Me? I see it.

I’m afraid the Harley Chick doesn’t get it.

i·ro·ny1.

[ˈīrənē]

NOUN

1.the expression of one’s meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect:
““Don’t go overboard with the gratitude,” he rejoined with heavy irony”

synonyms: sarcasm · causticity · cynicism · mockery · satire ·

Pick ever which what one you want to choose....I don’t think Ben Carson should be allowed anywhere near the White House....the things he has written in his own books and things that have come out of his own mouth is stupid....if he didn’t want people to know about these things, then he shouldn’t have written them...

People will find things out when you run for office and that means ANY office so if you don’t want people to know, don’t give them the things to make you look like an idiot!!!

He’s no idiot...he’s a very talented medical professional. Of course that has no real bearing on his qualifications for being in politics.

I am not agreeing with the article. I like the man, but not for President.

But, in general matters, don’t we all know people who are experts at their job, but who cannot navigate the most benign social setting.

Carson is clearly in a league of his own. But I think he has fallen prey to others “building him up” in a way that they never needed to.

For God’s sake, I saw a kids book in CVS about Ben Carson’s life. It was published earlier in the year—before all of this stuff. We should not destroy the few role models kids have these days. I did not see any Hillary books.

If he didn't want what he got, he shouldn't have wrote in HIS books what he did...now that is the IDIOT I'm talking about...

I'm going to defer to your obvious expertise in the area of idiocy.

I will suggest that you read and write a bit more carefully.

Ok I will: Ben Carson YOUR AN IDIOT!

Maybe you should brush up on YOUR grammar. It's "you are" or "you're" not YOUR.

He was never ready for prime time. Its flat out painful to watch him, someone flailing so badly and not even realizing it.

Carson backers are going to have to quit wishing this guy is more than he is and come to terms with the fact he’s done.

That's some good advice. You should follow it.

The good doctor will make an excellent Surgeon General.

The Surgeon General is mostly a titular head. I think he could become a decent head of Health and Human Services.

Well, you have no way of knowing whether or not he is medicated - do you? I think he is and so do many others. So, stop spewing stupidity.

It’s “you’re” an idiot, not “your an idiot.”

The author of the article is a Black political, race and cultural issues writer. Of course, Carson is not an idiot.
He is, however, dangerously wrong on his support for amnesty, gun control, TPP, death panels and other issues. His total lack of depth on foreign policy and national security would make us even less secure than we are now. His lack of understanding of the economy and our national debt make him incapable of improving our situation in those areas, as well.
