Troy, thanks for writing about this. I suspect that they chickened out about screening the movie – but couldn’t they have sent you an e-mail?

On the Expelled Web site, the movie dates are back up but the contact info is still TBA. That way they can screen audience members and decide whom to admit, which is outside the scope of their privacy policy, if I read that page correctly.

Stein is a sellout to the Red Sea Pedestrian cause. I will never watch Ferris Bueller’s again because of his traitorous ways. He knows that Christ was not the Messiah. The only reason he did this propaganda bit is cuz he got paid. Well some things are more sacred than the almighty dollar Ben, your dignity for one.

This isn’t even the first time Ben Stein has fronted the idea that when liberals start huffing that crazy “truth” thing, God kills millions of innocent people. Quoting Wikipedia (it’s OK, it’s GFDL’ed!):

After Mark Felt’s identity as Deep Throat was revealed, Stein stated that Richard Nixon would have prevented the rise to power of the Khmer Rouge if he had not been forced to resign. Stein said “If there is such a thing as kharma, if there is such a thing as justice in this life or the next, Mark Felt has bought himself the worst future of any man on this earth. And Bob Woodward is right behind him, with Ben Bradlee bringing up the rear. Out of their smug arrogance and contempt, they hatched the worst nightmare imaginable: genocide”.

I guess Ford was too busy inventing the WIN button to take care of it later, or Nixon forgot to leave a note on the Oval Office fridge: “Don’t forget to prevent the rise to power of the Khmer Rouge!”

There seems to be something up lately, where they simply can’t show the movie, so I think you paid for something that was essentially canceled. Far be it for me to expect them to return the money…

Bad: Eh, audio of Steinian ranting would still be cool.

I'll be working on a place to put the audio for people to download.

Bad: Did you know that Stein was heavily involved in that kooky right-wing conspiracy theory about Bill Clinton supposedly killing tons of people in Arkansas? He even wrote the forward to one of the main books.

No I didn't. I was vaguely aware of Stein being involved in conservative issues but nothing about the details.

As I blogged a ways back, maybe instead of “From Darwin to Hitler” they should have called Expelled “Ben Stein: From One Kooky Conspiracy Theory to Another”

Response to Jammer – March 28, 2008
Meyer use to teach at the college I attended (not science by the way) the guy is a JOKE!

I’ve always wondered whether he was worth the money (SU? or SPU?) paid him. Is he still there? What did he try to teach? Did he constantly interject ID’ism into his classes (he was poly sci, wasn’t he?)?
