"Sharpton and I Have the Same Goal," Says Ben Carson, "Just Different Ideas on How to Get There." Ben Carson's April, 2015, article in National Review state: Last week, I had the pleasure of speaking at the National Action Network's (NAN) 17th annual national convention in New York City. NAN is one of the leading civil-rights organizations in the United States. It was founded in 1991 by the Reverend Al Sharpton to "promote a modern civil rights agenda that includes the fight for one standard of justice, decency and equal opportunities for all people regardless of race, religion, nationality or gender." Dr. Carson defended his actions, saying that we should not remain in our camps, but should reach out to the opposition. I agree with Jan Morgan, who said, "When you participate in an event organized by a racist thug, you validate him and give him credibility he does not deserve. Participating in this event is as repulsive to me as Obama meeting with and negotiating with Iran." Excuse me Dr. Carson, but Al Sharpton's only desire is to feed his lust for money and power. He is a far left liberal, filled with hatred and negative rhetoric for America, for whites, police officers, and for anything conservative.

There obviously is still a lot of white guilt complex lingering on the right. The Dr keeps saying and doing amazingly stupid things and people keep on saying “he’s a good man”, and saying they’d vote for him, while there’s still 2 better candidates in the race.
As I have been saying................................................................
Even though he says he has changed, he is still a gun grabber.
Carson aligning himself with this piece of sub-human waste is sad and revealing!
VERY BAD even mentioning his name, unless it is to destroy it,
If you and others have issues with SDA’s and are Cruz supporters then I would suggest a CLOSE review of Mrs. Cruz’s history and upbringing......after all, she’ll be one of Ted’s closest advisers.
Some people are just scum, and one should not say ANYTHING about them that even APPEARS to validate them, even if in a most narrow, qualified manner. Sharpton is one of those. The only thing Carson should be saying about Sharpton is: “Al Sharpton is scum.”
It breaks my heart every time I think of that Italian guy stabbing him. I wont say in which way it breaks my heart.
He should be in jail for inciting riot resulting in death, narcotics trafficking, mafia connections under the RICO statute, and probably a lot more.
oh, not paying taxes.
and not be able to read the English language off a chart.
p i n g
yep. he’s a viper if there ever was one.
He’s a hero to blacks like Gotti is a hero to some Italians, I know some of them.,
Give me a BREAK,. He and his ilk have kept then down!!
fed the flames of hatred and self pity. They are still living terribly and dying at high rates.
He doesn’t go by any MLK said, whether one liked the man or not, he was brave, he didn’t want special treatment, probably didn’t want the words black or white mentioned.
Sharpton is an embarrassment.
i’m no fan of Carson, but this is a BS hit piece.
here’s the original April 2015 article at national review that freedomoutpost bowdlerized:
http://www.nationalreview.com/article/416946/al-sharpton-and-i-ben-carson
And here’s Carson’s actual statement:
“Sharpton and I have the same goal: to build a brighter, stronger America that provides equal opportunities and access to the underserved and forgotten. However, we have a fundamental difference of opinion regarding the best way to achieve such an end.”
With his record of so much corruption and he still walking among us and has a great job. Tells me, how messed up our system really is.
That's what I call boiling it down!
The last time I remember someone so corrupt going his whole life without have the book thrown at him was the old time gangsters who said nothing, lived normal (nothing flashy) and died old and in bed. Of course have the FBI deny their existence helped.
This is a new age. PC can save a man from prison more than any defender.
Wasn't that because the Teflon Don thumbed his nose at prosecutors for such a long time until they got the goods on him? Or was it because he financed block parties in the hood?
I don't for one moment believe that is Sharpton's goal.
