How in Christ’s name did this idiot ever get to be a brain surgeon. Affirmative action run amok I guess. Sad.

Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Ben Carson on Wednesday said some people “were just looking for something to complain about” in President Donald Trump’s remarks to the widow of a U.S. soldier killed in Niger earlier in October.

Can we all just agree that we didn’t have to work all that hard, looking for something?

“I mean, if he had said, you know, ‘I’m sorry, this is sure a dark day for you,’ they would have said ‘See, he’s a racist, he said a dark day,’” Carson, who is black, said, apparently referring to Johnson and his widow Myeshia Johnson, who are also black.

This administration really doesn’t understand racism at all. It’s not about words, it never was about words but the meaning that is put into those words. The words that the Donald said to Sargent Johnson’s widow were devoid of meaning, of substance, of sincerity. They rang hollow with Mrs. Johnson because Trump couldn’t be bothered with the details. He had to prove he was better than Obama and other Presidents. He used her grief for his own end because she wasn’t his equal and never will. That’s what people are complaining about Dr. Carson.

People make fun of Ben Carson but they forget: He’s an excellent songwriter. Just listen to this. (I can’t look at the man anymore without thinking of this.)

So Ben, who rose through the conservomediasphere - thinks the constant criticism and casting in negative light - is something new?

Heeeelllooooooo Ben… ever heard of Birtherism? Howabout the dude who got a whole lot of media attention for sending investigators to Hawaii - and they found mind blowing information out (never announced).

For more than 8 years that conservomediasphere hounded on every imagined thing.

Go back further - remember the 2004 election - why Kerry - he even looked ~gasp~ French! And a verb was even created for the treatment he got “Swiftboating”.

Let’s not even begin talking about the crazy Clinton hunts.

Ya, dude may be a brain surgeon - but he has no sense.

As to this chowder head, did you see his testimony to a congressional committee?
Take a look at this:

Like I said yesterday:
An incompetent President
Cabinet Secretaries run amok

We are experiencing a time here in the 21st century that makes Warren Harding look good.

“I mean, if he had said, you know, ‘I’m sorry, this is sure a dark day for you,’ they would have said ‘See, he’s a racist, he said a dark day,’” Carson, who is black, said.

If a 700-lb person wore horizontal stripes, the reason I’d call him morbidly obese would not be because of his choice of clothing.

“were just looking for something to complain about”

No one had to look too hard, the “something” is rather obvious.

The fact that Ben Carson used the “dark day” analogy shows that HE, in fact, is the racist

Since when does this country have public fights with gold star widows? This is so egregious I cannot believe it.

But he did during the campaign to the Khans and got away with it. This is the nastiest, dirtiest most disgusting thing this bunch of assholes has lined up to do - go after a gold star widow.

They think god is going to punish the US for gay marriage? Yeah - I would give anything if I believed there was a god they would have to face someday with this shit.

Kicking dead soldier’s wives is OK, but players kneeling at a football game is a reason to accuse them of disrespecting the military.

Still wrapping my head around that.

You’ve pointed out what I think is actually the biggest problem with his complaint - not just that Johnson had a legitimate complaint, or that Republicans dig olympic amounts of dirt, but that when republicans don’t actually find what they’re looking for, they totally fucking make up something.
