replied, “They're terrorists and murderers because they are psychos. They're terrorists and murderers because they are psychos, same as all terrorists and murderers.” But, of course, if they are “psychos,” then they don't act with any reason. And if they don't act with any reason, then there's no reason to believe they would target the United States more than any other country. In fact, if they are indeed insane as Ben Stein suggests, there's less chance of them attacking the United States than the country where they are currently living because attacking the United States requires the kind of travel and planning that the insane rarely undertake. Stein's attack on Dr. Paul is only the latest gaffe by the former movie actor. Stein served as a frequent financial advisor on CNBC in 2007, where he doled out terrible predictions in a debate with Euro-Pacific Capital President Peter Schiff. Faced with dire warnings about the coming housing market crash from Schiff, Stein predicted a healthy housing market. “Sub-prime is tiny. Sub-prime is a tiny, tiny blip,” Stein stressed, adding: The financials, as I keep saying, are just super-bargains. I predict that, like, Merrill Lynch which is an astonishingly well-run company. Did you know that a couple of days ago it was trading at barely more than seven times earnings? Financials typically trade at a low P-E [price to earnings ratio], but this is a joke. This stock, they might as well be giving it away in cereal boxes and giving it away, that's how cheap it is. Ben Stein made that investment advice when Merrill Lynch was selling at $76.04 per share. That value quickly sunk to $21 per share and the firm only avoided bankruptcy after a 2008 Bank of America merger that nearly bankrupted the banking giant (Bank of America is the largest bank in the United States). Stein also predicted the stock market would continue to climb during the August 2007 CNBC show. “I think stocks will be a heck of a lot higher a year from now than they are now,” Stein announced confidently. When he made this prediction on August 18, 2007, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was bouncing between 13,000 and 14,000, but within a year and a half, the DJIA had sunk to less than 7,000. Throughout the heated debate, Stein never even tried to explain why Paul's contention that the United States should not be the policeman of the world is anti-Semitic. Ben Stein's accusation of “anti-Semitic argument” is clearly as accurate as his financial predictions several years ago. Perhaps that's why some Ron Paul supporters have started a “Win Ben Stein's Apology” page on Facebook, a play on the former actor's old game show Win Ben Stein's Money. Larry King announced that he would invite both people back onto the show December 29 to continue the heated conversation. Photo: AP Images

... Ron Paul is right about a lotta points. Thats my opinion but "Jenn of the Jungle's" statement that he is a "total douche bag" is sophomoric, pathetic, rude, and unfounded. Doctor Paul is one of the most genuine and principled men (much less politicians) you could ever meet. |

Um, Wha? "Jenn of the Jungle said: ... Ron Paul is a total douche bag but at least he's right on one point, we cannot be the world's police." Ok Jenn, Please elaborate. Tell us why Ron Paul is a "douche bag". Just because you are not bright enough to see through the BS we are spoon fed everyday does not make Ron Paul a douche bag. |

Unbelievable How someone could call Dr. Paul a name like that is proof of America's ignorant decline. If anyone has read a newspaper or caught a sound-bite of Dr. Paul in the last 20 years, integrity, not douche bag, would be the descriptive term most befitting.

Anti-Semitic? Anti-Semitic? Then how do you explain Peter Schiff as Ron Paul's economic advisor on his presidential campaign? |
James
said:

Ron hates those Jews Not only was Peter Schiff his economic advisor, his greatest and most revered intellectual influences are Ludwig Von Mises and his friend Murray Rothbard, both Jewish. Throw in the late Burt Blumert for good measure, and you'll realize that Stein is as colossal an idiot as the leftists who call those who oppose Obammunism racists. |

... Calling Ron Paul anti-semitic is silly considering that his most significant economic and political mentors were all Jewish. Stein should pursue another career. His economic advice sucks and he has to resort to name-calling. Maybe on the 29th he can channel Leo Strauss and drop Hitler's name. |

Ben Stein Ben Stein is a slick zionist jew, much like the ones in Bush II's cabinet who manipulated that idiot (Bush) into attacking Iran FOR NO REASON...The real reason was to: 1)Remove ANY possiblle minute threat to israel 2)Retaliation for the scud missles attacks on israel 8 years before the disgusting US attack on Iran in 2002. Its kind of funny that this "slick" jew is calling the terrorists psychos and murderers (to deflect the real reasons). The "REAL" reason for terrorist attacks is the US giving the INSANE gangster state of israel up to 20 BILLION dollars(TOTAL) of US taxpayer money and arms to kill innocent Arabs "IN SELF DEFENSE" of course... When the Arabs retaliate against the terrorist gangster state of israel they are "insane psycho killers"... If it was up to the jews (like the sleazy Stein) the US would have already nuked Iran. Meanwhile the insane gangster state of israel has 300 nuclear weapons that the dumb,media controlled US taxpayer paid for... Does anyone remember the USS Liberty? |

... Ben Stein donated $2,300 to Al Franken's Senate campaign. He helped the Demoleft get their 60 votes in the Senate. Maybe they're trying to build a Franken Stein monster. Ben poses as a conservative but his donations give him away. His financial advice is laughable, as the savvy blogger pointed out. I used to be a fan of Stein and his game show but have no use for him now. Yes, I voted for Ron Paul for pres in '08, also in 1988. |

... America has given Israel over $30 billion. You can see how dependent Israel is on our money. In addition to demanding our money they demand that we give our lives to defend them. According to Ben Stein if an American politician refuses to allow Americans to die for Israel then that politician is anti-Semitic. Ben Stein is supposed to be an American, but he clearly shows that he is first an Israeli. He is an Israeli who wants Americans to fight and die for Israel. The way Ben Stein frames anti-Semitism every good American should be anti-Semitic. |

anti-GENTILISM is the problem Anti-GENTILISM is the source of "antisemitism". HUMANITY did not invent "antisemitism" and then wait thousands of years for judaism to appear, just so everybody could "hate" it for absolutely no reason. Jacob invented judaism, Moses (another "gem" of humanity) codified anti-GENTILISM in his "torah". Then judaism practiced anti-GENTILISM, their hatred of ALL NON-jews, and the only SANE reaction of any NON-jew is self defense, which the "Tribe" calls antisemitism. Judaism is neither a race or a religion, it is Xenophobic Tribalism. XENOPHOBIC: n. A person unduly fearful or contemptuous of that which is foreign, especially of strangers or foreign peoples. TRIBALISM: n. 1. The organization, culture, or beliefs of a tribe. 2. A strong feeling of identity with and loyalty to one's tribe or group. |

... Someone should point out to Stein that Arabs are Semites also. The fact that we've invaded Iraq with no provocation, we're currently bombing Yemen, most Arabs would probably say that we're the anti Semites. And coming from someone who's last name is Stein, and ancestors have probably converted to Judaism in Germany or the Caucuas 1,000 years or more, he should be the last person to be a judge on what anti Semitism is. |

Who's a Semite Stein is Caucasian! He's no Semite! But he's also a low-life, moronic, Jewish fundamentalist. That's the bottom line here, Stein's fundamentalist fanaticism. Fanatics don't need facts and they don't need reason. All they ever desire to see is the world through their fundamental lenses. The spurious remark, and the distortion of reality are preferred weapons of fundamentalist of all kinds, of which Stein is a prime example. |

Stein is the real traitor Stein cares more about Israel than he does the US. He has admitted this in the past. http://spectator.org/archives/2005/06/03/i-dont-feel-for-felt Money quote: "And it gets worse: it's been reported that Mark Felt is at least part Jewish. The reason this is worse is that at the same time that Mark Felt was betraying Richard Nixon, Nixon was saving Eretz Israel. It is a terrifying chapter in betrayal and ingratitude. If he even knows what shame is, I wonder if he felt a moment's shame as he tortured the man who brought security and salvation to the land of so many of his and my fellow Jews. Somehow, as I look at his demented face, I doubt it." So Mr. Stein believes that Mr. Felt should have put loyalty to the Star of David above the Stars and Stripes. Win Ben Stein's money? I don't know how much he has but I think it is fair to say that there are 30 pieces of silver in his bank account. For someone who worked in the White House to place another country above this republic reeks of treason. |

Dr. Stein (tongue in cheek) I guess Been Stein has not seen a chart of the dollar lately. I expect he will hang on until he is broke along with the dollar. He has no credentials as an econmist that I know about. He has better stick to selling products and saving his money that he will eventually lose to a government rapidly destroying the dollar by debasing it. |

Win Ben Stein's Fail! Ben hates Ron Paul for wanting to stop funding to all our allies, which happens to include Israel. A debate worth having if it wouldn't degenerate into an argument about hating Jews all the time. Stop being so intellectually bankrupt and pulling "cards" and calling people names (without reason). The irony, as pointed out earlier, is how superficial and full of ignorance the attacks are against Ron Paul. Case in point: He's called anti-Semitic yet had Peter Schiff (Jewish) as his economic adviser for his last presidential run. He's called racist yet his hero is MLK and one of his best friends, Nelson Linder, of more then 20 years is the former President of the Texas NAACP, who currently is the Director now. He's called homophobic yet his campaign director was a gay man, who recently and unfortunately passed away. What? Now the argument is that he's a "douche bag", wtf?  |

Ron Paul IS Anti-Semetic! Here's the proof: Ben Stein is a Jew. Dr. Paul disagreed with Mr. Stein. Anyone who disagrees with a Jew is Anti-Semitic. Therefore Dr. Paul is Anit-Semitic. Case closed. [Note to the humor impaired (AKA the neocons) That was a joke.) Just because someone disagrees with the neocon agenda does not mean that they are anti-semitic, any more than just because someone opposes communism (Marx was Jewish too, don't forget) they are anti-semitic. |

... Apparantly Ben Stein is so ignorant of the region, its people, and its history that he forgot that many Muslims, including those of Iraq and Yemen, ARE Semitic. Ron Paul being antisemitic (sic)? You must be kidding! If Larry King wants to have somebody on who can criticize Congressman Ron Paul's thoughtful and intelligent arguments against military intervention in that troubled area of the world, especially when we have so many serious problems at home, he can certainly do better than a fool like Ben Stein!

What's all the fuss You should not be upset by what Ben Stein said. You should rejoice! Ron paul held the high ground and Stein folded under pressure. Paul won the debate at that point. We want this to happen with all the NeoCons. Don't be upset that he inferred something untrue about Ron, Ben Stein exposed his ignorance - rejoice, we're winning every time that happens! I can guarantee Ron Paul would tolerate being called an antisemmite by every NeoCon on the planet because he know they expose their ignorance every time they do it and our cause is furthered. |

... When, in the course of debate/argument, one party engages in an ad hominem attack on the other, the party resorting to the ad hominem attack has lost the argument, having nothing better to offer at that point other than name calling. Ben Stein lost the argument to Ron Paul, plain and simple. That Stein resorted to an ad hominem attack on Paul diminishes Stein considerably in my eyes. |

New Rule... ...always assume Ben Stein is 180 degrees wrong. "I never heard anything quite like that in my whole life... That's the same anti-Semitic argument we've heard over and over again." Presumably he's referring to the same anti-Semitic argument he's never heard anything quite like that he's heard over and over again? And he wants to put IBM (which designed and maintained Hitler's punch-card system to keep track of Jews in concentration camps) in charge of keeping track of people getting on airplanes. Buy financial stocks. Subprime is tiny. Thanks, Ben. Because of you, I'm poor, what little money I have left is stolen to defend "our friends" in Yemen+200 other countries, I'm being kept track of by the same company who kept track of Jews during the holocaust.... and I'm an anti-Semite? |

... I Commented above and would like to add the the US taxpayer has given the illegitimate,vicious gangster state of israel 20 billion dollars of YOUR money... a YEAR!!!(well the official talley is 3 only billion...) Now I AM an anti-semite because I have a problem with that.. I have a problem with vicious jews in israel using OUR MONEY to continuously kill innocent civilians (self defense) in residential arab neighborhoods with illegal phosphorus bombs (when the schrapnel from these bombs contacts the body it burns through and can't be put out).Have you seen when the brave state of israel targets a Hammas members car with a missile attack(usually with woman and children in the car)? They wait for a crowd to gather around the car and shoot more missiles at the crowd of children and civilian onlookers (self-defense)...I have routinely heard American jews refer to the Arabs as animals.... Wake up dumb American and turn off the Fox zionist brainwashing... |

Anti-Ron Paulism is More Accurate One of the advantages of being right is ad hominem attacks only verify your side of the argument. Since Ben couldn't refute what Dr. Paul was saying logically & factually he resorted to name calling. No surprise there. What's really going on is a concerted effort, early on, to derail any possibility of Dr. Paul running a meaningful presidential campaign in 2012. The Liberal / Neo-Con duopoly realizes a lot of Americans are completely fed up with business as usual. There are already some serious liberty minded contenders at the State & Federal levels. It won't take but a few wins in the House & Senate to foul up the status quo. As the economy sinks & the messages of liberty & non-intervention reach ever more voters, Benny Boy sees the potential for declining foreign aid to Israel & U.S. troop withdrawal. Let's help him realize his deepest fears in 2010 & 2012! |

... Clearly Ben Stein and other such Zionists, relates to the world through a Jewish supremacist mind set. For Mr. Stein all things Jewish, or related to Israel, are of supreme importance. To these Jewish supremacist anyone that interferes with their plans is an enemy, even if it is only an American that urges their fellow countrymen to do the right thing. The really sad thing is that we continue to allow these Zionists to continue in their pretense of being loyal Americans. |

Name-Calling is Not Informed Argument Ben Stein was way out of line to call Ron Paul, or anyone else, "anti-Semitic" simply because he doesn't believe in the US being the world's policeman. Perhaps Stein thought that pulling back in the Middle East would expose Israel to danger, but let's fact it--if Israel wants to make peace, it would stop building settlements and get on with negotiation on a two-state solution. Israel started as a country of visionaries, pioneers and believers in social justice. They took a bad turn when they practiced ethnic cleansing against the Palestinians. Now both sides need to make peace. But sadly, so many people in the Israel Lobby have become fanatics, and will call anybody who disagrees with anything they say anti-Semitic. That's beyond taking a cheap shot. It's a kind of emotional blackmail. But people are catching on. That's why people are turning away from the Israel Lobby and starting to put pressure on both sides to make peace. But nothing's going to happen if supporters of Israel just start in with the name-calling everytime they're challenged about anything. That old dog don't hunt no more... |

On Ben Stein Vs Ron Paul from an ISRAELI website: When I watched these remarks form Ben Stein I was simply outraged. I am sick and tired of the fact that everyone that is against a blind continuation of the “War on Terror” being labeled as anti- Semitic. http://israelfinancialexpert.b...mitic.html The fact one wants to stop the war in Iraq doesn’t make him anti-Israel or anti-Semitic The fact one wants to stop the war in Afghanistan doesn’t make him an anti-Israel or anti-Semitic The fact one wants to stop foreign aid doesn’t make him an anti-Israel or anti-Semitic The fact one is for a policy of non intervention doesn’t make him an anti-Israel or anti-Semitic. The fact one wants Israel to leave the West Bank doesn’t make him an anti-Israel or anti-Semitic I am a Jewish Israeli so I fell quite sure that no one can blame me of being anti-Semitic and I say to you very loud and clear: I support Ron Paul (See: The Financial Expert supports Ron Paul: Why a policy of non intervention is good for the U.S Israel and the rest of the world ) Saying that the occupation in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the West Bank is motivating terror is a simple fact and not a justification of the actions of the terrorists. Here is a simple fact: money printing and inflation bring poverty that makes crime more likely. By saying that am I supporting crime? No. Anyone that does a crime needs to go to jail and terriosts that murder innocent people deserve to die but fighting endless wars only encourages them and doesn’t help by any means to stop terrorism. When you print money like crazy and impoverish the low and middle class don’t be surprised if you wake up with crime rates like in Brazil, Zimbabwe or Argentina. And when you carpet bomb villages don’t be surprised if you find out that millions worldwide have now become your new enemies. |
