Ben Carson makes an ass of himself, again...



And please, don't call him "Uncle Ruckus" or "Uncle Tom."

Those are fictional characters.

Carson is simply an asshole.

Ben Carson: 'The Whole Purpose' Of Planned Parenthood Is To 'Eliminate Black People'

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Monday, 7/20/2015 12:15 pm

Ben Carson responded to a deceptively edited right-wing video about Planned Parenthood last week by accusing the group’s founder, Margaret Sanger, of trying to “eliminate black people.” In an interview with Iowa talk radio host Jan Mickelson, Carson responded with outrage to an audio clip of President Obama saying “God bless you” during a speech to Planned Parenthood. “You wonder if he actually knows the history of Planned Parenthood and Margaret Sanger, who was trying to eliminate black people,” he said. “That was the whole purpose of it.” His allegation rests on a debunked claim that has circulated through right-wing circles for years that Sanger was using birth control to exterminate the African American community.

2. That was before Carson found "Fox News Conservative Jesus". Same delusions, same reasons, same old-times religion.

3. As a Christian, I dispute that Carson's religion is old-time.

That reactionary faith of his is a modern phenomenon, which did not take off until the 19th century, perhaps even later.

Yes, they will be that desperate.

I have no basis for this, just my opinion.
