This is only the latest in a long list of racial affronts by one of many former and current Republican officials.
Keep in mind that Ben Stein used to write speeches for Nixon… ‘Nuff said!
“What the White House is trying to do is racialize all politics and their especially trying to tell the Africa-American voter that the GOP is against letting them have a chance at a good life in this economy, and that’s just a complete lie,” he said. “I watch with fascination — with incredible fascination — all the stories about how the Democratic politicians, especially Hillary, are trying to whip up the African-American vote and say, ‘Oh the Republicans have policies against black people in terms of the economy.’ But there are no such policies.”
“It’s all a way to racialize voting in this country,” Stein continued. “This president is the most racist president there has ever been in America. He is purposely trying to use race to divide Americans.”

What a sad sad person Ben Stein has become.
I regret every minute I spent listening to him.
Stein is right on. What Obama has done in Ferguson is unconscionable — turning a street thug into a martyr in an attempt to gin up his political base. If more rioting and violence occur, it will be directly attributable to Obama and Holder.
