Ben Stein is a failed economist, failed comedian, failed actor and now he is showing that he is a failure of recent history. There is only one thing Ben Stein is good at and that is: pushing the failed rightwinged BS lies and distortions.
Take, for example, Stein's BS lie that he told to Steve Malzberg (as reported on DKos):
Stein finished by claiming that in Brown's case, as well as Trayvon Martin's, "it's the very large, so-called victim attacking the policeman who winds up dead."
"I mean if they didn't just, would not attack the policeman, if they would just talk to the policeman in a reasonable way instead of attacking the policeman, nobody would be dead," Stein said.
Ok, Ben Stupid-Stein, Trayvon Martin was not killed by a police officer. Trayvon Martin was killed by a no good, worthless thug named: George Zimmerman.
So, "why" are the rightwingers pushing their "Oh god, those large black unarmed teenagers aren't really unarmed, cuz ... you know ... they're so big and black that they are the weapon."
ANSWER: Because, the rightwingers are pissed that Michael Brown was an unarmed teenager gunned down by Officer Darrel Wilson.
That's right, the rightwingers are so pissed that Michael Brown was unarmed that they are spreading BS lies so as to give the BS illusion that "hey, all 'big' black teenagers are always armed because those 'big' AND 'black teenagers are the weapon.;"
Ben Stein's fellow Rightwing nutcase, Linda Chavez rang the bell to pretend black teenagers are, in fact, weapons in and of themselves.
Let’s start with the “unarmed black teenager” mantra.
Brown was 18 years old — an adult by all legal standards. He was also 6 feet 4 inches tall and weighed nearly 300 pounds.
~excerpt from Linda Chavez op-ed in Rupert Murdoch's New York Post.
"
mantra" ... it's not a "mantra" it's called a fact you ignorant Murdoch employee!
It is complete BS and 100% bigoted to say that a "big" black teenager "is a weapon" just because he is "big" and "black"
But, to make matters worse, not only is Ben Stein taking up the BS rightwinged nutcase bigoted mantra that black teenagers are weapons so therefore no black teenager is ever really unarmed, he makes matters worse by lying about Trayvon Martin.
So, Ben Stein I say, read this and LEARN!
George Zimmerman shot and killed Trayvon Martin. Detective Serino also told Zimmerman he had no authority to "stop" Trayvon - let alone kill - Trayvon.
DETECTIVE: you don’t have the authority to go ahead and do the stop legally. You follow, I mean.
ZIMMERMAN: Sure
DETECTIVE: You’re working under the color of an absolutely private citizen.
ZIMMERMAN: Yes.
DETECTIVE: And, but then again, we can make citizens’ arrests all day long. I mean, for felonies. Problem was that this child was not committing a felony at the time. He was just walking.
ZIMMERMAN: Yes.
Serino told Zimmerman that Trayvon Martin had every right to fear for his own life because of the manner Zimmerman was searching for and ultimately found Martin after Martin had already been running away from him.
SERINO
OK, so by not, were you, your job’s not to really to do anything at all when it comes to that kind of, it wasn’t your job to monitor him either. I mean, had that been done, and that’s, you know, and from our vantage point, you’ve had 2 opportunities to identify yourself as somebody who was actually not meaning to do him harm. Problem being, is that we’re visiting in his mind’s eye, which I can’t get into because he’s passed, that he perceives you as a threat. OK, he perceives you as a threat, he has every right to go and defend himself, especially when you reach into your pocket to grab a cell phone. OK, where I’m gravitating to here is to say that I guess that, this, could that have been a possibility for him getting so enraged at you? What do you think his mindset was? I’m telling you right now, the kid has no violent background, no violent tendencies that we can find, um, what made him snap? He’s not on drugs, um, can you fill in that blank?
Zimmerman was not merely "
following" Trayvon, rather he was searching for Trayvon with malice against Martin of whom he had already described as an
"asshole" prior to Trayvon Martin "running" away from Zimmerman.
While actively searching for Trayvon, Zimmerman called Trayvon a "Fucking Coon, Goon or punk." After Zimmerman killed Trayvon Martin, we learned through his interviews with detectives and his written statement that, before, during and after Zimmerman's searched for and found Martin, in Zimmerman's mind that night Trayvon was "the unarmed, asshole, teenage, punk, suspect" who "vandalizes neighborhoods" who needed to be "restrained" even after Zimmerman killed him.
ZIMMERMAN: I was on top of him, straddling him, he was face down, when he kept hitting me in the face it felt like something was in his hands, so I thought he had a weapon, so I grabbed his hands and pushed them away from his body, and I said, "STOP! Don't move." He was saying something like "ahhhh ahhhhh and cursing" and I said, "STOP, don't move" and then somebody came and had a flashlight and I thought was a cop and I said - oh and I still had my gun in my hand as I was holding his hands apart and I said are you a cop he said "no" but I'll call them. I said, "I don't need you to do that I need you to help me restrain this guy."
George Zimmerman is a thug who followed and killed Trayvon Martin even after he was told by Police Dispatch NOT to follow Trayvon.
"The dispatcher told me not to follow the suspect & that an officer was in route."
~Excerpt from Zimmerman's written statement 2/26/2012
Ben Stein, if you are reading this, do you see why I say
you are an ignorant MFer as Trayvon Martin was not killed by a police officer. Trayvon Martin was killed by a THUG ... a low-rent, worthless THUG named George Zimmerman.
Oh, and, George Zimmeran was such a big piece of shit even before he killed Trayvon Martin that the Police Department turned his worthless ass down when he applied to become a cop.
