Just saw Ben Carson on GMA

[StarlightGold]

What a disgusting pile of shit. George Steph asked him about when he told the gunman at the restaurant that the cashier was the one he wanted.
Carson got as pissy as one can get and said it was a totally different situation and that taking the gunman down wouldn't have worked.
In other words....when it was his worthless ass on the line, he didn't hesitate to throw others under the bus.

And he had the gall to act insulted at George's question.

1. He just keeps digging deeper into

that hole. His comment about guns being able to save the Jews from the Holocaust had me wanting to punch something. Why isn't anyone pointing out that what would have really helped the Jews was if all those fucking Christians didn't round them up and hand them to hitler on a silver platter. THAT would have been way more helpful than a couple of armed Jews. Disgusting and cowardly piece of shit is right.

[SHRED]

15. On that point...

Hungary, Poland, etc. all had way more than just guns yet they couldn't stop Hitler.
Carson is a lunatic and so are his supporters.

[trumad]

2. I think his chicken story is made up.

All cool and collected when the dude had a gun on him---yeah right.

[OneGrassRoot]

4. And he's so damn clueless...

not to see that -- for rational people -- his Popeye's story is the perfect example of his almost obscene hypocrisy!

Geez, this guy is loathsome. And every single Republican I know loves him. Or Trump.

Insanity.

[Faux pas]

3. Kickin'

[Loge23]

5. There's education and there's smarts

He's this cycle's Sarah Palin, with a better education.

[dembotoz]

6. the gop clown car is just whacky

like mentally ill, unfit to carry a firearm whacky

does the gop see our candidates as nuts or just evil???

cause some of their are just nuts

7. This morning I had a talk with a .."disgusting pile of sh*t...and it told me this:

It resented being compared to this asshole, Ben Carson. Sh*t stands at a much higher level, over all,.. then this poor excuse for a human being. Sh*t has a positive purpose and is actually important in some ways.

This asshole is not. Now, the assholes of the world may complain about being compared to Ben Carson, but that indeed is another discussion..(one I hope to have at some future point) .

8. What a liar, no police report of the Popeyes Incident and he can't even remember the date when it

even took place!

People tend to remember the exact date when someone sticks a gun in your ribs at a chicken joint.

[bulloney]

25. Someone ought to check into whether the Popeyes incident took place.

Strange that no police report has surfaced to verify Carson's claim, as you state, Yaba.

And if it ever turns out that there was no such incident that Carson described, file it with the other RW bullshit that's been spewing, like Kim Davis' "meeting" with the Pope, and that Carly Fiorina is this master at running businesses, and on and on.

[JHB]

9. George clearly didn't ask the obvious follow-up...

"All right, AFTER he turned, AFTER he was no longer sticking a gun in your ribs and was facing another direction... what did you do THEN?"

But George likes his paycheck, and keeps collecting it by not even thinking to ask questions like that.

[LisaL]

10. He certainly didn't act all heroically and instead did what he needed to save his own behind.

[bbgrunt]

12. Even his original answer about telling others to unite to take the Oregon

shooter down implied he would have been relying on others to do the heroic work--he would just act as cheerleader.

[DhhD]

26. He would drop to the floor so his sheep could take the hit; Republican form of representation.

11. As scary as Trump is, Carson is scarier IMO

He us just as clueless as Trump on all the issues and has his wacky religious beliefs tacked on. I really don't think that mainstream religious people blame things on Satan. Of course, secular people don't either.

[ProfessorPlum]

16. He is Chauncey Gardner

there doesn't seem to be anyone home.

[TexasBushwhacker]

19. LOL

I'm old enough to remember Chauncey Gardner. Carson seems almost like a savant - extremely talented in one thing but a total idiot in everything else. ZERO , unless it's for a child with an operable brain disease (then maybe). He truly doesn't understand the things he says are offensive. I think Trump knows what he says is offensive. He just doesn't care.

[OldRedneck]

13. I saw him on CNN . . . made me puke

He was on CNN spinning the bullshit about how Hitler confiscated all the guns in Germany thereby enabling him to take over. Wolf Blitzer challenged him but not much.

Where are the Edward R. Murrow's, the Walter Cronkite's -- the people who know what they are talking about, have facts at hand, and will let bullshit go unchallenged????

The Chinese have an adage: "When there are no great tigers in the deep mountains, even a monkey can become king."

[TexasBushwhacker]

22. TV journalists are too worried about being "balanced"

and not concerned enough about being right. Telling truth , and forcing others to tell the truth, is not biased.

[tex-wyo-dem]

24. That's why I don't watch the MSM "news"...

Anymore. It insults my intelligence and ends up pissing me off more times than not. With a few direct questions, Wolf could have easily totally destroyed Carson's bullshit. Instead he soft-pedals making Carson's ridiculous story appear it might have merit....disgusting!

The only true journalists left are relegated to 2nd and 3rd teir news organizations that you have to search out.

[NonMetro]

17. Do We Have A Problem With Inbreeding In The Republican Party?

Anybody can run for president, but when a kook like Ben Carson, a religious nut case who knows nothing about running the executive branch of our government, can pose a serious challenge for a major party nomination, it would be unbelievable if it wasn't actually happening!

[packman]

18. I think he was trying to tell a joke

Gunman puts a gun in customer ribs as he is standing in a line and tells the gunman that he really should be threatening the guy behind the counter with the cash register and money. Funny shit - tells a lot about the guy.

[Fast Walker 52]

20. the man is mentally disturbed

[Myrina]

21. My Mom died from Brain Cancer .... Carson's behavior reminds me of her.

.... behavior, confusion, inappropriate statements .... what finally led to the brain scan was the ER doc asking mom who was president - this was in 1986 - and she replied 'Eisenhower'.

[beac]

23. And when Trump was asked about it, he said he thought Carson was

"treated unfairly." Trump has also said if he wins, he'd give Carson a cabinet position. And these IDIOTS are the GOP frontrunners.
