PZ unhappy that Sam kinda likes Ben

[struggle4progress]

... Harris ..speaks highly of Carson's approach to fighting "jihadists":

Given a choice between Noam Chomsky and Ben Carson, in terms of the totality of their understanding of what’s happening now in the world, I’d vote for Ben Carson every time. Ben Carson is a dangerously deluded religious imbecile ... the fact that he is a candidate for president is a scandal ... but at the very least he can be counted on to sort of get this one right. He understands that jihadists are the enemy.

Ben Carson, it should be noted, is a climate change denier, a pathological liar, an evolution skeptic, an Egyptian pyramid truther, and a noted plagiarist ...

1. In this particular issue, Harris is being a complete dumbass.

I tend to agree with PZ more than Harris anyway. Of course, neither is a leader to me, so, there's that.

I also do not like Harris' potshots at Chomsky, but that's to be expected given their history.

2. PZ has a knack for identifying the insufferable asshats among us.

And Sam Harris is an insufferable asshat.
