What a disgusting pile of shit. George Steph asked him about when he told the gunman at the restaurant that the cashier was the one he wanted.
Carson got as pissy as one can get and said it was a totally different situation and that taking the gunman down wouldn't have worked.
In other words....when it was his worthless ass on the line, he didn't hesitate to throw others under the bus.
And he had the gall to act insulted at George's question.

(26,060 posts)that hole. His comment about guns being able to save the Jews from the Holocaust had me wanting to punch something. Why isn't anyone pointing out that what would have really helped the Jews was if all those fucking Christians didn't round them up and hand them to hitler on a silver platter. THAT would have been way more helpful than a couple of armed Jews. Disgusting and cowardly piece of shit is right.

Carson is a lunatic and so are his supporters.

(22,920 posts)not to see that -- for rational people -- his Popeye's story is the perfect example of his almost obscene hypocrisy!
Geez, this guy is loathsome. And every single Republican I know loves him. Or Trump.
Insanity.

(38,449 posts)It resented being compared to this asshole, Ben Carson. Sh*t stands at a much higher level, over all,.. then this poor excuse for a human being. Sh*t has a positive purpose and is actually important in some ways.
This asshole is not. Now, the assholes of the world may complain about being compared to Ben Carson, but that indeed is another discussion..(one I hope to have at some future point) .

People tend to remember the exact date when someone sticks a gun in your ribs at a chicken joint.

(4,113 posts)Strange that no police report has surfaced to verify Carson's claim, as you state, Yaba.
And if it ever turns out that there was no such incident that Carson described, file it with the other RW bullshit that's been spewing, like Kim Davis' "meeting" with the Pope, and that Carly Fiorina is this master at running businesses, and on and on.

(37,162 posts)"All right, AFTER he turned, AFTER he was no longer sticking a gun in your ribs and was facing another direction... what did you do THEN?"
But George likes his paycheck, and keeps collecting it by not even thinking to ask questions like that.

(20,219 posts)He us just as clueless as Trump on all the issues and has his wacky religious beliefs tacked on. I really don't think that mainstream religious people blame things on Satan. Of course, secular people don't either.

(20,219 posts)I'm old enough to remember Chauncey Gardner. Carson seems almost like a savant - extremely talented in one thing but a total idiot in everything else. ZERO , unless it's for a child with an operable brain disease (then maybe). He truly doesn't understand the things he says are offensive. I think Trump knows what he says is offensive. He just doesn't care.
OldRedneck
(1,397 posts)He was on CNN spinning the bullshit about how Hitler confiscated all the guns in Germany thereby enabling him to take over. Wolf Blitzer challenged him but not much.
Where are the Edward R. Murrow's, the Walter Cronkite's -- the people who know what they are talking about, have facts at hand, and will let bullshit go unchallenged????

(3,190 posts)Anymore. It insults my intelligence and ends up pissing me off more times than not. With a few direct questions, Wolf could have easily totally destroyed Carson's bullshit. Instead he soft-pedals making Carson's ridiculous story appear it might have merit....disgusting!
The only true journalists left are relegated to 2nd and 3rd teir news organizations that you have to search out.

(631 posts)Anybody can run for president, but when a kook like Ben Carson, a religious nut case who knows nothing about running the executive branch of our government, can pose a serious challenge for a major party nomination, it would be unbelievable if it wasn't actually happening!
