Fer fucking fucks sake!

...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.

Yah I saw that too that's.. wow...

like if you're gonna pick the worst ppl you can think of that identify with a group, Christians and religious ppl are hardly exempt from having ppl who identified as them who committed horrific acts right?

Srsly... he believes science led to the holocaust? D: And that horrible atrocities is ultimately where science leads? :( Science is a tool, and like all tools it can be used to help or to harm.. but simply b/c ppl can use it to harm doesn't make it evil :(

You know what's sad? I used to like Stein. :(

So did I. I mean he's a former Nixon staffer and conservative, but I didn't think he was actually CRAZY until he decided to save ID from us Wicked Science Folk...

I know. I am so disappointed too.

Someone pointed out he may have to quit mugging for Clear Eyes since they're, y'know, scientific eyedrops that get the red out. Wow.

I too fall into the "really liked Ben Stien and thought he was reasonable sane" bandwagon until now.

Completely Crazy.

This is just one of a number of crazy articles he's been writing over the last few years. I really liked him too, but the comments he's made have been infuriating to say the least.
