Ben Stein asks if Toyota car recalls are just a "phony problem like global warming?"

Wonder if Ben ever said one word about the bashing of the U.S. automobile companies? Guess bashing union companies are okay, but lets not bash all those hard working non-union guys, after all they make a better car.

Hey Ben old boy, go back to selling Credit Reports, you know the stuff the big credit agencies give out free once a year, and you try to tell people they need to pay for it.

Mr. Stein? I'm sure that the families of the 34 people killed by their Toyotas would agree that the problem is completely phony. Then they'd likely ask you if they could get a discount on Clear Eyes, or if you had given that up to work for a free credit report company, or if you were planning to retire now that you've sold your soul to the Devil himself.

And how many were killed in Toyota's "phony problem"?

I'd like for Ben to say that to the families of the 34 people who have died in these Toyota vehicles with faulty brake systems. You can always tell a coward when you see one. He/She is never willing to say things to peoples' faces that he/she is willing to sit in a studio and say on teevee.

I'd like to know why this guy even has a job! he's becoming increasingly more annoying as he ages.

Someone needs to ask Ben, how can this be a "phony" problem when even Toyota admits culpability?

Ooops, sorry, our bad

It is phony like the way Bush was "elected" in 2000?

Good thing Ben's here to warn us of real problems, like our children committing genocide because they weren't taught that Earth is 6,000 years old.

But wait! I thought listening to Hollyweird actors was stupid*!

* = Unless they agree with you, then it adds gravitas, the kind of gravitas one can only find in Stephen Baldwin or Morgan Brittany

Stein just has a problem with science.

He thinks science as to blame for the holocaust.

Totally serious, folks. I kid you not. Just goes to show you how crazy this guy is. But nuttiness never stopped FOX from using anyone as an "expert".

Interesting to watch right-wing, flag-waving "patriots" shill for a foreign car company. Hmm.

Ben Stein asks if Toyota car recalls are just a "phony problem like global warming?"

I dunno, Ben -- why don't you get behind the wheel of one, floor it, and tell us . . .

"I will make sure that we will never, ever blame the customer going forward." Toyota Motor Co. President Akio Toyoda addressing accusations that Toyota blamed user error for it's cars' braking malfunctions (Wall Street Journal, Thursday).

Btw, Ben Stein is beyond repulsive.

Listen, all you Toyota bashers, just do a google search for Ford cruise control fires, a problem they have had for over 5 years, and not a peep about this in the news, or on capital hill. All these investigations of Toyota started happening after the government invested money in the big three, seems like more than a coincidence to me. Oh, and something you forget, Toyota is responsible for the incomes of hundreds of thousands of workers here in the United States, in one way or another, and what will happen to the economy if all those people lose their jobs over this. Think, if you don't panic when your throttle sticks, you can just turn off the ignition. What do you do when your house catch's fire in the middle of the night, because your Ford cruise control has caught fire in your garage. And this is just the truth, and has not political motivation whatsoever. If fact, it galls me to have to agree with any repuke, but the truth is the truth.

More evidence of the disgusting lust & endless faith that conservatives have in corporations. They can do no wrong.

But watch out for that evil all-bad govt getting in the way of automakers killing people driving their faulty products ...

My opinion of Ben Stein's intelligence seems to be inversely proportional to the amount of time he talks. He seems to have all of these unfounded unscientific opinions. Does he read the newspapers? Apparently not.


He should work for Fox news or the Creation museum.

What did Stein use to "install" his floormats? Probably paid some dude $175 to do it for him. What a goober.
