[rsexaminer]

Tea Party favorite Ben Carson has a new theory about the women's health organization Planned Parenthood, which includes controlling the black population.

1. Carsons another overtly opportunistic person in the GOP clown car

2. Ben Carson is an asshole.

He knows what he said is a lie, but he said it anyway to pander to the Talibornagains in the black community.

Oh yeah, they exist. Just look up New York's "Atlah" church and it's wack job "minister."

3. Ben Carson demonstrating he's a pathological liar like all republicans.

4. Saw a Carson 2016 bumper sticker on a car the other day.

I swear I'm going to start waiting for these people to come out of the store, I don't think I've ever seen a real supporter of his.

10. Shit, I'm in SC I'm already taking a huge risk by waiting for them.

The vehicle screamed chill laid back person, I was enjoying all of their stickers until that one slapped me in the face. My hopes were again dashed & I was smashed back into the presence & realized I was still in SC.

5. That "theory" is not new.

The claim that abortion is a form of black genocide has been around since the 80's. Its proponents put forth stats about the number and percentage of black women having abortions. If they are smart enough, they bring Sanger's unsavory eugenics crap into the mix.

6. Yup. And the Martians are coming to

The picnic. They're bringing potato salad.

7. Trial balloon sent up for approval by Iowa and NH religious primary voter zealots by The Token GOP AA.

Pandering, or being forced to pander, to crazy all-white GOP crowds half a year before any votes are cast, that is what the fucked up GOP primary system is built around.

The Democratic system is only half as fucked up as that.

8. Wrong.

More like Planned Parenthood wants to help poor women to have the same options and freedoms as rich women.

Ben Carson, sociopolitical idiot.

11. Already saw some warnings about this new "Black Lives Matter" theme

Also notice how curiously it conflicts with the very same GOP's welfare theme about single women having too many babies? Talk about things that make you go hmmm...

Though, interestingly, the reverse of this has always been the bogeyman of immigration politics: all those Mexicans are Catholics, and they don't use birth control. Therefore, smaller White protestant families that allow birth control, will get easily swamped by this religion who won't get with their program.

Interesting cultural landmine. A lot of people would like to be able to discuss population policy as part of sensible US policy that raises the quality of life for everyone. But since this is a pluralistic culture that includes many religions and belief systems - and a political system that is highly malleable by identity politics - any discussion of population is going to automatically result in a conspiracy theory.

17. yes, it does give you pause

[Hekate]

12. Not this lie again.

[tavernier]

13. Where is the outrage??

Pregnant women are being dragged into abortion clinics to facilitate ethnic cleansing!!!

(Do I really need the sign?)

[LittleBlue]

14. This theory isn't new

It has been a theory within the black community for a long time.

[MisterP]

15. where's Thom Hartmann on this?

to berate anyone who disagrees with Carson, I mean

[samsingh]

16. carson the idiot has just lost the tea party

[Takket]

18. planned parenthood doesn't want to control anything

the whole point of planned parenthood is putting control into the hands of their clients.
