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

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 groups 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.

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

Sorry Ben, you can't trump Trump

Yes, they will be that desperate.
I have no basis for this, just my opinion.
