Ben Carson: "I tried to hit my mother in the head with a hammer"

[Rose Siding]

All pre-conversion, of course. Yikes.

1. SNL should have fun with this guy

3. Wonder why Trump hasn't used it.

[brush]

26. He probably will tonight in the second debate.

[HassleCat]

2. Typical fundie confession

I was an alcoholic. I was on drugs. I ran with gangs. I had sex. I had sex with alcoholic gangs of drug addicts. And so on. If Jesus had not come into my life, I would be dead or in prison. Yadda, yadda, yadda.

4. Eek

[polichick]

5. This guy comes off as a sociopath on downers.

[CanonRay]

8. Exactly right

and he remains a sociopath.

[redwitch]

17. Yes!

Something is clearly wrong with Dr. Carson.

[MynameisBlarney]

20. Maybe he gave himself a lobotomy

with that hammer he tried to hit his mother with.

[notadmblnd]

23. possibly misusing/abusing his meds

6. Clever Ben trying to lock-up the "GOP mother-beater vote". -nt-

[valerief]

7. What a creepy, crazy fuck. nt

[CanonRay]

9. I do not want this guy with his finger on the trigger of a nuclear war

No thanks.

[MrWendel]

10. If there was any...

further proof that they don't provide any psych tests for politicians and candidates, look no further.

[olegramps]

11. What a fine line there is between genius and sociopath.

He could push an old lady down the staircase in her wheelchair with the same smirk on his face as when he cons the gullible low information Republican clods.

[Iliyah]

12. This guy has some serious mental problems

Matter of fact, it seems like a whole lot of GOPs have mental issues.

[uhnope]

16. I think he might be a true sociopath

[Politicalboi]

13. So he shit his anger out in 3 hrs

[LiberalArkie]

14. So he bashed in his own head to make up for it?

[Geronimoe]

15. The republican voters love

wild and crazy guys.

[restorefreedom]

25. they have to being these guys back for the primaries

[polichick]

28. That's the part that fascinates me - what has happened to their brains?

[chowder66]

18. I don't buy it

I've been hearing about this and watching this video made me again doubt him. I think this is all bluster and bizarre bluster at that.

So I decided to type into google, "I don't believe Ben Carson", stabbing

and found this....

19. At least he's honest. nt

[jaxind]

21. It's OK!

It's OK because carson asked God for forgiveness, and he asked God to change his path...so guess what?? Now, the republican base will throw flowers at his feet! All is OK!!

[Rose Siding]

22. I'm all for people turning their lives around

-by whatever methods work. It doesn't mean I'd trust them with the presidency. Or my car keys.

[notadmblnd]

24. I get the same feeling when I listen to him speak as I do

when I'm watching paint dry.

[ion_theory]

27. This guy has to be medicated somehow...

If there is any truth to this story, you don't just change in a 3 hour period, in a bathroom, with a bible. Based on the way he talks and his tone I'm gonna say Valium or Ativan. My patients get almost the same way, especially the ones that are on a daily dose.

[grasswire]

29. he has a very weird affect of talking with his eyes closed

I noticed it a few days ago. It's not a blink. He will close his eyes for an extended period of time. Over, and over again. It's really creepy.

[polichick]

30. Try watching him with the sound muted - sooo creepy.

[dawnie51]

31. But don't you know......

once you're "saved" or "converted" it's all good! You can have done anything, but if you just repeat "Jesus is Lord" in front of a congregation, it's a new day, and all that crap never happened.

[Bucky]

32. Intriguing Carson video

[2naSalit]

33. So now he's on a steady diet of doggie downers...

and he's leading in the polls. Horrifying how far we've fallen and most don't seem to notice... blinded by anger and ignorance.
