Ben Carson said Wednesday night that he was "irritated" by the comparison between the fight for same-sex marriage rights and the Civil Rights Movement because there's no overt segregation against gays.
Speaking on Fox News' "Special Report", Carson elaborated on his remarks on CNN in March that he believes being gay is a choice because people "go into prison straight -- and when they come out, they're gay."
The GOP presidential contender told host Brett Baier that he "shouldn't have allowed my emotions" into the conversation, but was reacting to CNN host Chris Cuomo's line of questioning on the issue.
"I was a little bit irritated that he was equating the whole [gay marriage] issue with the Civil Rights movement. Because, quite frankly, I didn't remember any times when there were signs up that says, you know, 'everybody else here and gay people have to drink at this fountain,'" he said.
Do you know what irritates me about Ben Carson? Just about everything.
I can hardly wait to see this jackass on the debate stage. He is going to crash and burn in a very spectacular manner, you just wait and see.
I have a feeling there'll be a stack of vanquished clowns to break his fall.
ReplyDeleteBen knows alittle bit Had a real job as,a brain surgein discovered in science for equipment safer for women and men 60 Doterates the nedal of honor Carson Scholarships so that children living in poor getto.

I can say Ben Carson is the Real deal.
DeleteCarson is such an ignorant asshole. He should just drop out of the presidential race right now.
ReplyDeleteJust another educated imbecile.
ReplyDeleteRemember too that Carson is the 'token' black guy the Republican party put up to run for POTUS. He'll not make it to the primary race much less ever be elected!
ReplyDeleteNo he us not he has accomplised have i. One finger than all of ongress which is nothing but 14 trillion in debi no jobs maybe try a man of the century.give him a chance like Obummer.
DeleteBen Carson? Just goes to show you that you don't need to be a rocket scientist to be an affirmative action "brain surgeon".
ReplyDeleteIf I or my child ever needed a brain surgeon, I would have happily taken this "affirmative action" surgeon. Let's focus on politics and the fact that he is a well educated buffoon.
Delete@12:56: Ben may be a raging imbecile in politics, but it would seem he was quite distinguished in medicine. Maybe you should be looking into whether there is "affirmative action" for stupid people...
DeleteWhy did he quit?
DeleteHow can a person be distinguished in "medicine" and say that a person goes into prison straight and comes out gay?
DeleteHe was a well trained surgeon with above average hand eye coordination and dexterity. That =/= education, intelligence or compassion.
DeleteBecause he's basically a car mechanic who knows a lot about something very specific, but nothing about anything else.
DeleteI'm wondering if there is any evidence that this happens. I can understand having same gender sex in prison, but to prefer it after? I would like to see some studies.
DeleteThe whole religious freedom bill deal was wxactly for the purpose of reserving the right to say No fags allowed.
ReplyDeleteWhat a doofus.

I was watching you, kind doctor! Only thing better was seeing the bible quoter get all wee-wee'd up when confronted over his name calling, and taking his ball and going home like a three-year-old.
Deletehee hee hee
Talk about sweeping generalizations!
ReplyDeleteGo to prison, come out gay?!?!
Please.
Last time they rolled out the clown car, their token was a pizza guy who promised not to let China develop nuclear weapons.
ReplyDeleteGreat victory today in defeating Obama's trade bill
ReplyDeleteHope congress is now ready to finish their job
Repeal Obamacare
and impeach Barack Hussein
You moron. Your party supported this deal . It was Dems who stopped it.
DeleteThis has got to be a Heath or a Palin because nobody else could be THAT stupid.
DeleteYou hate to compare him to Herman Cain, as it will seem like the reason is his skin colour...the REAL reason is that his positions are just as ridiculously absurd as Cain's were.
ReplyDeleteTo the point where you start to wonder if his whole campaign is simply "theater" as Cain's was.
Unfortunately Ben isn't nearly as much of a Showman as Herman was. Herman was occasionally amusing, Ben is just pure amateur hour wannabe like Jindal.
DeleteI genuinely believe Herman was doing some sort of demented performance art. Ben is just weakly grasping at the same feeble conservative straws everyone else is, in an attempt to figure out which one will resonate enough with the RWNJ's to get them some recognition.
Ultimately I think this is the lethal virus Our $$arah infected the GOP with; the "well, let's see if THIS ONE sticks..." mentality.
Rather than having ideas, a personality and a vision, campaigning is reduced to an arbitrary string of poo-flinging shallow partisan bumpersticker slogans at voters in the hope that you stumble onto that special one that doesn't slide down the wall.
So basically Palin gave the GOP cancer. Who says she hasn't done anything meaningful?!?
well if the shoe fits, they have to wear it. Ever notice there aren't two of most anything - one woman, one Indian, onee Hispanic, one African American....
DeleteWell put, Boscoe!
DeleteCarson is so sure that he is part of the in-gang (GOP) that he doesn't see that he is their token black person while Fiorini is the token woman. Graham is the token gay even though he refused to come out of his closet. They may be more gays in the group running for President on the GOP team but they all keep quiet about until they are outted due to bad behavior generally :)
ReplyDeleteOFF TOPIC, BUT IMPORTANT!
ReplyDeleteAnchorage, Alaska ranked #1 in gun violence today!
Their Republican Mayor, Sullivan, is expiring (thank god!) and a Democrat - Ethan Berkowitz - will take office July 1st .
Alaska has a Republican majority Legislature and a police force that has been controlled by the expiring Anchorage Mayor. Huge changes need to be made to the Anchorage Police Department to include its leadership.
Alaska is an embarrassment to the nation. Hopefully, their new Governor Walker is going to be able to accomplish the things he desires. But, so far, the majority Republican Legislature has blocked/countered him every step of the way.
Alaskans need to elect new and younger folks for their Legislature as well as a newer generation that doesn't push their religious beliefs on their constituents!
ALASKA NEEDS TO TURN ITSELF BLUE!
Ricky Perry is gay as a parade too. Trust me...
ReplyDeleteFuck this guy for thinking it's ok for certain people to gain equal civil rights and then slamming the door behind him.
ReplyDeleteWhen are you going to stop talking about gays like you promised?
ReplyDeleteBecause the only thing that cvilrights was about was water fountains - Ben, you dumbass.
ReplyDeleteNo overt segregation of gays. Really?
ReplyDeleteDoes this guy live in a cave?
WTF. Is this what it is like for Caucasians when they hear complete BS issued forth from the maw of someone stupid like Sarah Palin or Newt Gingrich or Rick Perry. You must just wish that you could disown them. Well that is what listening to this idiot is like for us African Americans. We just want him to SHUT THE HELL UP!!! He adds NOTHING to the true discussion of social evolvement of the human race. How can someone so technically smart be so oblivious to the social workings of the world and history. Lots of self-loathing and complete blinders as to what true struggle is.
ReplyDeleteThis man cut people's scalps, peeled it back, then sawed the top of their skulls off and diddled with people's brains for a living. I wonder how many LGBT people he took money from over his long, distinguished career?
ReplyDeleteDid you know that All Doctors bury their mistakes? Yep yep yep. I saw it on a sign once. Gotta be true.
I hate to make this about race (aka, come out and say he's the token), but somehow, I think if it weren't for how he looks, he'd be just another rich conservative fundraiser for the party.
