Bob Beckel Bashes Dr. Ben Carson For "Racist White Liberals" Remark



Being a white liberal, I was infuriated with Dr. Carson's latest remarks about us being "racist." Our party has done more for African-Americans than ANYONE! Who the hell is he kidding!?

No one said "Carson can't have that opinion cause he's black." That would be stupid (and certainly racist). Sure, some people pointed out that the logic he uses against marriage equality is the same logic used against interracial marriage two generations ago. But the same points are made against white people who attack the gay marriage movement.

Calling people racist because they disagree with a black person is simply playing the race card. This faux persecution complex that too many conservatives have is utterly childish.

I once read Carson's life story in Reader's Digest and found him so admirable. Then.

Too bad he's also capable of such stupidity. Genius idiot, I guess.
