He may in fact be pretty intelligent. He may well be a genius. But for a party so obsessed with the optics of what the President does, they sure don't understand how bad the optics of their own behavior are.

Adds some fuel to the "Muslin Socalismist <strike>Nobama</strike>Carson" theory, though.

Those 'Rag Tag' forces allied themselves with a brutal despotic regime, and basically used the French army to achieve their aims.

He's the crazy people's Herman Cain.

Or, to use the GOP's terminology: An African American candidate.

<em>‘Carson said that ISIS is the same as the United States,'” he said. “They are just so ridiculous, so ridiculous.”</em>

They certainly are ridiculous. "ISIS" is first-person singular. "US" is second-person plural. Not even close ....

This shoots a big hole in the "America founded by Jesus" theory.

<i>"We now live in a society where people are afraid to say what they actually believe."</i>

Not me!

Ben Carson is a fucking asshole. People who hate Obamacare hate Americans. The military should be fully funded by a gas tax.

Carson declares ragtag ISIS army victory over US forces because of political correctness. This is actually the first I've heard that 5.56 rounds and Hellfire missiles had been reluctant to express their ideals.

Didn't some of our, oh, say, soldiers in America's armed services die, oh, not too long ago? Did they not believe in anything? Did superbrain Ben Carson determine their deaths were for nothing?

Ben Carson is 6 million kinds of wrong, because there is one thing this world needs a metric shit-ton less of: Dying at each others' hands. Especially for "reasons" like extremism. We don't need more.

If you didn't mean <i>that,</i> you probably shouldn't be someone that gets paid money to speak words out of your mouth hole, because you're not very good at it.
