Ah, yet another poster of dubious intellect trying to illustrate how he is so much smarter than the neurosurgeon.
I'll grant you that Ben Carson was a neurosurgeon but you should not let that influence your judgement of his comments. A doctor does not get a free pass on idiotic remarks.

I wonder if these liberals know that the cops are just enforcing the laws that their supreme overlords (the almighty government) have enacted.

What law were those cops, who took Gray into custody, enforcing?

No idea. But then again I probably don't even know 70% of the laws that are on the books.

And Obama never said anything stupid/hypocritical?

I'll concede that Carson has some issues with filtering what he says. But considering that he's not a career politician, and in comparison to left wing, gaffe-tastic brain trusts like Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Sheila Jackson Lee, et al. , Ben Carson is a veritable fountain of wisdom.

Then your question should be directed at yourself instead of liberals, wouldn't you think?

What does Obama, Biden, Pelosi, Wasserman, etc. have to do with Ben Carson's remarks?

I've said some stupid things in my life and most people I know would hardly call me stupid (I hope!). However, there is a difference between saying someone said something stupid as you did here and saying a person IS stupid. Now, since I've completely overused the word 'stupid', I think mocking those two previous statements by other posters was well deserved. Disagree with someone - fine. Think someone said something 'stupid' - fine. But to call a top neurosurgeon stupid is well - stupid.

Other than they're all guilty of making comments that are far worse than anything Carson ever said, but the left never calls them out for it, much less call them stupid?

Not much really.

But maybe you should try listening to what the man actually says instead of getting your opinion of him spoon fed to you by MSNBC sound bites?

Just a thought......
