Appearing on Fox News, former neurosurgeon and Tea Party favorite Dr. Ben Carson, described the scandal currently enveloping the Department of Veterans Affairs as a “gift from God.”

Using the problems at the VA, involving backlogged waiting lists full of veterans seeking medical care, Carson attempted to link the scandal to the Affordable Care Act which he opposes.

“I think what’s happening with the veterans is a gift from God to show us what happens when you take layers and layers of bureaucracy and place them between the patients and the health care provider,” Carson explained. “And if we can’t get it right, with the relatively small number of veterans, how in the world are you going to do it with the entire population?”


Carson previously called Obamacare, “…the worst thing that has happened in this nation since slavery.”

2. OMG, this guy must be suffering from memiry loss.

In the Bush Administration there was a blow up at Walter Reed Hospital, would he consider it a gift from God and was caused by Obama care? Tea Party crazy, they just can't help themselves.

3. Cards shown: False equivalency, plus a trainwreck mentality

Conservative kneejerk myth #1: Obamacare is the root of all evil, and forces us to obstruct everything else unrelated to it. Immigration reform, for starters. And keeping the government operating and paying it's bills.

Conservative kneejerk myth #2: Any bad things that might happen to individuals under Obama's time in office will be GOOD news and greeted with celebration because we can blame him for it. The worse the better, and as needed we can nudge events along while denying complicity and shifting blame.
