I'm not sure why Ben Carson thinks he shouldn't be held to the same standard as everyone else? If say something stupid, you will get called out for 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?
Because those two people were easily dismissed. The Pizza dude and a dumb soldier is easy to make go away.
A renown surgeon with undeniable college pedigree from the same school as the usual elites makes it a lot harder to defend.
Plus Cain and West weren't that great, they just go loud on a couple subjects and were business as usual.
The authors quote Reid as saying privately that Obama, as a black candidate, could be successful thanks, in part, to his "light-skinned" appearance and speaking patterns "with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one."
Substitute Harry Reid's reference to BO with Carson, and that is why he will be an impact.
He's a whiny little pissant, that he's black is irrelevant to that.
Speaking of whiny.
Point out where exactly I said there was a racist comment made, other than in you obviously biased imagination.
Additionally, that he is black is exactly on point. He is causing a fear factor among all of those oh so loving liberals (as long as one agree with them).
Perhaps weaning yourself off the obama juice would be of some help to you.
I love how quick the Cons are to turn this into a race issue, this isn't about race, it is about a guy whining because people criticized his opinion.
Perhaps you should take note that I stated (and have history as proof of it) that obama supporters would scream racism if the tables were turned. After all, they have on every other criticism of their savior.
Would it change your opinion of either man if you knew for sure?
It would certainly add knowledge to the forming of an opinion. The facts have a tendency to do that, if they are allowed to be known.

How is he a threat? He seems like any other far right nut who rejects reality and spouts hateful rhetoric to get attention.
I'd put him in the same camp as people like Alan Keyes, another far right conservative whackjob who, despite being well educated, still spouts off hateful nonsense on a regular basis and behaves like a child. How'd his political career work out? Oh right, he lost to none other Barack Obama by 43 points.
Hateful, Ann Coulter-ish rhetoric spewed by educated black people is only attractive to a fairly small segment of society.
The right does this over and over (Keyes, West, Cain (I'm hesitant to lump him in there, as he seems like a much better person than the other two), etc). They find someone who says all the ridiculous, divisive, hateful crap they say and conclude that they're a rising political rock star because they happen to be saying those things while being black. It almost never works out. The problem is the message itself, not the color of the skin or the credentials of the person who's saying it.
Aren't people tired yet of the racist Democrats calling every black person that doesn't toe their liberal ideology an "Uncle Tom", a "traitor to their race" ( really? how does one become a traitor to their own race if the party this race supports invented Jim Crow laws and worked against civil rights? ) or, my favorite, "token".
Yes, there's a lot of "token blacks" in the Republican party, LoL.
I guess you're headed over to Stormfront, then, to get your talking points. Check.
If I knew what that was, I may take issue with it.
