Maxine Waters calls Dr. Ben Carson 'an educated fool'
American Thinker ^ | 09/24/2017 | Monica Showalter

Posted on 09/25/2017 8:16:27 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

In her latest hurled insult, Rep. Maxine Waters has called Housing and Urban Development Secretary Dr. Ben Carson "an educated fool."

"Look at Ben Carson. My God. My grandmother would call him an educated fool," Waters stated.

"Here's a man who has a reputation of being a highly competent surgeon, but when he talks about poor people, he says they're the cause of their poverty.

"He doesn't understand why you didn't do what he did and why you didn't make it like he made it. And he doesn't know the difference between slavery and immigration," she went on.

At first glance, one is tempted to reply, "Speaking of educated fools..."

But Auntie Maxine, as she is affectionately known on the left, isn't particularly known for her educational achievements.

Actually, she's more of a real fool.

Someone known for her clown antics, her verbal diarrhea, her inability to get off the stage, and her curious ability to grow rich in office even while her constituents remain poor.  And someone who was going to "take his ass apart," as she put it in her favored vernacular last summer.

Being an idiot, of course, she didn't.

I would call Maxine “ an uneducated fool” stewing in her own perverse pernicious mind.

I’ll say it again, Aunt Esther for President 2020. Please run, Maxine.

Yeah, right Maxine. What would Dr. Carson know about lifting oneself out of poverty and making something of yourself?

More and more, all of the personal qualities which lead to real success in life are being termed “White Supremacy”.

In truth, there is nothing racial about any of this — work hard, behave well, get an education, get a job, form a stable family, have a happy life.

Is that “white supremacy”? And if you fight “white supremacy” and decide to consciously achieve none of those things, will you have a good life?

The Left is pushing blacks to screw up in a thousand ways. And then blame “white supremacy”. Unbelievable.

It’s “racist” to believe there is such a thing as speaking correctly.
= = =

That would be “Raciss”.

The first thing I thought of in seeing this fool Maxine call Dr Carson a fool were the lyrics from a 2nd Chapter of Acts number from the 1970's...lyrics actually by Ry Cooder (Denomination Blues)...

Well, you can to your college, you can go to your school

But if you ain't got Jesus, you'se (you are) an educated fool

And that's all, I'll tell you that's all

'Cause you better have Jesus

I tell you that's all

Maxine, you are the fool...but I do want you to keep this up daily...actually as many a day as you can get before the cameras...it ensures eight years of a Trump Administration.

Maxine really has it out for Ben. She doesn’t like black folk that stray off the plantation and prove that they can make something of themselves.

No, you will not. You will have transient, exploitative relationships, poverty and dependency, reduced life expectancy, violence, and so forth. However, you will also have a rock-solid certainty of your own righteousness. That is what Maxine Waters shares with every "aspiring rapper" and every jealous teenaged "sister" beating others up over a Facebook post. They know they are helpless victims, so they can do nothing for themselves, ever.

Is that true? I’m laughing. Doesn’t that make a Yale degree pretty much useless?

Condoleezza Rice would qualify but she has too much class.

Maxine is slipping.

She forgot to call Carson an uppity house negro and she could not even summon up the effort to call him an Uncle Tom

What is the world coming to

Reminds me of the Henry Ford quote: "If you think you can, you can; if you think you can't, you can't."

The Left very much wants to convince blacks they just can't succeed in this white dominated society. So ... you know ... why not have a revolution?

I recall seeing a reality show about the duo Salt & Peppa.
Two different women, rapping together.
I can imaging ‘Salt’ going after Maxine full force. Peppa could do it, being a natural loudmouth, but she would soon worry that her black friends would not like it.
Quincy Jones was in the same situation during the campaign, quickly walking back any talk that he just may be supporting Donald Trump for president. He didn’t think his other rich musician friends would like it.

Diamond and Silk. YouTube cut off their advertising because of their political speech.

I knew that didn't look right. The original songwriter was gospel singer Washington Phillips in 1927!

On a personal note...I had the lovely MrsProv1322 script that in calligraphy for me and had it framed in my office when in my first position after Grad School. In the Boston area, that did not go over well...
