5 faith facts about Ben Carson: retired neurosurgeon, Seventh-day Adventist
http://www.democraticunderground.com/1218195925

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Ben Carson is a republican. Not only a Republican, but a homophobic, Obama hating Republican. Posting this here, EVEN IN RELIGION, is a slap in the face to Democrats. To follow that up with how much you "can't help but love someone" who is so homophobic is disgusting. Posting support of Republican candidates is NOT allowed on DU.

He's a fucking Republican, so, that's a slightly larger liability than his Ego. AtheistCrusader May 2015 #7

I wonder if she will even detect a whiff of her own hypocrisy... trotsky May 2015 #8

I'm thinking it's a good chance she has NO IDEA at all, despite that photo of him at CPAC. AtheistCrusader May 2015 #10

The fact that he was speaking at CPAC should have been a clue... beam me up scottie May 2015 #12

Do others praise those "REPUBLICAN DIRTBAGS" and say they love them too? beam me up scottie May 2015 #21

Regardless of his politics, the man is an amazing surgeon Starboard Tack May 2015 #37

Totally agree. 840high May 2015 #52

What's loveable about him? Ask the parents of the kids whose lives he saved. Starboard Tack May 2015 #38

So he gets a pass on his homophobic bigotry because of his old day job? truebrit71 May 2015 #40

He gets a pass on nothing. Starboard Tack May 2015 #44

I agree. bravenak May 2015 #85

Compared to your in depth wowiness, I guess I don't Starboard Tack May 2015 #95

He does so every chance he gets. He's fully transparent in his motives. AtheistCrusader May 2015 #25

Some women are attracted to men who compare ssm to bestiality. beam me up scottie May 2015 #27

Oh no, no, no. No one on a jury would ever believe a poster at DU would do that. AtheistCrusader May 2015 #29

These are good too: beam me up scottie May 2015 #32

During the second baptism, guillaumeb May 2015 #28

As bravenak and I noted above, something is seriously wrong.. cbayer May 2015 #30

It has been called "idiot savant" guillaumeb May 2015 #31

I don't get an autistic vibe at all from him. cbayer May 2015 #33

That is scary. EOM. guillaumeb May 2015 #34

Oh, are we internet diagnosing people now? Is that an acceptable thing today? AtheistCrusader May 2015 #43

Are you a psychiatrist? 840high May 2015 #54

No. But be glad because otherwise I would send you a bill. guillaumeb May 2015 #56

You got a big grin out of me. Thanks. 840high May 2015 #58

glad to help out. guillaumeb May 2015 #73

"if you have zero interest in learning more about bigots, don't open threads about them" truebrit71 May 2015 #48

I will start any threads I want and I will gladly and frequently start threads about bigots cbayer May 2015 #49

Okay. truebrit71 May 2015 #50

For those playing along at home, accusations of homophobia against cbayer's husband (Starboard Tack) trotsky May 2015 #51

Your husband DID equate gay marrieage to marrying your hamster or bicycle, so... cleanhippie May 2015 #64

And a dog and his grandmother. beam me up scottie May 2015 #72

Ayup. That's some DU Progressive values I tell ya! cleanhippie May 2015 #74

I try to base my feelings and judgements about people on what they do and say. cbayer May 2015 #55

Except that you said right above in post 6 skepticscott May 2015 #57

upthread the other half of the bayer tag team declares his overt homophobia Warren Stupidity May 2015 #59

Who fucking cares about his fucking religious "faith" facts? AlbertCat May 2015 #60

Apparently you care. cbayer May 2015 #61

one of the world's best pediatric neurosurgeons AlbertCat May 2015 #62

If you don't know about his neurosurg creeds, then I suggest you do your homework. cbayer May 2015 #63

I wouldn't be so sure that there is anyone better qualified AlbertCat May 2015 #65

Okey, dokey. cbayer May 2015 #66

Does he believe in evolution? AtheistCrusader May 2015 #69

He doesn't believe in Evolution. Meaning, he doesn't understand biology at all. AtheistCrusader May 2015 #68

It's not "totally irrational" at all. It would be like seeing a psychiatrist who believe in gods, mr blur May 2015 #67

Oh fuck no! All the babies is doomed! Warren Stupidity May 2015 #70

What's irrational about not hiring a surgeon who doesn't believe in evolution? beam me up scottie May 2015 #71

Carson is a raging homophobe of the very worst sort. And you love that Republican hate monger? Bluenorthwest May 2015 #75

No, BNW, of course I don't love him cbayer May 2015 #81

No, that's not what you said skepticscott May 2015 #103

If you claim to be against Pam Geller types and you promote Ben Carson, you are a hypocrite. Bluenorthwest May 2015 #76

Not privileged enough Goblinmonger May 2015 #87

"basically homeless" trotsky May 2015 #90

Not only "basically homeless" skepticscott May 2015 #104

Way to make it personal, cb. trotsky May 2015 #88

You're not Christian? You sure wish you could be, though, don't you? mr blur May 2015 #92

kdmorris isn't married to a homophobe who compares gay marriage to bestiality and incest. beam me up scottie May 2015 #96

Or someone whose liberal, progressive response to women who are denied birth control... trotsky May 2015 #99

"Why would anyone go to a catholic establishment for birth control?" beam me up scottie May 2015 #100

Neither are we. AlbertCat May 2015 #101

What are you saying AlbertCat? cbayer May 2015 #102

x1000! mr blur May 2015 #80

Again, I am not venerating bigoted activists. cbayer May 2015 #82

Just to throw in my 2 cents re: SDA - LiberalElite May 2015 #105

I've not known many, but in general I have found them to be pretty low key. cbayer May 2015 #106

We got out of touch, of course - it was a long time ago - LiberalElite May 2015 #107

Sounds like a good man. Many immigrants I have known have been the most selfless cbayer May 2015 #108

He helped me too. LiberalElite May 2015 #109

Probably time to revisit whether it's still "hard not to love" this guy Goblinmonger Nov 2015 #110

Apparently not skepticscott Nov 2015 #112

There was a reason I brought up the statistical correlation between psychopathy and surgeons AtheistCrusader Nov 2015 #113

Carson's bio says he knifed someone Brettongarcia Nov 2015 #125

When you use other ways of knowing Warren Stupidity Nov 2015 #115

Guess they decided skepticscott Nov 2015 #118

The link in the OP doesn't take me to the story. Jim__ Nov 2015 #111
