 Stanford Magazine > November/December 2001 > Feature Story > It's All About Joel
“Joel Stein,” as portrayed in the columns, is desperate, awkward, porn-loving and obnoxious; Joel Stein, however, is worldly, knowledgeable, chummy with celebrities and in possession of an enormous expense account.
Joel Stein has definite big-shot potential—handsome, tall and slim, with fashionable short hair (freshly gelled for breakfast) and hip little glasses—but the potential was pretty much squandered.

 The Jawa Report: Joel Stein Might Have Gotten Enough But Now It's My Turn
Stein is entitled to his opinion and he's been a pretty good sport about the criticism he's received due to his editorial that bashes the troops.
Stein that there are people out there that actually support the troops and our wishes on a grander scale than he imagines (he might now since he's written his editorial).
Stein states, "An army of people making individual moral choices may be inefficient, but an army of people ignoring their morality is horrifying." I think that Joel Stein's lack of knowledge about military service shines through on this one.

 Villainous Company: Not Joel Stein's Kind Of Men   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Reading Joel Stein's column in the LA Times a few days ago, it was hard to know how to react.
Since Joel Stein doesn't know anyone in the military, or presumably their families, I thought it might be instructive for him to get to know some of those people he can't find it in his heart to support.
Stein is critical of what he calls ‘American imperialism.’ To borrow what he surely intended as a denigrating analogy, we can indeed see parallels in attitude if not government and conquest.

 Liberty Corner
Because (according to Stein) they really enlisted either (a) to advance their country's imperialistic ambitions or (b) because they were "tricked" into enlisting (by Bush, presumably) and persist in fighting even though (I'm reading between the lines here) they must by now be aware that they were "tricked." Got that?
(Stein never deigns to mention the possibility that the soldiers who serve in Iraq are executing a legal war in accordance with their contractual obligations, which they entered into because they chose to risk their lives in the defense of their country.)
Therefore -- even though Stein is willing to concede that the U.S. should honor its contractual obligations to those "immoral" soldiers (e.g., health care and pensions) -- it should not honor them with a parade because to do so would make traffic worse than it is already.

 My Very Brain: What Joel Stein Said
Courtesy of a pair of conservative sites (Instapundit and, again, the RCP Blog), I came across Joel Stein's commentary titled "Warriors and Wusses." While Stein's piece is more than a little tongue-in-cheek, that doesn't significantly alter the fact that he's fairly true throughout to his opening sentence, which reads:
In my case it means giving due respect to all veterans and thanking them for making the sacrifice of giving up a comfortable life doing what they want to go for in exchange for a life of doing what you're told and becoming a target.
Stein's column was an exercise in fl humor and sarcasm aimed at a public who is too numbed to understand it.

 Patterico’s Pontifications » Where Joel Stein Went Wrong   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Joel Stein says he’s “… not advocating that we spit on returning veterans like they did after the Vietnam War…” But, before you can decipher which “they” he’s scolding, there’s a call to deny returning troops public celebration.
Stein expressed his opinion–as is his right in the land of the free–but that opinion turned out to be a stupid one.
Stein writes (in a passage quoted by you): “An army of people making individual moral choices may be inefficient, but an army of people ignoring their morality is horrifying.” This sentence is incoherent.

Joel Stein said he has been "bombarded" by hate mail over the incendiary article -- which was headlined "Warriors and Wusses" and held that U.S. soldiers in Iraq were "ignoring their morality" -- but does not regret writing it and stands by the premise.
Stein said that, despite the fact that his e-mail address was not made public by the paper, he had received some 100 "hate e-mails" by noon.
Stein said he had long considered the issue and that whenever a politician opposes the war but supports the troops "I just always think they are covering their ass."

 Tman In Tennessee: Dumb, Dumber and Joel Stein
Perhaps you've heard of the latest kerfuffle involving one LA Times columnist, Joel Stein, and his recent editorial entitled "Warriors and wusses".
Joel thinks that if we support the troops then this will give the approval to the "hawks" in the administration to keep them there longer.
Which is why it is easy for me to look at Stein’s pseudo-philosophical bit of puffed-up provocateurism and call it what it is: the nadir of the me generation, and the ultimate passing of the buck.

Stein’s case we do need to cover his expression of stupidity.) Well he really wrote what will probably be the column of his lifetime and what was probably a CLM (Career Limiting Move) for him.
Stein would like the people who support the troops and not the war to do away with their “support the troops” bumper stickers and have no parades for people who are putting their lives on the line for America, if it is a war he does not like.
Joel Stein, who somehow thinks he’s being funny is actually expressing the truth about what the left really thinks about our troops.

LA Times columnist Joel Stein writes a column called Oy to the World where he ultimately says that he thinks there isn’t a war on Christmas.
Stein goes on to write, “In fact, Gibson and fellow Fox anchor Bill O'Reilly are so upset that they have organized a boycott of Target, Wal-Mart, Kmart, Sears and Costco for using the phrase "Happy Holidays" in their ads instead of "Merry Christmas." I'm guessing those places also stopped selling Brylcreem."
Stein goes on to say, “Jerry Falwell is supporting the catchy-named "Friend or Foe Christmas Campaign" that has lawyers ready to sue anyone who won't let them do Christmas wherever they want.

 Erich Martel, replies to Joel Stein on school governance, April 22, 2004
It is highly ironic that the cornerstone of New York City Schools Chancellor Joel Klein's argument in favor of the diminished authority and oversight for the DC Board of Education is the precept that accountability is central to successful school reform (Op-Ed, April 20).
Joel Klein is accountable to the Mayor, and the Mayor is accountable to no one.
The two have instead instituted unilaterally radically progressive, highly restrictive, unproven approaches to reading and mathematics instruction, elevated its staunchest proponents to new heights of administrative power, and (adding insult to injury) enlisted partisan others in the research and evaluation.

This is a patently absurd idea, and Joel Stein recognizes it.

 Dr. Sanity: Joel Stein Is An Old , Old Man
If there is a moron present, I somehow think that it is more likely to be the person who deems himself the arbiter of good taste and the high inquisitor appointed to oversee quality in literature.
Stein, you probably believe that just because the NY Times changed its entire book ranking system so it could exclude the Harry Potter books from the best- seller list (except for the "Children's Books" listing) that this gives you the moral authority to denigrate the audience of the book.
Stein would likely say that a "great" book is one that has little commercial success.

 The Shape of Days
So for Joel Stein to declare that he’s taking out his disapproval of the invasion itself by refusing to offer his support — either material or merely verbal — to our troops is utterly misguided.
His disapproval should be directed at the individuals responsible for making the decision with which he disagrees, not the individuals who were bound by duty and by law to carry that decision out.
And it’s more than Joel Stein is able to say for himself.
