Ben Carson on the church massacre

[republicanchick]

Ben Carson, Donald Trump - conservatives have a long history of having "love affairs" with right-wing candidates for the most powerful job in the world that have no political experience or "track record" on which to judge.

ha ha... the irony is just too out there...

Ahhhh my friend! You are prescient? You knew what Fox News was "preparing to do" even before they did it?
WOW!

More like "as they were" doing it. But the narrative never really connected and came to be ridiculed before it came to fruition.

Did anyone else hear Carson’s own experience confronting a gunman?

The more I study the more I am angry at politicos like Carson who are hypocritical and self-serving. Thanks, Mr. Carson for letting me down in an epic fashion.

do you recognize that the situation at Popeyes was a very different situation, where an armed robber wanted cash?

can you discern that an armed robber wanting cash is a very different situation than a racist lunatic wanting a high body count?

Carson made no such distinctions when he criticized the survivors of the church massacre.

Yes, a church is not a Popeye’s, a robbery is not a massacre.

I think to keep your own professed integrity, you should evaluate reality in terms of differences, rather than looking for the common patterns in the matter.

I choose to take the focus off the differences and look plainly at the character of Ben Carson. His character is hypocritical. In one instance he is truly cowardly and in the other instance he is oh-so-willing to stop violence at any cost.

I no longer have any use for Ben Carson.

you have to stop doing this

Carson did not "criticize" the survivors of the church massacre

Some people are claiming that he criticized the survivors of the Umpqua Community College shooting


i'll wait until you get back on track and then we can continue

Meanwhile - here's the "criticism" from Carson:

(Carson) was asked by Fox News "Fox and Friends" co-host Brian Kilmeade about what would happen if a gunman pointed a gun at him and asked him his religion.

"Not only would I probably not cooperate with him, I would not just stand there and let him shoot me. I would say 'Hey, guys, everybody attack him! He may shoot me but he can't get us all,'" Carson said.

I may be wrong, but I remember Carson saying that he knew full well what the survivors “should" have done. By offering his opinion, he was leveling a de facto criticism of what they actually DID do.

And if his past behavior is any clue, he is talking out of both sides of his mouth.
