Ben Carson likened Syrian refugees fleeing the country’s bloody civil war and Islamic State violence to dogs on Thursday.
Speaking to reporters following a campaign stop in Mobile, Alabama, Carson stressed that the United States wants smart leaders who care about people, but noted there should always be a balance between safety and humanitarian concerns.
“For instance, you know, if there is a rabid dog running around your neighborhood, you’re probably not going to assume something good about that dog, and you’re probably gonna put your children out of the way,†Carson said. “Doesn’t mean that you hate all dogs by any stretch of the imagination.â€
Continuing his analogy, the Republican presidential candidate said that screening refugees is like questioning how you protect your children, even though you love dogs and will call the Humane Society to take the dog away to reestablish a safe environment.

You know - Obama's favorite dish, and all...
Sons of pig f’n dogs maybe. I have my doubts considering the source.
He just keeps digging himself into a deeper hole. Now he has offended dog lovers. ;-)
Those “Enlightened” and smarter-than-you liberals never seem to understand the difference between an analogy and a comparison.
Intentional or not, the story is inaccurate, to say the least.
Their problem is the Qu’ran calls Christians and Jews much worse.
Well IF they truly are refugees then they`re also cowards! They`re over 70% able bodied males and their country needs them to stop the invading muslim animals, yet they turn tail and run? No wonder the left wants them, they must be liberals!
My thoughts exactly. Stupid comment by the Brain Surgeon.
"Excuse me Mr. Carson!"
Carson has his problems but this BS by Politico is not part of it.
This one was ripe for the picking.
After the events in Paris on 11/13, I will be adding
this to my posts for the next week. I'm certain our
turn is coming again soon. We stand united against
Islamic extremists.
Some music for reflection if the mood strikes you.

An honorable mention also goes out to Lassana Bathily , a Muslim immigrant from Mali.
Mr. Bathily sheltered customers at the Jewish Deli and helped police by providing info
on the terrorists, and providing the location of survivors in the deli.

There is a video of his “rabid dog” dialogue...
Ok. Am I supposed to get all verklempt? He didn’t say they were dogs, he was using analogy.....a literary device that can effectively communicate a truth.
give him another minute and he would begin explaining the size of dog brain stems
McCain, Graham, etc want to bring all these young able bodied men here then send our young able bodied men there to fight their war.
That’s the message Republicans against the so called refugees should be using.
Exactly.
Pigs = Jews
Apes = Christians
