Ben Stein is basically evil

“When we just saw that man, I think it was Mr. Myers [i.e. biologist P.Z. Myers], talking about how great scientists were, I was thinking to myself the last time any of my relatives saw scientists telling them what to do they were telling them to go to the showers to get gassed … that was horrifying beyond words, and that’s where science — in my opinion, this is just an opinion — that’s where science leads you.”

-Ben Stein, in an interview with Trinity Broadcasting Network

The thing is, Stein knows better. He knows better. And that’s what gets me so angry.

I’m just so tired of putting up with this nonsense. Terri Schiavo was just napping. The earth is 4,000 years old. Evolution is a conspiracy. Science is faith. HIV does not cause AIDS. Global warming is a conspiracy. Anyone who’s ever read a book not on Oprah’s list is an elitist. Racism doesn’t exist. We didn’t invade Iraq. We found WMDs in Iraq. George W. Bush is a genius. Gay marriage will destroy the family. Michael Moore has blood on his hands. Barack Obama is a Muslim. Barack Obama is a Marxist. Liberals are fascists.

What exactly is wrong with us? Why are we like this? I honestly would like the answer.

UPDATE: Here’s a puppet with some thoughts on Ben Stein.
