Did anyone see that DUMB FUCK BEN STEIN*, YES DUMB FUCK on CNN just now claim. . .

[wndycty]

. . .that more Republicans pay income taxes than Democrats and that is why they are against health care reform?

Wolf's dumb ass didn't call him on, Donna Brazille had to.

*Edited to reflect that the Dumb Fuck in question was Ben Stein

[Jennicut]

1. Ben Stein? Is that the best they could get?

[Bolo Boffin]

3. That "free credit report" pushing, "Expelled" pimping, former Nixon speechwriter MFer?

Jeez...

[SemiCharmedQuark]

18. Don't forget his pimping of Clear Eyes and Comcast

[Mopar151]

25. The Shemp Howard of intellectuals. n/t

[muffin1]

2. If you're going to say DUMB FUCK, you will have to be more specific.

:rofl:

I didn't see it, though. I have summit fatigue - been watching all day.

Wolf never calls ANY repuke on ANYTHING. He and CNN suck.

[zulchzulu]

4. Ben Stein is a friggin's asshat clown n/t

[RaleighNCDUer]

5. It seems to me that, seeing as how there are fewer Republicans to begin with,

there are fewer Republicans paying income taxes.

And while there may be (but not necessarily) more Democrats with incomes too low to have to pay income taxes, they would be balanced by those Republicans whose incomes are high enough to be able to get away with hiding their income, using tax shelters and paying high priced accountants to find ways to keep them from paying taxes.

And, what does that have to do with health care reform anyway?

[dgibby]

23. What he actually said was

a higher PERCENTAGE of repubicans pay vs percentage of democrats. Of course, he didn't provide any proof for that, and of course, Wolf didn't ask for any. I was screaming "Link, you asshole, Link"! He wouldn't last 5sec on DU!

I googled it, but haven't found anything yet.

[Raine]

6. What a lying shit for brains

and that half-witted Wolf Blizter was actually going to go along with it. Thankfully Donna Brazil jumped in and refused to accept that shit!!! :mad:

[TheCowsCameHome]

7. Simply add "DF" before the person's name.

It's a real timesaver.

[HughMoran]

8. Ben Stein thinks he can lie because he's supposedly 'intelligent'

Nope, you're just another right-wing liar (I know, redundant.)

[Captain Hilts]

9. The vast majority of United Statesians pay more in PAYROLL taxes than INCOME taxes, so, he's right!

Payroll taxes are very regressive.

[Warren Stupidity]

11. it wasn't dollar amounts it was head count

as in 3 republicans pay income taxes but only 2 democrats. Stein (dumb fuck) is an idiot.

[Captain Hilts]

22. His father was a good man who worried about income inequality. Ben's an overpaid

rich kid.

Yeah, Republicans used to worry about stuff like income inequality, before RR convinced them the poor are poor because they deserve it.

[progressoid]

10. I hate to be the PC police but please don't use that term in connection with Ben Stein

Dumb Fucks find it offensive to be compared with him.

[Warren Stupidity]

13. go back to Dumbfuckistan

[TheCowsCameHome]

12. Every time I see him I have the urge to wrap a condom over his head.

He looks like a ****

[Cha]

19. LOL!

:rofl:

If I ever see him on tv that remote gets found and used so fast!

[flpoljunkie]

14. That's 'class friggin' warfare,' Ben!

[Vinca]

15. I wanted to jump through the television screen and go for his throat.

What a pompous asshole. I hope some poor, uninsured worker mowing his lawn for minimum wage gives him TB.

[Cha]

16. What did Donna Brazille say to his dumb lying ass?

Fucking asshole.

[Blue Owl]

17. Hey Ben, stick with your "Buehler... Buehler..." drivel...

...and leave the grown-ups alone while they're working on important things.

[vaberella]

20. Wolfe Blitzer is a fool with a porn star's name. n/t

[SemiCharmedQuark]

21. Don't drag porn into this! What has porn ever done to anyone?

[vaberella]

31. It's like the name Dirk Diggler...it's a porno name. n/t

[SemiCharmedQuark]

33. LOL

[Mopar151]

27. Names from a Cheech & Chong movie

"This is Wolf Blitzed at the White House, with our special correspondent, Ben Stoned"

[vaberella]

32. LOL. n/t

[rufus dog]

24. seeing that over 100k workers voted, in majority, for Kerry and Obama

I call BULLSHIT. Seeing that the top 1% have a lower total tax rate, I call BULLSHIT.

Democrats pay more, so fuck you Ben.

[Mythbuster]

26. Funny how CNN was trying to break away from

the discussion with the DUMB FUCK!! So now the GOP is saying "NO" because it's all their money? :rofl: The top 400 wealthiest in the country averaged paying 20% or less in income tax last year. I wonder how many of them were republicans? Dumb fucker. That was worse than one of them playing the race card. I would love to hear one of the Republicans at the summit blurt that assine statement out. :rofl:

[jody]

28. This doesn’t answer your question directly but it does give some indication if one assumes that

those with low incomes may not pay taxes.

Vote by Income
                      Obama    McCain
Under $15,000 (6%)     73%       25%
$15-30,000 (12%)       60%       37%
$30-50,000 (19%)       55%       43%

30. Lunatic comment flat out....I did see it.

[47of74]

34. As someone who pays taxes and is totally FOR health care reform..

I have this to say to Ben Stein;



And the farm animal he rode in on too!

[Zoeisright]

35. He is so goddamned stupid.

I mean, in 'Dave' he was on the WRONG SIDE. Could he not see that? His character was supporting the EVIL GUY.

He's such a revolting little troll.

[denimgirly]

36. I thought Republicans HATE Jewish people? I guess Stien didnt get the memo.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

38. It's referred to as "Self-Loathing"

Stein and Michael Steele are in the same therapy group.

[Cha]

37. KR

39. CNN Is THE Laziest News Programming On TV

Republicans can say whatever the hell they want, and they never get challenged! NEVER!
