Ben Carson Issues ‘Sincere and Heartfelt Apology’
http://www.theblaze.com ^ | April 5, 2013 | Madeleine Morgenstern

Dr. Ben Carson on Friday apologized to Johns Hopkins University for “poorly chosen” comments he made last week in which he seemed to compare gay relationships to pedophilia and bestiality.

The pediatric neurosurgeon’s message to the Hopkins community came after a top university official issued a statement calling Carson’s words “offensive” and saying he would meet with students who want Carson removed as commencement speaker.

I was beginning to like Carson, but he turns out to be just another republican with no backbone. He caves to liberal pressure and takes back what he said, which was 100% the truth about sodomite "marriage". Will there ever be a republican that is not scared of the media? Santorum and Palin are the only ones I can think of and they are always marginalized.

Rush discussed a study this past week that stated apologizing is bad and makes people feel bad. Apparently NOT apologizing is empowering. Perhaps some Republicans need to try this strategy.

Can anyone tell me a time when Patton, MacArthur or Eisenhower or even Truman, after dropping the bombs on Japan, ever apologized? Patton, MacArthur and Eisenhower probably should’ve apologized for the 1932 Bonus Army deaths under their leadership, but I bet none of them went to their graves regretting anything they did.

Never apologize to the left.

Never.

And beside that, homosexuality IS a sexual perversion, and as such it IS like bestiality, pedophilia, necrophilia, polyamory, incest and any other number of bizarre and odd behaviors that provide sexual gratification in UNNATURAL ways.

Blood is in the water and the piranha will feed until no flesh remains.

He isn’t ready for politics in this country, not even close.

And the problem was.......................... Never downgrade deviant behavior as acceptable and “the norm”.

So who’s your choice Chris37? Give us someone who you think can win?

Sorry, but it gets a little frstrating reading the negative comments on FR regarding our options especially seeing how Tankles is licking her chops in anticipation of 2016.

When do liberals, the media and the left ever apologize?

What he said was the truth. Yet he caved. I’m appalled by his apology.

Thats assuming of course that The One leaves office. 4 years is a long time, and the left are pushing on the gas pedal ever harder.

Buh-bye, Ben.
It was a fun fad for 15 minutes.

For anyone who hasn’t seen his autobiography, it will be on tonight. “Gifted Hands: the Ben Carson Story” on LMN, Lifetime Movie Network at 8 pm and 12 am. I really enjoyed it before I was aware of who he was.

Maybe he is trying to take away the story from the success of the graduates. His decision to do. I would much rather see him not apologizing. He is certainly a good person. He just does not understand the depth of hate of the left wingers because he is not a hateful man. I’d say this is a very telling experience in his life to recieve this kind of public and private hate.

Good Lord, hasn’t he already groveled over this?

He was right and he should never have apologized at all. Though some conservatives still hold out against homo marriage, it’s rare to find one who will speak the truth about homosexuality itself——and stick to it.

WHAT?!?!?!?!

That leftist libtard station is going to broadcast a movie about Ben Carson, that actually portrays him in a good light?

I wonder if they edited out all the good stuff, and remade and added negative things.

“it’s rare to find one who will speak the truth about homosexuality itself——and stick to it”

I give you Rick Santorum. He will quote the Bible and leave it at that. God’s word does not change for the times.

Never, of course.

Even worse, the right has NOTHING to apologize for.

Eisenhowers' comments on MacArthur leading the operation

"I told that dumb son-of-a-bitch not to go down there," he said later. "I told him it was no place for the Chief of Staff."

Lol, anyway no one died that day, except Hoovers chances at reelection.

Exactly...the left specializes in phony/manufactured outrage. No amount of apologies will ever take care of this “outrage”. They’ll just create some more...
