Ben Carson Defends Stabbing Claim, Violent Past (as if it is a good thing???) OMG, yes this is real


In the upside-down world that is the GOP and FoxNews, Ben Carson goes to great lengths to defend that he DID INDEED attempt to stab someone and also DID INDEED try to hit his mother with a hammer. Sounds like perfectly good 'Presidential material' to me, eh?





Ladies and Gentlemen, the GOP front runner... need we say more about this idiot?

1. When you have to deal with Putin, you have to be tough. Tough like Carson, not a softie like Bernie

If you have to take a hammer to your mother, than yes, you have to take a hammer to your mother.

If you have to stab a classmate, then yes, you have to stab a classmate. Who can dispute that logic? Carson is willing to make those tough calls.

Carson didn't ask to have a hammer-worthy mother, but that is what he got, and he had the fortitude to hammer.

Likewise, Carson didn't ask to have a stab-worthy classmate. Yet, that's what life dealt him. And he responded as one should.

Do you trust Hillary or Bernie to make tough calls like these? To be willing to bear hammers and knives and use them against mothers and classmates and whoever else deserves it? Well, I don't.

Carson is willing to stand up to Putin and ISIS. As for Hillary and Bernie? Are you kidding?

And that is all I have to say. This is Archie Bunker signing off.

are trying to "smear" him.

This guy is the front runner.

And on edit, let's remember that Bill Clinton decked his drunk Dad who was trying to beat his mother.

WTF? Carson is staunchly defending his past violent actions and Megan Kelly seems to be backing this hammer attacker and attempted stabber's story — as if it's a good thing.

I'm surprise Kelly didn't say "Well, your mother was no angel" as she did about the black teen girl at the pool party who was attacked back in the summer by mini robo cop

If Carson's poll numbers don't tank after this we have officially arrived at Bizzaro World where up is down, bad is good and a hammer attacker and attempted stabber — apparently losing it mentally — runs for the presidency and leads the repug polls.

When are the repugs going to realize this guy is a little "coocoo for cocoa puffs". I mean he's defending his adolescent criminality as if it's a good thing. He claims the pyramids were built for grain storage. He says a whack supplement he was paid to shill for cured his cancer.

What the hell is next with this guy.

9. Lies under the spotlight
Fri Nov 6, 2015, 10:54 AM
Nov 2015

...."The person that I tried to stab, I talked to today and said, 'Would they want to be revealed?' They were not anxious to be revealed, and it was a close relative of mine. I didn't want to put their lives under the spotlight."

These are Dr. Carson's words. Read them. They don't make sense. Is this how a well-educated person speaks or is it how a child caught in a lie stumbles around?

If Dr. Carson wants to use this incident to show how he turned his life around and became God's best buddy why on earth wouldn't the person who was there want to be known? Why wouldn't they stand next to Ben and say, "Yes! He tried to kill me. Now he loves me and God and everyone except muslims and liberals and the pope and immigrants and a bunch of other people he doesn't like. Isn't he wonderful?"
Methinks that one side of the doctor's mouth was saying, "I didn't want to put the LIES under the spotlight." Confused, he closed his eyes and blamed CNN.

Me also thinks that we're going to find out that Dr. Carson is badly damaged, either a brain tumor or frontal lobe injury, or something because this man makes Trump look reasonable and that's BEYOND INSANE!!

The GOP has officially become the BWGOP (Bizzaro World GOP).

A GOP presidential candidate goes on national Television to rebut charges that he is not a homicidal maniac.

And to think that I've been contemplating not voting Democrat (for the first time in my life) should HC win the Nomination. Thank you Ben Carson for putting things back in perspective

To the point where this could be believable...

Ben Carson: Area 51 Stores My Original Brain, Sasquatches

WASHINGTON (The Nil Admirari) - Earlier today, Republican presidential candidate and retired neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson announced the real purpose of Area 51 was to house his original brain, and a colony of Sasquatches. Carson's statement followed his declaration earlier in the week he still believed the true purpose of the pyramids in Egypt was to store grain.

Which one would you rather have for a president?

Sounds like a win-win to me.
