Presidential candidate Ben Carson speaks at the Faith & Freedom Coalition's Road to Majority Conference in Washington D.C.

Republican 2016 presidential candidate Ben Carson recently made the assertion on a Iowa conservative radio show that the "purpose" behind Margaret Sanger's founding of the abortion giant Planned Parenthood was to "eliminate black people," and also questioned whether or not President Barack Obama realizes that.
While the 63-year-old retired neurosurgeon was going in and out of reception during his phone interview with radio host Jan Mickelson on WHO Radio in Des Moines, Mickelson played a clip of an Obama speech from last year where the president defended Planned Parenthood and even said "Thank you Planned Parenthood. God bless you."
When Carson re-established cell phone connection, he was asked to comment on the president's remarks.
"You wonder if he actually knows the history of Planned Parenthood and Margaret Sanger, who was trying to eliminate black people," Carson replied. "That was the whole purpose of it."
Mickelson then played an audio clip of 2016 Democratic frontrunner and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton from 2009, when she was awarded the Planned Parenthood Margaret Sanger Award. In her acceptance speech, Clinton gave high praises to Sanger even though Sanger was known for advocating racist ideals.
"I admire Margaret Sanger enormously, her courage, her tenacity, her vision," Clinton stated. "I am really in awe of her."
Mickelson responded by saying how hypocritical it is for people to destroy Confederate flags and Confederate tombstones but still continue to honor Sanger.
Carson replied to the Clinton soundbite by stating that the soundbite will most surely be used against her in the general election, no matter who the Republican nominee turns out to be.
"I am delighted to have her saying that on tape because if I am a nominee and we are in the race, believe me that quotation that she just said will come back and it will be in a context that people can understand," Carson argued. "She has done us a great favor right there ... That is a ticking time bomb and of course, her whole relationship with Saul Alinsky."
I think it is much more than that and a leftist organization wouldn’t purposefully kill off so many dem voters. It is however, a dream come true for Margaret Sanger.
That’s a truth that hasn’t the light of day in more than 40 years. The Democrat party remains the KKK at its heart.
If true it has been a colossal flop.
"In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act." --George Orwell
Dr. Carson is right. All one needs to do is search “Margaret Sanger” the founder of Planned Parenthood and a eugenist.
Quote-wouldn’t purposefully kill off so many dem voters.
These babies are not voters till they reach 18..
Politicians look election to election, not 18 years down the road.
They are servicing the constituency that can vote today. They will worry about 18 years lack of voters with immigration.
See how it all fits?
The doctor is correct. Keep telling the truth Ben.
Ol' Maggie was in the forefront of this movement.
Dems certainly don't want this history to come out.
Just wait until welfare no longer generates more earnings for having more babies. There will be lines outside the clinics.
Well, it would have been more successful if another liberal cause hadn’t gotten in the way - paying women to have bastards.
The GOPe candidates would or will tread lightly on that one because their financial backers don't believe and neither do most of them, if truth be told.
I know Cruz and Jindal also know and believe this and would hang that bloody sheet around her neck. Unfortunately, most all of the others either feel as does she or don't have the conviction to boldly make that claim.
“If true it has been a colossal flop.”
The latest statistic I saw was that, in NYC, more black babies are aborted than born. We complain about black on black violence but statistically a black child is safer out on the corner selling drugs than in his mother womb. Margaret Sangers vision is working just fine.
Carson’s right... Planned Parenthood was always a racist organization set up by nazi wannabees...
Anyone know how much they’ve donated to Hillary or her ‘foundation’?
Blacks are being dumped by democrats in favor of Hispanic illegals... less upkeep.
Black lives matter, well, unless welfare, a black president and abortion is at stakes, then screw the black lives
Planned Parenthood’s unofficial motto is “Black Lives Don’t Matter”.
Glad to see Carson step up and tell the unvarnished truth about PP.
70% of every black pregnancy ends in an abortion.
That means 7 out of 10 never come out of the womb alive.
Most come out in pieces and some of those pieces are sold.
Kind of like a new slavery for blacks.
I think the truth telling by Donald Trump has given some other candidates a spine.
It is about freakin’ time.
Margaret Sanger was a Democrat, I bet!
I searched `What was Margaret Sanger’s political affiliation?’ and this excellent authority turned up #1:

Madge was a fervent Marxist, like so many Democrats responsible for the Black Holocaust.
African Americans voting for Democrats= chickens supporting Colonel Sanders.
