Saul Alinsky told liberal activists that they have to marginalize any enemy and they view both these men as opponents for 2016 so they are working hard.
Got any proof of these claims?

I thought he was intelligent and well spoken. He made so much sense. Anyone that bashes anything he said is simply ignorant.

This guy makes too much sense for the average liberal.

Immediately, just read some of the post on here. Any black person who dare get off the liberal plantation or go against the liberal God Obama WILL be attacked.

So, I went looking for some of this media hatred, etc. that so many in this thread are sure would occur directly after the speech and, have to say, I didn't find anything from the usual "liberal" sources, but, I did find this, from a very conservative source.

"I am no fan of the president's policies, but the National Prayer Breakfast is billed as one of the few nonpolitical events in a very political city.
...
His remarks were inappropriate for the occasion. It would have been just as inappropriate had he praised the president's policies. The president had a right to expect a different message about another Kingdom. "

Dr. Ben Carson should apologize to President Obama | Fox News

With that noted, it seems to me that all of these new-found supporters are using Dr. Carson as the vehicle for their own dislike, maybe even hatred, of the president's policies. Had he adhered to the structure of the day, most would not have even noticed that he was the key-note speaker. The fact that they want to now use this man for their own purposes just comes across as crass and self-serving. It is an insult to what he has accomplished and is cheapened even further by his, as characterized in the link above, "doing "victory laps"" due to the response.
Of course, this too shall pass, though I find it extremely unfortunate that people seem so willing to sell themselves and their integrity for that 15 minutes.
