The headline makes him sound ridiculous, but the issue is that this could undermine his redemption narrative. If he was always just a mild-mannered achiever then he didn’t really overcome anything and his story is less compelling.
That's how we got stuck with Obama. Even Romney wouldn't campaign hard against Obama about Benghazi. What could that be except overcompensating for racism?
The SDA were involved with John Harvey Kellogg.
Yeah, that Kellogg.
So grains are, well, ingrained.
:)
Carson have said that he used to be a flaming Liberal, Democrat when he was young. Most people are, but then you wise up when you grow older
It is really bizarre.
You would think that these people would either fall in the Cruz camp or heck even Rubio.
But they support Carson? Something does not add up.
Carson is not my first choice, but the attacks by the MSM are really sad.
And the attacks by the Trumpsters to try to label Carson as crazy is even worse.
Were it to come down to Carson and Trump in the primaries. I’d go with Carson.
Reagan & George W Bush got awful treatment too. So did Romney. If this is the worst they can throw at Carson, he is going to do well.
Since Carson has no other personal faults, this is a form of ‘smear-master kung-fu’.
When you can’t smear someone for being more sleazy than he seems, then you can smear him as being even more boring than he claims. “He’s simply too mild and must therefore being bragging about how mean and passionate he once was. He must be a wimpy braggart.”
Very clever, IMO. Sleazy as the day is long.
Religion has nothing to do with it.
They guy is a snoozer, the most uninspiring candidate in a decade.
His nice guy persona would nor do this country well when the time comes to lock horns w Putin, ISIS, or any other national threat.
He’s also a liberal when it comes to amnesty and gun control.
Your point is well taken....that being said, Carson is definately not ready for prime time.
Just want the answer to one question:
Did Dr Carson designate CO when he registered for the draft like my SDA neighbors. If so I question his serving as CIC.
CNN trying to take away Doc’s street cred. But they let Hillary get away with “I ain’t no ways tarred!”
Bitter for sweet.
One wonders how the vultures would behave if they had broke the untold story of Carson's violent youth.
Let’s not fixate on out-of-context quotes, which is exactly what CNN and the rest of the state/uniparty-controlled media want us to do. This is all in the context of his discussion of his transformation from a troubled youth growing up without a father in Detroit to the head of neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins.
I have my questions about Dr. Carson too, but it troubles me greatly that the media goes after black conservatives (Alan Keyes, Herman Cain, etc., and now Dr. Carson) with a vigor that should get them branded as genuinely racist bigots and every single Republican candidate should call them out on it. The media didn’t want to know shit about Imam Obama - “Praise be unto Him”, but they can dig up all manner of horseshit on every black conservative who dares to place even a toe off the government plantation. Crazy Ole Uncle Joe Biden sounds like an escapee from an asylum every time he speaks, but we hear nothing about it from the MSM.
I want to hear any Republican candidate with the balls to say it ask the moderators in the next and every subsequent debate, “Tell me why the American media goes out of its way to destroy black conservatives as early as possible in the election process.” Then, “Why has no one posed a question to any of the Democratic candidates about the absolute lack of diversity in the field of Democratic candidates? The Republican field includes a black man, a white woman, an Indian, and two Latinos and you - the mainstream media, continue to indict Republicans - especially conservatives - as racists.” Oh, and I’d love to see Ted Cruz lead the way.
Manhunter out.
My objection has nothing to do with religion. I find his ties to Farrakhan, his goals for social justice, and other views not compatible with a strong America.
Bingo. The violent past narrative enhances his sinner credibility. It’s crucial to his narrative.
If he indeed caused a 3 inch gash on a kid’s forehead, the kid would have missed several days of school. Classmates would have asked the kid what happened. Carson would have been suspended or questioned by police. Lots of people would remember that incident.
He is there to take away the votes from Trump so Hillary can win....and last week when all the fury went down about the debates, Trump and Cruz showed you how dirty and corrupt the GOPe is...
Carson doesn't need SS protection...but Trump does...and I don't know about Cruz, but if Cruz doesn't have it, he should...these people are dirty and corrupt and they will do anything to take Trump out so Hillary can win....
Her crime family is dirtier than the mobs families...and she would ‘off’ anyone who got into her way...
Don't fall for the rigged polls and back Trump/Cruz they are in it to win....
Hooah! I’m not a Carson “fan”, but I’d damn sure vote for him before any Democrat and at least half of the remaining Republican candidates.
He’s an odd one. Verifiably accomplished in a difficult field, often well spoken, says some things that conservatives are desperately longing to hear, charismatic in a way that isn’t too phony. And then completely out of touch with reality and unaware of just how what he says sounds sometimes....
