Ben Stein is entitled to believe anything he wants but never again may he call himself a conservative
Alleged conservative Ben Stein revealed his bleeding-heart leftist self Wednesday on “Your World with Neil Cavuto” as he defended Jimmy Kimmel, his longtime personal friend.
Kimmel delivered a heart-wrenching monolog the other night about his newborn son who was born with a dangerous heart defect and needed emergency open-heart surgery. No one with blood coursing through his veins who watched it could fail to be moved as Kimmel passionately discussed his personal anguish about a loved one.
How’s his well-raised son, Tommy, doing, lol?!
I didn’t hear Stein’s comment on Kimmel. But Kimmel’s story about his son was sincere and heartfelt. It was when he transitioned to the anti Trump part that he lost me. I can understand his pain and the fear about his son’s situation. But, hey, he’s a typical knee jerk liberal. He can’t help but take the next step to blame evil Republicans. It’s what they do. That doesn’t take away from the sincere parental feelings regarding his son’s situation.
I live near Sandpoint, ID where Ben has a beachfront condo on Lake Pend Oreille. Locally he is known to be a real a-hole who exhibits inappropriate behavior towards young women.
It’s a long journey from “The Man Show” to anti-Trump celebrity ranting.

People can be so compassionate spending other people’s money.
A friend of my family attended High School (Montgomery Blair HS) with Ben Stein. She says he was not a very nice person ...
Man, Stein said all that? Stupid.
I am not moved when people use and exploit a personal tragedy to push and plea communist and socialist rules that will injure and murder far, far more people.
I was not moved. It’s a damn plea for socialism, the system designed to kill off people.
No sympathy. It was exploitative of his son. For frigging socialism.
Kimmy is apparently unaware that no one is denied life-saving treatment.
No one.
Ben Stein is an accused pedophile. A woman claims to have been sexually abused by Stein when she was 12:
One possibility is that Stein is being sincere. But that would mean he never truly understood conservative values.
The only alternative is that he’s lying. And in this scenario, Stein’s motive can only be dark and twisted.
He seems a confused individual. Access perhaps, but nowhere is an individual or his government representative given the right to take money from those that do not even know you to provide for your health care. Churches, charitable organizations, friends and family were in place to provide such assistance.
For the most part, the healthcare industry and the insurance marketplace should be left to develop workable solutions.
a good analysis IMO
What is it with these men who want tax payers to pay for what they should pay if they were truly compassionate men?
A compassionate man would not attack Trump but work really hard to help his child.
This is utter evil.
“Ben Stein is an accused pedophile.”
I read her account and all she accuses him of is stalking but then she also says she was using him to try to make money and then she claims her mother extorted money from Stein.
There is no actual claim of sexual abuse in her posting.
Even if the rest of what she says it true it isn’t proof that Stein is a pedophile. He was pretty stupid for hanging around some very troubled people but that’s not a crime.
And ..?
I stopped listening to this jackass when he said there was no housing bubble and that it was impossible for national home values to fall.
Stupid idiot. He is supposed to be some economic expert, and he couldn’t even see the massive housing bubble had to correct.
He lost all credibility then. I haven’t listened to a word this jackass has said since them. I consider him to be menteally deficient.
