‘Crazy’ Ben Carson Is The GOP’s Voice of Sanity on Charleston

[oberliner]

Before today, Ben Carson was far from the voice of reason in the Republican party. The brain surgeon and presidential candidate has purveyed theories like “Obamacare is worse than slavery” and Obama’s America is reminiscent of Nazi Germany.

Now, however, Carson has the distinction of being the lone Republican candidate to be honest and plainspoken about the fact that racism was the motive for the Charleston church shooting.

How we got here is a sad indictment of American politics, where candidates would rather shove their fist in their mouths or speak in riddles than risk upsetting anyone with the reality of racism.

1. Don't know which is scarier, the fact that only one republican can admit it...

or the fact that the one who can is one of the craziest among them.

2. Good for Mr Carson

3. As I've said before, he's going to be their nominee.

Not because he's the best, but because they'll decide they can hide best behind him. And they'll hope to grab some of Obama's voters, who they assume are too dumb to notice anything but the color of Carson's skin.
