Ben Carson Completely Self Destructs And Goes Full Blown Nutter On Fox News

Fox News Sunday tried to ask Ben Carson some policy questions about the terrorist attack in Paris, and the result was a dose of insanity that include a lectured on brain sizes, and Carson’s support for a shooting war with Russia.

and he was of a different race, would he be where he is?

Where does the GOP come up with black candidates who believe their ideology?

Alan West in 2012. Carson.

Doesn't seem so long ago that they were "cheese-eating surrender monkeys" who didn't deserve to have fried potatoes named after them.

What a difference a terrorist attack makes!

Sometimes he just babbles and it doesn't seem to be going anywhere. Listening to him talk, I had that Sarah Palin moment where I was hearing Miss Teen South Carolina talking about maps.

I think he gets away with it more than Sarah because he's so boring. I confess, when he starts talking I find it very hard to focus on what he's actually saying.

...but that was pretty good word salad. Tragedy is that a whole lot of VOTERS will think it's brilliant analysis, that should be rewarded with four years in the White House. Jesus Henry Christ, please let the adults prevail.

I hope Carson wins the Republican nomination, or even Trump. The world needs an idiotic comedian,.

Let's make America the laughing stock of the world. Republicans are too stupid to be embarrassed

Carson actually said we have to fight them over there so we don't have to fight them here.

GOP expects 100% - Take, which means not sharing the number of contracts, needed to get started with the air and ground war, with any other country. Carson is also speaking to the 2003 spending that was way to few troupes and to few war machines, a mistake not to be repeated by the next GOP Warmongering American Imperialist President, MIC and TPTB Pork legislation.
