Call the wahbulance for Ben Carson!

"I made a stupid remark, so my critics are racists! Wahhhh!!!"



Dr. Ben Carson has pivoted from apologizing "if anybody was offended" by his anti-gay comments to attacking his critics, some of whom he says are "racist[s]" who are trying to smear him as a bigot in order to silence him.

Carson, who has been lauded by the conservative media and treated to dozens of Fox News appearances over the past few months, lashed out at his critics during an April 1 interview on The Mark Levin Show.

The noted surgeon and Johns Hopkins University neurosurgery professor has been subject to harsh criticism, including from students and staff at Johns Hopkins Medical School, since he compared gays who support marriage equality to pedophiles and practitioners of bestiality during a March 27 interview on Fox News' Hannity.

1. Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences.

2. Mark Levin still has a show?

He's almost a caricature of the right-wing talk show host; the nasal, sneering voice, the staccato speech pattern... whenever I used to hear him on the radio I pictured a Disney rat.

7. Wonders never cease.

You're far too kind with the rat reference. I always thought of a shithouse rat since he's just that crazy.

He's no longer on the air in Atlanta; I used to enjoy laughing at him for a few minutes occasionally before his shrill voice made my ears hurt and bleed.

3. Carson is a Creationist kook! I'm suprised it took this long for him to say something....

stupid enough to get him national attention.
I think he has some form of Autism or mental illness. He is able to preform surgery and understand medicine at a high level but he is a virtual idiot in other areas. A scientist that believes the Earth is 6000 years old has serious problems. He sounds as if he is on some kind of mind numbing drug when he speaks.

4. Racist...

6. That Classic! Was that

from the movie.. if so do you know what "word" he was refering to, progressoid?

8. Inconceivable!

9. O.M.G.! lol

thanks for that, progressoid.. that movie had such brilliance!

Gotta love Wallace Shawn too.. he's still going strong. I see him around.

5. The human brain is incredible.. how it can

be smart in some areas and completely bat-shit crazy stupid in other parts.

10. Note to Dr. Carson: when you compare romantic relationships between consenting adults...

...to pedophilia and bestiality, YOU ARE, IN FACT, A BIGOT.

11. Member of the party...

that accuses people of using the race card uses the race card.

12. My thoughts exactly, Carson is doing what the right accuses the left of doing all the time,

but hey it's politics and they NEED Carson to have sympathy for a presidential run in 2016. I think he'll just do it for the hype and speaking fees a la Santorum or Gingrich.
