Knives Out for Ben Stein

No more Foleying around -- an onslaught of fresh responses to "Hypocrisy, Democrat Style."

(Page 6 of 16)

/p>

The lengths to which right-wing apologists like Mr. Stein go to in their attempts to demonize the left is absolutely amazing.

Mr. Stein tries to compare Mark Foley's attempted seduction of an underage person with Bill Clinton's sexual escapade. How convenient for Mr. Stein to have forgotten that Clinton's actions were completely legal: Ms. Lewinsky was a consenting adult; further, she initiated the affair. On the other hand, Mr. Foley's actions were illegal; his prey was underage.

If Mr. Stein really believes that the constituency of the Democrats is primarily gays, lesbians, and the teachers' unions, he simply out of touch with reality. I doubt that he believes it, though; he merely ignores truth and facts in order to inflame.

And no, Mr. Stein, it does not come as a surprise to me that you promulgate the lie that a big part of male homosexual behavior is interest in young boys; you have demonstrated more than once that you care not one whit for honest exposition.

"Don't get me wrong. My very best friend is gay." I believe that the original is, "Don't get me wrong. Some of my best friends are Jewish." Gag! Pfui!

The issue, Mr. Stein, is not whether Mr. Foley is gay. The issue is that Mr. Foley, who supposedly championed against sexual exploitation of children, is in actuality the very kind of exploiter that he is on record as abhorring. But right-wing hypocrites such as yourself refuse to acknowledge that fact.

As for George Allen, his possession of a Confederate flag is not the issue; the issue is his racist words and actions. To present the objections to him as being about that flag is ingenuous, but that is to be expected of you.

p>No, Mr. Stein; for sheer hypocrisy, the winner is not the Democratic Party; is you. br> -- Michelle Steiner br> Chandler, Arizona /p> p> You fool no one, Mr. Stein. br> --
