Typical liberal hypocrisy.
If Obama was promoting the same things as Carson, he'd deserve it. I don't know if racism is apt though--more like "nutty."

I guess if you put yourself in the public sphere and then do and say things that make you look like an ignoramus, you get criticized.

To hide behind his race afterwards is shameful.

Well statistically speaking black people voted 90%+ for the most liberal POTUS the in my lifetime, and maybe ever.

He has exploded entitlements, especially targeted for vote-buying the poor.

One could logically conclude that the majority of black people are voting for a more entitlement happy party than the alternative.

He is not out of line, the blacks need to realize this status quo of section 8, crime, sh*tty futures, children in middle school, 10x wealth to whites, etc, etc is the best it will ever get under the thumb of socialist/liberals.

You can only lead a horse to water.

“They need to shut me up, they need to delegitimize me,” Carson told the radio host while explaining why he believes the media has scorned him for lumping homosexuality in with unsavory sexual acts like bestiality and pedophilia.

I think Ben Carson is having his palms so greased by Repukes, it's not even funny.

At first I thought he was a bit like women who are in favor of anti-woman ideas (such as proliferish notions that a woman's uterus is not hers), or maybe like a Jewish person who digs Nazis. I no longer think that. I think he's a self-hater, yes, but his palms are fully greased. Repukes do pay well those who do their bidding, and he's doing their bidding rather nicely!!! You go, Carson! Your palms are well-moisturized!

"I think one man is just as good as another so long as he's not a n*gger or a Chinaman. Uncle Will says that the Lord made a White man from dust, a n*gger from mud, then He threw up what was left and it came down a Chinaman. He does hate Chinese and Japs. So do I. It is race prejudice, I guess. But I am strongly of the opinion Negroes ought to be in Africa, Yellow men in Asia and White men in Europe and America."

-Harry Truman (1911) in a letter to his future wife Bess

"You cannot go to a 7-11 or Dunkin Donuts unless you have a slight Indian Accent." -Senator Joe Biden

Mahatma Gandhi "ran a gas station down in Saint Louis."

-Senator Hillary Clinton

Some junior high n*gger kicked Steve's ass while he was trying to help his brothers out; junior high or sophomore in high school. Whatever it was, Steve had the n*gger down. However it was, it was Steve's fault. He had the n*gger down, he let him up. The n*gger blindsided him."

-- Roger Clinton, the President's brother on audiotape

"You'd find these potentates from down in Africa, you know, rather than eating each other, they'd just come up and get a good square meal in Geneva." -- Fritz Hollings (D, S.C.)

When Colin Powell dares to suggest something other than what the master wants to hear, he will be turned back out to pasture." -- Harry Belafonte

The Klan is needed today as never before and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia .... It is necessary that the order be promoted immediately and in every state of the Union. Will you please inform me as to the possibilities of rebuilding the Klan in the Realm of W. Va .... I hope that you will find it convenient to answer my letter in regards to future possibilities."

-- Former Klansman and current US Senator Robert Byrd, a man who is referred to by many Democrats as the "conscience of the Senate", in a letter written in 1946, after he quit the KKK.

Well the one good thing about Ben Carson is this: he's basically making himself unelectable to much of anything but a House seat (if he's lucky).

He made his bones at the prayer breakfast, and after that he should've kept his profile lower and been more selective about where he speaks. If he keeps this up, he's gonna eventually say something so stupid that he won't be able to walk it back effectively.

So because he acted 'out of character', he was stupid?

Yes indeed. I think what the extremist authoritarian Repubs (teabaggers, et al) are doing right now, is excellent, and I do hope they keep it up.
