Fuckie Todd is comparing Ben Carson with Jimmy Carter

[malaise]

Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah hahahahha - that man is beyond dumb.

Here fool:

Carter, a Democrat raised in rural Georgia, was a peanut farmer who served two terms as a Georgia State Senator, from 1963 to 1967, and one as the Governor of Georgia, from 1971 to 1975.

[guillaumeb]

1. The names Carson and Carter both start with the same three letters,

and both names are six letters and two syllables long.

So there.

[malaise]

2. ROFL

[DesertFlower]

3. carson is a phony. he got paid to give

speeches for a supplement company and then said he had no involement with them.

it amazes me how people stupid people are. just because they like a person and his story doesn't mean he's qualified to be president.

5. Meanwhile the cancer striken 91 year old Carter was building homes

yesterday and has never taken money for a single speech.

Former President Jimmy Carter and his wife, Rosalynn Carter, at the end of their workday at a Habitat for Humanity house Monday, Nov. 2, 2015.

Former President Jimmy Carter says he's not slowing down anytime soon.

"I still feel good," Carter told NPR's "All Things Considered."

"I'm taking special treatments for the cancer in my brain and in my liver," Carter told NPR. "Part of the liver was removed and they did the treatment on four places in my brain with radiation."

Carter also revealed he's taking a "long-term medicine" to help fight the cancer.

"I'm feeling better than anybody expected me to so I'm still maintaining a pretty normal schedule, I'd say," he said.

The former president, who has long been an advocate of Habitat for Humanity, has been building houses with the organization this week in Memphis, Tennessee.

11. Carter is paid between $50,000 and $100,000 for speeches.

Jimmy Carter: $50,000-$100,000

The former president commands an average of $50-$75,000 for his speeches about democracy, peace and diplomatic relations, particularly in underdeveloped countries. Carter is well known for advocating for human rights and for his philanthropic work around the world since leaving political office.

Over the past two decades, speaking for money, especially to foreign audiences, has become a common way for ex-presidents to find financial security. Ronald Reagan raised eyebrows collecting $2 million in Japan shortly after he left office in 1989. And George H.W. Bush and Jimmy Carter have both traveled extensively to lecture for pay.

18. He's worth every penny eom

[former9thward]

24. No doubt.

But the person I replied to said Carter had never taken a dime from any speech.

[DesertFlower]

13. jimmy is a wonderful man. nt

[spanone]

4. when carson works for habitat for humanity at 91 years old, i'll consider it

till then, carson couldn't carry President Carters nail belt.

[procon]

6. That's not what he said.

He was discussing a recent column in the National Review, "Ben Carson Is Following Jimmy Carter’s Presidential Playbook".

http://www.nationaljournal.com/s/90225/ben-carson-is-following-jimmy-carters-presidential-playbook


He was talking about the similarities, like the overall dissatisfaction with political climate, and that both Carson and Carter were unconventional candidates with huge draw to grass­roots strength.

[malaise]

8. It's a crap comparison

Carter served at several levels of government before becoming President.

[tabasco]

10. Including several years as a military officer. n/t

[procon]

14. Right, I think that was in the article.

You'd have to read it yourself to argue the points with any clarity, rather than just focusing on my brief, sketchy summary.

[JHB]

28. National Journal, not National Review. n/t

[Gothmog]

7. Carson is no Jimmy Carter

[tabasco]

9. What do you expect to see on the plutocracy-owned mass media? Truth?

[font size=6]TURN THAT SHIT OFF.

[valerief]

12. I believe Carter whacked his mother with a hammer and stabbed several people.

Or am I thinking of Carson, the insane one?



Carson can't lick the soles of Carter's shoes. He's an asshole.

[malaise]

16. OK you win the thread

[valerief]

17. Just so long as "Stabby" Carson doesn't win anything, I'll be happy.

[malaise]

19. Well then you'll be happy

He's not even winning a raffle - the polls are so rigged it's a joke

[LiberalArkie]

23. When Carson or any of the candidates go inside a hot nuclear reactor then let's talk.

[malaise]

27. LOL

He's too busy hawking books

[LiberalArkie]

15. There is not a single Republican that could come even close to Carter and damn few Democrats.

[malaise]

21. +1,000

[TBF]

20. When Carson is 91, has cancer, and is still building homes

for Habitat for Humanity then I may listen to that ...

Habitat in Memphis:

[malaise]

22. Perfect

The supplements will probably take him out earlier

[Laffy Kat]

25. How. Dare. Him.

Carson not fit to breath the same air as Carter.

[orpupilofnature57]

26. Jimmy Carter is a Father to this country, Ben Carson is Dr Strangelove .

Chuck is a Misanthropic Sycophant Monster .

[kelliekat44]

29. So is trying to sully the reputation of Carter? Really sad. nt
