CBS: Ben Stein Slams CNN’s Carville for Calling 9/12 Protestors ‘Classless’
NewsBusters ^ | September 21, 2009 | Kyle Drennen

Posted on 09/21/2009 1:43:37 PM PDT by 50mm

Appearing on CBS’s Sunday Morning, commentator Ben Stein ripped into CNN political analyst James Carville for claiming anti-Obama protestors were "classless": "the elitist anger of the liberal Democrats is boiling over as some ordinary citizens show they don’t like being pushed around....Contempt for the ordinary citizen is just not American and it does not win elections."

Earlier in his commentary, Stein wondered: "I thought the Democrats were the party of the little guys and those who aren’t classy or well born...So now the Democrats are admitting they’re the party of the rich?" He went on to point out that Democrats have "been getting the lion’s share of very large political gifts for years now. The truth is that the Democrats are the fat cats. I’m impressed that Mr. Carville admitted it. I like him more than ever now."

Stein continued: "I was also interested to see that Mr. Carville, a mere lad of 64, same age as I am, has made fun of the age of the tea party attendees." A clip was played of Carville declaring: " I mean they had every old crank in the country out there." Stein observed: "So now the Democrats don’t think the opinions of senior citizens are worth anything more than ridicule?"

Sounds like CNN wants a class war.

They should be careful what they wish for.

The modern MSM:

To know someone, look at what they do - not what they say

It’s always enlightening to know how those in “power” positions really are, and how they really treat people.

Thanks for posting. I’ll remember that tidbit.

>>>Carville calling anyone “classless” is amusing.

A pot-kettle moment for sure :)

The Carville’s have been inbreeding for generations, they are white trash!

If you are ever “fortunate” enough to have him on your flight, use a bit of that authority you’ll have over him, and throw him off the flight for being rude, abnoxious and disruptive to the crew and passengers. Even if he wasn’t being rude and obnoxious, he will be, and he’ll put on a good show for security when you call them to physically remove him. Don’t forget to take pictures.

You should have had his arrogant ass thrown off the aircraft.

Let him hitchhike the rest of the way to the West Coast.

What Mary Matalin sees in him I’ll never know.

Thank-you for posting.

Good for the Carville family! I knew there was a Leper clinic in LA, I just didn't know where. They are to be commended for their willingness to house and treat patients of this often debilitating disease.

James is still a serpent-head, though. ;o)

Ben Stein’s a good man. A hell of a lot better than Carville.

Thank you for that story.

But absolutely nothing you related is any great surprise to me.

Who can be more classless than the Arkansas double-wide contingent?

How about what does anyone see in MM if married to this arrogant prick? But he's a friend of the wallbanger ( Shamnity)
