:"I'm Not Being An Elitist When I Say Ben Carson Is Not Qualified To Be President"

Let me see what else fits:

"I'm not being an elitist when I say BARACK OBAMA is not qualified to be President."

"I'm not being an elitist when I say HILLARY CLINTON is not qualified to be President."

"I'm not being an elitist when I say JOE BIDEN is not qualified to be President."

"I'm not being an elitist when I say BERNIE SANDERS is not qualified to be President."

Dr. Carson is a BRAIN SURGEON. That may not be a major resume builder for President. But he has some experience doing an important job in the real world. Besides politics, what has any of the afformentioned potential candidates EVER done that suggests they are qualified to be POTUS? None of them have ever actually contributed to anything that benefits anyone (legally anyway) honest and hardworking citizen of this country?

So Joe, from where I sit, you are more qualified to be POTUS than any of the dems in the hunt. And I certainly wouldn't vote for you. Or was your nitwit comment based only on politics?

“Anyone know the largest organization that Carson has ever managed? A hospital department? A University faculty department?”

The same question should be asked of all Presidential candidates whose past elective offices did not include city mayor, county manager, or state governor or whose past private-sector experience was below the VP level.

I think Joe( the racist ) could be replaced with Gary Busey and the ratings for the show would improve dramatically. At least Busey admits to his brain damage.

Anyone know the largest organization that Barack Hypocrite Obama ever managed before he was immaculated?

If Carson just had a law degree from Harvard, Scarborough probably would consider him "qualified."

Consider Jefferson's observation:

""State a moral case to a ploughman and a professor. The former will decide it as well, and often better than the latter, because he has not been led astray by artificial rules." - -- Thomas Jefferson, 1787
Surely, if a "professor" seems unable to provide the "moral" leadership required to restore America's liberty and leadership role in the world, perhaps a brain surgeon may be the next best thing to a "ploughman."

On the other hand, why would Scarborough's opinion on the subject merit consideration anyway?

No, using the bh0 standard, Scarborough and Mika are just plain racist for saying that about Dr. Carson.

Besides being a racist , where does it say he is not qualified to run for President

Carson is old enough and is a U.S. citizen. But he has zero elected office experience, and near zero managerial experience.

The fact that Carson's supporters jump to cry "racism" when his very thin resume is pointed out - goes a long way to proving that Carson's is a racial token candidacy, that race is a primary reason for his support.

(And obiously, Carson's support for illegal alien amnesty makes him a non-starter among patriots)

Yes, but voting records are not “accomplishments.” I want visionary leadership from a President. First-term Senators do not, in general, have the opportunity or the ability to implement a vision or exercise leadership.

They know this. Hence the hate for Carson.

The Democrats have plenty of reasons to hate Carson. 1) He is conservative. 2) He is black. It is the Democrats that are actually racists. Their only interest in blacks, women, latinos, etc. is as pawns to advance their political power. What is that called when you USE a sect of humans to improve yourself without regard to the personal effect of said fellow humans? Bigotry? Racism? Sexism? Slavery? Democrats have managed, through political correctness, to hoodwink their loyal subjects into volunteering to be dependent servants of their own masters. "What will you promise me next, Master? Then I will vote for you."

So one awful unqualified president, elected mainly for his race, is somehow a reason to elect another unqualified president - mainly for his race?

Carson’s support for illegal alien amnesty is “visionary”.

If he's managed a lemonade stand, it's more management experience than his potential democratic opposition.

Biden hasn't done any brain surgeries. However, IIRC he's had several.

Say Joe, was Lori Klausutis carrying your unborn child when you murdered her in 2001? Just asking.

I like to see a track record.

RR could not have get elected POTUS without being a governor first.

I believe you are mistaken: I didn't make that statement - you did.

I was merely pointing out the post Obama hypocrisy surrounding the vetting and criticism of Carson or any other republican candidate.

We're not looking for Brain Surgeon in Chief. We're looking for president. And Carson is way down my list of people I'd want in that position.

Considering republican candidates, I think your opinion is fair. But as far as intellectual qualifications go and considering democrat candidates, Carson has a resume and real important life experience that puts his intellect and character beyond reproach.

Remember When a Dead Intern Was Found in Joe Scarborough's Office?

Back in 2010, Markos Moulitsas, better known as the founder of the Daily Kos blog, was a regular guest on MSNBC

That state of affairs came to a screeching halt in July of 2010, when Moulitsas found himself summarily blacklisted from MSNBC. His offense? Mentioning, on Twitter, the strange, sad story of Lori Klausutis, the intern who was found dead in Joe Scarborough’s office when the “Morning Joe” host was still a Republican congressman.
