ben stein : "it was science that led my cousins into the gas chamber"
 Edited on Sun Apr-13-08 01:13 PM by iamthebandfanman
i heard him say that on a morning christian show yesterday.
they were talking about science versus religion...

now, i know ben is a convservative jackass and all....but...

damn.
thats a lil out there.
he shames his 'cousins' by such a statement....
science didnt put them to death, the nazi(FASCIST) ideaology did.

anybody else hear him say it by chance?


EDIT: ive been looking around the net n found out he actually wrote a book about how science has persequted christianity...that explains it. i had no idea he was a religious nut until yesterday.

2. Invoking the Holocaust in the service of ignorance and untruth . . . 
 But I guess as long as more money makes its way into your bank account, that's A-OK with you, right Ben?

Because when we get right down to where the cheese binds and the panties twist, that's really all it is for you - gooood ol' all-American money, and how much of it you get, right?

What****ingever.


truely. What the **** are you talking about?

3. It was also science that U.S. consertives were using
 to push and implement eugenics with the Germans
the same people behind the planned coup against Roosevelt


Ladies and Gentlemen! Only Three posts and we're into it's America's Fault the NAZIS murdered the Jews.

7. You could just as easily say that business led them into the gas chambers-- or religion.
 The fact is, it was the Nazis who did it. The Nazis used religious mythology, science, business...

 Were they killed because of their religion? Most likely.

Ben Stein is being interviewed a lot lately, as I believe he has a movie coming out that discusses the evolution vs intelligent design debate.  I haven't seen any specifics, however I've heard that it does not treat liberalism well......

Totally off topic, but you need to listen to Tim Wilson.

Oustanding comic. Country, either from Tenn or Kentucy, obviously a Rebuplican, or at least a right-centered Libertarian.

He has a whole skit about various things about Israelis-as he married an Israeli woman.

My favorate one has to do with Pricess Diana running off with a "Damned Egyptian".

"Show me a place in the old testament where anything good happened to a 'damned Egyptian.' Hell, the Egyptians didn't even build the pyramids. The Jews built the pyramids!

(in a heavy southern Drawl), "Them jews sure doing a good job buildin' them pur'mids. Too bad thar, aint no meicans in Egypt, or we'd have a roof on that my mornin'."

Hey, you know what???? It was science that created Global Warming(TM)!  :o

I think Algore rips on the internal combustion engine, invented by science, in one of his rants.  And lets not forget the incandescent light bulb and the mercury poisoning solution to the light bulb.

Personally, I think it is liberal fascist ideology that actually creates Global Warming(TM).  But I'm just saying...

Impossible stupidity!  :argh:

As another DUer noted, it was the psudo-science of eugenics that the Nazis used. However it was not America's fault and it's supporters were overwhelmingly of the Left.

Nazis, fascists and American progressives -- including Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger -- all shared a belief in racial engineering through eugenics, and the alleged "need" for abortion and euthanasia it implied

"When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion - when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing - when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors - when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don't protect you against them, but protect them against you - when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice - you may know that your society is doomed."
