You cannot make this stuff up.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

1. Me: if you want to know Ben Carson, watch The Boondocks. nt

[PragmaticLiberal]

3. So true!

[Initech]

4. Or better, watch Lewis Black's hilarious Nazi tourettes rant on the Daily Show.

"Glenn Beck is offended! This is a guy who uses more swastika props and video of the Nuremberg rallies than the History Channel!"

[hifiguy]

37. You win the intertubes for today.

Who knew that Uncle Ruckus was real??

[merrily]

2. Nut job. Reading his wiki was like reading the wikis of two very different people.

Most of the first part is about his accomplishments as a doctor. Very impressive. Then, you start reading reading about his politics and you think, "nut job."

[Fred Sanders]

8. The dividing line between the two versions is the day he went religious nutters and Fox News

embraced him with money and praise and national airtime.

[merrily]

10. I did not get the impression his religious views were new for him.

were they?

[Fred Sanders]

13. Perhaps not, but they sure did blossom when Fox got a hold of him.

[merrily]

15. I was asking. I don't really know, one way or the other.

[Fred Sanders]

22. Yes, I appreciate you share my indifference to who he was, what happened to turn him into this?

[merrily]

26. I just saw him as brilliant at medicine, yet nutty in politics.

It's possible.

[Initech]

25. He's Herman Cain, version 2.0.

Anyone remember "Imagine There's No Pizza"?

[Fred Sanders]

5. Carson read The Bible and now he has totally lost it...shame, he was a good surgeon and a

credible man until he started confusing reality with fantasy.

[NuclearDem]

6. Conversely, to understand the GOP:

[bigdarryl]

7. Ben stick with being a doctor

Your out of your lead when it comes to politics. Ignorant jackass

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

9. Doc, just stick to surgery. You suck at political commentary.

Strange, isn't it, how a lot of people who are smart enough (supposedly) to get through medical school or law school or some other graduate program turn out to be blithering idiots the minute they get into politics? There's this guy. And then there's Michele Bachmann and Louie Gohmert, who are actual lawyers and should have at least a passing familiarity with how the federal government works, but over and over again they have proved to be dumber than stumps.

I guess being blinded by ideology makes you forget everything you learned in school. In the case of Dr. Carson, being blinded by ideology has made it impossible for him to learn or understand anything outside his field. Go operate on somebody, doctor (preferably not me), and STFU.

14. Tunnel vision. Once you finish with their specialty, you've finished with them

Brilliant people with tunnel vision are fairly common, MIT was crawling with them.

Brilliant people who extend their brilliance far beyond their specialty are a lot less common. Dr. Carson is not one of them.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

24. I'm not asking them to extend their brilliance beyond their specialty,

but it would be nice if they could extend some basic level of competence beyond their specialty. A brilliant surgeon should know that Obama is neither a communist nor a Nazi - and furthermore that by definition nobody can be both - since I know that and I am far from a brilliant surgeon - I'm just an ordinary schlub, a retired old lady with some cats and a garden and a computer. Shouldn't a brilliant surgeon who wants to be president know more about the world than the old cat lady down the block?

[Warpy]

27. You're not getting it. You're a generalist, with knowledge about a lot of different things

Carson has total tunnel vision. He is a brilliant specialist who has researched absolutely nothing outside his specialty. He's just saying stupid things he's heard at cocktail parties attended by lobbyists and pharmaceutical reps.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

30. Ha, maybe you're right.

But I think he's getting his really dumbass ideas from Fox News and his fundie church. I still think it's sad when smart people are stupid.

[TheCowsCameHome]

11. Did this guy have a hand in Godfather's Pizza, too?

He sounds like that other nutjob, Herman Cain.

[muntrv]

12. Memo to Ben: Stop calling Obama a Nazi. He's black and by definition cannot be one.

Don't you read the bigot manual?

[Jamaal510]

34. Anyone's automatically a Nazi

who they don't like.

[valerief]

16. So now he's supposed to be German????

[stage left]

20. Good grief!

I thought he was Kenyan muslin. How are we supposed to keep things straight???

[valerief]

21. Nope. German burlap. And they say he's not straight.

[joeybee12]

17. Has Ben ever read it? nt

[stage left]

18. Apparently Ben Carson is the same thing SC Senator Tim Scott is.

An idiot. That's how I see any person of color or any woman who espouses Republican precepts.

[KG]

19. doubt Dr Nutbag's ever read it himself

[Dirty Socialist]

23. Here comes a white guy

To pat him on the head and put a treat in his mouth. Carson is a self loathing African American.

[woo me with science]

28. Sure you can. Propaganda relies on lots of shiny controversies that are deliberately stoked

to enrage one side and get the other side to rally the wagons.

It's all about keeping the people divided, angry, and focused on meaningless distractions and hyped up controversies like this, so that corporate policy can be quietly implemented on a bipartisan basis. The One Percent LOVE when the people are distracted by something outrageous someone in one party said about someone in the other.

Here are some actual important things going on:

29. Read it a long time ago, what exactly in the book lines up with Obama's mindset?

Does Carson know there is a difference between communism and fascism?

[Journeyman]

31. No. As with the majority of people, he sees the terms simply as insults, with no concept of meaning…

and, truly, no desire to understand the term beyond the simplest of beliefs: they can be used to attack and taunt people with whom he disagrees.

[Rex]

33. It is so strange watching supposedly educated people throw the terms around like they were

synonymous with each other! Sad.

[Glimmer of Hope]

32. Do we want him to run? He doesn't amuse me like the others.

[Jamaal510]

36. It'll be fun to

watch the racists try to work up the urge to show up for BC, and simultaneously watch the GOP coming up with lame excuses for why blacks didn't vote for him when they lose.

[Loge23]

35. If you want to know...read Dickens

If you want to understand what our country looks like after the republicans finish with it, read Dickens.
Only the richest survive, while the rest amble about on the streets looking for crumbs.

Hyperbole? Think "pay for performance" the standard that republicans are imposing on every publicly funded entity that they get their dirty hands on. Think of the criticism Obama took for the auto bailout - forget about the number of unemployed that would have resulted from the "let them die" crowd.

And yet, they continue to run in and possibly win elections. The propaganda they spread is amazing. They are destroying every good thing that this country once represented.

39. Stupid.. all you have to do "to know" ben carson is bite the bullet and listen to him for 5
