Ben Stein: But Didn’t You See Michael Brown Was BLACK?

In a very important Newsmax interview that we won’t see a red cent out of your clicking on, former game show host and one-memorable-role actor Ben Stein courageously took on the myth that Michael Brown was an “unarmed teen,” because, as he told interviewer Steve Malzberg, Michael Brown had a weapon as deadly as any shiv or zip gun:

“The idea of calling this poor man ‘unarmed’ when he was six-foot-four, 300 pounds, full of muscles, apparently — from what I read in the New York Times — on marijuana, to call him unarmed is like calling Sonny Liston unarmed or Cassius Clay unarmed. I mean, this… he wasn’t unarmed. He was armed with his incredibly strong, scary self.”

And let’s be clear — the Founders wanted us to have guns. But the Constitution of the United States says nothing about anyone having the right to be a big black buck with brow ridges huge enough to crush Ben Stein with a single glance. Just being big and black makes you a suspect, frankly.

Also, asked Maalzberg, how about that Eric Holder? At the mention of the attorney general’s name, Stein emitted a pretty credible imitation of Lurch (the great Ted Cassidy) groaning. He is truly a master of political insight! But Holder’s presence in Ferguson proves that a fair trial is impossible for poor innocent victim Darren Wilson, who merely inactivated the deadly weapon known as Michael Brown. Why aren’t people building statues to him instead? But Holder is out to perform an actual lynching of Wilson, Stein explained:

There was a time, even in my youth … when lynchings of African Americans were not that incredibly rare. Now the lynchings are of the police, and it’s just an outrage! And by the way, notice that in both this case and in Trayvon (pronounced "Trə'VONN" by Stein -- Dok Z) Martin’s case, it’s the very large so-called “victim” attacking a policeman, who winds up dead, and if they had just talked to the policeman in a reasonable way, no one would be dead.

1. "talked to the policeman in a reasonable way" = talking while black.

8. Perhaps the cop should have talked to the young men in

A reasonable way. "Get the fuck out of the street." is no way to start a productive dialog.

Given the attitude of the police in that area to the protestors and reporters even when they knew they were being taped and/or on live feeds, the disrespect the cops there have toward the citizens is appalling. How can the cops expect people to cooperate when the cops treat everyone like trash?

2. if it served his purposes, stein would have labeled him "fat".

but that doesn't sound nearly as threatening to a cop, so he's "full of muscles".

which always struck me as a funny expression. i mean, he's got exactly the same number of muscles as scrawny little me. same number of bones as well. his are a bit bigger, that's all....

3. Armed means you have a gun...that's the common and accepted usage and meaning...

Scum like Stein are trying to re-invent the definition because he's a racist piece of shit.

4. Ben Stein is also armed. No muscles but armed none the less.

He has his swarmy self righteous voice, inflated pompous ego, that might lead others to wish to commit acts of violence on himself. Imagine for a moment punching him in the mouth and then he shuts up. You are then shocked by waves of guilt that you actually punched such a pathetic, fearful, putz.

5. "Cassius Clay"????? That right there says all that needs to be said, imo.

7. Excellent point.

Fuck Ben Stein

[Faux pas]

6. Crawl back under your rock

ben, we haven't missed hearing from you.

9. Zimmerman was a cop?

10. was he buying bread from a man in Brussels?
