Wow! You must be very good friends with him.
Your post makes zero sense, Dale. Try reading more slowly next time.

Who knew!

For which office is he running?

At least Dr. Carson didn't call a room full of military people "corpses".
If you think that someone has to be running for an office to be involved in politics, you are woefully ignorant about what it means to be involved in politics.

Your goofy comment clearly indicates Dr. Carson was going to talk about homos and beasts.

Glad to see that Carson did the right thing for the graduates, who deserve to have their day be about them and not some stupid comparison between homosexuality and bestiality

It's your comment. Own it.

The head of pediatirc neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins University is an idiot. HAHA, I guess if he sat in his underwear in his moms basement blogging about "idiots" all day, then surely he would be an intellectual.

I never made the suggestion that he would be talking about the stupid comparison that he ALREADY made again in his commencement address. That would be ludicrous!! Carson already apologized for the comment. Why would he make it again and at the commencement ceremony of all places? By gracefully bowing out, he has once again allowed the focus to be on the graduates, which is why I said:

Seriously, Dale. You are losing it. Turn off the cable news shows for a while and actually read what people write, instead of reading everything through the lens of your propaganda.

He plays well with the FOX crowd, but graduates of an esteemed academic institution?

Um....not so much.
You do realize Carson is the head of pediatric neurosurgery and has taught all of the medical school graduates at this esteemed academic institution?

Yeah, and FOX News needs to quit trying to make something out of him that he is not.

It's your comment. If he apologized, why can't you let it rest? Why is it even part of your post?

Never mind. You won't own it.

I do realize he made a buffonish statement. Perhaps you too think bestiality and homosexuality are in some way commensurate, but most think it better he not get up on stage and bring his personal invective into what should be a joyous and apolitical time. The good doctor had his 15 minutes with Pres. Obama, and it has continued on with FOX News.

As if those that engage in such lifestyles ever care about others! They have pushed their agenda as far as they can without caring one bit about anybody else.
It's about equality, period. And if you care way too much about other peoples' private lives that way, that's your problem.
