Win Ben Stein's Derangement

Ben Stein, writing at the American Spectator, completely loses it over Obama in one of the most impressive examples of Obama Derangement Syndrome documented so far.

Why is President Barack Obama in such a hurry to get his socialized medicine bill passed?

Because he and his cunning circle realize some basic truths:

The American people in their unimaginable kindness and trust voted for a pig in a poke in 2008. They wanted so much to believe Barack Obama was somehow better and different from other ultra-leftists that they simply took him on faith.

They ignored his anti-white writings in his books. They ignored his quiet acceptance of hysterical anti-American diatribes by his minister, Jeremiah Wright.

They ignored his refusal to explain years at a time of his life as a student. They ignored his ultra-left record as a "community organizer," Illinois state legislator, and Senator.

The American people ignored his total zero of an academic record as a student and teacher, his complete lack of scholarship when he was being touted as a scholar.

Now, the American people are starting to wake up to the truth. Barack Obama is a super likeable super leftist, not a fan of this country, way, way too cozy with the terrorist leaders in the Middle East, way beyond naïveté, all the way into active destruction of our interests and our allies and our future.

And believe it or not, it actually gets worse from there. I mean, you have to stop and look at this train wreck, this is Ben Stein, a man clearly intelligent enough to know better, and he's using all the same old silly lies from the campaign all rolled into one Freeper post (and getting paid for it.) He's a socialist, he's a racist, he hates America, he's a mysterious cypher with no past, an academic zero ultra-leftist agitator and a terrorist sympathizer, but by gum, Ben Stein has him all sussed out, he does. This is pure, unalloyed screaming wingnut right here folks.

Stein presents no actual evidence of any of this of course, but apparently you don't need it, it's self-evident from the last several months, he argues. Really, shouldn't AmSpec be demanding a slightly better class of Wingnut out of the money they're giving Ben Stein? They could grab a random Cornerite and get this level of breathless nonsense.

In all seriousness, Ben Stein's a better person, a better writer and a better debater than this. Or, I used to think that, anyhow.
