Dr. Carson Banned from a Commencement Speech? - By John Fund - The Corner - National Review Online
It shows how low the leftists really are. You couldn't find a better person, a more gifted man, or a person of better character, or more esteemed.

This is the bunch that claim not to be prejudiced, as well. Dr. Carson, a black man, has been called a "token", and an "Uncle Tom" by these "tolerant" leftists.

This is a man who operates on childrens brains (as well as others), and saves their lives. A woman caller to the Rush Limbaugh show one day a week or so ago, said Dr. Carson is exactly the man he appears to be in public; compassionate, soft spoken, self assured, and tender hearted. He saved her daughters life. She described how he calmed her daughters fears about the surgery, speaking softly to her in a loving and caring way, explaining what he was going to do.

They will someday pay for their ignorance. Let's hope this is the time.

Dr Carson is black? What relevance does that have to the issue?

If you like Dr. Carson, that's fine, but let's quit with all the hyperbole virtually proclaiming him as a second Martin Luther King type figure. He's just an intellectual enjoying fifteen minutes of fame.

There is absolutely nothing wrong or offensive in that statement! He is completely right. The mentioned groups do not have the right to change the definition [of marriage]. The definition is what it is.

This is tyranny by the minority. All freedom loving people should stand against it!

Just the kind of graduates we need to become the nation's doctors. Won't listen to what anyone else has to say. They must have done well in the critical thinking department.

That's the part they don't get... they only listen to what their peers want them to hear.

IF he was as esteemed as you allege, the students would want him to speak, eh?

Or is that just a bit too logical to fit in with your 'the leftists " whine?

Isn't that view of Mr Carson in itself bigoted?

bigot defined -
"stubborn and complete intolerance of any creed, belief, or opinion that differs from one's own."
He's not intolerant, he just says they don't get to change the definition.

People who can't hear what he said are the problem. Uh..........the problem is NOT Dr. Carson.

Everything he says will be twisted by inept brains. And the extreme low IQ will fall for it.

Works for me. I rather liked the good old days before political correctness ruined America.

I don't know if you have much experience with commencements, but they are not political conventions, or soap boxes, or "free speech". They are about the students who are graduating. As such it shouldn't be about the speaker it should be about the graduates and if they don't want him they don't want him. Even Carson understands this.
