I agree. If his intention is to make the Republican party more attractive to Black Americans. Then this immature rhetoric is not going to work.

He is a highly educated man and very accomplished. I would assume that he could be a little more articulate than this. It's sort of embarrassing.

But I wonder if this is what happens when Republicans get into the national scene. Michael Steele was a great politician for Maryland. IMO. But when he was pushed into the National scene. He too started to follow the same script that they have all Black conservatives follow. He basically sold out. Now that he is reverting back to his normal self.

Very amusing.

Race has nothing to do with it, but Carson can't stop whining.

Can we think of a white politician who has likened gay rights to pedophilia and bestiality?

He will soon say something the ones who cheer him now don't agree with and that will be that. One Obama praise and he is back in the shadows.

It is the same thing, those are alternative lifestyles that are abnormal by definition.

Both have the same ancient lineage to Greece, Japan, Middle East and have been in and out of the cultural acceptance.

Homosexuality is a small percentage of the population, like bestials, pedos, polygamists and asexuals.

Is it just not trendy to speak anything remotely ill of the homosexuals in 2013, like Islam, mothers who abort, etc.

The homosexual lifestyle is precisely as abnormal as the "left-handed lifestyle".

See what you're doing? Like me, and like the people who have been criticizing Carson's statements, you're responding based on the content of what he said.

You have perfectly disproved your original point. Race has nothing to do with it.

It's amusing that republicans think that the big threat to democrats is the latest black conservative to openly insult the vast majority of black voters. It didn't work with Herman Cain, it didn't work with Allen West, it didn't work with CL Bryant, it didn't work with Jesse Lee Peterson. Why on earth do you think it would work with Ben Carson?

So is bestiality, pedophilia, asexuality, transexuality and polygamy. I agree, they are akin to being left-handed or ambidextrous; where you looking to argue with me?
