What a joke. This, the new pandering urban radio rap ads and the cooked polls showing him ahead are the comedy relief of this campaign season.

Next he'll be doing MC Hammer knockoffs, if they can keep him awake long enough.

(well, that whole hammer thing might be a little to close to home)

Good points. Carson’s strange views on the pyramids do not impact public policy and are certainly not as bad as someone who believes in man-induced global warming.

One however might make the argument that anyone that can believe such nonsense might also make poor judgments on policy matters - particularly since he has never run for office and has no track record (same with Trump). Thus everything is fair game for examination of these candidates.

Carson’s views on the Pyramids are about as astute as his views and ideas to fix the problems of the day. The guy is a terrible candidate who is totally unqualified and unprepared to be President.

Thank God you showed up to help him lose. :-)

The Carson/SDA Veggie pyramid.

Not a very good, nor well-written, nor well-researched article.

Carson’s thoughts on the pyramids are not important to me, and the left won’t get much traction to make him look silly over it.

However, the author fails to be knowledgeable of Left Wingers who SCREAM that everyone should be vaccinated for everything and that GMO’s are the best thing since...

He also has no idea that Right Wingers exist who are against or are extremely cautious of over-vaccinating kids, do not believe enough research or caution has been used in the vaccines, and who demand that Monsanto be outlawed in the US. Yes, I am one of them, apologetically.

To paint our two sides with that broad of a brush on these 2 issues is ignorant. I know others feel the same as I do and it does not make us any less of a Right Wing Wacko.

You'd' have to be a f****ing idiot to look at the pyramids and then conclude that they were built to warehouse grain. Carson may be a brilliant grain surgeon, but he's a f****ing idiot. His theory is an affront to common sense. It's the equivalent to seeing a Cummins ISX15 diesel engine and concluding that it was built by Co. Sanders to house mashed potatoes in all the vast, empty space of the combustion chambers.

He lacks basic, common sense. He is not fit to be President, and I like Carson, but his running is a complete joke. Let him be Surgeon General, but keep him the hell away from anything requiring basic analysis of what is readily apparent.

Increasingly specialized education has led to most people walking around with a huge empty space in their brain where general knowledge and general intellect used to lie.

You can’t know everything about everything, but intellect should prevent you from spouting off on things you know nothing about or know you don’t understand. To have a strong, uninformed opinion on any subject is crackbrained.
