'Ol Ben Never Fails: Ben Carson compares some refugees to 'rabid' dogs

Washington (CNN)Ben Carson on Thursday compared safeguarding Americans from Islamic terrorists who may sneak into the country as refugees to parents protecting their children from rabid dogs.

"If there's a rabid dog running around in your neighborhood, you're probably not going to assume something good about that dog," Carson said during a campaign stop in Alabama. "And you're probably going to put your children out of the way. That doesn't mean that you hate all dogs."

He added, "But you're going to put your intellect into motion and you're thinking, 'How do I protect my children at the same time? ... I'm going to call the humane society and hopefully they can come and take this dog away and create a safe environment once again.'"

The Republican front-runner said it would be "foolish" to welcome Syrian refugees without systems in place to thoroughly vet them.

The Nazis called Jews rats. The Hutus called Tstutsis cockroaches.

People cannot kill human beings. But they can kill rats, cockroaches, or dogs. The first step towards being able and willing to exterminate people is to dehumanize them.

Ben Carson has ceased to be amusing.
