No. We think you’re a uniquely unqualified and dangerously uninformed idiot, despite the whole brain surgeon thing. Happy to clear that up.

Wonder if he realizes that he is playing a version of the race card he usually denounces.

fargo116 · October 9, 2015, 5:43pm

Actually ‘think’ has nothing to do with it. We KNOW your an Uncle Tom.

antisachetdethe · October 9, 2015, 5:45pm

Never heard any of my progressive friends call him an Uncle Tom. Have heard a few pithy comments about Uncle Ben’s CONVERTED Rice.

Never even entered his head.

“Race doesn’t really keep you down in this country if you get a good education,” he said.

Really? Well, listen to a few of your ‘supporters’ after you lose your first primary. Bet they disagree with that. A LOT.

No, we just think you’re cray cray and completely unqualified to hold public office. We couldn’t give a shit about the color of your epidermis.

I was going to say he actually looks like a younger version of Uncle Ben.

What? A sponge?

bluestatedon · October 9, 2015, 5:49pm

No, we think you’re a clueless bozo with a surgical sponge where your frontal cortex ought to be.

Rupert Murdoch is the one who said that Dr. Carson would be a real black POTUS. Who really played the race card?? Progressives just think you Dr. Carson is just nutso.

buzz · October 9, 2015, 5:53pm

effing ignoramus. This guy is so out of touch with reality on all levels.

callmeeric · October 9, 2015, 5:53pm

Education can elevate you past racism, Carson said.

Isn’t Carson dead set on shutting down the department of education?

estamm · October 9, 2015, 5:55pm

Boy, that wingnut welfare must be really lucrative gig.

inlabsitrust · October 9, 2015, 5:56pm

Uh, Ben, except Tamir Rice was only 12 when he was shot and killed by Cleveland police, so I do not think his lack of a college degree had anything to do with the police judgment here.

callmeeric · October 9, 2015, 5:57pm

Maybe the police weren’t educated past racism.

willpower · October 9, 2015, 5:59pm

No Dr. Carson - we think you are somewhere between a garden-variety sociopath and this guy:

I’m not really a Tarantino fan, but boy that was a great movie.

“…the color of my pigment…”

The color of your…pigment?! The COLOR OF YOUR PIGMENT!???
I don’t know how much more of this my old heart can take.
