Ben Stein would've made a great Nazi

... had he had the opportunity, he would have been a wholehearted Nazi supporter. All his current public positions indicate the validity of such an assessment. And he wouldn't have had to believe in Darwinian evolution to be one, either. All he would have had to believe, or say he believed, was that Germany and the purity of its traditions were in danger from an internal elitist liberal enemy.

1. It's disgusting enough that he draws a line from Darwinism to Nazism

please don't draw a line from Judaism to Nazism trying to defeat it.

4. Nope, and the author is even aware of Godwin's Law

He's just plumbing the disgusting tiny mind of a very sick individual.

2. Idealogically, I would agree...

but wouldn't his Jewish heritage kind of been a serious roadblock to his joining the Nazi party?

6. "Stone-faced actor, commentator and financial writer Ben Stein has outdone himself. This is not a ..

.. compliment. The same fellow who dismissed the mortgage and credit crisis as nothing to be concerned about; the same fellow who shilled shamelessly for the West Coast fisheries industry just before the salmon season was called off due to dramatically diminished stocks (Stein exhorting us to "eat all you want"), now is behind one of the most disingenuous documentaries of the year ..."

The fellow is a shill
