If there were an Academy Award for Hypocrisy, the surefire favorite for 2006 would be the Democratic Party. Just two recent items make the decision a virtual certainty:
The Representative Foley "scandal" is really worthy of a whole book on hypocrisy. On the one hand, we have a poor misguided Republican man who had a romantic thing for young boys. He sent them suggestive e-mail. I agree, that's not great. On the other hand, we have a Democratic party that worships (not likes, WORSHIPS) a man named Bill Clinton who did not send suggestive e-mails as far as we know, but who had a barely legal intern give him oral sex kneeling under his desk in the Oval Office while he talked on the phone to a Congressional Committee Chairman, took great pleasure in putting a cigar in her orifice and then smelling it and tasting it, and having her fellate him when in the sacred seat of power of the world's leading Republic. And the Democrats cheer themselves hoarse for him. His wife has a great shot at being our next President.
We have a Republican man in Congress who sent e-mails to teenage boys asking them what they were wearing, and an entire party, the Democrats, whose primary constituency, besides the teachers' unions, is homosexual men and lesbian women. I hope it won't come as a surprise to anyone that a big part of male homosexual behavior is interest in young boys. (Take a look at anyone renting Endless Summer next time you are at the video store.)
Don't get me wrong. My very best friend is gay. I have many gay friends and they are great people. But how the Democrats, the party of gays, can be coming down this hard on a MC who's gay is simply beyond belief. One of my top, favorite congressmen, Barney Frank, is openly gay. Might he say a word in defense of his fellow gay MC right about now? Hmm, I thought not.
Second, let's look at George Allen. Now, he's a bad guy because he has a Confederate flag. Let's get it straight. To millions of our fellow citizens, this flag has zero to do with racism. It is entirely about respect for a time of unbelievable horror in our society, The Civil War, and respect for men who fought so brilliantly for a cause that was unquestionably -- by decent standards -- a bad cause. Moreover, the stars and bars are a beautiful design and show nothing whatsoever about a person's views about non-whites. No one has suggested that George Allen did anything racist or anti-black in his work in the Senate or as Governor. For him to be judged by what historical relics he owns is pure thought crime.
But the hypocrisy comes in because the Democrats have as their dean in the Senate an actual former Klansman, Robert Byrd of West Virginia. In my very clear memory, the whole bulk of the senior Democrats routinely called blacks "nigras" and voted against any kind of civil rights laws, right down to anti-lynching laws. And this is the party that presumes to judge a man because he owns a Civil War artifact memorializing incredible American courage? Didn't we just recently have as President a Democrat from Georgia who was inches away from being a segregationist in his early career? And what did his state flag look like when he was governor? And George Allen is being judged by these people?
Again, for sheer hypocrisy, the winner is: the Democratic Party. Again.

"I hope it won't come as a surprise to anyone that a big part of male homosexual behavior is interest in young boys."
Patently untrue.
The APA has debunked this already.
The fact is that most pedophiles, especially those that go after young boys, are straight white men, usually married. Pedophilia actually has little to do with gender.
Besides, homosexuals have brain patterns and chemical/pheremonal reactions identical to straight members of the opposite sex. It's been all over the science journals and scientific news.
But, Mr. Stein, it is obvious you are not a scientist. You are an actor with a degree in economics. You have shown that you don't understand biology, cosmology, psychology, or any other branch of science you speak so authoritatively about. You are scorned and mocked by the scientific community at large. Even Bill Nye laughs at your misunderstanding of basic scientific concepts.

Ben Stein, you are doing a fabulous job. As a Gay Democrat masquerading as an anti-gay anti-science bigoted ignoramus, you do your party great service by showing us all exactly which venues are unable to tell reality from fiction, and fantasy from economic theory. Like the great Ann Coulter Hoax, the hoax you perpetuated on the producers of Expelled by saying that "science leads to killing people" delivered the proper message that the film was indeed about rejecting science itself. Indeed, as this article demonstrates, the prime example of homosexual men going after young men is a Republican, in an essay about how the Democrats are a party of pedophiles. What is brilliant about this approach is that readers who are sympathetic to your conclusion will eat it up, but come away only knowing of pedophilic republicans. Thanks for doing the job you do so well, *wink wink* you sheep in wolf's clothing!

If the chief Democratic Party constituencies were teachers unions and gays, they wouldn't be able to elect a dogcatcher in San Francisco. Here is a clue for the right: homosexuality is not that a big issue to Democrats. Most Democrats support civil liberties for homosexuals as a simple result of supporting civil liberties for everyone. That is all there is to it. Homosexuality is a big issue to the right. If gays and lesbians largely vote Democratic, its not because the Democratic Party is focused on homosexuality. It's because the GOP has demonized it.
Keep up the good work, Mr Stein.

Shame on the Democrats for electing these homosexuals to represent them.
Now don't get me wrong; my very best friend is a Democrat. But he's probably some kind of closet homo or something.

I'm going to take a wild guess and say that she knew exactly what she was doing in a "it takes two to tango" manner. I think you have mad cow disease and it's eating away at what's left of your brain.

Ben, the gay Republicans aren't laughed at for being gay, but rather for being outright hypocrites who push an anti-gay agenda in public, then solicit sex from male prostitutes behind their spouses' backs later.
It's dinsingenuous of you to try and stereotype that justly earned mockery by saying that the Dems hate ALL gay Republicans, indeed the ones who are openly gay (Lodge Republicans) should get nothing but praise for being steadfast believers in socially small government in a party that is leaning more and more away from its conservative roots and towards fascism.

When I came to this site, a little popup appeared asking me to donate money and trying to win my support by telling me that the "left" hates the American Spectator (I'd never even heard of this place before).
Considering the American Spectator saw fit to host a lying shill like Ben Stein (shame you couldn't get a job doing the singing for Freecreditreport.com, eh, Ben? Had to settle for a lesser scam site), who is free to babble and flaunt his bigotry with zero evidence to back it up* I suppose I can see why "the left" or any "right thinking" individual would dislike this site. I'm not going to say liberals are more predisposed to be truthful or reality based in their arguments, merely that the current face of the conservative party is more prone to lies, hyperbole and blatant paranoid conspiracy theories. One need only look to Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh and the town hall meetings for evidence of this.
* As someone in the comments already mentioned, if the Democratic party is comprised mainly of gays who are a minority, how did Obama get elected president? That requires a majority, you understand, Ben. Oh, wait, don't tell me. Do you or one of your new friends at this apparently very intellectually honest website have an explanation for that? Some dark plot by the villainous ACORN group, whose headquarters is located inside an active volcano and can only be defeated by the third act intervention of James Bond?
And most loathsome of all, your claim that homosexuality implies by its very nature an interest in young boys. It must be very easy for you to write these things. You need not do any research beyond your own prejudices and preconceptions. Besides, as you showed with Expelled, all current science today is just a vast liberal conspiracy full of lies, so you can disregard anything scientific that refutes your bigotry out of hand. How convenient for you and for those pitiable human shadows who read and appreciate your, ahem, "work."

And yeah... 2 centuries of slavery is in fact as bad as gassing 6 million Jews.

Er, uh, Ben, it's about MINORS, you idiot, not the fact that the Republican is gay. As is pointed out in a comment above, most pedophiles are straight white men. Why, by Ben's definition that means REPUBLICAN. Great logic Ben. Go back to giving away your money...NOT YOUR "thoughts"

Ben Stein, you are dead to me. I will always have Beuller, but I believe you were tragically killed in an automobile accident in the summer of 87, but quickly someone built a robot that functions the exact same way as you. As you normally sound like a robot with severe autism, anyhow, no one knew the difference. Your secret has been exposed and you, Steinbot 2000, are EXPELLED!
