Need help rebutting a Ben Carson meme
Internet Memes ^ | 09/19/2015 | RightFighter

Posted on 09/19/2015 5:37:48 AM PDT by RightFighter

Okay, so I have a high school classmate who is a leader in the black community who posts things like this all the time. He might as well come out and use the words "Uncle Tom" when he discusses Ben Carson, but memes like this are all he's got.

I read this, and of course it immediately struck me that this is likely a hoax of some kind. The only "evidence" that I can find that Carson actually said this is a page from the Daily Kos website that says he did, and then a bunch of other websites that quote that page on the Daily Kos.

I found this replay of the 10/22/2014 Mark Levin show radio broadcast, and from the provided transcript, it doesn't appear that Levin even interviewed Carson that day, much less that Carson said something like this:

Mark Levin 10/22/2014

So, I'm looking for help from the FR community in debunking this further. Did this really originate with a false quote on the Daily Kos?

Carson went to Ferguson and showed his true colors.

It showed up on my Facebook feed from a group of several hundred black people that I’m a member of, and I challenged anyone to find a reputable source for it, and nobody has. It’s a lie.

What do you mean by that? I’m not a Carson supporter, but this meme I posted is (I think) a hideous lie.

Do you notice on Facebook that whenever you find a liberal hoax, prove it to the poster, they still refuse to take it down? It never fails; they love spreading lies.

People who call other Black people Uncle Toms are self hating Uncle Toms.

If you are Black and dare to think independently of the Democrat Plantation, you are treated like a slave on the run.

Black people are not a hive of bees where we all behave and move through life for the purpose of protecting the queen. We don’t have a queen, the Democrat Party is not our hive and we are not bee brains.

Yes I have noticed that. They never take it down. In this case, they said I was harping on a “grammatical error”.

Carson said in Ferguson that he would not have shot Michael Brown.

I guess he would have let him take his gun and kill him, because that is likely what would have happened to the officer if he had not shot Brown.

He is also for abandoning the rule of law and surrrendering the country to illegal aliens.

He’s a brilliant surgeon who simply has not studied the issues confronting this nation.

He’s weak on what the 2nd Amendment means as well.

We don’t have a queen, the Democrat Party is not our hive and we are not bee brains.

Black Americans have been taught by self-serving leftists that because there was once slavery in parts of the U.S., there is no such thing as liberty.

The truth is, Progressive Leftists are opposed to individual liberty as defined in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. The only real complaint they have about chattel slavery in America two hundred years ago is that the slaves were privately owned.

But they get orgasmic over the idea of slavery to the state.

Democrats never pass up on opportunity to tell us why enslavement by the state is for our own protection and our own safety, because life under the anarchy that conservatives want to impose is just too risky and dangerous. We can't have any of that inhumane "on-your-own economics" that conservatives advocate.

Thereby proving that you no longer have to be black to be an Uncle Tom.

I would suggest emailing Levin, I am assuming that he has a website and a means to contact him to find out.

You do know that Carson says some dumb things at times, right?

Yes, I definitely know he’s said some strange things, but this just sounds made up to me. Kind of like the meme that was out at one time that Donald Trump had said (of Carson) that “150 years ago I’d have owned him.”

Carson is maybe too gentle to be President.

The decision to invade Afghanistan: all Republican candidates supported it, except Ben (I was really flabbergasted by learning this during the second debate).

The decision to invade Iraq: all Republican candidates supported it, except Ben, Rand Paul and The Donald .

The decision to withdraw from Iraq once we got into Iraq: all Republicans opposed it, except I don’t know about Rand Paul and Ben.

The only person who was clearly right each time was Donald Trump.

Look, nobody knows what’s going to come up during the next four or eight years. Ultimately, you back somebody and you just hope they exercise sound judgement. The Donald has been criticized for his demeanor. And I agree with the criticism. But, the guy has solid instincts regarding the enemy we face.

Trump probably did say that. LOL
No. again, I don’t know.

Carson does not really say dumb things, I should not have said that but, it seems like he does not think out how some some things he says will be perceived. It’s kind of Trump like thing.

Here man:

http://www.therudenews.com/fake-quote-of-ben-carson/

there is a link in the post to a Snopes on the originators, who also used a 150 years slavery reference on Ban Carson and Trump in one lying meme.

They are notorious liars and furthermore, Levin posts transcripts and has podcasts. Just challenge them to prove this lie and watch ‘me lie to keep it afloat.
