From The Daily Paul.....
Well we know what we need to do...here is his personal agents info:
Ben Stein works through all lecture agencies. Ben’s personal speaking agent is Marcia Hurwitz. Call her at 310-656-5171, or email her at MARCIA@IALA.COM.

Let these thugs know that we have Ron Paul's back!
Please be respectful, or you will likely do more harm than good.

Deliberate liars on the other hand should be called out as such. What would you have us write to Mr. Stein?
"Dear Ben. I beg to differ with your assessment....blah...blah...blah"
Please....Ron just called Stein an "embarassment" on national TV. So why should we say anything less than Ron.
Has anyone tried calling his agent?
Want Ben to speak for you?
1) Call your lecture agency.
OR
2) E-mail Ben Stein at benstein99@aol.com.
OR
3) Contact Marcia Hurwitz, Ben's agent, via e-mail at marcia@iala.com or via phone at (310) 656-5171.
I agree.. in terms of how Ron Paul handled it.. he took the high road.Quote:

And that was in fact an embarrassment and that he should issue an apology to Ron Paul.

You will become the example for anyone who wants to paint every Ron Paul supporter as a total angry whackjob. That is why things should be written out in coherent, respectful ways, versus just spewing hatred and obscenities.Quote:

Thats a pretty nasty thing to call someone on national TV...and Ron was right to do so.
Do you really think the like of Stein are going to be moved by the logic of a cohesive argument, presented in a civil way???
I dont advocate sending obscene letters and threats....but there is nothing wrong with writing and calling Stein a LIAR...or an EMBARASSMENT..or an ISRAEL FIRSTER.
There's a time for civility....and there's a time to call a spade a spade....like Ron just did.
I suppose you missed the words "on their own." If you're simply going to write the man a note that says "zomgz u r a embarassmant!111" then it's not going to make it to his desk, let alone make any sort of impression other than playing directly into the stereotype of the "kook" supporter. If you can back up your claim with facts, evidence, and coherent arguments, then you've won, even if the message meets the delete button just as early.Quote:

Just ask them why Ben called Ron anti-semitic. Two possible reasons. (a) The occupation of Iraq/Afghanistan is for Israeli benefit. (b) Israel is occupying Palestinian land.
Ben Stein isn't a Jew. He's a zionist pig. There's a big difference. He's no different than a fundamental islamic terrorist.
