Related: About this forumBeckel ‘Infuriated’ By Dr. Carson’s ‘Racist White Liberal’ Comments: ‘You Are Not That Important'
VIDEO here: http://www.mediaite.com/tv/foxs-beckel-infuriated-by-dr-carsons-racist-white-liberal-comments-you-are-not-that-important/
Tuesday afternoon, Fox News The Five took on Dr. Ben Carsons controversial interview with conservative radio host Mark Levin, in which Carson called his white liberal detractors the most racist people there are. Those words in particular got under host Bob Beckels skin and he let Carson know just how infuriating he found them.
Recalling his liberal father, who he said was arrested 57 times during the Civil Rights Movement, Beckel attacked Carson for minimizing the lefts fight for racial equality. For Dr. Carson to make that kind of statement shows he doesnt know what hes talking about, he said. Its an attack on the very heart of what many liberals believe in. He is the last person that Im going to take that from.

a rare oddity, like the platypus, who believes no one goes hungry in America and other crazy con stuff. he is also a distinguished surgeon and scientist, so you'd think he would know better
