Carson has cancelled all campaign events for the rest of the day.

I guess those 9 people that took a vacation day to see Carson at campaign stops are out of luck.

Tweet captured from driver’s account just before the accident:
“I would rather drive my car off a bridge than spend one more minute working on the Carson campaign.”

When asked to comment, Ben Carson said, “The giant Moais on Easter Island were Goliath’s G.I.Joe toys.”

(Everyone just snickered and walked away.)

Ben, take this unfortunate situation as a sign. It is time for you to pack it in and stop putting these folks at risk for the sake of your publishing empire. God is watching you Ben, and there will come a day…

So, in other words, ALL of Dr. Carson’s Iowa campaign staff and volunteers.

While I don’t agree with Carson’s politics I sure don’t want anyone injured over it. No campaign is worth someone’s life.

If Ben Carson’s campaign ended today, would it make a sound?

Softly and tenderly Jesus is telling you to pack it in, Ben. The next sign might have worse consequences.

Title: “Carson Suspends Campaigning After 2016 Workers Injured In Car Crash”

That’s a lot of people to fit in one car, but as we know the GOP clown car is infinitely expandable.

Some of these comments are just gross. I disagree with Ben Carson on basically everything and think he’s a nutjob, but if any of the Democratic candidates did this you would be applauding their compassion.

Imagine if it was O’Malley instead of Carson and you saw these comments on a conservative site. You would be outraged.

Did Ben blame the liberal conspiracy against the “politically incorrect?”

Was it ice or did a pyramid spring a leak and spread grain over the highway?

If I were Ben Carson (Oh, thank god, I’m not), I would take that car crash as allegorical.

I was under the impression that clown cars always just bounce off things. They do in every cartoon I’ve ever seen.

I wonder why other democracies also don’t have a make-or-break political election involving a miniscule fraction of the nation’s total population who get to decide the winner (usually an insane extremist) in the middle of hazardous winter in the middle of a huge land mass…

Thank you. I agree. But I wish that carson would take this opportunity to suspend his campaign permanently.
