Famed neurosurgeon and potential GOP presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson had an interesting way of celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s legacy on the civil rights leader’s birthday and the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Voting Rights Act. The Tea Party’s favorite Uncle Tom was invited onto C-Span to celebrate MLK Day and to talk about Dr. King’s legacy and the Civil Rights Movement, and boy did he celebrate....

Well, as a black American myself, I can only guess that this caller was either a) an Uncle Tom like Dr. Carson is himself, or b) a completely out-of-touch white person who sincerely believes that Dr. Ben Carson is in any way good for members of the black community at large.

As if that weren’t bad enough, Dr. Carson responded by saying not to worry about President Obama’s actions as the first black President hurting the chances of another one being elected, because Obama isn’t really black anyway. He said:

“People say there probably won’t be another black president in our lifetime because of all the things that have happened under the first one. But my answer to that is, isn’t he half white?”

4. No. Super intelligent fundamentalist overwhelmed by the falsehoods of his extremist form of religion

Religion is the reason for the hateful season.
But because he is a "Christian" extremist such talk is blasphemy.

But one can talk religion regarding Obama because....well, we all know why...to the fundies there is no obvious hypocrisy.

6. Sounds like he is jealous and wants to be half white too.

Let's make him happy and tell him Johnny Carson is his cousin.

12. And yet there is a sting in that exclusion

that always leaves me feeling like I am neither fish nor fowl.

5. Yeah, because that "He's half white" thing has worked so well in this country's history.

Carson is beyond being an idiot. He's a full-scale malignancy on present-day politics.

and they gain no traction, even much from Repubs.
